Both are quintessential light shaping equipment for any serious Gaffer.
Did you realize how inefficient the F10 is on the 1200?
Stoked to watch. Been using my fresnel and adding some bigger LEDs shortly. Been trying to snipe bicolor versions.
@@NJRIII really does wonders for the 600!
this guys appearance makes it feel like it's a parody skit. or is it just me...
@@wongywongers maybe I’m AI generated? 😉
Your biggest complain is also my biggest complaint. It makes no sense the projector or the mount can't be rotated.
@@BrandonTalbot so dumb right?
Great video love your content. Have you seen the Godox SA-17? Very comparable to the Dedo projector attachment, according to Gaffer & Gear. My last video was on it actually, would love if you checked it out! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
@@dymonmein yes, the Godox projector is pretty much a straight copy of a dedo projector. The light they make for it leaves some to be desired, but the projector itself is great
@@dappergafferyeah. Did u check out the video? I’m a newer creator as well, and a gaffer out here in Phoenix, let’s connect. Maybe a collab or interview in the future? K HGD bud
I just discovered this light today so as a 60b II owner, what is the primary difference between the two? I've actually used the 60b II as a spotlight for a fashion show and i never felt like it was lacking. So im interested to see what the 60cr is doing more of.
@@o.f.ftrack3444 the 60CR is also full color. I believe the 60b II is a bi-color light correct?
@dappergaffer yeah it is. I could have sworn that it could do different colors as well.
Great Video , Love to see your Videos on RGB Lights Nanlite Alien 300C as well an Nanlite FC500C
@@BrandonPorsche thanks! I haven’t tried out either of those units yet. But I did see the Alien in development at NAB earlier this year and it certainly looks interesting.
@@dappergaffer Yes , Both units are out and available now. Since our work are mainly based in Middle East Nanlite has done a better job than other competitors here , Your videos are great , So I thought I should ask your opinion on those units , I own a production Studio in Fashion Photography and recently based on our Mood Boards I decided to include Videos for every part of our Editorial projects ... So the RGB Science has ultimately became crucial in our workflow .. Thank you so much for being kind enough to reply ...
Awesome!
7:18 new gaffer here. I disagreed re: apps, especially with the development of Sidus Link… until I needed more than a couple lights. That’s the top of the line manufacturers app, and it cant seem to handle 4 lights. 100xS, 60xS, and a PT4c worked fine. But once I added the 200xS, it started doing all your typical app BS (controlling the wrong head, or multiple heads, etc.) Any tips until I can afford a DMX setup?
If it is Spectrum C stand you're referring to at 2:40 in this clip then i must say it's not cheap as described. For most people, it works great and does exactly what it should but like you mentioned...your preference for other brands...
Wish the 240 version had that pop up softbox
Glad I found this channel
Thank you, Josiah! I recognized you from the many on set workshops from Shane’s site. Great stuff! Very valuable and humorous too. What I noticed is that you are very quick with changing the set-ups, which is super important on set. So wondering if you could share your knowledge how to quickly adjust c-stands (for instance more detail on where to place which hand when mounting a floppy or what to do with the knuckle so the flag slides into the hole right away, from which angle to insert the floppy, etc.) Basically how to get up to speed when setting up grip equipment. Thanks again, Matze
Hey @@JamonSerranoFilms, yes guilty as charged! That is me in Shane’s stuff. Filmmaker Academy is the best content for aspiring cinematographers you can get. Practice and familiarity certainly help with speed. Thanks for the feedback, we’ll consider C-stands part two 😁
Awesome video thank you so much. I like the sense of humor.😂
@@marctoya thank you sir
Amazing video, thank you 🙌🏽 Subscribed
The information is very valuable, thanks.
we need the updated beefy baby and mombo combos etc. video! Please tell me its coming
@@leafsnomore next video we’re working on is a light review - but thanks for the feedback, we’ll move it up the priority list! It’s been a busy summer
The video starts, and I think, "Oh look, he's got my C-stand there." A second later, "Don't buy this; this is bad". At least now I know how to use it properly hahaha.
@@setlam2 😆 sorry bro
'I 'm not gonna AndrewLocke this' 😂 The Aussie gets a reputation fir being thorough! What if you removed the factory diffusion and put a 4x or 2x3 like the studio setup?
@@gregzarkodimos9711 😂 I’m very glad he’s thorough. I think it’s certainly bright enough to diffuse with larger frames in some scenarios. But it is pretty directional without the diffuser, so I might be tempted to double break it. Put the half diffuser on the fixture itself maybe, and then push it through a larger frame
Thanks for this video. I wonder if it is possible to use Sirus Pro for Nanlite DMX control ? The LumenRadio CRMX is interesting. Can you get an user friendly iPad app for and control different light manufactures ?
@@amathma Sidus Link pro uses LumenRadio to control other manufacturers’ lights. Same with Blackout and Luminaire
@@dappergaffer awesome. Thanks for the reply.
What is the difference between x class and xr class?
@@يومياتمصورعراقي really the only difference is the addition of Lumen Radio. It is also the latest and current version. Also has a small engraving noting the center of gravity
If the orbiter had been three times the brightness it would still be relevant.
I tried out the skypanel X at arri on a test shoot for a feature, heres what i can say: -Its heavy. -The hyperoptics are impressive, i hate using the vortex naked, the shadows are just disgusting, the X i would absolutely use as a hard light, it also has crazy minimal spill coming of the lenses. However. It is NOT "as good as a fresnel fixture" but its close. -when using it as a soft light its not all that different from the vortex or even the old skypanel. -the new lightengine is great, amazing color -the crmx is very well done, even just the fact that it has legacy skypanel crmx profiles from the get go is awesome -its heavy.
@@xx1simon1xx great feedback, thanks for sharing
Great deep dive!
Muy útil. Gracias.
Gracias amigo
well...I bought the wrong stand and the cheap brand you showed. Thanks for the quick course.
Bummer, we’ve all made bad buys at one point or another 😉
I just discovered your channel. I'm heavily invested in the Creamsource ecosystem and YT suggested your Gemini vs Creamsource video. I love your content!
@@12yfilms thanks for the feedback! Creamsource makes some great units
Hi great review I have a question it is about 120C vs F22c which one you think is better Thx
@@wangkevin6258 thanks. I prefer the rigid form factor and incorporated Lumenradio of the PavoSlim line. Although the 240C is a more similar size to the F22c than the 120 is
Seriously the best c-stand tutorial on RUclips. So many of the other videos are teaching people to use c-stands the wrong way or are leaving out key information. Your video cleared up so many questions for me! One question I do have is that in the video you mentioned that while c-stands often carry heavier loads than a light, they are not light stands. I'm curious about the other uses of c-stands beyond what you covered here.
Thanks for the feedback! Primarily, they're used for holding flags, diffusion, and scrims. But I find them to be extremely versatile - possibly my most-used item on set. You can help other departments too. Holding set pieces or props for art dept, a makeshift clothing rack for wardrobe, rigging things for cam dept or even cameras themselves, holding sound blankets for sound dept, etc.. A real beauty about C-stands is the ability to hold something in just about any position in space - which is infinitely useful.
Don't stop doing theses plzzz
Thanks! What would you like to see more of?
I for one would LOVE to see more comparison videos, especially in the LED range. Fiilex vs Aputure vs Nanlux and etc etc. these are great for us DP’s that are now having to deal with so many manufacturers and infinite choices
Fantastic explanation on C stands.
I believe it's called a Stinger after it's creator, Alfred R. Stinger. Pronounced stin-jer.
For realz?
In jail, you make a “stinger” by cutting the cord off an appliance. Then you can cook with the ends by contacting them to a metal surface. You get shocked a lot during all this, hence the term “stinger.” Jodi is another jail word, which the military share. It’s not uncommon for jail words to cross reference into other lexicons, or vice versa.
@@dymonmein this seems like a plausible origin 😁
Great video Josiah. I do think theres definitely a point where really big cables get wrapped over-under again and that is when they get to big to hold in one hand while wrapping them. having them lay on the floor and just putting loops over-under on top of it is much easier and faster then trying to wrap them over-over with a cable you can't easily just untangle with a little flick.
Thanks for the comment. In my experience - heavier cables are always over-over in the film industry. However, you are correct that they would be wrapped laying on the ground. All the way up to 2/0
IMO it does make sense to bag the second leg facing away from the load to counter balance as a secondary measure after placing the first big leg under the load (provided the bag doesn’t touch the ground). It also serves a secondary function to counter any force pushing over the stand at a diagonal 45 between the leg orientations. Curious if you’ve found the above to be less effective than bagging the first big leg?
It would be interesting to do some quantifiable foot-pound measurements to see if that secondary leg is any more helpful the a second bag on the long leg. Physics can be surprising
This was entertaining and informative. Please keep em coming.
If you stayed till the end - you get a gold star
@@dappergaffer I couldn't resist. Also, 37:05 was hilarious and relatable. Glad you kept that in there. 😆
@@maddrummer900 😆
Great video, Josiah! It was a nice surprise to learn you had a channel. Will be tuning in more often for sure 😁
Thanks bro!
Now Neewer C-stand from China is the leading in the world.
😂
@@dappergaffer😂😂😂 I see what you did there
Where can I get these?
Nvm, I read the comments!
I don't work on a film set, and never anticipate having to use one of these. However, I found myself watching to the end.
Also applicable for household blankets 😁
Great content!
Thanks!
This was great. Can you provide a link for these particular sound blankets please.

Your burrito rolling skills are impressive, honorary Mexican card approved.
Achievement unlocked! 🌯
Now I don’t have to worry about embarrassing myself in front of the grips. This is awesome Josiah (and team). Such great communication, and dapper as ever.
Such a great video. Felt like I was watching the Ron Swanson of Gaffing.
😆
Loved this! Great job guys
Dude this was dope, thanks for sharing your knowledge! 😁
I have a few matthews with a little skinny knob above the base. Super easy to deploy. Don't see them often.
I know what you’re talking about, I’ve used them a few times. But don’t have any in my inventory
@dappergaffer loved your content for awhile, I'm on board. Keep up the good work. I'm certain you'll help me in my forays into video. Rented my Nanlites out today on set. Continuing to build
@@NJRIII Keep at it bro!
A good look indeed! Highly informational and entertaining! Great Content, looks awesome as well!
Thank you sir! That means a lot coming from a man of your caliber
Love your video now I just need to figure out how to use crmx
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions about CRMX
Great video! Are gaffers and theatres not using CRMX with a PC program for a preprogrammed show? I can see this as being useful for pixel mapping, sequences, fades...everything tablet and phone apps lack.
@@SpirosAbatis yes, Lumenair and Blackout are the primary I’ve seen. Although usually on an iPad. Grand MA probably more in live environments or episodic stage shows? As an owner op gaffer - a PC system would be pretty clunky for the type of work a lot of us do
