As someone who lives in Australia as a photographer - It is so rare to find quality tech gear channels - especially a tech gear channel that gives Australian prices. Thank you.
Sir, you have become my top pick for light reviews recently - when I see your channel in my search results I'm picking you every time 🙌 peace from the UK!
Thanks so much for continuing to put so much effort into creating these intelligent reviews. Would love to see a review of the Godox FL flex series of LED lights if possible one day
Hello I hope you can help me … I’m starting a 3 HOST podcast and I’m thinking either buying sl100Bi or the La150 … both with the Godox lantern … normally I would go directly for the 150 « more power maybe for other usage » but the fan also is an issue I think more than the sl 100 … is the 100 enough to light 3 people or should I take the la150 … great review and thank you in advance
Absolutely love your videos, and I'd love to see more of the low budget lights (like this Godox), even ones that you don't find to be particularly good (I think you've mentioned leaving out reviews of poorly performing products in the past?)
@@luisa9628 It's interesting, some reviewers say their copy isn't noisy at all, while others say the noise is unbearable. Wonder if it's a quality assurance issue? The ls60x does appear to be quieter.
Thanks for the video, any review about the Godox SK-400 II model for video and product photography for beginners.? I am thinking of buying decent single strobe light which I can use as a continuous as well as flash. Since I am new to lighting setup, it will be a great help if you share some insight about SK-400 II Light. Thank you in advance.
Congratulations on your content! I don't have (yet) a color meter, I would very much like to know your experience (or maybe a while video) about using gels with LED lights (aputure and others). From what I understand it has a noticeable shift but how much is the thousand dollar question. Best regards! Cheers,
I don't tend to gel lights much as I have lots of full or Bi-colour options, and if I do gel a daylight COB to tungsten, I'm not directly matching it to a tungsten light. So I actually don't know. I think last year I saw a video on Indi Mogul that was quite in-depth
@@gaffergear Thanks for the reply! Yes, I thought that would be the case, but I'm still very mystified by how a non-continous spectrum would be affected (or not affected) by a filter (gel) and the shifts it would occur. I'll much appreciated if you consider this to be a video in the future. Best regards!
I would say full CTO, but some times with LED the filtering of the spectrum can be more of less so it can sometimes be a 3/4 CTO. I'll run a metre with some CTO today and see what we get. I should out this in all mono light reviews.
@@gaffergear I appreciate the response. I have gotten the impression with the SL150 that I need a little more fine tuning with the gels, and to maybe even introduce very weak Magenta or Green gels if mixing light (say if I can't control house lights during a conference or seminar).

I don't know of anyone else in the world who is so thorough and mentions what's actually important.

I would love to see a review of the Amaran 100/200 D/X for comparison.

For me, the direct power connection is a feature, not a bug. No brick! If I need battery power, I'd get the ML 60.
Thank you, Andrew, for doing these awesome videos. If it is possible, I would like to see a review of the Godox SL100Bi light fixture.
Absolutely love your videos, and I'd love to see more of the low budget lights (like this Godox), even ones that you don't find to be particularly good (I think you've mentioned leaving out reviews of poorly performing products in the past?)
Tnx for your work)
Do you plan test Nanlite FS150 and Aputure amaran 100? They in +- same price/brightness category.
This or the Aputure / Amaran 100d?
Go listen to the sounds an Amaran makes. It's literally unusable if you're recording sound. The Amaran is worse than the original noisy SL60.

@@lusw it's an episode I should do, plus on the mono lights I should test how they gel convert
@@gaffergear Great! :D Glad to hear! Thanks a bunch and congrats!
What do you need to put on this light to approximate tungsten? Do you need to correct for cast?
That would be Full cto.
I would say full CTO, but some times with LED the filtering of the spectrum can be more of less so it can sometimes be a 3/4 CTO.
I'll run a metre with some CTO today and see what we get. I should out this in all mono light reviews.

Full CTO is the best match. It comes in at 3030k with a bit of green to about 1/2 of a 1/8th correction gel.
Scores 95 on the TM-30
@@gaffergear Thank you, you're the best. What do you use to measure?
Godox sl 100d
Vs the amaran 100d (200$), would you go with this or that?
I haven't used the Amaran so can't say
Amaran = sidis link...
Much more valuable, especially if you run a multi aputure ecosystem
Why do video makers have this obsession with veeery loud intro and outro?
to much useless tech data (what's your target users?) would've been more useful to light up 2-3 different brands in a dark room and compare.
Professional gaffers and lighting technicians who actually understand that data
@@gaffergear I'm a pro photographer and I find your video to be useless, but best luck!
