The Aputure STORM 1000c is a 1000W full-color RGB LED monolight for gaffers, studios, rental houses, and commercial crews that need a high-output color fixture for saturated looks, gel-style color control, white-light work, and STORM accessory planning in Canada. Order it through Filmgear Canada in Canada with Canadian dealer and manufacturer-warranty support and no U.S. retailer import or tariff surprise for Canadian buyers; contact us before a deadline-sensitive shoot for current availability.
Use the official STORM 1000c videos to judge the full-color workflow, fixture scale, modifier path, and how it compares with STORM 1200x before building a high-output kit.
The STORM 1000c is the Aputure STORM choice when full-color control is a real production requirement, not a nice extra. It belongs on sets where RGB color, precise white balance, creative color effects, and accessory standardization matter enough to justify a larger professional fixture.
The buyer decision is usually STORM 1000c vs STORM 1200x. Searches for Aputure 1000c usually come from crews deciding whether color control, matching, gel-style looks, music-video work, commercial color, or rental flexibility matter more than maximum white-light output through diffusion or windows.
The STORM 1000c should be chosen for color workflow first; if the job is mostly white-light output, compare down the table before buying.
| Option | Choose it when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| STORM 1000c with Wide Reflector | Choose it when full-color output is central and you want the base fixture package with reflector first. | You still need to plan CF12, Spotlight Max, skid, case, stand, power, and transport separately. |
| STORM 1000c Cine Kit | Choose the Cine Kit when Fresnel, barn doors, skid support, and a more complete production package are part of the first purchase. | Higher package cost if you already own or do not need those accessories. |
| STORM 1200x | Choose 1200x when white-light punch, large diffusion, and output headroom matter more than saturated color. | It is bi-color, not the same full-color creative tool. |
| STORM 700x | Choose 700x when a smaller crew needs more manageable size and stand flexibility. | Less headroom than the 1000c/1200x class. |
Build this page as a STORM system decision: compare the Cine Kit, STORM 1200x, CF12 Fresnel, CF12 barndoors, skid, reflector kit, and Spotlight Max before treating the head as a complete package.
Choose this for commercial crews, gaffers, studios, music-video teams, rental houses, and owner-operators who already know color control is part of their paid work.
Do not make this the first choice if you mostly need maximum white-light output, compact AC power handling, a smaller softbox or grid package, a small creator light, or several RGB accents. Compare STORM 1200x, STORM 700x, STORM 400x, STORM 80c, or MC Pro first.
| Fixture class | 1000W full-color RGB LED monolight |
|---|---|
| Color workflow | Aputure BLAIR-CG full-color STORM system |
| Mount path | ProLock Bowens mount plus STORM optical accessory planning |
| Package focus | Wide Reflector version for buyers building the accessory path separately |
