For those with android and have problem connecting with the mc, I myself got 2 of them and tried to connect again n again last week on my shooting day but failed, even after I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Kinda gave up on apps but today I tried reinstalling it again and allow all access for the apps (apps will ask for permission to first timer user). Before that make sure your Bluetooth and location is turned on. Works well after. Some features sync, some randomized. So far am satisfied. Hope this helps those who are looking for solution.
1. Make sure Bluetooth and location switched on.
2. Allow all access to apps for first time user.
3. Make sure to reset the BT on the MC itself before connecting it to apps.
Cheers!
Thank you! Couldn't find an answer elsewhere and you saved me some time. This works. Give the app all the permissions.
And that's twisting of hands Aputure! Or a bug. Either way, fix it. Not cool.
@@3.14rat2 Glad it helps. Took me quite some time to figure it out but yeah, anyway still love the features in the apps tho.
Cheers! 😊😊😊
@@muhdfaizrosli4367 still does not work for me 😔
Thank you so much! All I had to do was turn on location and it worked immediately!
Set location on, that's such a live saver, thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! The app looked so confusing to me but after watching this I can’t wait to play around with the settings.
Thanks for this! I've scheduled a review of Aputure lights and put your video link down as a reference for anyone needing guidance on the app. I'm so hooked on these lights!
Thank you Scott! I just got these lights and had no clue how to get them up and running. Super helpful video.
Awesome! Glad I could help :) I've been meaning to make an add-on video since the app was updated so hopefully I can get around to that soon
Better than the aputure tutorial. Thx man.
That was a supper helpful demo, thanks!
Man thanks so much for making this. The light is great but I found setting it up with the app pretty challenging. Cheers Good Sir!
Scott , thanks for an excellent overview of the Sidus Link s/w. I just bought an MC and downloaded the SIdus Link app however the app is not very intuitive so your video really helped! Cheers!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Sehr gut erklärt. Vielen Dank Scott. Hätte sonst nicht so richtig durchgesehen beim Setup.
Great video! Thanks for the help. It was a little confusing until I found your video. A "Must Watch" for new Aputure users.
Thank you for this. I specifically needed to see what you can do with the fire effect so this very helpful!
Thanks Scott - Great instructional Video and through enough for me to get the features without going overboard into boring details.
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear that :)
Very nice walk-through my man. Great job! Just got numero uno.
Awesome! Thank you! :)
Great coverage of the Aperture MC Sidus app. Thank you for making this video.
really great tutorial, thanks man. What a great app this is. I'm loving playing with it
Thanks that was helpful Scott. Have a nice day.
Great video! Mines should be coming in today! I can’t wait to try it out!! This definitely gives me a good insight on what to expect from the app.
Enjoy it!! :)
That's an amazing video! Thanks a lot! Didn't know that the light had so many cool features and effects! I guess now I know what's gonna be my next lighting purchase!
It really is incredible how much it can do! It feels like common sense to allow all that control of things like SFX, but I haven't seen anything close to this with any other light in this category :)
Great video. Has anyone had issue where the lights stop working when you plug into A/C power? The Sidus app has no problem controlling the lights while they are on battery power but the controls go dead once you plug the MC light into USB-C power.
I forgot to mention I'm using two lights
Thank you! Followed along step by step. Super happy with this light and this app. Noticed that the Random setting was missing for most of FX but one. Might be an android thing
Glad it helped :) I've been meaning to look into the newly updated version of the Sidus link... seems to have a lot more capability especially with multi light setups. Should be fun! :)
Best tutorial for this light out there!
This was extremely helpful... thank you for making it so easy to follow you and figure this little light out and how to use the phone ap... now, I like it lol ;)
Glad it was helpful! :)
you are really wonderful , the app makers should really point their custiomers to your youtube for seting up or they should give you a big reward :-)
This was an extremely helpful walkthrough, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching :)
Great video. Just wish you showed a wall bouncing the light instead of the light itself.
Please Help
I purchased Aputure MC and downloaded the
Aputure Sidus Link
app
Then I put the email and send a code to the email that I put in the application, but it does not respond and does not accept the code
Huawei Pro 30 phone
The phone's language is Arabic, then I switched it to English, and the same problem also appears
Please help me with the solution
I have followed the steps for installing/ making a scene. So far, so good. When I start up the next day , I always get the message thar it can`t reconnect. And I must start from the top and install all over again. Help would be appreciated
Great demo! Is there a way to use separate colors on one AL-MC or are they all the same, all the time? (e.g. half red, half green)
Thanks! They can only use 1 color per unit... but you could put 2 side by side if you need that sort of effect
Thank you for this thorough walkthrough.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the great video. I’m wondering if the 120d ii can be connected to the App? There does not seem to be a Bluetooth setting. Appreciate any feedback
Hi! I believe that Aputure just announced their new wireless add-on system that will make older lights like the 120dii compatible... I haven't had a chance to look into it much yet though
@@ScottDumas thank you!
Nice review! If I put two or more AL-MC lights into a "group", will they be synchronized for the same color, intensity, and effects? I would like to have multiple AL-MC cycling through the party light effect, and displaying the same colors simultaneously. Do you know if the Sidus app will do this?
It should! I only have one myself but I saw 4 of them doing exactly that at InterBEE and according to Aputure that should work just fine :)
Congratulations on the video! Very good! Wanted to know if the led works while charging?
Thanks so much! It does! It was actually charging while I filmed this video haha :)
Very helpful, thanks for sharing 👍
Really clear video, thank you!!
Thanks buddy, excellent video.
Amazingly clear! You're great.
Glad it was helpful!
Well explained and recorded, thanks a lot :')
My phone died while it was using bluetooth connected to the aperature mc light and now the light just wont connect wont turn on womt do nothing when i turn it on no option to connect no light coming out nothing
How can I use two B7c simultaneously with the app
If you want them to have the same settings, you can create a group and add them both to it.
Super helpful - thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
Hey dude, I have two of the MC lights now. Not sure if you've got two, but have you noticed that when doing lighting effects, they are not in sync with one another? Eg, grouping two lights together and using paparazzi/lightening etc, they will not fire at the same time.
Hey! I only have one actually so haven't noticed that, but I should be able to try out a few at InterBEE later this week so I'll be sure to check that. If you reset the bluetooth on the device and reconnect from scratch does it still have the problem?
@@ScottDumas Did you ever get around to testing this? I've had the same issue and resetting the Bluetooth doesnt fix it. Cheers
@@pj5576 Hi! I did actually ask about it at InterBEE, sorry for not replying sooner... and if resetting all the bluetooths, deleting them from the app and then reconnecting them all at the same time doesn't help, I'd say contact Aputure about it.
With Aputure 200d going into effects I can start/stop effect but going back to fixture and adjusting slider effect still on...So, how do you turn off effects?
I had the same issue. What I discovered was after using an effect like say faulty bulb, then stop it, go to the white tab and turn the light on there, the faulty bulb effect came back, I then by chance changed the colour temp and hey presto the faulty bulb effect stopped. Bizarre but it works. Hope this works for you too. Cheers Andy
can i use this as desk lamp for live streaming? like keeping it always powered, on for like 4 hours daily, and turn off and on via phone
Maximilian Y. I have used it for long periods of time plugged in, but you’ll probably want to cut power with the physical switch to avoid it draining power unnecessarily.
Very helpful, thanks so much
Thank you for this video it was very useful and it worked on android just fine
Thanks for watching! And glad to hear it :) They've added a few new fun features as well so I want to try and make an update to this as soon as I can :) Cheers!
I have the Aputure B7c, and a Oneplusnord phone. After a lot of hazzel I got it connected. I signed out and started up again today, and it`s all gone. O cant get connection, it`s stops at 99 % and say that pairing failed. I have tried everything, but it just won`t connect again. I have turned thing on and off, uninstalled and reinstalled, restarded the phone. Nothing works
These B7c's are frustrating. I had the same issue, but found if I plugged the light into a live power supply ie lamp lampholder the B7c would then pair to its 100%, so my guess is if the battery is too low on power there might be enough to allow the app to detect it, but not enough to do a successful paring. Hope this helps. Cheers Andy
very helpful, thank you!
My God! Thank you for this video! Super helpful!!
Quick question - I'm facing constant disconnection with my Android (Pixel 3 XL) and the MC. How do I troubleshoot that? It did connect, and does one time if I restart the app, but after any one action/change to the setting it disconnects. Really frustrating.
Any help would be super appreciated! Thanks a ton!
Hey sorry to hear that. I'm not sure about that phone specifically but my first recommendation would be to reset the bluetooth on the light itself (one of the choices in the menu like changing from CCT to SFX), then re-register it in the app from scratch. Hopefully that helps but if not maybe get in touch with someone at Aputure and see if it's a known problem with the Pixel itself or if there's a chance it's a faulty unit.
@@ScottDumas Will do! Thanks man! I tried resetting. It happened again, but this time connected again when I tried. So I have no idea what's happening. It's also literally just out the box. So will play around a little more and see if anything I'm doing makes a difference.
@@GauravAreng Hope you get it worked out!
Awesome video. Thank you.
Can multiple devices control the same fixture such as Aputure Nova 300C? Lets say in a production, will different users witth their own phone or Ipad be able to control the same fixture/light?
Clean tutorial, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
amazing! thanks!!
Thanks mate !
Hello
Great Video, but is this app only for IOS?
I have Android System, i find no Apps for my System! Have a idea?
THX!
Hi! At the moment I think it is not yet available but they're working on it so hopefully soon. Not sure of their timeline but I do trust it will be released sooner than later :)
@@ScottDumas
Great thankz man! 👍🏼 Hope so!!
So no beat pad thing that tim was mentioning?
Uhm... I'd have to run through the app again to be sure, but there is the ability to tap trigger the lightning, for example. Not sure if that's what you mean?
Can it do Morse code?
No battery status indicator per light?
No morse code unfortunately, and I have it plugged in here so it shows AC power but usually it does show the battery level there instead.
very helpful, thank you :))
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you!!
How to synchronise 2 lightings together?
You can create a group to put them in and control them together
@@ScottDumas how do I do that?
Thank youu 👍👍
Mine doesnt want to connect with my phone... I can find it under the bluethooth settings but the app wont find it...
I'd suggest trying to reset the bluetooth on the light itself (one of the options when switching modes), then try again from scratch. Hope that helps!
Hey, did you figure it out? Mine does the same. Checked everything is fine but still wont show up in the app.
@@ujjwalvadhani4941 I reinstalled the app a few times and suddendly it worked. But not at the first try. Maybe it had to drain before.
@@ScottDumas And thank you for your help (Y)
@@seelyw.4818 okay I will try draining it before I try again. I reinstalled app several times and it still isn't working. Thanks for helping!
thank you man
My pleasure!
Mine just simply won't connect. Thankfully you can control the stuff from the light itself so no big deal.
Sorry to hear that. I'd try resetting the bluetooth on the light itself if you haven't yet. If that still doesn't work try and let Aputure know and they should be able to get you sorted out
@@ScottDumas how do you reset it on the light?
@@Clovenlife One of the options in the menu where you change from CCT to RGB mode is for resetting the bluetooth. I can't recall exactly what it says without the light in my hand at the moment, but if you scroll through those options you should see it in there.
Tx super helpful
Happy to help
super demo man
Thanks so much!
Android App just out. Give it all autorizations, or it will not work (even if position needed seems weird )
Helped me set up my light. The instructions with the light were not very helpful. lol
Haha, glad it helped! I've been meaning to make an addendum to this lately since the app was updated with a few new features. Hopefully soon!
This app is horrendous...
Glad my AL-MC works without this garbage.
Well explained and recorded, thanks a lot :')
Thank you!
Thank you !!
