Question 1

What are the power supply options for aptolux MP-1?

Accepted Answer

Each panel has a Sony NP -F battery bay and a 12V AC plug. An optional d-tap adapter expands the power supply options.

Power is shared between panels. Only one plug or battery can power each build. For larger builds, more than one battery is needed as one would discharge quickly.

Question 2

What are the MP-1 mounting options?

Accepted Answer

Each MP -1 has 4x 1/4" threads, making it suitable for mounting industry standard accessories. A 1/4" to light stand adapter will be included in the kit.

For larger and heavier setups, a folding bracket (yoke) is a great option and is included in the medium and full kit.

Question 3

Are there light modifiers fitting for MP -1?

Accepted Answer

Each panel has a magnetic diffusion cover included for softening the light.   An optional lens array cover helps to narrow the light angle and increase falloff.   An optional grid (honeycomb, egg crate ) helps control light spill.   An optional adapter allows the use of umbrellas and umbrella-type softboxes with MP -1.

Question 4

Do I need to change the settings for each MP -1 panel if multiple panels are connected?

Accepted Answer

When you connect two or more panels together, they become a single unified panel and are controlled as such. Each MP -1 panel controls the entire setup.

Question 5

Is MP-1 wirelessly controllable?

Accepted Answer

MP-1 video light panels do not have built-in BlueTooth or Wi-fi.

We are working on a small Bluetooth adapter that can make any MP-1 panel or the entire setup available for wireless control via a remote or app. We plan to make it available in late 2022.
