Question 2

Is MP-1 compatible with industry standards?

Accepted Answer

Panels, adapters, and light stand ball heads have the UNC ¼”-20 thread, which is the most popular thread in the photography and videography industry. The ball head is c-stand compatible. LED panels run by Sony NP-F batteries, which are the most common type of battery in small and medium power videography gear.

Question 3

What accessories come in a kit with modular panels?

Accepted Answer

MP-1 lights will come with a c-stand compatible ball head, modular bracket for bigger panel builds, custom arca swiss plate, lens array for the ability to modify the light beam to a more narrow-angle, DC adapter.

Additionally, we offer to get a light diffuser and also a grid cover for extended light control.

Question 4

What kind of batteries do you reccomend?

Accepted Answer

We strongly suggest using original Sony NP-F batteries, as Aptolux battery port is specifically designed for it.

Batteries do not come with MP-1 kit, as most videographers already have them at home. There is a DC adapter, if you do not have NP-Fs at home.

Question 5

Do different sets of MP-1 fit and work together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do. Every MP-1 panel is a fully functional standalone panel and does fit with any other MP-1 light panel. You can buy a couple of MP-1's now, and later on, get additional pieces, and they will always work together.

Question 6

Will MP-1 be wirelessly controlled?

Accepted Answer

We interviewed 100 videographers worldwide and received their insight about the most needed features of the MP-1 light panels. A wirelessly controllable light was among the least popular necessities. To keep the lights lightweight and the price as low as possible, we decided not to include a built-in wireless feature yet.

However, we are working on a wireless accessory to control MP-1 from your smartphone. It will fit with all the MP-1 panels in the future.
