Thanks for the honest review of these lights. I was very interested when they were promoted 2 years ago, but they raised the price, originally sold them only in kits of 3, and the color and fan issues are disappointing. I generally like Aputure products (I own 5 of their lights), but not every product is a win, their quality control is sometimes off and their prices are creeping up as they become a popular brand. All this is making an opportunity for competition.
Thanks for your video! Saw you at NAB, but am somewhat of an introvert. Just picked these up for work. Great use for interviews and lecture based content.
Honestly I’d love to add these to my kit. Primarily because they’re small and battery powered. Perfect for a hair light, background, etc. Problem is I also wanna get 120 and 300. lol!
Thanks Caleb, I tried to research and compare stats for these, the Came Boltzens 55W and Fotodiox Popspot. In the end I bought a Boltzens 55W and much prefer it for my wedding work. Significantly more output/throw. But keeping the Mini20 kit for potential talking head/interview setups. Worth having in the gear kit I reckon. But yea the Boltzens really surprised me. And battery mounts direct to the light!
I actually like that the power isn't on the light means it is easier to reach if the light is up high and you need to change it would have been good if they had the controls on the battery holder too.
Thanks for what you do. You are BY FAR the most concise and insightful person I've found. I am looking for a good key-light to go with these guys... recommendations? My film space is only 10 feet x 15 feet (small I know). Per your video and comparing to dozens of others, I bought the aputure light kit and purchased an additional D to hopefully "get by" as a key light for the time being. If I can boost my budget a bit, I'll try to get the 120 or 300D, but for the stuff I'm shooting I had to put the 120D at 10% power so I surmised that if I just get an extra mini 20D I should be able to have enough of a key light for what I'm going for - but I want to thank you for your comments and education. you rock !
Thanks for this video. Super helpful as I was looking for a new lighting kit and these were on my list. The lack of them being strong enough to be key lights is a deal breaker for me but I think everything else looks great.
Thanks for your review of these lights. I was intrigued by the original daylight model when it was announced 2 years. Nice form factor, hard-ish cut for background slashes, and spot/flood focusing would be a nice complement to my Aputure LS1/2 and COB 120d light kit. Sadly, after a very long wait, the estimate price of $199 jumped 30% and for the longest time you could only buy the 3 light kit (single lights weren't available). I really wanted to get this light, but the odd color temperature, bleaching gel inserts, loud fan noise and low output give me pause.
Great review Caleb! I was super keen on getting the three kit when these lights were announced. A little disappointed by the bleaching of the CTO filter after use and the loud fan. That being said I'd love to have one of these lights to round out my kit, most probably the Mini 20C.
Is your background gray or white? Because whatever it is, it looks perfect. Not super dark black and not blown out white.. love the in between. Very soothing. Maybe just dimly lit white.
Having to use CTO to convert to DAYLIGHT! That's very disappointing, and I would almost say not usable for the majority of shoots. The barn doors, and battery options are great but I don't think it's worth the pain of the wacky colour temps. I would suggest most people would be better off renting a kit of Dedo 150W lights. Great review though Caleb, love your work
To make an educated guess, the yellow fringing occurs because Aputure did not properly mask the edges of the COB module. As a result, light is refracted through the edges of the phosphor and leaves the fixture.
Careful with the barn doors. While they are made of metal the are attached to a really thin piece of plastic. One of mine was tightened just a little too tight from the factory and it snapped off as soon as I tried to open it. Aputure was kind enough to send out a replacement barn door assembly but it's something I have to be very careful with from now on. It's kind of a design flaw in my opinion.
Aputure loves to post their high output specs... I'm sure they were able to boost their numbers (on paper) by making them 7500k... just like the 120d is 6000k not 5600k.
I have come to really like the external power as I can cut the lights without climbing on chairs and so forth to "save the lights." I have added x-10s from eBay...
Really interesting - I'm after a 3 point lighting rig, still a little expensive compared with likes of godox sl60. I saw Godox have released the s30-d pack which looks very similar to this however £300 more expensive. Wonder how they perform as they are 5600k instead of the 7500k of these lights - maybe a future video? Thanks again for the great video dude!
Very good review - again! I appreciate you deeper look and not only praising of the products. I would be very interested in a review of the Rotolight products - first of all the Rotolight Neo 2. Any chance you pick up one of these? Probably comparing it to similar lights of other brands, you already reviewed?
I like the sound of your shotgun microphone. at 9:46, there is a wide shot of your studio. What make and model is this shotgun microphone? Thanks for doing this video. I'm looking into buying this kit. maybe. :)
I finally picked up this set... I wonder if you ever figured out a way to have them always on so that they can be powered on and off easily when mounted high? They default to off when losing power.
A battery clamp with an indicator... gee I never saw an electronic clamp...Take-2... on the other hand thank you, thank you, thank you for actually stating the distance you used to measure the level of illumination...
Hoping to see an update on these with actual daylight temperature and remote control support. This lights just are way too dated compared to Aputure's most recent stuff.
Great review. I don't think these are nearly as good as some of the other lights you've covered for the price point. 7500 kelvin, loud fan, not very bright... kind of disappointing imo
@@dslrvideoshooter I think you mean "at this price point." There are now many good fresnel LEDs that cut almost as cleanly as tungsten. The Ikan White Stars are marvelous in that regard, but of course they're comparable to an Arri 650 in output and cost about $1,000. But none of the drawbacks found here with the Aputure in terms of loud fan and color fringing. And of course, modern soft lights (e.g., KinoFlo Celeb) all cut fairly well now. I'm just geeking out with you; I really loved your review and thought your pros and cons were all perfectly fair and well observed.
like all the small lights out there... arri 150w has the same porpouse those ones are more versatile and probably nicer.. what about their competitors? the boltzen led small etc etc???
Hi. Firstly; your videos are awesome and as a qualified photographer back in the day (decades ago), and the help I am now giving my ten-year-old boy to help set up a TH-cam gaming channel, the memories of my previous life have come fludding back, so thanks for that. Anyhow, you seem to be the man to ask, so I will jump right in. The set up is to light my son whilst reviewing video games, so he will be in a chair (space about 1x1m; give or take), and there is a 1x1m window approximately half metre infront and to the right of him, so could be used as a fill light (I assume), but the left side is dark the room is only 3x3m. I have looked at your reviews, would you recommend the LS C120D from Aputure or the mini 20's . . . but given your reviews regarding power and colour issues, I am not experienced enough any more to really be sure and could really use some advice.
Most all are a standard 5500k daylight, except the COB 120D which is 6000k, the tri-8/672/528/198/M9/LS1/300D all the same, bi color is 5500-3200, the mini 20 are the only ones this far off.
Did you notice a fan noise difference between the bi-color and the daylight color model? And could you use one light as a key, I notice you used 2 through diffusion. Great video, these lights look really great!
Small issue... I'm using the battery plate like you did in this video but I'm having a hard time removing it? Do I need to push the lock button? Should it slide right off? Does it require a bit of force? Any help, helps!
So I have a question about this light. If I plug this in to a power strip and then turn off and on the power strip, will the light come back on? Or do I have to hit the power button again on the light itself? Thanks! Great review!
Do you have a video about how your key light doesn't catch in your glasses? Shadows on your face still feel natural and not too "side-lit" but I'm not seeing anything catch in your glasses haha Or is it just up high and you try to keep your head angled level/down? I feel the glasses struggle daily lol
Pivot Point Films I own both and am a Wedding cinematographer. Aputure output is decent in most weddings, but for sure the Boltzens 55W give longer throw if you are ever in big ballrooms!
I was considering to bye one... - but has no illusions about the overall quality of the product... Can you tell the audience about its pulsation? I'm desperately looking for a decent lighting for high-FPS-shooting with all gh5 180FPS...
Love the video man but what's your thoughts comparing these guys to the practilite 602, I know there at different levels but still Curious how the Aputure lights compare at such a cheaper price point?
"The LS-mini20 uses the chip-on-board design of the Aputure Light Storm series. It features a TLCI and CRI of 96+, which guarantees natural, pristine color in any application. With a fresnel built into the front of the light for focusing the light beam, the LS-mini20 is capable of outputting 2000 lumens using only 25W of power and can reach up to 40,000 lux at 1.6' away." From the B&H page
Hi, Caleb! Would like to know what your aperture and shutter speed/angle was at 9:43 just to get an idea of how bright two mini20D's are for a talking head setup like yours. Also, how far was the light from you? A meter or two? Really considering buying these!
Danke, great Review! I like the small size, fresnel/focus and different powering options BUT the color fringe and noise is a no go for me. Having these issues solved would even justify a higher price tag. Is there any recommendation for an alternative?
A lot of people swear by Fiilix. For bi-color, look at the Ikan Helia 40; it is definitely the "higher price tag" at about $600 per, but it also is an LED fresnel with barn doors that cut cleanly.
Hi Caleb, great video - would you be able to recommend a compact light which would be daylight (or mixable) and be better suited as key light? portability is key, I need to traverse London's tube on my own with all my video kit! I will mostly be balancing the light with the ambient and shooting through an umbrella or soft box. Thanks in advance
Bit surprised by the low quality. Not sure how the CRI is so high when we can see that magenta colour cast. Small lights need to be usable in small spaces, so they cannot be noisey. Not sure what the point of 7500k is. Not sure why 2xD and 1xC as a lot of people won't want a coloured light. Very surprised at Aputure who I feel have fallen short on this product. A bit expensive, too!
my understanding was that if all my lights would be the "same" blue I can correct it by the white balance settings. So CTO is really needed? Also you mentioned they are great for everything but key light but we can use them as key light. I didn't exactly catch what are the limitations for key light. Is it the temperature as well?
Thanks for the info. What was the name and true color of your backdrop? I'm needing to beef up my lighting for head shot sessions and these would help. Thanks!
thanks for the video. How long do the batteries last at full power? Do they come with the power cord to plug them directly to the wall? and how would you compare them to FotodioX Pro PopSpot J-500 ($1,099.95) and CAME-TV Boltzen 55W ($868.00)? Thanks again.

Agreed! Love that look.
Got mine earlier this week. BUY THESE NOW. They're amazing!
Nice Tim!
Can't wait to get to the level, where I can fully understand.
So this is what its like to be subscribed to a tech type channel. You get to see all the cool new gadgets first. Awesome.👌

Quite an honest review of these lights
That's a massive package. Great review, Caleb.
Wow. These are awesome. I dont have the money for it, but it seems every cent worth.
that light is so cute
Thanks for your video! Saw you at NAB, but am somewhat of an introvert. Just picked these up for work. Great use for interviews and lecture based content.
Really trusting your opinion! Thanks for the consistent delivery of great videos :)
Thank you for the kind words. Means a lot!
Very good review ! www.novsights.com/
Terrific comprehensive overview. Thanks!
We would love to get a few of these! The barn doors look awesome for highlighting small areas of your scene!
About to buy through your link! Your content has helped me over the years, glad I can give something back for once.
Great review about this Aputure mini 20 kit, thumb up bro , I really see that all your reviews are helpful, keep it going and keep it up.
Thank you Sultan!
Amazing porduct!!!! Hope to see it soon here in Italy!
Honestly I’d love to add these to my kit. Primarily because they’re small and battery powered. Perfect for a hair light, background, etc. Problem is I also wanna get 120 and 300. lol!

Hey those look really cool, I think I need a few of these for my next video, thanks Caleb!
Thanks Dave! I could see you really putting them to work in your background. Couple gels and bam!
Awesome, in depth review, I might buy this kit soon.
Looking good with the new haircut dude! Great video, keep it up!
Thanks Daniel!
I actually like that the power isn't on the light means it is easier to reach if the light is up high and you need to change it would have been good if they had the controls on the battery holder too.

If you have a Sony full frame or even a6500 you'd probably be ok. My G85 doesn't like the dark!
Dope, Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking of getting the Cam-TV 55w for wedding and event work.
Very good review. But I think for Aputure price is a litle bit high)
Was waiting for this review!!
Thank you for this informative review
Thank YOU for watching!
Great video review - thank you so much! Greetings from Germany, Dirk
really helpful review Caleb, especially noting those caveats!! thank you ;-)
Subscribed - intelligent and thorough review
this looks so awseome
Its a good thing the battery is separate. If the Light is high up you can change the battery easily without bringing the light down.
Thanks for your review of these lights. I was intrigued by the original daylight model when it was announced 2 years. Nice form factor, hard-ish cut for background slashes, and spot/flood focusing would be a nice complement to my Aputure LS1/2 and COB 120d light kit.

Out of my budget😢.

Great review though Caleb, love your work
Sam Bennett I feel the same. 7500 kelvin is just blue
And probably measured LUX numbers won't be as high anymore with the 5600 filter put on.
Especially disappointing that it has this problem and it costs $700!
if you bought it without knowing what 7500K means...what can I say
great review! thank you!
Is the color fringing happening because of the orange piece of acrylic that's bleached in the center but not the edges?
Miniac not sure, it looks magenta to me, so wouldn't that be from the LED?
Unfortunately it is there with or without the filter.
DSLR Video Shooter that's a real shame. Would make it hard work to mix with other lights.
Might be great for film noir though :)
To make an educated guess, the yellow fringing occurs because Aputure did not properly mask the edges of the COB module. As a result, light is refracted through the edges of the phosphor and leaves the fixture.

Did you review the lights on the Aputure site? I think I saw you there!
Thanks for the info.
ooo bit like a dedo light i guess, very cool and nice review
What is the point of getting a daylight version reading 7500k then killing output of light by throwing on a CTO Gel..smh
Aputure loves to post their high output specs... I'm sure they were able to boost their numbers (on paper) by making them 7500k... just like the 120d is 6000k not 5600k.
Great review, as usual :)
I just super-subbed.
I have come to really like the external power as I can cut the lights without climbing on chairs and so forth to "save the lights." I have added x-10s from eBay...

if they had 5500K light, then will be perfect for small product video :-)
Very good review - again! I appreciate you deeper look and not only praising of the products.
I would be very interested in a review of the Rotolight products - first of all the Rotolight Neo 2. Any chance you pick up one of these? Probably comparing it to similar lights of other brands, you already reviewed?
YONGNUO YN216 YN-216 LED Video Camera Lights on Amazon for $60. They take NP-F batteries. Powerful and a REAL budget option.
I like the sound of your shotgun microphone. at 9:46, there is a wide shot of your studio. What make and model is this shotgun microphone? Thanks for doing this video. I'm looking into buying this kit. maybe. :)
I finally picked up this set... I wonder if you ever figured out a way to have them always on so that they can be powered on and off easily when mounted high? They default to off when losing power.
Cheap DEDO alternative, nice!
Hello buddy,
Great video. Very precise review.
Which light stands di you use for the Aputure minis ?
Cheers from Senegal !
This light vs the CameTV Boltzen (30w and 55w) battery powered lights?
Can we see Aputure Mini vs Dedo LED sometime?
Good stuff! Is that a grey background or black?
A battery clamp with an indicator... gee I never saw an electronic clamp...Take-2... on the other hand thank you, thank you, thank you for actually stating the distance you used to measure the level of illumination...
Dance floor lighting for weddings? Bi Color or daylight? Thanks!
Hoping to see an update on these with actual daylight temperature and remote control support. This lights just are way too dated compared to Aputure's most recent stuff.
Caleb thanks for the review. Can i used these light during the reception dance during a wedding?
Great review. I don't think these are nearly as good as some of the other lights you've covered for the price point. 7500 kelvin, loud fan, not very bright... kind of disappointing imo
I love these for what they are. The 20D is very bright and it is very hard to find other lights that cut or spot/flood like these!
@@dslrvideoshooter I think you mean "at this price point." There are now many good fresnel LEDs that cut almost as cleanly as tungsten.

Hi. Firstly; your videos are awesome and as a qualified photographer back in the day (decades ago), and the help I am now giving my ten-year-old boy to help set up a TH-cam gaming channel, the memories of my previous life have come fludding back, so thanks for that. Anyhow, you seem to be the man to ask, so I will jump right in.
The set up is to light my son whilst reviewing video games, so he will be in a chair (space about 1x1m; give or take), and there is a 1x1m window approximately half metre infront and to the right of him, so could be used as a fill light (I assume), but the left side is dark the room is only 3x3m. I have looked at your reviews, would you recommend the LS C120D from Aputure or the mini 20's . . . but given your reviews regarding power and colour issues, I am not experienced enough any more to really be sure and could really use some advice.
Thanks for the review. What would be the power equivalent with a classic tungsten fresnel in watts ?
Cool video. A bit pricey for me though
Just watch your review on the Apurture mini 20d. Have you ever had the chance to try the FotodioX Pro PopSpot? If so, which one do you prefer and why?
Do you know if the color temperature is an issue with the other Aputures? I really don't want to be fighting my lights every day to get true daylight
Most all are a standard 5500k daylight, except the COB 120D which is 6000k, the tri-8/672/528/198/M9/LS1/300D all the same, bi color is 5500-3200, the mini 20 are the only ones this far off.
Will it work with a softbox?
Can't control with a remote, means no sale. I'm shocked they didn't include this. Too bad too...
Did you notice a fan noise difference between the bi-color and the daylight color model? And could you use one light as a key, I notice you used 2 through diffusion. Great video, these lights look really great!
Both were similar, but at certain temps, the Color model would get loud much quicker which was weird.
Do you like these better than the 55W CAME-TV Boltzen?
I have the set of three. They are great lights but the fans are way noisy. You owuld really struggle with them shooting dialogue in a quiet location.
Small issue... I'm using the battery plate like you did in this video but I'm having a hard time removing it? Do I need to push the lock button? Should it slide right off? Does it require a bit of force? Any help, helps!
How many watts are they?!?!
So I have a question about this light. If I plug this in to a power strip and then turn off and on the power strip, will the light come back on? Or do I have to hit the power button again on the light itself? Thanks! Great review!
Do you have a video about how your key light doesn't catch in your glasses? Shadows on your face still feel natural and not too "side-lit" but I'm not seeing anything catch in your glasses haha Or is it just up high and you try to keep your head angled level/down? I feel the glasses struggle daily lol
Would you recommend this for weddings? Or just buy one 300?
Hey Caleb!! Great review as always! Judging by your comments would you recommend this kit for lighting weddings/dance floor/toasts?
Pivot Point Films I own both and am a Wedding cinematographer. Aputure output is decent in most weddings, but for sure the Boltzens 55W give longer throw if you are ever in big ballrooms!
PIGMINTFILM thanks so much for the pro tip! I'll look into the Boltzens!!
How can you difuse this light? Is there any softbox?
I was considering to bye one... - but has no illusions about the overall quality of the product...
Can you tell the audience about its pulsation? I'm desperately looking for a decent lighting for high-FPS-shooting with all gh5 180FPS...
Is there any mention of a wireless feature for these? The C300d and 120D has a remote, so it could have been possible.
Love this video!
Can I get the answer what do you use for the key-light in this video?
Thank you)
Likely a aputure 120d
Love the video man but what's your thoughts comparing these guys to the practilite 602, I know there at different levels but still Curious how the Aputure lights compare at such a cheaper price point?
You gave us the lux numbers, but what are the lumens? You gave lumens in some of your other light reviews. Trying to compare...
"The LS-mini20 uses the chip-on-board design of the Aputure Light Storm series. It features a TLCI and CRI of 96+, which guarantees natural, pristine color in any application. With a fresnel built into the front of the light for focusing the light beam, the LS-mini20 is capable of outputting 2000 lumens using only 25W of power and can reach up to 40,000 lux at 1.6' away." From the B&H page
John Ruiz Productions Thanks. I didn't think to look on B&H
Hi, Caleb! Would like to know what your aperture and shutter speed/angle was at 9:43 just to get an idea of how bright two mini20D's are for a talking head setup like yours. Also, how far was the light from you? A meter or two? Really considering buying these!
hi Caleb, thanks for this review. How would they work to create a seamless whitebackground? Do you think they can do the job?
Hey, would you recommend the Mini20s or the Intellytech Pocket Cannon?
If i go budget buy this as main light or chose something else?
so now i wanna know how they compare to the came tv boltzens which are around the same size.
Danke, great Review! I like the small size, fresnel/focus and different powering options BUT the color fringe and noise is a no go for me. Having these issues solved would even justify a higher price tag. Is there any recommendation for an alternative?
A lot of people swear by Fiilix. For bi-color, look at the Ikan Helia 40; it is definitely the "higher price tag" at about $600 per, but it also is an LED fresnel with barn doors that cut cleanly.
Hi Caleb, great video - would you be able to recommend a compact light which would be daylight (or mixable) and be better suited as key light? portability is key, I need to traverse London's tube on my own with all my video kit! I will mostly be balancing the light with the ambient and shooting through an umbrella or soft box. Thanks in advance
Bit surprised by the low quality. Not sure how the CRI is so high when we can see that magenta colour cast.
Small lights need to be usable in small spaces, so they cannot be noisey.
Not sure what the point of 7500k is.
Not sure why 2xD and 1xC as a lot of people won't want a coloured light.
Very surprised at Aputure who I feel have fallen short on this product. A bit expensive, too!
my understanding was that if all my lights would be the "same" blue I can correct it by the white balance settings. So CTO is really needed?
Also you mentioned they are great for everything but key light but we can use them as key light. I didn't exactly catch what are the limitations for key light. Is it the temperature as well?
Dude! Why are looking so sad 😞 on your title images? Smile 😊
Great Video BTW :)
I'll work on that!
Thanks for the info. What was the name and true color of your backdrop? I'm needing to beef up my lighting for head shot sessions and these would help. Thanks!
thanks for the video. How long do the batteries last at full power? Do they come with the power cord to plug them directly to the wall? and how would you compare them to FotodioX Pro PopSpot J-500 ($1,099.95) and CAME-TV Boltzen 55W ($868.00)?
Thanks again.
What's the fill light when you're only using the mini20 for sculpting the rest? Cheers mate!
