Aputure Amaran AL-MX LED Video Light 128 SMD LED Bi-Color On-Camera Video Light, TLCI/CRI 95+, 2800-6500K Adjustable,[email protected] Booster Mode Built-in Lithium Battery with Cold Shoe Mount Carry Bag

I bought this as an on camera key light for YouTube videos. It is certainly very bright. However, it has enormous shortcomings. The battery life is terrible. I’ll get maybe 45 minutes from it running at 80% brightness. And it doesn’t charge up quickly. (It also gets very hot.) Also, the interface it awful. It isn’t intuitive and there is no digital display. Nor is there the opportunity to pair it with the Sidus Link app. Overall, it is very disappointing. Instead, I would strongly recommend the Aputure MC RGBWW light. I have three of them. They are superb. Less bright, but the battery is excellent and they are full adjustable and RGB as well as white light - and all controllable from the app. And all this for two thirds the price of this light.

The light itself for a small unit which is very portable is very bright on its brightest setting with the boost mode option available emitting more like in 60 second intervals.Various colour temperatures easily changed by the same buttons as brightness once a switch is flicked.Build quality is second to none on this unit! One of its best points.It runs off its own internally rechargeable battery, of which lasts decently long. Plenty enough on lower settings, boost mode will reduce it faster as expected.Has a 1/4” screw thread mounting options I believe, which you can easily pop on a tripod, cold shoe attachment to the camera or simply place near your subject / background.Comes with two plates that magnetically snap on and off the front for diffusing light, I think you have the option to purchase different colour plates or gels afterwards.I keep this light in the smallest front pouch of my camera bag and it has come in handy when you need it most whilst packing light! Literally!All in all, yes it’s a touch pricey for the size light it is, but with everything I’ve mentioned before I felt for me, it was worth it.

Pros;- bi colour- lightweight and very portable- solid sturdy high quality design- long battery life- easily rigableCons;- no dimmer available (there is a brighter setting more suited for photography however)Some people might argue the price but if you’re serious about lighting then you’ll appreciate the versatility and portability of this light. It’s ideal for videographers, you tubers or content creators and filmmakers who need a small setup.

A small, neat lamp, but great quality

The charge doesn't last long only 5 mins or so, the front cover keep dropping off if slightly touched, really annoying. Wouldn't recommend

Only I like size n enough brighter, m disappointed with battery life max works with 1 hour only according to the price its needs to b alteast 5 or 6 hrs minimum, so I what did use my power bank for continue shooting that's the way u can work with it long

Durable. Stunningly bright. Great battery life. A fantastic accessory for your camera, or simply as a utility light for everyday purpose.

Great little light. Solid construction and fab little tidy pouch with it to slot into your camera bag. Quite expensive for what it is but I think it’s worth it!
