Review on Aputure Amaran MC RGBWW Mini On Camera Video Light, 3200-6500K, CRI/TLCI 96+, HSI Mode, Magnetic Attraction, USB-C PD & Wireless Charging by Mario Schultz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lots of software issues

I am very surprised that this lamp has received such rave reviews. The first one I ordered arrived practically dead; it turned on, then when I turned it off, it didn't turn on again for a while (no exact time) and then suddenly turned on again. I ordered a replacement from Revain. The second has different problems; initially the intensity did not exceed 60%. I then used the Sidus program and managed to bring it to 100%. But later I tried again and more than 80% didn't work. Of course, I charged both lamps for several hours and the battery indicator shows that they can be used for another 2 hours. Suspecting a software problem, I checked the firmware; this is the last one. If you go to the Aputure website, this flashlight isn't even listed for sale. And their support section doesn't list them either. I wonder if they are reliable as their behavior is a complete mess of a mystery.

Pros
  • Plus, thanks to built-in magnets and a footprint about the size of a credit card, you can place this mini RGB light anywhere you need it. The MC also comes equipped with USB-C PD and Qi wireless charging, so it's always ready to go.
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
