Matt, Great review and also thank you for all that you do on your channel. You always have great and to the point information. It is greatly appreciated. Keep on rocking!

@rsmith02 Год назад

Great review, I'd like to consider adding this to my documentary kit for times when there's no light- at night, back seat of a car, etc.

@ArgoFowl Год назад

Love and use the OG one every single day!

@patrik8911 Год назад

It's funny that two days ago I bought a MC Pro and today I came across your review :) This light is great, in my opinion worth buying.

@chrgans4619 Год назад

Just a quick question because i stumbled about your video editing buyers guide for the mac studio. Will you do a updated version for the mac studio ultra of 2023? You always give such a good buying advice and i'm currious which one you would suggest.

@nightfoxfilms Год назад

I've got a pair of these and they are fantastic lights.

@BrandonLuckain Год назад

I was excited for this light as well but as an owner of the Torch 300 and the Comer Radiance version, the brightness was a big disappointment for me when looking at specs and reviews. Guess I’ll have to buy one to compare and see how it works for my use!

@JackyLi Год назад

I might just grab 1 or 2 of these after watching your review

@SethDunlap Год назад

You sold me! Now I want 4!

@AnthonyGugliotta Год назад

Interesting use case. I own one, but never considered it for weddings.

@MarcEstrella Год назад

Cromer makes that torch light and sells it under a different name at B&H . I just bought it today for 119 on sale . Me and my wedding film making peers use it :)

@likemindscreative Год назад

I use them and I love them. They’re also magnetized so you can stick them in all kinds of unusual places. The price is a bit steep though.

@jasonguidomartinez9205 Год назад

I am looking for a good filler light to mount on my camera setup (gimbal, monopod, tripod, on camera to use handheld), having already 2 60X. I came across the Aputure MX, which is a small credit card sized bicolor light, which has great brightness considering its size, but it has very short battery life (about 30 minutes at full power, around 1.5 hr typical use), i was wondering if the Al-F7 was a better choice in my case.

@dakotabuttrey Год назад

You can actually get the Torch still, Comer sells the design as the Comer Radiance 360. Not sure about the build quality/longevity but I just picked one up and it works great. Those MC Pros are really great, the Sidus app is a life saver.

@whoismatt Год назад

Good ole comer to the rescue. Thanks for letting me know!

@dakotabuttrey Год назад

@@whoismatt I will say, based off the original MC... the Comers build quality is not amazing and 99% flimsy feeling plastic. I never got to own the OG Torch so I have no way to compare it haha. It does go on sale for $150 and comes with a big L-Series so it's not too bad of a deal.

@Ale21620 Год назад

I actually have the Torch and the Comer and both lights are very similar. Now I use both for my weddings. My biggest problem with aperture is the app, everytime I want to turn on and off the light I will have to go to the app and connect and so on. This other two lights come with a very useful remote control.

@TheFPSChannel Год назад

I love the red button. Is that the power button? That is a design element I’d like to see more of. So many designs make it so hard to find the buttons (especially in the dark). 👏 👏 👏

@BrandonLuckain 7 месяцев назад

Would love to see a comparison with the new Zhiyun M20c!

@AP0110Music Год назад

LED Panel light are always underwhelming in bigger spaces. Im surprised you have not reviewed the Zhiyun Molus G60 yet! It has been a backlighting gamechanger!

@MiloCosemans 7 месяцев назад

We've designed an adaptor for the MC-Pro to be able to get used with the Rosco DOT diffusor in case you're interested in having a look at it.

@my_thic 8 месяцев назад

My friend! Please tell me, how bowens attachment, that makes such great lines in your back, called? :)

@larrylaffer4304 16 дней назад

I am new to lighting and have just ordered the Amaran 150c and 300c. I am considering using the MC Pro as a hair light or fill light. Will it work well for creating a nice hair light?

@benjaminswift265 11 месяцев назад

Great review, really helpful! Does anyone know what the difference is between the Aputure MC ($72) and the MC Pro ($200)?

@ezrarichardson279 6 месяцев назад

Brightness, how focused the beam is, the battery life, the accessories and color accuracy.

@zalex4971 Год назад

I prefer Aputure MT Pro for the wedding. The best portable light in my opinion.

@stowgood Год назад

Is it actually 4x brighter than the original? I have heard conflicting things like it's only brighter at one specific temperature etc. I have the original and love it.

@whoismatt Год назад

🤷‍♂️ definitely looks brighter to me. I didn’t do a scientific 4x test though

@WeShootFilms Год назад

Sorry I cant see spending 200 for such a small light but great review as always

You can do that but I don’t recommend mounting a light on your camera. Too video-camera-ish

Soooo we're just going to skip the Zhiyun Fiveray M40? Wym gap in the market?

@whoismatt Год назад

Haven’t tried one yet. I need to get it :)

@paulgero Год назад

Matt it is a nice light. But no app control and only bi color. Not as many mounting options too. For $100 it is good.

@whoismatt Год назад

@@paulgero sounds like a good deal for $100 but that Sidus link app and RGB are a pretty big upgrade for sure.

@jpemile Год назад

@@paulgero It is more comparable to the Core SWX TorchLED that he mentioned in the video in terms of remote control and color range but the M40 has the most flexible mounting system of the bunch for sure.

@paulgero Год назад

@@jpemile I think that the magnetic mounting options on the aputure pro give it the nod for mounting options imo. The m40 has that bracket arm with a 1/4-20.

@matthewjay4098 Год назад

does it pop and crackle when it warms up

@whoismatt Год назад

Nope

@dakotabuttrey Год назад

You gotta get the magnetic Rice Crispy filter first to get that Snap Crackle Pop.

@benjamin.kelley Год назад

Honestly, I was never impressed with the Core SWX Torch LED lights. Yes they're helpful, but not for lighting dance floors or toasts. Two Aputure 60x lights are your best bet.

@donnieyen4 7 месяцев назад

Never heard about the dmg dash ? It’s much better quality and Aputure just totally copy it.

@midnorthmedia8136 9 месяцев назад

I am disappointed with this light. I used it to shoot in a night club and the modifiers fell off multiple times as I was moving around the venue. Magnets not strong enough.

@hasanrashid610 Год назад

Godox C5R is 79$ on BH and i found it in local shop 65$ . It has all these features except honeycomb grid. I totally agree that 99$ is max price on this thing.

@A1Bokeh 8 месяцев назад

Maybe even 150

@hasanrashid610 Год назад

It's difficult to believe that this is not a sponsorship. Specially when you said that the price is good and it's worth it. This thing should not worth more than 65$ . Good luck

@abakahcoffie Год назад

The zhiyun fiveray m40 is a better deal

@hasanrashid610 Год назад

@@abakahcoffie Lume Cube Panel Go RGB costs less than half the price and it has built in screen. I'm not saying its bad product. It's just unreasonably overpriced.

@whoismatt Год назад

If you can find an RGB led light with an iOS app and honeycomb grid for $65 I would absolutely love to review it, sounds like a killer deal.

@hasanrashid610 Год назад

@@whoismatt Well this is all about the market. If you compare this product with Colbor CL60R RGB with the same price its just too expensive. The build quality the technology and versatile features in the colbor is on another level. I simply don't like to pay for something doesn't worth it. That's why if i compare to this product it's should be 65$ maybe 100 at max . I wrote in previous reply about Lume Cube Go RGB 89$ that has these features with LCD screen . We need new products to be better and cheaper as a customer. Im not reviewing this as a dealer or sell manager. Best wishes.
