Description
The Amaran F22x – V-mount is a 60 by 60 cm flexible light mat that is a great alternative to heavy LED panels enclosed in large housings. It is the ideal choice for working in tight and hard-to-reach areas. The unit is 5 mm thick and weighs just 0.8 kg. You will install it anywhere with tape, Velcro or zip ties. The expandable X-Frame mount will also allow you to use the included light modifiers (softbox and grid), as well as connect the flash to professional tripods and ‘magic arm’ mounts. The maximum output of the lamp is up to 200 watts. The device offers adjustable colour temperature (2500 K – 7500 K) and a set of 9 predefined special effects.

Versatile and ultra-mobile
There are film sets where limited space makes working with light significantly more difficult. This is when the Amaran F22x LED lamp comes into action! You can install the 60 cm by 60 cm flexible light mat wherever there is no room for large tripods. Stick it to the ceiling with tape, use cable ties, attach it with clamps at a convenient location or combine it with “magic arm” holders. At 5 mm thick and 0.8 kg in weight, it will give you the ultra-mobility that traditional LED panels enclosed in heavy housings do not offer.
Universal mounting system
Included with the LED Amaran F22x – V-mount you will find a foldable X-Frame bracket, which will ensure that the panel is sufficiently rigid when working with light modifiers or tripods. You will successfully combine it with popular mounting studs, as well as with an articulated adapter, which will allow you to direct the light at the right angle.
Ideally diffused light
Included with the LED Amaran F22x – V-mount you will find modifiers to soften the light, disperse harsh shadows and direct the beam accordingly if necessary. You can use one or two diffusing fabrics (-0.5 EV and -2.5 EV) or reach for the “honeycomb” (grid 45°). Thanks to Velcro fasteners you can conveniently install each modifier inside the softbox.
Adjustable light colour temperature
When you use the Amaran LED lamp F22x – V-mount, with just a turn of the dial or a few clicks on the mobile app, you can quickly set the right light colour temperature, ranging from 2500 K to 7500 K. Do you want to create a pleasant focal camping atmosphere? Or do you want your shot to emphasise the coolness of a cloudy day? Thanks to the wide adjustment range, you will not only find it easier to match colours, but you will also learn to think creatively about warm and cool colours in film and photography!
Impressive light output and quality
The innovative light mat is not only ultra-mobile and convenient to install, but also offers exceptional performance. The maximum output power here is as high as 200 watts. The light intensity without additional modifiers is a maximum of 25030 lux (at a distance of 0.5 m). The device is distinguished by the high quality of the modern LEDs. This is best confirmed by indicators such as CRI: ≥95, TLCI: ≥98, CQS: ≥96, SSI (Tungsten): ≥81 and SSI (D56): ≥72.
Hollywood effects
Among the innovations that the Amaran F22x LED lamp – V-mount offers, there is no shortage of a set of unique special effects. You can enjoy simulations such as paparazzi, thunderstorm, TV, fire, strobe, explosion, broken bulb, pulsation and fireworks. You customise the effects by changing individual parameters from the built-in screen or the Sidus Link app.
Ergonomic controller
The included external Control Box controller to control the lamp weighs just 1.2 kg. The slim box is sure to appeal to those who appreciate minimalism and ergonomics. It features a bright OLED display and easy-to-use buttons and dials. On its casing, you will find a quick-mount plate with which you can connect the Lighting Clamp. There is also a metal cord allowing you to safely hang the controller in the desired location.
LIGHTING CLAMP HANDLE MUST be purchased separately.
Multiple power ways
Included with the Amaran F22x – V-mount LED light you will find a traditional power supply and a set of necessary cables. If you are planning to shoot in locations where there is no access to electrical sockets, nothing lost! You can connect an external rechargeable battery to the unit (to be purchased separately). The V-mount socket, which you will find on the controller, will keep things tidy on set and avoid unnecessary cable clutter. You will not only connect compatible batteries to it, but also the power supply, which is equipped with a suitable mounting plate.
Sidus Link application
The LED Amaran F22x – V-mount lamp is compatible with the Sidus Mesh system, which allows remote control via the Sidus Link app. You download it completely free from Google Play, App Store, Mi App Store or Huawei App Gallery. The app allows you to control a single light source as well as an entire setup of lighting equipment from the Aputure and Amaran brands. The remote control range is up to 80 metres!
DMX system support
On the case of the Control Box controller you will find a USB-C port, which will enable you to connect the device to a DMX512 control system using a suitable adapter. If you are using a control console to manage your lighting and stage effects, the Amaran F22x LED lamp – V-mount will be an excellent addition to such a set-up.
USB-C / DMX adapter MUST be purchased separately.
4 adjustment curves
Every film set is different. With the Amaran F22x – V-mount lamp, far fewer variables can surprise you! To ensure that you can work comfortably in different conditions, you can choose from 4 lighting power control curves:
- linear,
- exponential,
- logarithmic,
- S-curve,
These will allow you to adapt the lamp behaviour to your individual working style and current requirements.
Safe transport
Convenient transport and safe storage of the lamp and accessories is made possible by the handy carrying case included in the kit. The compartments will make removing and stowing the equipment even more convenient. The case is covered with a pleasant-to-touch material. Its thickness is only 10.5 cm, so that the ultra-mobile Amaran F22x – V-mount lamp will not take up much space in transport.
