For years, MC's have been my favorite lights as well, and I've got a 120ii, 300ii, 600x, among other lights. The MC's are just so useable and effortless to setup. They're incredible accent lights.
I wish I could say I love them. I like mine and I am glad I bought one of them before buying the kit. I have the original MC kit and some separate MCs. I only use the MC Pro for an eye light and that is it. What I love about the MC Pro: Output, Magnetic Modifier Accessories and that is it. The kit for the MC Pro looks great because it has all the modifiers where the original didn't come with modifiers for each light (really a mistake on their part in my opinion. What makes me choose the MC 95% of the time over the MC Pro? The weight, and not really the weight of the MC Pro but the lack of magnetic support for the weight of the MC Pro. I can stick the MCs anywhere and they will stay put and hold. The MC Pros magnets are too weak for the weight of the light. The magnetic ball head is great if it would hold. The magnets on the back of the MC Pro would be great if they would hold. I can't believe Aputure released these lights with such a weak magnet. They had to get feedback on this before releasing this light. It makes these lights unusable without a stand. I can stick the MCs on a c stand, a door jam, a window sill and the MCs will hold tight. The MC Pro will barely hold on or fall. More output doesn't matter if you can't use it.
Great video! Thank you for this Walter!
