Aputure just announced their new small and super powerful MX and F7 LED lights, and our man Eric van Vuuren already reviewed them in detail in this video. Aputure Amaran MX – small with big output The new Amaran MX light by Aputure is the successor of the popular M9 light, but this time it’s very sturdily built using aircraft aluminium, on the footprint of a credit card. It features 128 LEDs and is supposed to be 3 times as bright as the M9 – when using the “booster” function, it can temporarily output even 4 times as much light as the M9 (for up to 60 seconds). Bi-color with internal powerful battery The MX is bi-color and can change from 2800K to 6500K, its CRI and TLCI is more than 95, according to the manufacturer. One charge lasts 40 minutes at maximum power and over 5 hours at minimum power, so in practice it will be somewhere in between for normal use. The internal lithium battery can be charged with a supplied USB-C cable, which is quickly becoming a standard. Such a light is extremely useful to use in small spaces where nothing else fits, for example in cars. Aputure Amaran F7 – larger but less expensive The newly announced Amaran F7 by Aputure is a larger light than the MX, but with a cheaper built (no metal used here) on a larger surface, as you can see in our review. It has twice the amount of LEDs (256)...
