Killer light

This little light is amazing. I used them for a still portrait set up in a living room (-4 from BDE) with a key, fill and back light set up and it rocked. Then I mounted it on my SmallRig set up with my Canon C70 and killed an editorial biopic. Next step is getting in a pool for a Speedo add to take advantage for water proof shoot.

A Great Tool

This light is compact, rugged, well-built, has nice controls and puts out a lot of light for its size. It's a great tool and I hope to add a couple more to my lighting kit.

Super handy little light

Very handy, well thought out, surprisingly bright little light! I love all of the little touches like the precut gels, silicone diffusion, etc.

Nice features, well built, but...

Well built and promising features, but… The slick product advertising stated a battery life of 24hrs. On medium brightness we could only squeeze out 2 hours before recharging needed. Our VitoPal R2 lasts twice as long at full power. Could have been a faulty unit or simply shady advertisement. Returned.

Really surprised by the quantity of light that these provide. Hold a charge well. Just all around, I’m really pleased with this light.

Powerful, concealable, incredible color

Well constructed, easy to use. Light bar doubles as battery life and brightness indicator. Green is battery life (shown in pic), blue is brightness intensity. The 5 lighting effects are actually surprisingly decent for such a small light and I’m sure will find some great uses. The booster button is awesome! I could go on and on, but the most stunning aspect of the light is that such a small, compact, well built light is so bright and has such impressive color quality. I bring it everywhere with me. But it, you won’t regret it!

They’re a must have

I was never into these smaller lights because I assumed they were just hype. During the Aputure watch party I realized their potential and decided to go for it. I have 2 and they are bright! They are dimmable and come with various diffuser attachments that work great. Very good for backlighting and can be used as key lights for creative looks.

Small, indestructible, quality light

Bought two of these to add to my growing kit. Gives small, flexible option in lighting. Built like a tank. Very bright. Waterproof. Includes nice diffuser and some color correction gels.

Aputure AL-MW is my new go to constant light.

It is extremely well built and super easy to use. It is very bright for its size as well. I do wish I could change the color temperature on the device itself rather than using gels. Very compact though and now I use it more than my Neo.

Outstanding

I picked up my first Aputure light just four months ago and instantly became a huge fan. The quality of the light that their lights output is very nice and this small, portable, waterproof light is no exception. It comes with everything you need for daylight or tungsten lighting, as well as two different diffusers. It's crazy bright up close and has a decent throw for something so small. Highly recommended.

Super bright, light-weight LED light for camcorder

This compact, all-weather, well-constructed light is extremely potent, with the ability to dial down the intensity for different types of shooting scenarios. Features a built-in Lion battery that provides up to 8 hours of performance; changes using the included USB-C cable. Includes diffuser and five filters that snap easily onto the front of the light. Constructed of aluminum, which also serves as a heat-sink

Packs a punch in a small package

Tiny and versatile light, I love that it’s waterproof and I don’t have to worry about it getting banged up here and there. I’m pretty happy that’s it’s also USB-C to charge and not micro-USB or some other older connector.

ALMW

Perfect Color Fidelity.

The AL-MW follows Aputure’s long tradition of creating lights with impeccable color renditioning, boasting an incredible CRI and TLCI rating of 95+.
