I love this format for reviews! Awarding dollars for how much you value each feature instead of just giving each feature arbitrary points is a really novel approach.
Thank you. Great comparison of PT1C vs. MT Pro. After this comparison, I cancelled my order for the PT1C and, instead, ordered MT Pro. Solid information.
Thanks, Mark! All along my journey toward launching my channel, I've relied heavily on your honest reviews and keen insights. I'm filming my first video next Tuesday, and I really couldn't have done it without you.
Fantastic! Thanks so much for your support. Good luck on your channel. Just remember that TH-cam is planing the long game. It takes a lot of time before there is growth. At least that’s been my journey.
I have watched various youtube videos reviewing lighting products . and this video is really made with great care , the analysis of the product is full of details . A lot of content is what its customer base wants to see . well done , it deserves more clicks ! Looking forward to seeing your future comments on aputure infinibar.
05:07 You can just go fast to change in 10% increments. I figured it out by accident 😃 By the way, it was such a cute video with your granddaughter. Sure, she will be a TH-cam star one day.:-)))
Thanks for the kind words about my granddaughter. She is destined for greatness. I don’t know why when I was doing the video it wouldn’t go by 10% increments. I was going as fast as I could. I have since played with it and it works as you described it. I think something was just off that day. I hope it wasn’t me. Anyway, you’re right.
You are right. I tried it later and it worked perfectly as you described. However, believe it or not, it was not working while the camera was rolling. I was scrolling as fast as I could. Not sure what went wrong. Works great now. Thanks.
For what it’s worth, I’m watching this in September 2024 and the Amaran PT1c is heavily discounted (selling for $69) which makes it a bargain for anyone looking for a budget friendly option for LED tube lights. Still if you’re looking for added quality and accessories, the Aputure MT Pro might be the way to go.
Great video. Love your reviewing mechanism $$, fun and logical. MT Pro even has CRMX! Most users won't need this, but it's a wild function. Paired with a proper wireless DMX setup (like RatPak + Luminair), MT Pro can be controlled by a proper lighting board and it can passthough it's DMX signal to wired lights down-chain via it's USB-C ->5 Pin DMX dongle (Sold separately) I can use MTPro as a dongle to make a lamp like Arri Skypanel 'wirelessly' controllable.
Just got a $50 Mettle 1 foot tube light from Amazon and prefer it to the MT pro... It's brighter, more effects and easier menu .... MT Pro is only worth it for the grid and sidus.
I still don’t know which one to get honestly, the MT Pro has more value in terms of brightness, accessories it comes with and pixels for custom FX but the amaran still has its things, like being able to rotate the magnets, that’s huge for me, the price.
With the Amaran and the threaded holes on either end, could you daisy chain them together with a threaded piece? In a way, stack them if you needed to?
No. The Amaran light also has a built in battery, but it can be replaced if it goes bad. But I don’t think it’s meant to be swapped out over and over. I’ll ask when I met Aputure at NAB.
At the 5:00 min mark when you was trying to be funny and making it seem like the aperture takes for ever to scroll, if you would have read the manual you would have seen that if you scroll fast it will then skip by 10s instead of by 1s so you have the option of being more precise scrolling normal or skip by 10s and go up or down faster by scrolling faster..🤦🏻 😂
Thanks for the tip. Can’t believe I missed that. I was wondering if there was something like that, but it didn’t work to scroll faster for me. I’ll have to try it again. Thanks.

@@storybabble A running tally on$creen would be fun. :)
I agree with this 100% - I actually laughed out loud when Amaran got dinged and the first dollars were taken away 👏🏼
Your reviews are what the people want should be the standard. Thanks for being alive
Wow! Thanks. I love it.
I cant believe you only have less than 500 subs! with how entertaining you are. you are about to blow up sir!
i just ordered two MT pros
Wow! Thanks. Much appreciated.
Well, this was way more interesting than expected.
Thanks. That means a lot to me.
Thank you. Great comparison of PT1C vs. MT Pro. After this comparison, I cancelled my order for the PT1C and, instead, ordered MT Pro. Solid information.
Glad it was helpful!
I watched many other videos on these lights, but this is by far the most complete. Thank you so much, you help made my purchase decision clear
Thanks for your comment. It really made my day. Glad I was able to help.

One of the best comparison between products I have ever seen. I think it's brilliant the money value of each point. Brilliant!!!!
Thanks. I really appreciate that.
This is the perfect way of reviewing and comparing lights. Great video.
Wow! Thanks for the encouragement. It really helps motivate me.
Great format and love the testing and comparisons. Everything my brain was thinking about for real world use
Thanks, man, that means a lot.
Man giving the information only not wasting your time. Subscribed.
Thanks. Love to hear that.
Your idea to use real money to compare products is so genius I had to subscribe. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the praise, and for the sub. I really appreciate it. It helps keep me going.

Loved the way you review and compare based on money, I think it's better than just saying "oh but this one got a case". Instant sub!
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate that.
Was about to buy the amaran but your video convinced me to drop a bit more cash with the MT PRO.
You won’t regret it. Glad I could help.
That was great !! Would love to have the same format between with the longer Amarans (pixel and not pixel) and even against the Pavotubes.
Great suggestion!

This was a fantastic in depth comparison. You’ve earned a new subscriber 💪🏾
Awesome, thank you!
Love this! The dollar exchanges were great. I want to steal (I mean borrow) that - now to think about a comparison I can do.
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. At least that’s a phrase I stole from someone.
if you take bigger swipes of the dim adjust dial, the Aputure light dims at much faster increments
You are right. I tried it later and it worked perfectly as you described. However, believe it or not, it was not working while the camera was rolling. I was scrolling as fast as I could. Not sure what went wrong. Works great now. Thanks.
I'd love to see some examples of the MT Pro used as a hair light!
Try this video then: th-cam.com/video/kC1aTOQFXRk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NN0jZbQbi5DMP4XR
One of the best clips, keep going!!! Love it ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Well done on this video, sir. A freshs style and snappy. GG
Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. It keeps me going.
I really like your sense of humor. Thank you!
I appreciate that! That means a lot. Thx
fun way to review them! Recommended watch!
Thanks. I really appreciate the kind words.
Fresh format and great information! Thanks for putting this together. I’ve got a single MT Pro and deciding on my next tube light.
Glad you enjoyed it! It means a lot.
Whoa I love this review format 😂
Thanks man. Appreciate it.
great review i like this style. I just bought the PT1c
Nice 👍
Great video, creative way to show it as well!
Thank you very much! It helps to hear that.

I did notice that this dropped in price quite a bit. I think there’s a lot of competition out there. Thanks for the heads up.

I’ve never tried CMRX. I can see how it would be very helpful. Thanks for the comment.
I really enjoyed this thanks, great metric and logic, dry humour. Nice work ❤
Awesome, thank you!
Don’t forget the extended cct range of 2000k vs 2700k my favourite feature by far
Yes. Good point.
Great vid. Appreciate the effort my guy. Even drove to the bank for props.
Thanks. Anything for my viewers.

I feel your pain. Good luck and thanks for the comment.
Really great review, thanks!

With the Amaran and the threaded holes on either end, could you daisy chain them together with a threaded piece? In a way, stack them if you needed to?
Yes. Absolutely. I’ve seen it done. Of course, there will be a gap in the light.
Super helpful video man! Appreciate it
As a reviewer myself I gotta say that method of using the money to quantify the pros and cons is super engaging and makes it much more real.
Glad to hear it! Thanks.
this was a fun comparison, thanks!
Glad you liked it! I live for encouraging words. Thanks.
Great format for a review. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Can you use these lights while they charge by USB? Thinking of a live streaming setup, where you'd need the light to last longer than 1-2h.
I’m pretty sure they can, but I’ll check. But even if not, they last a lot longer if not at 100% power.
@@storybabble thank you! if you could check that'd be fantastic. 🙏 And great video by the way, I love the way you made the comparison 😁
I just bought the Aperture MC 😢.
Fantastic. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know.
curious about the difference between the Mt Pro and the infinibar pb3.
Me too. I do see that I have a need for the infinibar but I want some. Maybe in a week moment l’ll get a few.
Great review
Thanks. Appreciate hearing that.
10:21 love the science!
Thanks man. Appreciate the love.
Totally great video
Thank you so much. Love to hear that you enjoyed it.
is it possible to change the battery on the mtpro?
No. The Amaran light also has a built in battery, but it can be replaced if it goes bad. But I don’t think it’s meant to be swapped out over and over. I’ll ask when I met Aputure at NAB.
@@storybabble ok that's a good point for the amaran compared to the mtpro. It would be sad to throw away the whole light for a failed / dead battery.
@@storybabble Did you ask comrade? Got an MT and curious.
Great vidéo ❤ …
Thanks.
You forget the CRMX feature
But also you forget interchangeable battery inside Amaran tube
Good point.
Nice video
Thanks man. Appreciate it.
✌
Thanks.
HILARIOUS
Thanks man.

@@storybabble yeah I have one, and it works that way for me.. If you flick it faster it skips numbers faster
