Product Information

Full details

The Aputure MC 4-Light Travel Kit is designed for traveling videographers who need a compact yet powerful lighting solution. Its key benefit is the extreme portability and versatility of four credit-card-sized RGBWW LED lights that fit into a slim, backpack-friendly charging case. A potential caveat is that while small, the individual lights may require strategic placement for broad illumination.

FAQs

How long does the battery last on a single Aputure MC light?

Battery life varies based on brightness and mode. Typically, a single MC light can last from 2 hours at full brightness to over 5 hours at lower settings.

Can I control the lights individually through the app?

Yes, the Sidus Link app allows for individual control of each light as well as group control for simultaneous adjustments.

What is the charging time for the lights in the case?

The charging case provides wireless charging. A full charge for all four lights typically takes around 2-3 hours, depending on their initial battery level.

What is the maximum range for Sidus Link app control?

The effective range for Sidus Link app control via Bluetooth is typically around 30-50 meters (100-165 feet), depending on environmental factors. Sidus Mesh can extend this range when multiple lights are networked.

Do the lights come with any mounting accessories?

The kit includes the charging case. The lights themselves have built-in magnetic backs and 1/4"-20 female threads for mounting.

Can I use the lights while they are charging?

Yes, you can use the Aputure MC lights while they are connected to the charging case and powered, though charging will be slower.

Troubleshooting

Lights not turning on

Ensure the lights are sufficiently charged in the case. Check that the charging case is properly connected to a power source.

Sidus Link app not connecting to lights

Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Ensure the lights are within range of your phone and that the Sidus Mesh network is functioning correctly. Try closing and reopening the app.

Inconsistent color output

Perform a factory reset on the affected light(s) through the Sidus Link app or device interface. Ensure all lights are set to the same mode and parameters.

Charging case not charging lights

Confirm the power cable is securely connected to the case and the power outlet. Clean the charging contacts on both the case and the lights.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up, remove the four Aputure MC lights from their charging case. Connect the provided power cable to the charging case and plug it into a power source. The lights will begin charging automatically within the case. To use, remove a light from the case. Basic controls can be accessed directly on the fixture, while advanced settings like HSI, CCT, and FX modes are best controlled via the Sidus Link app.

Compatibility: The lights are compatible with the Sidus Link mobile application, available for iOS and Android devices. Ensure your smartphone has Bluetooth enabled for initial pairing and connection via Sidus Mesh.

Care: Keep the lights clean by wiping them gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Store the lights in the provided charging case when not in use to protect them and ensure they are charged. Regularly check the charging contacts on both the lights and the case for any debris.
