Thanks so much for the great software. I can most likely do a 1 year or 2 year update!

Thanks!

BROOOOOOO i love you. It is an honor for you to be first!!

@@drewromano6324 We are all just RUclips bums! Editing my next vlog while distracting myself with your video! I appreciate your support!

@@PDMokry this is truth. and thank you man!

Yes….yes I did I needed the extra bump with the aputure 600d. So to replicate the exact same look I did the exact same setup

I didn’t test the accuracy of the temperature but skin accuracy seems to be on point. And output is very close…. I think I’ll do a temp test soon

@@drewromano6324 Output isnt close. Not from the professional tests I've seen. And skin accuracy isnt a thing. You need to test the color accuracy of the light. But enjoy your little channel. It's cute.

@@_FrontFootFilms_I’m sure you have used a vector scope before. And I’m sure you have noticed that in different lighting situations you get different skin accuracy. So really what was tested here was the CRI. Meaning how true to life the colors look. Color temperature has nothing to do with Color Rendering Index. I tested CRI and in my tests using tools that give you accurate reedings the light performed well. Meaning that an apple will look like an apple. Or skin will look true to life. So at 5600k the CRI was just as accurate as aputure in some cases. Btw I am an aputure fan boy. I don’t care about brand tho. I care about use case.

@@drewromano6324 - Agreed. I remember when GVM was something you wouldn't throw at a dog, but they've upped their game (not as "significant" as some other brands, but much better than they used to be) and seem to realize if you put out a decent product you will sell more. I stayed away from GVM for years because of their poor quality, but last year when I needed a 300 watt single source light, and I don't have the money for Aputure, I looked at reviews of the SD300S and SD300D. I was interested in the single hue light (5600) because I look to get the most brightness out of a light possible, and I have gels if needed. From the reviews I read (mostly) and some of the review videos I saw quality was still somewhat hit or miss, but if you hit you did not have any problems. Last year there was a great sale on the light for $300. I got it, and when it arrived I tested it at 100% for 2 hours, and there was no problems, and it looked great. It has been very useful over the past year. The GVM SD600S just arrived TODAY. I will be running it through the same 2 hour test to make sure everything functions as expected. It was on Amazon new for $459, and also had a $100 coupon to take down even more. I suspected GVM may be looking to move these lights in order to focus attention on their newer Pro line, and I think I was right. Hopefully GVM will continue to improve and provide even better equipment while still offering a worthwhile savings. BTW, most all my other lights are Amarans, including 60d, 100d, 200x and P60C. I am a fan of Aputure as well, and appreciate their Amaran line.

So does GVM. The Sidus App that Aputure uses states in the Privacy Policy that the app will access your web browsing history on your phone. That's a deal breaker for me. To just turn the brightness up or down with my phone does not REQUIRE my web browsing history be sent to Sidus. I stopped reading after that.

Isn’t that how it always goes ?? Lol

A tale as old as GAS 😅

Yes I agree, seeing these 2 are similar in price I wanted to compare. Because GVM has bi color and aputure doesn’t.

Aputure has bicolor and multi color the 600x, and 600c mark ii

Agree with you. This are always getting cheaper and better.

Daylight fixture vs bicolor fixture....

😂

Yes just like any other light!! can you believe it??

Thanks man !

This wasn’t in depth. No metering done anywhere. And it’s not even apples to apples to start with.

Could not agree more. When you start introducing plastic knobs and connectors rentals houses will not pick those up. For local production companies freelancers owner operators I feel this light is a fantastic option.

😂😂😂😂 why would a rental house buy a buget light 😂😂😂😂 almost anyone can afford to buy these lights. 😂😂

People buy budget gear. They don't rent it from rental houses 😂. GVM The company is designed by film students for budget filmmakers and film students..... Not rental houses😂😂

You have to look at it from a rental house perspective because he's comparing it to a rental house ready lighting fixture. He's not comparing 2 budget lights here.

@@recardosands9948 aperture lights are prosumer lights tho. They're just on the higher end of the spectrum than GVM And the price reflects that...

Yea I’ve been a fan of warm back light lately

To be honest I am forgetting at the moment. But I was at Lowe’s and found some decently priced pipe. I really just shopped around. I plan on breaking down the components in a video soon

I have a very old Dakine backpack... i want to say Marcus has the Peter Mckinnon backpack. both very solid. As for the 5 in 1 it is this one.. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1542348-REG/impact_crk_4272_g_5_in_1_collaps_reflector_42x72.html

I actually plan on doing that somewhat soon!

VERY good advice!

good old 20" c stands!!!!!!!!

Yes the 35 1.4

All the frames look fantastic

They are amazing

Thanks so much!

So it was just a normal luggage case for cloths. I’d say it’s about a 3 x 2

Yes this one is much better. It can for sure stand the test of time. Making one soon!

Thank you!

Thanks so much really appreciate it man

I KNOW 😂

you the OG !!!!

Harbor Freight!

Great to hear!

Thanks so much!

So that is something worth bringing up. Sometimes you run into problems and they want you to check a bag. They don’t want you bringing both backpack and pelican. In this case I usually have cargo pants on. I can put lenses and breakables in there. As long as the gear isn’t too big. Or jacket pockets. But I usually figure out a way to check a bag and take out breakables

@@drewromano6324 thanks for answering. I'ts been a hassle for me because sometimes, even when they specify that devices with integrated non removable batteries can be in checked luggage, they make take it with me so they take more space. Sometimes I have gotten away with that: say that you have batteries and devices with batteries in the bag. Ultimately I travel with a 36L backpack and a 17 inch laptop bag, with the ronin, some batteries, and misc stuff. That has saved me from checking anything recently!

You never really know what TSA is gonna do lol. But rule of thumb for me is so pack batteries in carry on bags always. Breakables come with me or in cargo pants if needed. Or I just hold them in my lap. NEVER check breakables unless you want them broken.

@@drewromano6324 Are you saying that you pack v-mount batteries which contain Lithium ION cells into your checked baggage that goes under the plane with no way to get to them in case of a spontaneous explosion?

@@scottjohnson3017 ... Ahhhh my bad lol nooo they go in the cabin with me. They dont allow them to be checked.

Yo id love to chat. Hit me up on instagram and lets talk about how we can link up! @drewromano

@@drewromano6324 will do!

You are amazing!

For sure!

Thank you! the brand of the water weight bags is (Anavim)

Thanks bro!!!

❤

🎉

Absolutely. thanks for the comment!

straight up stole it from you. I plan on stealing alot of things from you LOL

@@drewromano6324 I need better security! lol

It might take me an hour to setup everything. But If I am solo I always let the client know the timeframe. And they are almost always ok with it. At the end of the day you are putting in more of your time on their project. So in theory they should love that lol. But as long as you communicate there is no stress

@@drewromano6324 yeah it's always good to let know the client in advance. On one shoot the client had a lower budget than I expected so I took out some deliverables and reduced the shoot hours to half. At the end I was kicking myself because it was really impossible to do within those hours so I ended up working in the production almost the same I time I have proposed the client at the start. 🤦
