    Hi Gerald, I own both lights now, the Boling P1 and the Aputure MC. I found out that the Aputure even at 100% saturation and brightness does have always lighter colors than the Boling. The white LEDs don't shut off in color mode, so you never get the intense color of the Boling. You are right that the Boling isn't accurate under 50% brightness, but this is a clear disadvantage to the Aputure that you'll never get such clean saturated colors.

Kasey is so cute when he has to interact with other people, though :D

      @stevekdigitalworx 4 года назад

      @@geraldundone yes, the F7. I don't have anything to compare it too, but it's color temp says 2500 to 9000 and is also finicky when dialing the intensity. It's got 20 special modes. About half are similar, but at different speeds. I got the package with the diffuser and honeycomb. They make a pretty big difference, but the fit isn't very elegant. Like a too big condom.
      No app control. Which I really think that is the biggest plus for the aperture. If I remember from what I saw at NAB, you can set different channels for each and really get the disco going on.

  • @BoyBlessing
    @BoyBlessing 4 года назад

    Gerald, I absolutely love your channel. The quality of information you provide on your channel is like no other. Thank you for that! But I do wanna say this to all of my fellow filmmakers out there... All you need to make a cinematic image is 1 light, and something to diffuse that light with. That is it. You do not need every new light or camera that comes out. There are too many wannabe filmmakers that upgrade their camera every time a new one is released. That buy a new light every time a new one with a ton cool features is released. Do not be this guy. You are wasting your money. Pick up the camera you have, turn on your 1 light, put diffusion in front of it, and SHOOT. It is as simple as that my friends. Do not let these company selling all these different products fool you. All of these master cinematographers are striving to use the least amount of lights they possibly can & doing everything they can to soften the digital image. Not make it sharper. They are using soft lenses as opposed to sharp lenses, they are putting Tiffen SOFT FX diffusion filters on their lenses, they are softening the light. They are doing everything they can to soften the image to get rid of that digital look. That is what makes it cinematic. You don’t need 4K, you don’t need full frame, you don’t need the sharpest lens, you don’t need 10 different lights. My biggest advice to everyone is this: use whatever camera you have, nowadays any camera is good enough to make a film. Invest in 1 quality key light. Invest in a couple clear frosted shower curtains for diffusion. Write your perspective in a story. SHOOT! We are storytellers, not gear hoarders. There are too many of you that own 5 different lights, but can’t even make a cinematic image using one of them. The second you stop focusing on your gear, learn how to use that 1 light, and start focusing on your story is the moment you’ve begun something special
