Product Information

Full details

A potential caveat is that managing 12 individual lights might require a structured workflow for larger setups.

FAQs

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

Battery life varies depending on the brightness and color settings. At full brightness, expect approximately 1.5 hours. At lower brightness levels, it can last significantly longer, up to 10-12 hours or more.

Can I control the lights individually, or only as a group?

Yes, the Sidus Link app allows for individual control of each of the 12 lights, as well as group control and saving of presets for different lighting setups.

What is the color temperature range for the CCT mode?

The Aputure MC lights offer a CCT range from 2000K (warm tungsten) to 10000K (cool daylight).

Does the charging case require a specific type of power outlet?

The charging case typically uses a standard AC power input (e.g., IEC C13 connector), requiring a compatible wall outlet for your region.

Can I use the lights while they are charging in the case?

No, the lights must be removed from the charging case to be used. The case is designed for simultaneous charging and storage.

What is Sidus Mesh technology?

Sidus Mesh is Aputure's proprietary wireless communication technology that allows multiple lights to connect and communicate with each other, creating a stable network for extended range and control, especially with many fixtures.

Is the kit suitable for outdoor use?

While the lights are durable, they are not rated as weatherproof. It is recommended to use them in dry conditions or protect them from rain and extreme elements.

Troubleshooting

Lights not charging in the case

Ensure the charging case is properly connected to a power source. Verify that the lights are seated correctly in their respective slots. Check the charging port on the case for any obstructions.

Sidus Link app cannot connect to lights

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your control device. Make sure the lights are powered on. Try closing and reopening the Sidus Link app. If the issue persists, try power cycling the lights and your control device.

Inconsistent color output between lights

Ensure all lights are set to the same color mode (HSI or CCT) and parameters. Check for firmware updates for the lights via the Sidus Link app, as updates can improve color consistency. Recalibrate lights if the option is available within the app.

Lights not responding to controls

Check the battery level of the individual light. If using the app, ensure the connection is stable. Try resetting the specific light by holding down its power button for an extended period (refer to manual for exact procedure if applicable).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly portable and compact for easy travel and placement.
  • Versatile full-color RGBWW capability for creative lighting.
  • Simultaneous charging of all 12 lights simplifies power management.
  • Sidus Mesh and App control offer robust wireless operation.
  • Can be used as individual lights or part of a larger, interconnected system.

Cons

  • Managing 12 individual lights may require organizational effort.
  • Battery life on individual lights might be a limitation for extended shoots without charging access.
  • The charging case requires a power connection to charge the lights.
  • The small size means output per light is moderate, requiring multiple units for significant illumination.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To begin, unpack the 12 Aputure MC lights and the charging case. Connect the provided power cable to the charging case and plug it into a suitable power outlet. Place the MC lights into their designated slots within the case; they will begin to charge wirelessly. To use the lights, remove them from the case. Basic controls for brightness, CCT, and HSI are available directly on the fixture. For advanced control, download the Sidus Link app (available on iOS and Android) and pair your device with the lights, ensuring Bluetooth is enabled on your control device.

Compatibility: The lights are compatible with the Sidus Link App via Bluetooth and Sidus Mesh. They can be controlled with standard DMX protocols when integrated into a larger Sidus Mesh network. Each light has a standard 1/4"-20 mounting thread for attaching to light stands or grip equipment.

Care: Keep the lights and charging case clean using a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the charging contacts on the lights and inside the case are free from dust and debris to maintain optimal charging performance. Store the lights in the provided case when not in use to protect them from damage and ensure they are ready for the next charge.
