Great light
Hands down worth every penny. The light is beyond bright for a light this size, and each mode starts at 50%, which you can change by the wheel on the side.
It comes with the soft gel, a charging cord, a cool caring case with a clip to hold on to your camera bag. The thing last for ever, i have used it almost every day and have had it for a month and still have not had to charge it, i am about 25% left off the original charge out of the box. Great for streaming key light or background ambient light.
Multiple different mods including FX which you can have Fireworks, fire place, cop car, lightning, and more. As well as a Blue Tooth mode, but i have not played with that so far, i set my mode or color and leave it for the shoot but having a BT remote on your phone can come in handy.

Punches above it's weight. Good value.
I used it on a production that filmed at night and this little guy punched above its weight. Impressive amount of light output. Doesn't seem to suffer from "LED color temperature" problems. Obviously it isn't going to match thousands of dollars of lighting equipment or a full studio setup, but it is excellent for what it is at a very good price.
The color hue stuff is interesting, I haven't had much use for it but the colors are pretty bright and don't seem washed out. Again, limited experience with those. The effects seem like a gimmick, but having them doesn't take away from anything else.

One hell of a light.
This thing packs a punch and you better hope that it’s on <10% intensity when you turn it on. Especially for its form factor, you could fit it just about anywhere so there’s no reason to leave it behind anymore. Build quality is impressive but I worry for the screen where the LED’s are since it’s plastic and prone to scratches. The magnet on the back proves to be a lot more useful than I thought it would be. It’s not a super strong magnet but it does the job (+ bonus they add a 3M adhesive to place it anywhere)

Great RGB lights..grouped, or on their own!
Honestly for the cost of these guys and being able to create individual profiles of grouped lighting, I cannot think of a better setup.
No, the battery life isn’t above 90 minutes, but being able to keep them on charge via USB-C makes them an easy addition.
To be honest, whether you use one or 10, it is truly a great value.
I love that they are magnetic and can adhere to many objects without a mount.
Sort of a “go to” when you need adjustable lighting from the app.
If there is one negative about my purchase, it would be that I didn’t pickup more than two of them.
Very nice design Aputure!

Awesome little versatile light, great extended warranty through Pergear specifically!
Awesome, little, magnetic, easy to use, covers the basic as a small product light, on camera eye light, or practical lighting for in a scene. What makes it amazing though, is the app! This little guy is super useful in almost any project once you get the hang of the app and start thinking outside of what you can light vs how you light it! On top of that, Pergear supplied mine through amazon and they offer an extended warranty to sweeten the deal and give you a little extra peace of mind :)

The first LED light is easy and convenient
Purchased at Amazon in the United States
Since it is imported, the instructions are in English and Chinese.
However, it is not difficult, and once pairing is completed, it becomes an easy-to-use companion.
Pairing is a little quirky, so start the app and add it by creating a scene. If you have multiple terminals, you can register multiple terminals here and use them for each group.
It's my first LED light, but I didn't know it was so convenient. It's convenient to carry around, so it's a great companion for shooting.
The color temperature and color settings can be easily controlled from the app, and it is also interesting to be able to select the flash pattern.
I am happy with the extra cold shoe mount.

Ok, I love this light.
I do. I really love this light. Should it be $90? No. Heck no. Lol. Would I pay it again, though? Yeah, because the other brands aren’t even in the same ballpark. This thing is one of my absolute favorite little lights. I like the ability to have a nice dim little ambiance light when streaming, as well as the ability to unleash the Sun if I need to. I literally used it to light up my backyard at night last week in a pinch. Lol. Small, versatile, powerful, and costly. But yes, I want more.

Awesome product
I bought a Lume cube first before I found out about this. The MC is miles better for a few dollars more. Awesome features and very versatile. The iOS version of the app works much better than android. Fortunately, I have both, so I'm fine in that department. I eventually got a second MC and it's awesome to control both remotely with the app. I'll definitely get more Aputure products in the future

Best Bang for the Buck. So Versatile.
Hey all.
I got two of these after watching reviews on Youtuve about how good of a steal they are. Best bang for your buck.
I was very excited to open these up and I was not disappointed as I got the light, 2 adhesive stickers for walls, charger, diffuser, and a freaking case. Then this bad boy can be used via bluetooth and your phone. So very versatile. So very affordable, so VERY good.
Also, I got mine earlier than expected. I did get a refund for my order the first time around, but that was my bad, not customer support. They emailed me about if I wanted to cancel it or get it earlier. Then after a conversation I got it again and early.
A definite must for anyone who wants to throw in neato accents, fills, or rim light in their videos.
