Product Information

Full details

The Aputure MC Pro is a versatile, professional 5W RGBWW mini LED panel designed for creators and filmmakers needing high-quality, portable lighting. Its key benefit is its compact, credit-card-sized form factor combined with advanced professional features like LumenRadio CRMX and IP65 weather resistance, allowing for quick deployment in diverse environments. A potential caveat is its 7W maximum power consumption, which may require careful battery management for extended use at full output.

Troubleshooting

Light will not turn on

Ensure the battery is charged. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. If the issue persists, try charging the unit and attempt to power it on again.

Cannot connect to Sidus Link app

Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Ensure the MC Pro is powered on and within range. Close and reopen the Sidus Link app. If issues continue, try resetting Bluetooth on your phone or restarting the MC Pro.

Wireless DMX control is not working

Confirm the MC Pro is set to receive CRMX signals and that your transmitter is broadcasting on the correct channel/frequency. Check that both devices are within wireless range and powered on. Ensure LumenRadio is enabled in the MC Pro's settings.

Dim or flickering light output

Check the battery level. If low, charge the unit. Ensure no power-saving modes are active. If using DMX control, verify the DMX channel settings and signal integrity.

Color temperature or tint is inaccurate

Recalibrate the light using the Sidus Link app's calibration function. Ensure you are using the correct color mode (CCT, HSI, RGB) and that any applied effects are disabled.
