    I'm a beginner with lighting and was wondering about additional gear to use along with these lights. Like what kind of stand do you think would be good to get for these lights for lighting scenes or what kinds of arm attachments could/should I get for attaching these lights to things around the scene? I'm quite lost when it comes to that part of it. I'm not great with grips at the moment but am trying to learn more by getting two of these little lights and practicing a little with lighting around my house and outside.

      I would recommend two inexpensive photo light stands for these to start with! They're not going to be great outdoors in direct sunlight since they won't have quite the punch for that, but otherwise these are great tools for starting to learn!

    4:26 regarding missing magnets: the ballmounts have a magnetic base. They are not the strongest, so mounting them on moving parts or vehicles etc. might be critical. But for static use they’re working fine. Edit: you can unscew the base from the ballmount and then you have exactly what you asked for ;)

      It's a little surprising they haven't, I hope they do for your sake!

    I use mine a lot with miniatures. I have a small black card i have cut 12 circles out of (4x3) that i place in front of the MC. Throw that in frame and it looks like an old maxi brute unit

      When it's in the background out of focus

      That's a really cool suggestion, thanks for the tip! I don't do too much miniature work but thay sounds like it'd look awesome.

    Where did you get the bubble diffuser?

      @thegranitegaffer  11 месяцев назад

      You can snag it off Aputure's store on their website. It's like $25 or so?

    Man, that music... I wish I could listen to what you’re saying. But I can’t. Because crazy dubstep into EDM something. Too bad.

      While I will definitely not be doing that, feel free to check out my latest video: ruclips.net/video/9HkgeSOSfKU/видео.html
      It's not dubstep but it does have good tips!
