[STORM Series] Update Firmware via a USB Flash Drive

Instructions on how to update the firmware on each light with a USB flash drive. 

The STORM series lights can be updated with a USB-A flash drive (or with a USB-C flash drive for the Storm 80c). We recommend a flash drive with a 128GB capacity or less, formatted as FAT 32.
To do so, do the following:

  1. Get the firmware for the light you wish to update by browsing to its product page on www.Aputure.com or go directly to the Downloads Page 
    1. Click the Storm Product Family ➡️ Product page, then scroll down to the Downloads section of the light's product page.
    2. The Storm 80c firmware can be found here: https://aputure.com/en-US/products/storm-80c?Title=Default+Title#downloads
    3. The Storm 1000c firmware can be found here: https://aputure.com/en-US/products/storm-1000c?Title=Default+Title#download
  2. Download the latest Zip file for the firmware you are installing. Take note if there are any release notes.
  3. Extract the Zip file onto your computer.
  4. Copy the extracted files onto the root of the USB drive (or USB-C for the 80c). They should not be in any folder.
  5. Insert USB Drive into the STORM light.
  6. From the Main menu, go to System Settings ➡️ Firmware Update.
  7. Select Update Firmware and then "Yes"

The Firmware File should be an unzipped ".bin" file on the root of your USB-C flash drive.

If the normal update process is not working, please try and use the Force USB Update process located here. https://help.aputure.com/en/storm/force-usb-update
