Aputure Amaran 60c
RGBWW in a palm-sized fixture — hair light, travel key, or accent.
$139
Why it's in the kit
The Key Light Airs are the studio foundation, but they stay mounted. The 60c goes with me — it's the accent light for a backlit interview on location, the color wash on a hotel wall, or the quick fill that fits in the laptop pocket. RGBWW means I can dial any color temperature or hue without gels.
How I run it
Hair light with a small softbox on a lightweight stand behind the subject. RGB mode for background washes on stream — the kind of color the Key Lights can't do. Travels in the Peak Design Field Pouch.
What I almost bought
- SmallRig RC 60B — Dual-voltage but bi-color only — no RGB for creative washes.
Skip it if
If you only shoot in a fixed studio with permanent lighting, the Key Lights already cover you.
Strengths
- + RGBWW with green-magenta correction — full creative control
- + Bowens-mount compatible — fits existing modifiers
Trade-offs
- − Fan noise is noticeable in dead-quiet recording rooms
