The King Baby light
The BEST mini LED, period. I call these “baby lights”. This one, however, is very bright...and dimmable. The color temperature adjusting is clutch. And the RGB/Presets are major for creators (I shoot music vids & weddings).
The fact it’s magnetic...makes this the best baby light available! Aputure is king of the lights.

So much potential in a small package. I recomend getting 2 as I made the mistake of only buying one and immediately wanting another.

FADE OUT:
That was nice!
I am new user of Aputure's products and Sidus Link. This is where I am coming from: I am in the process of starting a YouTube channel and I have very little experience in photography and in film making. I have been in the never ending research stage for at least a couple of months: Cameras, lens, audio devices and lights.
Aputure products, from the pros' perspectives: "If you can't afford Arri, next best thing would be Aputure for quality, reliability and price."
The Aputure Amaran MC RGBWW was my way to sample my first Aputure product. I wanted to see it, I want to touch it and hold it in my hands - I am very tactile and visual kind of guy and I can tell when I am holding a good tool in my hand.
I have been researching and interested in the Aputure Nova 300c ( www.aputure.com/products/nova-p300c/ ) but it's quite expensive and was not prepared to fork out so much money until I have had the chance to test or sample "something Aputure." So I ordered the Aputure Amaran MC RGBWW (because it is basically a mini Nova 300C when you think about it.)
To tell you the truth I wasn't prepared for this. I though I was buying the pretty little RGB light that I saw in so many Youtubers' review and figured it was going perfect to sample Aputure.
I was instantly pleased with what I was holding in my hands: It looked great, felt great, smelled awesome and tasted even better after kissing it a few times. It turned out it wasn't just a pretty little RGB light, it was the instant I knew I had found a LIGHTNING SYSTEM. You see the thing is, this light is a small fixture that is potentially part of a HUGE system that can be operated remotely with the SIDUS LINK APP.
I had no idea! I thought SIDUS LINK was some sort of remote control for my little light. After a couple of minutes of fiddling around with it (I heard Ed McMahon at the door with the winning prize in his hands for me, and totally free too.)
It only took me a few minutes to realize the potential of Aputure lights and Sidus Link put together. "Holy Molly!" I thought. "This system can actually replace a whole crew of Grips and I don't even have to share any of my pizza with Sidus Link either."
There is great level of collaboration between Aputure lights and Sidus. As an inexperienced DP this means a lot to me as I need all the help I can get. From what I saw and understood from the app, it gives me the ability to remote control every Aputure light in my collection and even save each setting for each fixture or group of fixtures together and operate them as a group or as a stand alone and trigger special effects in between without stopping filming. I can reset, shoot a different scene all together with a totally new scheme of lights and effects and once I am done, I push a couple buttons on the app and find myself right back where I left off before resetting. How amazing is that? This is a huge time saver for me.
I don't know if you guys realize this but this little MC RGB light has totally ripped out about 15 pages of my business plan for my new Youtube Channel I want to start.
Be warn if you buy this little MC light, you might gain a few pounds for over eating all the extra pizza that would be consumed by the crew you won't need anymore.
