The Aputure MT Pro, first announced alongside a coming MC Pro update at NAB 2022, is a unique 1-foot $199 RGBWW tube light with built-in Lumen Radio CRMX and a whopping 36 individually controllable pixels in that same small footprint. With banner features like that, it is undeniable aimed at “Pro” users (it’s in the name after all), and yet it ships with a tiny tripod that seems aimed at desk-based content creators. These wireless DMX features mixed with a tiny desk tripod is a bit of quandary and it’s a quandary that I’m excited to explore in this review of the Aputure MT Pro. The Aputure MT Pro is being marketed as a tube light and it is indeed a tube light, but I would say the design is more of a half-tube. This is important to consider because in this configuration you aren’t getting quite as wide a beam angle as, say, with the amaran T4c RGBWW tube. Somehow Aputure has crammed a bunch of features into the petite 1-foot MT Pro: 36 Pixels (think of these a bit like the light engine “zones” in the Nova 600C, but they’re each 0.3 inches wide)Lumen Radio CRMX Control Integrated Battery Bluetooth Control over Sidus Link Green and Magenta +/- Control CCT Mode with 2,000K to 10,000K range (expandable in Sidus Link to 1,500K to 20,000K)HSI, RGB Modes (no X/Y) 7 Built-in Pixel Effects (these are effects that make use of those 36 previously-mentioned pixels) Aputure MT Pro: First Impressions...
