Aputure introduce the MT Pro

The MT Pro is Aputure’s first-ever full-colour mini LED tube light. Condensed into its compact 1-foot frame, the MT Pro shines brightly with professional features that stand above the rest – including industry-leading pixel density and wireless CRMX connectivity.

The MT Pro is effective for all levels of filmmakers, photographers, and content creators – use it as an in-camera practical, on camera fill light, hidden accent, or make it the centre of attention for on-the-go content creation and product cinematography. Whether for its compact size or abundance of professional features, the MT Pro has a place in every creative’s toolkit, from lighting technicians to creators.

Pixel Density

Unique to the MT Pro is its pixel density – packing 36 ultra-fine RGBWW pixels inside of a 1-foot LED tube. The MT Pro produces incredibly smooth pixel chases and effects with the ability to transition between pixels at high speeds, making it practically impossible to distinguish between individual pixels with the naked eye.

Versatility

Built on the same foundational RGBWW technology as other professional fixtures, the MT Pro is fit for users who want precise pixel control, a compact multi-tool, or the ability to control the fixture’s full colour capabilities wirelessly. As a Mini Series fixture, the MT Pro can also be easily integrated into production design, hidden away from the camera, used for on-the-go content creation, product cinematography, or for close-up & practical lighting effects to bring your scene to life. The MT Pro allows you to instantly control the ambient lighting of your entire scene, bringing a versatile experience to all creators.             

Colour Fidelity

As a professional fixture, the MT Pro maintains impeccable colour quality throughout its wide CCT range of 2,000K to 10,000K with full green-magenta adjustment. And with a CRI of 95, TLCI of 98, SSI (D56) of 73, and an SSI (Tungsten) of 84, the MT Pro maintains Aputure’s high standards for colour fidelity to always produce accurate skin tones.

New Pixel FX

The MT Pro is equipped with 9 built-in System FX commonly found in full-colour Aputure and amaran fixtures, including Fireworks, Fire, Paparazzi, Faulty Bulb, TV, Pulsing, Cop Car, Lightning, and Party Lights, each with layers of variable control. Additionally, with 36 pixels packed into the MT Pro’s compact frame, users can unlock 7 built-in Pixel FX – including Colour Fade, Colour Cycle, One Pixel Chase, Two Pixel Chase, Three Pixel Chase, Rainbow, and Pixel Fire. By conveniently toggling through the MT Pro’s effects, you can exponentially simplify your workflow and open up new possibilities for creative control – without the need for complex programs.

Complete Colour Modes

For full creative freedom, the MT Pro features critical colour controls, including advanced HSI with white-point adjustability, industry standard xy (CIE 1931), and RGB tunability. Equipped with our proprietary RGBWW LED chipset for full-colour functionality, the MT Pro can also reproduce over 90% of the Rec.2020 Colour Space. The MT Pro allows you to have ultimate customization, control, and precision while bringing your shots to life.

Professional Connectivity

Whether connected remotely using LumenRadio CRMX, DMX/RDM, or directly through the Sidus Link mobile app, the MT Pro ensures seamless integration into your existing lighting workflow. Having the industry-standard LumenRadio CRMX chipset built into the MT Pro allows you to easily and reliably operate the compact fixture from a distance, making it the perfect hassle-free addition for you to freely unleash your creative lighting. Alternatively, you can control the MT Pro externally via wired DMX with the USB-C to 5-Pin XLR In & Out DMX Dongle.

The Sidus Link Ecosystem

The MT Pro is designed with Sidus Mesh technology to create an ecosystem of Aputure and amaran fixtures you can trust. With the constant evolution of Sidus Link, you can finely tune your output, select your coloor with pinpoint accuracy, and access a multitude of lighting FX including built-in System FX, SidusPro FX (including Manual FX, System FX, Picker FX, Magic Program, and Music FX), and even Pixel FX. With Sidus Link, you can directly control and synchronize every aspect of your light’s output – all in the palm of your hand.

Built-In Battery Operability

With the built-in 15.5Wh lithium-polymer battery, the MT Pro can operate at its max output for over 120 minutes, making it the ideal independent battery solution for agile shooting anywhere – whether in the studio or on location. In addition, the mini tube features a built-in USB Type-C charging port with an included charging cable, so you can recharge this multi-tool and get back to shooting within 2 hours.

Compact Design

The MT Pro’s powerful feature set is bundled into a compact design that provides additional versatility and control for untapped lighting potential. Designed with professionals in mind, the solid construction of the MT Pro maintains Aputure’s high standard for build quality while utilizing a lightweight, 391g aluminum frame. Its ultra-thin bezels and 180° aperture also blend seamlessly into any environment, making it perfect for in-camera practicals.    

Intuitive Mounting Solutions

The MT Pro’s built-in neodymium magnets and two 1/420 inch screw mounts allow the compact mini tube light to be mounted virtually anywhere. Whether the MT Pro is used as an in-camera practical that blends right into a scene, mounted right out of frame with a friction arm or mini tripod, or tucked away in an impossibly tight space, such versatile and intuitive options enable you to position the MT Pro anywhere your filmmaking takes you.

Enhance Your Workflow

The MT Pro also comes with an EVA-padded carrying case, complete with a mini tripod for quick and easy table-top setups or a sturdy grip, and a collapsible 45° grid for additional focus and control over your subject. These versatile accessories and mounting solutions complete your lighting set up with an all-in-one solution that speeds up your workflow and leads to you nailing the shot.
