Full day ahead of us today here at the Aputure Repair Shop. 🔧 New arrivals from across the country are in need of some serious refurbishing. As far as the dome goes -- let's just say I'll be wearing safety goggles as I reassess the rod flexibility. #shoptalk #repairshop

You drop your light off the back of your pickup at 45mph...what do you check to see if it broke first? #repairshop #aputure

Another case of MAJOR drop damage being remedied here. Needed a full casing replacement for this fixture. I also replaced the old driver board by request, gave it an upgrade. The COB also needed a tune-up. #timelapse #TransformationTuesday #TuesdayTips

Needing to get up close & personal with this creature Looks like we're going to be giving this 300d back its dignity after falling off a grip truck last week #repairshop #aputure

This 300d control box looks quite a bit different when it's in pieces Taking a peek inside today to see how we can get her fired-up again #donttrythisathome #repairshop

PSA: No, you should not use your COB protective caps as diffusion That is not what they are designed for -- and this is what will happen to your light However, if this does happen to you, send your light into the shop and we will make sure you are taken care of #fridaymorning

Performing another "procedure" this afternoon on another "patient" Upon closer analysis of the internal situation -- I'd say it's time to operate #MondayMotivaton #repairshop

Everyday is #TransformationTuesday at the Aputure LA Repair Shop Taking apart this 300d II which required a bit of soldering action FUN FACT: this is not a time lapse - we just work that fast

Getting back into the 300d units today -- after taking a nasty fall, this guy needs some body work and a new COB Going to be replacing the fans too, just for good measure Expect to have this one back on set by lunchtime #repairshop #thursdayvibes

Got the new testing station up and running Bring your sunglasses #repairshop #lighting
