Product Overview

Designed for filmmakers and creators in need of advanced control, the Aputure MC Pro RGB LED Light Panel offers expanded connectivity options, an IP65 rating, and RGBWW capability. This Pro version utilises 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 colour temperature range from 2000 to 10,000K and a tighter beam spread of 45° for increased intensity. This multifunction light allows you to add colour to your productions and can be used for in-camera practical effects or as a portable fill or accent light. You can control it onboard with a TFT colour 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. The MC Pro's USB-rechargeable battery lasts up to two hours at maximum output and quickly recharges in 90 minutes via its USB-C port. This 5W mini panel can be placed and operated virtually anywhere or hidden in small spaces. It easily fits in the palm of your hand and attaches to various metal objects via its built-in magnets. Additionally, a 1/4"-20 thread allows you to utilise other mounting gear, such as the included cold shoe ball head, to mount the light directly on your camera, cage, or other rigs. A carry bag is also included to store and transport your light.
