FAQ

Does the 12-light kit include accessories for every light?

It includes 4 silicone rubber diffusers, 4 coldshoe ball heads and 8 adhesive mounting pads. Aputure lists the MC 8-Light Accessory Kit as a match for this kit if you want accessories for all twelve lights.

Are extra MC diffusers sold separately?

Yes. Aputure sells the MC Silicone Rubber Diffuser, the MC Single Accessory Pack and the MC 8-Light Accessory Kit for the MC.

Can I use an MC while it charges?

You can, but Aputure's manual says charging is slow when the light is on; switch the MC off for the fastest charge. Do not close the case lid while the case is on or charging, to prevent overheating.

Can the case charge from a D-Tap battery on location?

Yes. The case accepts 12-16.8V DC through its D-Tap input, and a D-Tap to D-Tap cable is in the kit. Aputure's manual says the case can draw up to 150W with all pads and USB ports active, so use a battery that can supply that.
