Key Features
The Aputure MC is Aputure's first RGBWW film light.HSI color control and a CCT range of 3200K-6500K,CRI and TLCI scores of 96+, and SSI scores of 84 in tungsten and 74 in daylight. With 360¡ã of hue and 100 levels of saturation adjustment.
Unlike traditional RGB, the Aputure MC isn't just a light that relies on Red, Green, and Blue LEDs. By adding two additional white LEDs one balanced at tungsten and a second at daylight the Aputure MC is an impossibly small light that competes with industry giants.
As the first RGBWW light to be compatible with the Sidus Link mobile app, the true abilities of both the light and the app are finally unlocked.
In the MC's FX mode, toggle between any of the MC's nine built-in lighting effects presets to help you out in a pinch. If you need more control over your lighting effects, the Sidus Link app will allow you to adjust all of the effects¡¯ parameters. Lighting effects include: Paparazzi, Fireworks, Faulty bulb, Lightning, TV, Pulsing, Fire, Party, Cop Car.
On top of that, the built-in magnets and footprint roughly the size of a credit card allow this mini RGB light to fit anywhere you could ever need. The MC also features USB-C PD and Qi wireless charging, so it's always ready to go.

- Features nine built-in lighting effects presets in FX mode, including Paparazzi, Fireworks, Lightning, and Cop Car, for creative scene enhancements.
👎 Cons
- The description does not specify the light output in lux or lumens, making it difficult to gauge its brightness for professional use without further information.
- While the built-in magnets offer versatile mounting, they may not be strong enough for all surfaces or applications without additional rigging.
- The size, roughly that of a credit card, might be too small for illuminating larger subjects or spaces as a primary light source.
- Although it has many effects, the nine built-in presets might not cover every specific lighting scenario a user could encounter without app customization.
- The mention of USB-C PD and Qi wireless charging is convenient but the battery life on a single charge is not specified, which is a critical factor for mobile use.
