Product Information
Full details
The Aputure MC Pro Diffuser is for filmmakers and photographers seeking to soften and evenly distribute light from their Aputure MC Pro mini LED light. Its key benefit is creating a smooth, 360-degree spread of light, ideal for on-the-go shooting or when working in confined spaces. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with the MC Pro model.

FAQs
Is this diffuser compatible with the original Aputure MC light?
No, this specific bubble diffuser is designed for the Aputure MC Pro model. The original Aputure MC uses a different diffuser accessory.
How does the bubble shape benefit the light spread?
The bubble shape allows light to emanate outwards in a more uniform, 360-degree pattern compared to flat diffusers, creating a softer and more immersive illumination.
Does the diffuser come with the mounting bracket?
Yes, the MC Pro Bubble Diffuser includes a mounting bracket made of durable aluminum.
What type of mounting points are on the bracket?
The bracket features one 3/8in-16 socket and two 1/4in-20 sockets for versatile mounting options.
Can I use this diffuser outdoors?
Yes, it is lightweight and portable, making it suitable for outdoor use. Ensure it is securely attached to prevent it from being dislodged by wind.
Will this diffuser significantly reduce the light output?
Like all diffusers, it will reduce the intensity of the light somewhat by scattering it. However, the trade-off is a much softer and more flattering quality of light.
Troubleshooting
Diffuser does not fit securely
Ensure you are using it with the correct Aputure MC Pro light model. Check for any obstructions on the light's front bezel.
Light output is still too harsh
The diffuser softens light but does not eliminate all harshness. For maximum softness, increase the distance between the light source and the subject.
Mounting bracket feels loose
Ensure the 1/4in-20 mounting screw connecting the light to the bracket is fully tightened. Ensure the bracket's mounting socket is securely attached to your stand or grip.
