They are amazing in lighting and studio

I bought another one because the first one is fantastic. Really changed my photo. You can hide these little bugs anywhere in your fill light kit, edge light even front light etc. The app is a nightmare to navigate - very poor user experience if you ask me. But in most cases you don't need it if you only need white light (heat is adjustable on the device itself). Very cool. I love her.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • ---

Expensive and faulty with lighting

Well it gets two stars because it didn't connect to the app which was the main reason I bought it. Not sure if it was because it was repaired or returned or if it was a defect. And the instructions didn't match the menu item used to connect, other than it worked. You would think that for just under 100.00 a rig for connecting to the camera would be included. As this is an option how you can use it

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Amazing light for product photography and intimate portraits!

I just ordered my third Aperture light! They are excellent for product and portrait photography. Built-in powerful magnets allow you to attach them to any metal object. They're portable, very bright for their size, and the FX lighting is super cool too. I used fireworks at my friend's wedding which added a nice ambient light. You can sync up to 6 of these on your phone to manage them at once, so I'll find out more soon.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Is there anything I can add?

The best hand lantern!

This is by far the best hand held flashlight I have ever used. A full range of color and temperature options combined with a compact size make it ideal for almost any small lighting application. The battery lasts quite a long time even at full power and charges quickly. The deactivator is also extremely practical. Features I haven't used that much but love: magnets on the back, the ability to sync multiple lights and change colors at once, and an in-app color picker. All in all a great…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Safety

Absolutely Awesome

I bought one of these directly from the Aputure website at the recommendation of a professional photographer and YouTuber. And it was cheaper than what they got at Revain back then. Bought 2 more here when the price went down because they are so good. I mainly use it for fill light and closeups, so I don't really use the app. The app is really helpful for those who use them as accent lights and/or want each light to be different colors as you can set up different scenes. Get one or two, you…

  • Good Stuff

If you don't have an iPhone, read this!

I ended up purchasing the product directly from Aputure's website, so it doesn't show that I had a verified purchase (you can rate the product on Aputure's website). I've been waiting for this light to be released and was very excited when I was finally able to order it. Aputure really blew me away with all of its capabilities. The idea of being able to sync them together, view and choose a color and just use it with the phone really appealed to me in general. Wha Aputure doesn't tell you. The…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not sure

Lots of software issues

I'm surprised this flashlight gets 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 get it to 100%. But later I tried again and more than 80% didn't work. Of course, I charged both lamps for

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I'm concerned

Amazing purchase! Amazing light!

I love these lights, they connect and I can control them from my phone at the same time. They come with a bunch of presets and I can't even describe how bright they get. Even with a diffuser I can't in my right mind say anyone would look at them directly at full brightness, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND BRIGHT. My only complaint was how they got to me, the first arrived fine and the second was supposed to arrive late. I agree that the other one will be late, the lovely lady emailed me what was going…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged

I really want this light though.

After trying various table lighting systems, mainly video streaming (including Litra, Lumecube, Neewer, etc.) I bought this Aputure light. There's a lot to like - very bright, easily adjustable brightness and color, controls and display are easy to use and read, back magnets are nice to the touch. But after a few weeks of use, I began to see serious problems that seem to be related to overheating of the battery and the device in general. Even when fully charged, the device gets very hot and…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
