great accessory for the COB 120 and 300
I recently received a second Aputure COB120d (the new mark2 version) and decided to try these barn doors. The build quality is quite nice (although I hope the rivets holding the door hinges last), the inside of the flags are flocked to reduce reflection. The barn doors come with a removable 30° grid to further shape the light. The doors easily mount to the Bowens system, and I suspect it could be used with other Bowens mount lights. There is also a magnetic filter holder, which is a great idea. Overall, I'm very pleased with this, and just ordered another one for my other COB120 light.
My only disappointment is that Aputure didn't make the case for the COB120 lights large enough to store these barn doors with the light.

Very well made
I ordered two of these and from the moment you pick one up you can tell how very well made they are. The felt on the doors is a nice touch but the magnetic gel holder, honeycomb insert, ability to attach them to the fresnel and more are what really makes this a super well-thought-out product. I did wonder why they didn't use 4 magnets for the gel holder (it uses 2 magnets and 2 groove inserts to hold the 4 corners) but the product seems sooo well-thought-out that I have a feeling there's a good reason I just haven't thought of yet. I'm very happy I got them.

Enabled the adding of colored gels
Used this to mount gels in front of the aperture light. When barn doors are folded closed. It provided protection of the led bulb

Great Barndoors if you own Aputure lights
I wasn't sure about these barn doors given the price, but I went with them since they said they could attach directly to the end of the Aputure Fresnel 2x. I'm so glad I did! These are PERFECT! The Bowens mount means I can use them directly on my 120d ii or on any of my photo strobes. But then I can detach the Bowens mount and instead attach these to the Aputure Fresnel which is exactly what I needed to keep the light from irritating guests (I use my 120d ii for lighting wedding videos).
On top of this, the construction here is absolutely top notch. It's all metal with a flocked interior to avoid shine or flare. I couldn't have asked for better!
Question & Answer
Question :
Does this fit in Godox VL light series?
Answer :
It is a Bowen mount. If the VL lights have a Bowen mount you are in business.
Question :
Do these barn doors fit the Aperture 300x?
Answer :
Yes. They fit all the Bowens Mount Aperture lights and many of the Fesnels for them (Except the 600d)
Question :
Why did this attachment come with shower caps?
Answer :
We were wondering the same thing. They’ve cool but may not be the safest option. We prefer professional gels.
Question :
Is this item fit 300DII?
Answer :
No, it fits like a glove
Question :
Anyone else having trouble fitting this on to the reflector for the 300Dii?
Answer :
No, it fits like a glove
Question :
Is this works for the Amaran 200d?
Answer :
It should. The Amaran 200d has a Bowens mount and Aputure says it is compatible with most of the other Aputure modifiers. The Fresnel modifier is considerably heavier than the barn doors and Aputure says it is compatible with that.
Question :
Will this fit on my light? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b01mz8pfp2/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=utf8&psc=1
Answer :
Yes it will, it is the same Bowen’s mount
