The Amaran F21c is a flexible, high-output, full-color LED mat that offers outstanding performance and versatility for a wide range of users - from filmmakers to videographers, content creators to photographers. With an output power of 100W, this ultra-light 2x1 inch mat is capable of outputting 3,360+ lux at 1 meter (5600K) - a top value in its class. Install the included foldable softbox and instantly transform this flexible mat into an ultra-flat, soft light that illuminates any subject with outstanding CRI and TLCI values of 95+ and 98+. And with stepless dimming from 0 to 100 %, you can achieve the perfect light intensity every time. The F21c features RGBWW LEDs for full color control as well as adjustable color temperature from 2,500K to 7,500K and offers endless possibilities for creative lighting choices through 360° HSI control, 46 color gel presets or even up to 15 unique lighting effects. What's more, with the F21c's Sidus Link app control, you can be sure you're always in control of your lighting design.
Setting up the F21c is quick and convenient with the compact, foldable X-Frame that extends the F21c into a rigid panel. This frame can be attached directly to a C-stand grip head with the straight baby pin adapter or to any standard light stand with the included right-angle baby pin and tilting stand mount, making it an ideal option for all types of filmmakers and creatives.
Attach the included softbox, one of two diffusion strengths, and fabric grid with the integrated Velcro to further refine your lighting design and bring a beautifully controlled, soft light to your scene.
You can also swap out the softbox for an Amaran F21 lantern modifier (sold separately), which allows you to replicate a volumetric lantern or pancake light with an ultra-light full-color spotlight.
With the integrated 3 meter head cable and included 3 meter extension, the F21c has a range of 6 meters from its compact control box. The F21c has been designed from the ground up for a perfect balance of size, weight and intensity. The F21c's LED design and heat dissipation result in powerful performance in a flexible, featherweight design.
Each control box is also equipped with a multi-voltage battery plate so you can use compatible 14.4V, 26V or 28.8V batteries. You can also achieve full power when using the AC power supply, which comes with a specially designed battery plate holder to ensure a seamless user experience. Combined with the soft case, the F21c becomes a portable light that you can take anywhere on any production.
The Sidus Link app allows access to tools unique to the Aputure and Amaran ecosystems, such as Source Match, Color Picker and Custom FX, all from your smartphone or tablet. Unique to the latest devices in the amaran product line is that you control the F21c via DMX with a special USB-C to 5-pin DMX512 In & Out adapter cable, providing professional control of your flexible new favorite light.
