About Aputure MC Open Box

With the Aputure MC RGBWW Mini LED 12-Light Production Kit, photography and videography professionals can achieve unparalleled lighting versatility in a compact and portable package. This meticulously engineered kit is tailored to meet the diverse needs of owner-operators and rental houses, offering unmatched convenience and adaptability. Each of the 12 LED panels is compact, measuring just 2" x 4", and is designed for durability and longevity.

Powered by Aputure's groundbreaking RGBWW technology, these panels enhance traditional RGB lighting with the addition of two white LEDs one balanced at tungsten and the other at daylight. This innovative design ensures superior color quality, boasting impressive CRI and TLCI scores of 96+, along with SSI scores of 84 in tungsten and 74 in daylight. Such high scores guarantee color reproduction that not only meets but exceeds industry standards.

The Aputure MC is Aputure's first RGBWW film light and stands out as the smartest in its class. It offers comprehensive Hue, Saturation, and Intensity (HSI) color control, featuring 360 degrees of hue and 100 levels of saturation adjustment. This allows users to effortlessly reproduce any color. Additionally, the expanded bi-color range of 3200K-6500K, adjustable in 100K increments, provides precise color temperature control to suit any lighting condition.

For further customization, the Aputure MC includes a CCT Mode for fine-tuning white light and an FX Mode with nine built-in lighting effects presets such as Paparazzi, Fireworks, Faulty Bulb, Lightning, TV, Pulsing, Fire, Party, and Cop Car. These presets, combined with adjustable parameters via the Sidus Link app, offer creative flexibility to produce captivating visual effects on demand.

Despite its compact size slightly larger than a credit card and with a thickness of 17mm (11/16 in.) the MC offers versatile placement options. Built-in magnets and a 1/4"-20 screw mount allow for quick and secure placement, making it ideal as an on-camera light or a discreet accent or fill light, all controllable via the app.

The Sidus Link mobile app compatibility ushers in a new era of lighting control. With Sidus Mesh technology, each light in the kit can communicate with the app and other lights, forming a stable network that allows control of up to 100 lights within a 400-meter range. The app's Color Picker feature is particularly innovative, enabling users to capture any color with their phone's camera and have the light reproduce it instantly.

The MC's compatibility with Qi wireless charging protocol and USB-C PD charging ensures these lights are always ready for action. The 12-Light Production Kit includes a custom hardshell wireless charging case with an accessory storage drawer, providing protection, organized storage, and convenient charging for all 12 lights.

The Aputure MC RGBWW Mini LED 12-Light Production Kit is the ultimate lighting tool for productions of any size, offering the freedom to create without the constraints of cables and the limitations of lesser lighting systems. It is a comprehensive lighting solution that promises to elevate the quality and efficiency of any filmmaker's workflow.
