Aputure MC Reviews

Good but a few things making them not great

By Ben
Rated 3 out of 5

I have had the 4 light kit for a few years now and mostly use them for video production. There's a few ways this item falls short, I'll start with those: The case is pretty heavy and requires a big power supply with proprietary connector to charge it that comes with it's own separate zipper bag. Would be nice if the case held all the parts and didn't need TWO things to carry this kit. The lights also charge slowly in the case. The lights are nice, but wish they came with a magnetic stand of some sort or had magnets on more than one side. The controls are a bit wonky to use and takes awhile to figure out. It would have been great if the lights could use external batteries (like a go pro style battery or something similar). Because they don't you, have to carry-on these lights and can't check them in luggage. Also with the four lights, I've noticed as they age, they are discharging at different rates. Some have less battery life than others. The Good: They are much brighter than you'd expect! The included diffusion (doesn't come with 4) is pretty good, but wish there was a 1/2 diffused version. I use these as on-camera lights often for events. I even use them when taking stills at events. I get lots of compliments from attendees how it's preferred over a on-camera flash! Tip: you could magnetically attach a few to a metal plate and use a magic arm with clamps to make one large panel light in a pinch. :-)

It's just the best
