At NAB 2022, Aputure has shown a prototype of its new MC Pro. This is essentially a brighter, high-quality version of the existing Aputure MC.
Aputure is clearly segmenting its products into two categories now, Pro and regular. We have seen them do it with the Light Storm series and now the MC.
The MC Pro is a small-sized (108 x 70 x 25mm 225g) 7W RGBWW fixture that is claimed to be 3x brighter than the current MC. Aputure states an output of 1,346 lux at a distance of 50cm / 19.68″.

The MC Pro is claimed to use the same RGBWW technology that is found in the Nova series, and LS 600c Pro.
It will come with a magnetic accessory mount, flat diffuser, curved diffuser, 30° honeycomb grid, and a ball head with magnetic attachment. Just like with the current MC, the MC Pro will also be available in an 8-light charging kit.
There is no indication of pricing or availability and is this is still a prototype it could take quite some time before we see it available to purchase.
