AEOS 2 SmartSoft Box
Designed for use with the AEOS 2 Pro LED light, the AEOS 2 SmartSoft Box allows users to electronically adjust the degree of diffusion, focus and spread across a 1.5-stop range without the need for gels or additional modifiers by using Rotolight’s smartphone app.
The biggest benefit of this feature is that it allows you to judge the lighting effect, in real time, without having to move from your original shooting position in order to make manual adjustments.
