These videos your putting out are invaluable and personally have really helped me make buying decisions lately. Aputure in particular has made a lot of money from me seeing your in depth reviews (a whole lighting kit really). What I love about them is how you clearly have a lot of real world experience as a pro and go into why you have the impressions you do from that perspective. The more experience I get, the more I realize how few have this experience and know how to convey information the way you do and are putting it out publicly. Just wanted to say thanks.
Honestly, you are a hero in the space. Thank you!
Just found your channel...and wow!! Your reviews are honest, and extremely detailed. Very much appreciated.
Thanks for doing all this work and to share all the measured specs.
your videos are AMAZING, truly helpful from a professional working on the industry which really knows what he is talking about!!
aputure really have an amazing light engine for their RGB light. Can't wait to see the nova light panel comes out.
My thoughts exactly
@@gaffergear i bought a power bank with a 2.4a but i couldnt power this to 100 percent only 80% which one do you have?
Woah! Now this is what I call a review
Really Informative, its all there in this one video.
So much detail!! Thank you for this video! Loving my Aputure MC.
Great review Andrew! Been looking at these mini lights for a while. Looks like this is a good choice! Thx Mate, Cheers 🍻
Amazing Walkthrough of this light! Keep up the great vids mate :)
As always super useful review! Great little light are definitely in my list!
This channel it’s just awesome! So much learning! Thanks mate
Thanks for this Andrew. I actually just purchased one of these and am pretty excited by it. The magnets are very useful, and clients are impressed with its versatility. It's "the tiny light that can". Cheers.
Thanks for proving so much info and real world advice ❤️
My next mini light system for sure! You gave me the final info I was looking for! 🙂🙏🏾
Thanks for all of your help, you should deserve many more subscribers
They really are little workhorses. I put one in a wood stove on fire FX for a recent horror short I gaffed. Looked absolutely perfect. Thanks so much for your work on this channel, I learn something every video. It’s amazing to have a real world gaffer sharing all this knowledge that we usually have to get from years of firsthand experience. Looking forward to the next video. Also, here’s to hoping Aputures upcoming Nova RGB Panel has similar color scores.
This is the most informative video on the Aputure MC that I've seen, great work! FYI @ 17:22 you said 5498K but it actually reads 5489K. No biggie just a heads up.
Excellent info.. very helpful, thanks
Love this little light, very helpful as a practical on almost every shoot. Really nothing to complain about, there are tons of other options when it comes to output
Really impressive lights.
Another great release! I’ve been using the MC frequently over the past few months as a “practical”. Just pull the existing bulb out and pop in the MC. Plus with the app you can dial it in from camera. One of the things I really like about using the MC in lamps is the directionality - so I don’t get the hot spots on the wall. Love these lights! I just wish the case was already available.
Great content!
Hey Andrew, the review is amazing as usual. Can you make a comparison between Aputure Mc and Nanlite PavoTube II 6C. People wanna see that for sure. Keep rocking!
Thanks so much
Impressive little light!
most dominant bulb killer ever.
i waiting two months to receive, but very satisfied.
Great video as always..
But based on your experience do you think if someone invest on multiple units of this MC light and attached it together on iron tube can it give more power and versatility than buying light like (Nanlite Pavotube 15 or 30c)? of course the tube shape of Nanlite Pavotube will give advantage if you want it to be on the shoot.
Thanks
Why not, especially if you are buying the MC 12 kit they have coming
@@gaffergear thank you..
Should you not be measuring the cct variation in mired?
Maybe it's just me but the feature I need more than anything in all these little compact LEDs is the ability to dial in colour temp AND tint. Whenever you want to balance to the ambient light in most office situations it's usually 3400-4000k + 15g or between and 1/8 and 1/4 green. For me if I have to carry a pack of little green gels to stick on the front, it defeats the purpose. Does no-one else have this issue? Other than that, they look awesome.
It's a feature I would love to have up my sleve too.
Hopefully this comes in a firmware update as it seems to have the processing power and definitely has the LED capability.
At present if I need a hue match I'm using the colour picker and white paper. It's a pain but it works.
My Luxli Viola 2 led have the exact same issue.
If you aren't already planning on reviewing the aputure 300X? ive seen other reviews but youre opinion and judgement matters much more to me than a youtuber who got the light for free and is making a video for said light as payment.. if you have time im sure it'd be a hit!
Arrived for testing and review last week, if I get time it should be the next episode
Gaffer & Gear wonderful! Hope you’re doing well during this crazy corona stuff! Best of luck to you friend!
Will you be reviewing the Astera hydrapanel?
Yes
Hi! What specs of a powerbank do you recommend so I can use the MC while charging?
Power bank technology changes faster than I can keep track of, mine are already superseded. Basically get the highest capacity you can afford, and make sure it has output 2 or 2.5A outlets (not 1A like the cheaper units). so it the power back can output more power than the MC uses you wont have a problem.
Alright. Thank you very much!
what is apps name so i can download the apps
obvious? can you run them for ever if thy are plugged into the wall?
I think so,
