MC RGB On Camera LED Light, Standard
The MC is Aputure’s first light to include full Hue, Saturation, & Intensity (HSI) color control. With 360° of hue and 100 levels of saturation adjustment, you have the power to conveniently reproduce any color, all in the palm of your hand. The Aputure MC isn’t just a light that relies on Red, Green, and Blue LEDs. By adding two additional white LEDs — one balanced at tungsten and a second at daylight — the Aputure MC is an impossibly small light that competes with industry giants.

Aputure MC RGBWW LED Light — Palm-Sized Color Light for Travel Cinematographers
The gist: A 130 g pocket-sized RGBWW LED light with full HSI color control and nine creative FX modes — the travel film light that fits in a jacket pocket but reproduces any color temperature from 3200K tungsten to 6500K daylight.
- Full HSI color control: 360° hue rotation and 100 saturation levels reproduce virtually any color in-camera without gels, covering everything from golden-hour warmth to neon-sign ambiance in travel hotel and street scenes.
- CRI/TLCI 96+ color accuracy: Professional-grade color rendering index ensures skin tones look natural in travel portraits and interview setups even when mixing with ambient window light.
- Magnetic mounting: Built-in magnets let it stick to metal surfaces, railings, or multi-light rigs instantly — no light stand required for quick-setup travel shots.
- USB-C PD + Qi wireless charging: Charges via the same USB-C cable as your camera and laptop — no proprietary charger to pack, and Qi wireless charging works on any compatible pad.
Newsshooter’s hands-on review confirmed the Aputure MC is “an impossibly small light that competes with industry giants,” specifically praising the color accuracy of the RGBWW (five-LED) design over standard RGB alternatives.
Best for: Travel filmmakers, vloggers, and photographers who need a compact continuous light source for run-and-gun location setups without carrying a full light kit. Skip it if: You need high-output coverage for a large room — the MC is designed for accent lighting and close-up work, not broad location illumination. Runs ~$60 — check the current price before buying.
