Excellent review; I love how you price each part of the package... it's very entertaining. I've got my MC Pro; I considered the MT Pro, but the MT Pro is considerably down on the brightness, according to Aperture's specs, and I use these little LED panels for food photography, so brightness matters.

MC Pro is 7 watts. MC is 5 watts. There is a bit confusion here as they sometime list output power and sometimes consumed power. Alas, it's pretty clear most of the "4x" bightness is caused by different beam angles (120 vs 45 degrees) and not a 4x difference in actual lumen output. Anther win for the MC Pro is the TFT sceen instead of the burn in prone OLED on the original MC.
@GrenlandUnderVann Жыл бұрын
Battery capacity is listed as 2600 mAh vs 4200 mAh, so is about 1,6 times more powerfull. While power use is about 1,4 times more heavy (7 vs 5 watts).
@storybabble Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comments. Your points are valid. I noticed the 5 watt vs. 7 watt in the specs but decided to just mention the output because the draw amount did seem very relevant to me. The beam angle is tighter and I was going to mention that but I’m prone to forget what I am going to say when the camera turns on.

6:01 Charging from 99% to 100% is not necessary and takes a long time for the same reason it happens in a Tesla: the battery is like a parking lot for electrons. The fuller it gets, the longer it takes to find a spot. So that last little bit can take as long as the first 80-90% in a Tesla, 99% for the MC Pro apparently. Elon Musk explains it really well if you google Tesla charge time.

Interesting. When using Sidus, our lights stay on between scene changes. We have five rooms with 40 ish lights, each set as a scene. So, if they shut off when we change scenes, that would be bad.
@storybabble 5 ай бұрын
Changing from seed to scene requires DMX support, which the MC pro has, and other lights from aperture that have the word “pro” after them. You will also need a DMX controller of some kind.

I’m not sure why, but we have not needed anything more than Sidus to “keep the lights on.” When I switch back to a scene, it connects and picks up where they are. Hummm

great review !! for me, the smaller size of the MC is huge, i can easily pack 2 MC on my camera bag without any issues, while with the MC Pro, i won't be able to fit 1. For me the biggest advantage would be using the MC Pro at longer periods of time without the need of charging it. Since i rarely use the MC over 50% (generally around 20/30%), if i can use the MC Pro at 10% or so, i would be having a much better battery life which helps a lot ! for me, the 200 dollars is a little higher than i was expecting, especially for other countries, like here in Brasil, the price difference is huuuuge :( can't wait to see the comparion with the MT Pro, i have 2 units and i love using them ! The pixel effect is too good, it's pretty hard to beat that light, considering all the specs that is has, such a bummer aputure decided to go with the infinibar design instead of the MT pro design...

Awesome review. Love your format of valuing things. Super Entertaining and it makes me feel like im also inputting into the conversation by just watching. Couple things to note though.... The MC Pro is 4x the brightness without any diffusers or attachments .Not 4x the power They achieved it by increasing the power a little bit(definitely not 4x) and by reducing the beam angle of the light. The MC Pro has a less diffusion and tighter beam compared to the MC out of the box and thats the main reason why its able to put out more light. Also, i feel you definitely undervalued the fact that its rainproof id value that at around 20-25$ with how much i work outdoors. Also the fact that theyre mixing in the red and blue leds into the white spectrum to achieve a higher CRI and further temperature range. I would definitely say thats a difference in money. The MC Pro will achieve fire looks much better because of it aswell as if ur trying to do a cold blue look like someone is starting at a bright screen then the extended range would also help a ton with that. Id value the extended range as atleast worth 10$ Also the eggshell lens is definitely worth 25$ if not more!!! That thing is bussin

Thanks for the great review. I was wondering if you could please tell me if the MC Pro works while it is charging. I am considering getting 2 or 3 to use in my voiceover booth, which means they would mostly stay in place and the USB would mostly be plugged in. Space is tight (5'x6'x7') so I am considering using one as a key light for live directed sessions with clients. I need something that I don't need to charge to use, is quiet, stays cool, looks pro, and will fit in my space. I like the Aputure/Amaran universe, and I like the control the Sidus app affords. Thanks!

It is a great light honestly and a great honest review as always but I feel it’s not worth it over my MC and for what it’s worth, $200 for the MC Pro is too much when I can get the MT Pro for the same price, I know they are different tools for different jobs and have different features for said jobs but !!! Still … I’d go MT Pro and keep my MC non pro.

The 4 times brightness is worth 110$ to me because I would of purchased it anyway if this is the only difference. The UI (menu system, screen and rotary encoder) is worth 30$ to me because I do like a nice user experience. The hot shoe adapter is worth $30 because I don't have one. The quick release magnetic filters are worth another 30$ because time is valuable and I don't want to fanny around looking for alternatives that may or may not fit correctly. The grand total of what it is all worth to me is $110. Yes 110$ (that is not a maths error) I am also happy with it. 🤣

That’s hard to say. The beam angle is tighter on the MC pro, so it does seem harsher. It’s also less to fused, but when you diffuse it, it’s not harsh at all.

Sorry for the dumb q, i am looking to buy the stella reflex studio for videography and some photography Can this do both too?
@storybabble Жыл бұрын
It can do both because it switches between being a flash (for photo) and a continuous light (for video). However, a continuous light alone can also work for photo too, but a flash will be much brighter and allow you to have a much faster shutter speed. I have not used the Stella reflex but I would be wary of the light because it’s hard for me to imagine that it would be better than separate dedicated flash and video lights. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
