Very informative - well done. No fancy music, no animations. I like it a lot!
I've heard you can run into problems with bi color lights and artifacts, my light is a round COB led , bi color, with alternative stripes of warm and cool cathodes, should i steer clear of this product?
Does the fresnel increase the light output at all?
do you think can work with amaran 200d? Aputure will now the best because cut off a lot of light
It does not work with panels, only single led. As far as I know.
@@nitsan aputura amaran 200d is a single hard led source :D Like 120d just a little bigger the diameter. This is why i asked. :D
"Impact" seem to make an exact example, bought one from B&H recently. Thanks for the informative video.
Hey Nitsan, I hope you are well bru, thank you for the wonderful in-depth review of the NG-10x.
Just wanted to ask you a quick quetion man which is, is there a way to after mounting this onto the light (via the Bowens connector) is there any way of getting a softbox on it?
we would probably need another bracket for this, right?
Cheers.
Hugh
Hey. There is no point putting a softbox over this. They don't work together.
I saw these attachments on eBay, and thought they look nice and I wanted to test them some time. Looks like I'm getting one when I have an appropriate lamp, thanks :)
You mentioned small lines possible depending on the shape of the LED or COB light. Did you notice the lines more prevalent with a square LED?
If your led has a square cob it makes square of light. Only noticeable if you are shining on a flat wall. How often would you need to do that?
Excellent review! I've watched a few other reviews about the Fresnel lens. When they compare it with the grids, they somehow forgot to factor in the effect of the reflector :-)
Tried to buy from that link but they won't ship outside of the US. Found a supplier in eBay UK and have bought for £24.95 delivered. I've been thinking about this piece of kit for a while but your vid persuaded me.
Ah, cool, thanks, I'll add an eBay link for outside the US.
Thank you
More great info thanks. I'm going to have to invest in continuous lights soon and you're doing the best most relevant reviews around. Thanks!
Glad you like them. :)
unfortunately the fresnel is not available in the UK unless you know otherwise?
Hi Nitsan, thanks for the quick review, very useful info as I'm trying to find a fresnel lens for my pixapro too.
Have you played with the Pixapro Optical Snoot and the PIXAPRO Fresnel Spot Box Spotlight Projector (listed on essentialphoto website). I'd love to see a review of those two with the LED100D.
By the way, what are the new features of the LED100D mark II ? Do you plan to post a review of those ?
Thank you man !
+Etienne Hb Hey, I've not tried them, but I will if I can.
And the Pixapro mark II is a bit quieter and has better color accuracy, and a bit smaller and lighter, but overall it's the same, no need to upgrade.
+Nitsan Simantov Cool, thank you for the info on the mk II. I'll probably have to invest in a new pixapro soon, so it might be interesting to know more about its CRI, new features and price. I'll stay tuned for the review !
Great review. Just bought some. Can you tell me if and where the barndoors for these may be available? I have seen them on the nuangang led units but can't find them available to purchase by themselves. Thanks
+scz67 I'm not sure, sorry. The ones I know of connect to the Bowens mount, not on top of the fresnel lens.
Hey Nitsan, I don't suppose you know where you can buy these in the UK right now? I don't want to wait for ever for shipping from Asia.
Also: What lens did you use to take the photo on your website home page? !!!! It looks like the most maddest bokeh monster ever. My 85mm is good but doesn't even come close to that shallow a depth of field at that distance. Did you do it in post?
Hey.
Happy to sell you mine if you want. I won't need it for a while so I'll order myself another from China.
That's a bokehrama made using a 5d3 and Samyang 85mm. :)
+Nitsan Simantov That would be awesome! Thank you. Via eBay? I'll email you
I have a 5d3 and the Samyang 85. Looking up bokehrama now...
Nitsan, your Amazon link shows it as out of stock but there seems to be a different supplier (same fresnel) from Fotga. I may try the Fotga one because I have 5 Alzo 3000's and would like to be able to focus a hot spot on my background. I'll update here how it turns out.
Cool
Did you purchase one of the Fotga attachments? It has a couple of reviews claiming it doesn't fit into the Bowens mount properly.
a few months ago I bought 2 of the pixapro 100D lights after I watched your review. what are the changes you notice (if any) on the mark 2 version?
Hey. Not a huge difference. Small improvements to color quality, etc.
What do you think of the bowens barn door attachments (Fotodiox has one on Amazon) vs this?
I'll review it soon. not ideal and can cause loads of color fringing with some lights.
QUESTION: Would it work with the Yongnuo YN100 ?
Thanks for the review! Thumbs up!
yes it should work fine as far as i know.
What are the gels made of? Will it be able to handle the heat from a 500watt or 600 watt LED?
no idea sorry
How does the nanguna fresnel comes in the package its just inside the box or in between the frenel and the box has something to soft any impact?
Hi and many thanks for the video : does it work with speedlites as Godox TT685 for instance or only for studio lights ?
I imagine it would work fairly well but I've not tried it.
Hey I’m new to photography, wanted to know if you know how I can change my warm modeling light to a bright day light on the Godox QS400 II? Because if I turn it on as is, it emits a yellow light, unless I flash it. I want to emit a constant white light. I saw a video on a fresnel nanlite forza500 and it’s continuous lighting is beautiful. I want to change moonlight into that white fresnel lighting, can you help?
I don't think it's worth the effort if there isn't a white bulb easily available for that light. Just get a nice 60w video light with a Bowens fit. Gonna be way better than a modelling light. Pixapro make a nice looking one for cheap.
@@nitsan thanks, I found led bulbs that are bigger and has a larger hub cover, I will try them out, is it ok to replace with led when it’s not led to begin with? As long as it’s within the wattage limit and fits?
@@AMBD90 You would need to ask the manufacturer. I assume their answer will be no if it's not something they designed their product to use. Without seeing it I couldn't even guess, but I would say don't do it if there is a risk of damaging your equipment. Not worth it. Best to just buy a video light. You could even sell your flash lights and just use continuous lighting for both stills and video. With a fast shutter speed you can even do high speed photography if the light doesn't flicker. I did this in one of my videos with the pixapro lights. Had no problem going to 1/8000 shutter. I personally don't even bother buying flashes anymore, as I don't need their super high output for use outdoors. In the studio continuous lights are actually awesome for most types of photography. Selling your kit and buying a good set of video lights is much easier than damaging your equipment and having nothing at all.
Hello ! Thanks for the video, do you have an idea of the weight of this lens ? I wanna try and mount it on a drone and every gram counts, Thank you
not sure sorry.
Would you recommend this over an optical snoot like the ambitful al-16?
no idea sorry
I know this is an old video, but could you attach barn doors to this? Does it work with the 120dii?
Ok this will not work on the 120d... but I’d still like to find some barn doors. It seems that neewer used to manufacture some that would fit, but have since changed the model. If anyone could chime in, that’d be great. I think the diameter of this is just over 5 inches but I don’t have one to measure... let me know if anyone could help.
not sure sorry.
Do you know if there is any way to attach to it barn doors?
try cine foil. It's a sort of multi purpose light shaper. Not exactly barn doors but should have the same effect.
I just got it after your review, shame that my led does leave many artefacts around, and it don't looks like it making light stronger perhaps is my led :(
+Carl Bertossi What light are you using it with?
Does it work with the Godox sl-60w
it should work with any single-bulb light with a bowens mount
Thank you :)
Do you know of gobos that works with a bowens mount?
Hey. There are several but i've not tried them.
I have the Spiffy Light Blaster with an adapter they make for video lights.
It's great, but designed for a photography flash so isn't ideal for a video light because it reduces the brightness a lot. Still it works and has some great slides both in colour and as simple cutouts.
Thanks bro... I seen that have universal adapter for the Bowens g however it looks to have lot of light spills everywhere
Okay. I've not looked into any of them. Was the test done with a standard shiny bowl reflector? That might cause an issue with getting good contrast.
yes shiny may of caused the issue
Is there a way to put barn doors on this?
I'm sure there is a way, but I don't know of a specific product that has a ready connection to this.
Thanks. I'll keep searching.
Love your videos!
I found something called the Fotodiox Universal Barndoor Kit. I think it may work.
Thanks.
And good find, looks like it might fit.
What is your favorite low-cost stabilizer at the moment?
+100PROZENT Glidecam HD1000
Nitsan Simantov thanks man!
Do like these lighting videos of yours.
Thanks!
Will it work with profoto or Excalibur?
Mine was in bowens mount. You need to buy one with the correct mount for your lights.
will it work with godox sl 150/60/200w ?
I think so. I've not tried that light but it should work with all single-LED lights with a Bowens mount.
thanks for sharing this.
Is this better than the Aputure dito?
I tried to google but I cannot find such a thing.
Does the zoom have a lock if I'm outside in the wind?
I am not aware of any wind that would rotate this.
that pixapro 100d mkII sounds too quiet
+broncojonnes yeah, comes very quiet from the factory.
Hey Nitsan,
Have you done a review of DOF LED 1000? I've tried to look on your channel but can't find it. How does it compare to the Pixapro?
Cheers,
Hey. Trying to edit that tonight. It's a good light, but it has some issues.
Hello. I'm trying to find out what the diameter of the lens is.....
