Aputure MC PRO Overview

From Manufacturer

Designed for filmmakers and creators in need of advanced control, the MC Pro RGB LED Light Panel from Aputure offers expanded connectivity options, an IP65 rating, and RGBWW capability. This Pro version utilizes a similar compact, pocket-sized form factor to the brand's original MC fixture while bringing professional functionalities. With an upgraded optical design and LED chipset, the MC Pro has an impressive color temperature range from 2000 to 10,000K and a tighter beam spread of 45° for increased intensity.

You can control it onboard with a TFT color display, remotely using the Sidus Link app, or via advanced wired and wireless methods, including DMX/RDM and LumenRadio CRMX.

With a rugged construction and a practical design, this 4.2 x 2.7" fixture is rated IP65 for weather resistance, so you can safely use it outdoors or in wet weather.

Aputure MC PRO Reviews

Great Portable light

By Daniel
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-26

I couldn’t believe how bright it was for how small. I needed something that was weather resistant for my wildlife documentary work, and this light blew it out of the park. I love the size, the magnet ability, the Sidus link ease of use, and the professional color accurate light it gives. All around a great light for run and gun shoots and more!!! Highly recommend!

Can you charge the light while you use it to go past its battery life?
Asked by: Jonathan
The Aputure MC Pro RGB LED Light Panel may be charged while it is powered on. That being said, page 6 of the Aputure MC Pro RGB LED Light Panel's instruction manual states that the charging rate will slow down when the light is powered on. They recommend to turn the light off for optimal charging.

Can you keep the case continuously plugged in? Or will that shorten the life of the case and the lights?

The Aputure MC Pro RGB LED Light Panel (Production 8-Light Kit) can be plugged in continuously, and the lights can be charged as needed. It is a good practice to run lights to full depletion a couple times a year and let them fully recharge.
