Aputure 1200X - Announced

[DustinSchmidt]

Looks like Aputure is rolling out their new 1200X.

My first thought after looking at some of the specs/reviews is, are we finally seeing the Prolycht 675 tech being integrated into a new light from Aputure?

wow and it's only $3k? the Nanlux 1200B is about $900 more expensive. the spectrum on their product page looks like it's essentially incorporating the "dual blue" chipset seen on some other (pre-Prolycht) lights. though obviously that's not the same as this BLAIR business they're talking about...

The new compact fresnel looks similar to the Prolycht design for the 675. This is tempting. I just put my two 600d Pro’s out on a travel package and was gonna replace them with the new 600c Pro II’s, but they’re not using the Prolycht light engine, so I put that idea on pause. But maybe I go for a pair of these for my HMI replacements, now. And they’re only ~$500 more than the c’s and appear to be brighter than the original 1200d.

The early reviews are glowing (pun intended). I decided to “pre-order” two last week. Anyone else decide to jump?
