Refuses to charge from Power Delivery sources

This light is very bright and very small, but adding USB-C charging is basically useless to the point of disruption. The device will absolutely not be charged by a Power Delivery charger. This means you still need to use a separate cable and charging box if you have a laptop that charges via USB-C or a phone that charges via Power Delivery (e.g. Google Pixel/2/ xl/2xl). It also means you can't charge it from your laptop's battery with a USB-C cable like you can charge your phone. Battery packs…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Some problems

Bright, durable between charges and versatile!

In the foreword I say that I'm probably not the ideal buyer for the Aputure AL-MX test. I bought it to use as a fill light for my photography projects I've been doing as a photography student for the last few years. I only have one speedlight so I use Aputure as a tool to enhance some of my images. Overall, I like that it's compact, lightweight, and fits in my camera bag. Light used at moderate to low power lasts a very long time; Can't remember, but that's longer than I'd expect for a…

Really well made, but underpowered for my taste

This device is really well made. This makes it heavy, but feels good in your hand. Nicely decorated with diffusers. The tote bag is really good. Overall very happy with design and accessories. Color management comes in very handy when you need it. My device's heatsink arrived scratched, but that's not a problem. Battery life is decent. I got about 75 minutes at full brightness (no boost). But I expected it to be better than my Manfrotto Lumimuse light (https://amzn.to/2Tv4Tpj) and it's not for…

Best for Influencers

I'm a fan of Aputure products. They make pretty decent flashlights that are cheaper and more innovative than some big brands. I've seen many reviews of AL-MX. Every YouTuber loves to take it out of their pocket or toss it around to show off their size. And that's what attracted me too. Until I got it. I was hooked for about a week and even took it to show a group of other videographers on the set of a documentary for Mercedes. I've brought bigger flashlights but how cool was this little thing…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Powerful and tight light with some missing features that I expected.

First I would like to say that I bought my flashlight from Revain thought it was defective spoke to customer service they quickly sent a replacement and asked them to fix the problem and the old one to return the device. It's been a pretty solid customer support experience. Secondly, I would like to say that despite positive experiences with customer support and receiving a second unit, the issues I had with the first unit still persist and I will not seek another RMA-style return. I've had the
