Today we check out the Aputure Mini20D and Mini20C Light kit! To see the lights in action, jump to 9:23 were I show you three lighting setups using these 3 LED fresnel video lights.
Aputure Mini20 Light Kit
Available at Aputure, Amazon and B&H. You can also purchase a single light on Aputure’s store here.
PROS
- Fantastic spot/flood fresnel lens
- Easy to get sharp light cuts with the barn doors
- Bright
- Tons of included power options and accessories
- Small and easy to travel with
CONS
- Fans are a little noisy
- The daylight lights are 7500K
- Battery plates are external to light
- Plastic body build
- Slight edge color distortion depending on angle
FINAL THOUGHTS
Perfect lights for anything other than a key light. Yes, you could use them as a key light, but they aren’t quite bright enough to pull that off.
I love these for backgrounds, hair/rim and other areas of a scene I want to highlight.
So far, I have not worked with an LED that spots or cuts as well as these due.
