Yes, the STORM 80c 3-Light Kit includes three D-Tap to 5.5mm barrel locking cables to power the lights off of popular camera and lighting batteries. The yoke mount for the AC power supply is a V-Mount, the same as used for V-Mount batteries, so a V-Mount battery can be attached directly to the light and connected by the included cables. There is also a handheld bracket, which is a post that screws into the bottom of the light and includes a V-Mount at the base for attaching a battery. The yoke on the STORM 80c is removable, making this handheld bracket convenient moving around in small spaces. The STORM 80c can also be powered using the USB-C port. Please make sure your batteries have sufficient power output capabilities to handle the 100w draw of the light.

The STORM 80c 3-Light Kit comes complete in a rolling hard shell case which measures 29.4 x 28.6 x 59.3 cm (27.3 x 11.3 x 23.4 in). This is the same case Aputure uses for the Nova P600c. Fully loaded with all the items in the kit, the total weight is 24.4kg (53.78lbs). The case includes a retractable handle and wheels for rolling.

Light stands can be quite large, which would have required a much bigger case. Many people already have stands or another way to store them, such as in a tripod case. Aputure does include three clamps and mounting arms in the kit for rigging the lights without stands.
