District Digital Creatives • October 23, 2019
We are fans of the Aputure 300D Mark II and 120D Mark II, and today Aputure is launching the Aputure MC announced back at NAB 2019.
ANY COLOR. ANY TIME.

WW film light. This light features full HSI
color control and a CCT range of 3200K 6500K, giving you a full range of color
options. On top of that, the built in magnets and footprint roughly the size of a
credit card allow this mini RGB light to fit anywhere you could ever need. The
MC also features USB C PD and Qi wireless charging , so it’s always ready to go .
It is also compatible with Aputure’s own Sidus Mesh technology, so you can use
the Sidus Link app to unlock all of the light’s capabilities The lates t in the line
of M Series lights, the MC is Aputure’s smartest light to date, offering . you
immense flexibility.”
Any Color
The MC is Aputure's
first
light to include full Hue,
Saturation, & Intensity
(HSI) color control. With
360° of hue and 100
levels of saturation
adjustment , you have the
power to convenient ly
reproduce any color all in
the palm of your hand.
Stellar Color Quality
A
s with a ll Aputure lights, the MC prides itself in its color rendition, with CRI
and TLCI scores of 96 ++, and SSI scores of 84 in tungsten and 74 in daylight
This is all accomplished by an underlying technology that reproduces color better
and more accurately than ever before: RGBWW.
Unlike traditional RGB, the Aputure MC isn’t just a light that relies on Red,
Green and Blue LED s . By adding two additional white LEDs one balanced at
tungsten and a second at daylight the Aputure MC is an impossibly small
light that competes with industry giants.
HSI/CCT/FX Lighting Modes
The MC is Aputure's first
mini LED that offe rs fine
CCT control. You can
accurately choose any color
temperature in the MC's
expanded bi color range
between 3200K 6500K, in
increments of 100K,
allowing you to adapt to any
situatio n
In the MC's FX mode
toggle between any of the MC ’s nine built in lighting
effects presets to help you out in a pinch. If you need more control over your
lighting effects, the Sidus Link app will allow you to adjust all of the effect s’
parameters. Lighting effects include: Paparazzi, Fireworks, Faulty bulb,
Lightning, TV, Pulsing, Fire, Party, Cop Car.
Any Place. Any Time.
As part of our M
Series of
mini LEDs, the 130g MC
easily fits in the palm of your
hand. With a footprint only
slightly larger than a credit
card and thickness of only
17mm (11/16 in.), the MC
fit s anywhere . The built in
magnets and 1 4" 20 screw
mount allow you to place and use it in seconds. Use it as an on camera light, or
hide it off screen for an app controllable accent or fill light. With its lightweight,
slim profile, you can tuck several MCs in your camera bag or pockets, so you're
always ready to go.
Sidus Link Control
A Truly Smart Light
As the first
RGBWW light to be compatible with the Sidus L ink mobile app, the
true abilities of both the light and the app are finally unlocked.
Sidus
Mesh
The Sidus Mesh technology built into the MC, the backbone of the Sidus Link
mobile app control, is perhaps the most advanced smart light technology yet.
T he proprietary Sidus Mesh system allows each light to communicate with each
other and with the mobile app simultaneously. Each additional light increases
the integrity of the network. This enables you to control lights within a 400
meter range, without the
need for an external
router, as long as there
are lights at most 80
meters between each
other.
*Given ideal conditions.
Ultimate
Control
With the current Sidus
Mesh technology, you can control up to 100 lights in a
stable network. Control a single light or all of them simultaneously from the
Sidus Link mobile app for iOS and Android . Sidus Link allows for finer control
of the light's HSI, CCT, and FX functions by enabling additional control methods
and parameters.
Color Picker
Color Picker
One of the most groundbreaking features of the Sidus Link app is the Color
Picker function. With the Color Picker, you can simply point your phone's camera
at a color, capture it, and your light will reproduce it instantly . What you see is
what you get. Just grab the color and start shooting!
Wireless Charging
Enjoy Freedom from Cables
The MC is compatible with the
Qi wireless charging protocol
enabling it to be used with the
majority of the wireless chargers
on the market. Simpl y place it
on a wireless charging pad and
the MC will be ready when you
need it
MC
MC Charging Case
Durable, and Convenient Wireless Charging Case
The MC is also availabl
e in a 4 Light Travel Kit and 12 Light Production Kit.
Each of these kits comes with a custom hardshell wireless charging case to
protect and conveniently charge your MCs wherever you go. Make your workflow
as efficient as possible.
The 4
Light Travel Kit was designed for guerilla and travel filmmakers, so you

including not only an accessory drawer built i nto the ca se, but also enough lights
