We were surprised that there wasn't more fanfare with the MC Pro release. Your demonstration of how the light gets thrown and your explanation around the differences in light intensity were very useful. Thanks!
Thank you for a really good demonstration, Josh. For what it is worth, you seem to try very hard to entertain, which is totally unnecessary, at least to someone like me. The information you provide is very useful in itself. Maybe other viewers feel differently, but now you know how one viewer felt watching your video.
Great video, well done ! Why is the Aputure MC pro so expensive though, it is only 5W. Would it be able to light up properly a subject at 5-7m distance ?
Um.... last I checked you weren't me... the guy actually in the video... but either way, you both are very welcome for the video. The MC Pros are my new favorite light.
I would say absolutely because I've done that in all my videos up to when I switched entirely to MC Pros. The only other light I've heavily used is the Amaran 150c. But those are in a separate division of lights.
At the moment I only have one C-Stand that was out of frame and it was holding a light.... my only other option was to put a tripod on the table for a top-down. 😂

the 2 hour battery life at max is not true. mine goes off in an hour and heats up like crazy.
Thank you for this video, Josh. Greatly appreciated:-)
Glad to be of assistance!
Aputure MC versus Aputure MC 2: Electric Boogaloo
Thank you very much. Was wondering what could be the differences irl.
My regular MC gets super hot if I have it on a decently high intensity with the diffuser on
thanks for the video!
ur welcome

@@JoshSchorleTech lol!
Soooo… who is the MC for as opposed to the MC pro??
Either are great for anyone honestly, the main differentiating factors are cost, and light output.
You can see another light on the couch...
Where specifically (time code)?
I used the MC, the one MC Pro, my Elgato Keylight at my desk, & the Aputure P60C for the top down shots.
Can this be used as a keylight to draw focus to the subjects face?
Yes. I’ve been using it to my light face in my B-Cam footage (my face) when I’m shooting top-down (A-Cam) unboxings.
is it possible to put this on top of the phone as well? its gonna be my first light
As long as you have a phone mount with a cold shoe or a camera cage designed for your phone, you should be able to do this no problem.
Can the MC be used as a fill light if it is really close?
I would say absolutely because I've done that in all my videos up to when I switched entirely to MC Pros. The only other light I've heavily used is the Amaran 150c. But those are in a separate division of lights.
@@JoshSchorleTech Thanks. That is very helpful.
Nice intro

Tripod on the table ? 😂 I love it

@@JoshSchorleTech not a gripe, I love it. I was able to get a really clear view from that angle.
