- The Aputure LS 60D is a fantastic light with many pro features, but do you need those features? What about the Amaran 60D? They both have the "60D" label, so what's the difference? Are you better off with the Amaran 60D?

This video came at the *perfect* time. I was literally thinking about the difference between these two just today and wanted to get a spotlight mount to use with either of them. Thanks for the video Tyler!
Thanks! I hope it was helpful!
1 min 48 secs of intro and repeating yourself multiple times. I almost looked for another vid. Sorry, easy for me to critique from my armchair but just want ya to be awesome cause your a great creator.
such great feedback and I totally agree. I talk too much and need to get to the point. Honestly working on it! Appreciate ya!
Much more impressed with the Aputure LS 60D. Totally worth the premium.
I already got the Amaran 60x but totally was looking for this comparison a few weeks ago and couldn't find anyone with a video on it! Thanks for posting this 🙌🏽
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! Cheers
An obscure but very important point is that the Aputure version is actually 25 % brighter and more comparable to an Amaran 100d. This is true with the 60x versions, and I assume this applies to the 60d's as well.
In some situations this light might struggle as a key light, so every bit of extra brightness is important.
Great video. Looking to invest in a few of the Aputure 60X and then I saw the Amaran 60X on B&H...so needed a quick video before I make the decision. Glad your video came up!
I’m considering some 60 x s fixtures myself!
Thank you for this video. I'm so torn about what light to get.
The absolute last thing I was expecting was to see b-roll of Ronin lmao. Appreciate the info in the video. Helped me make my purchase
Really nice Video Tyler! I was considering these two and your Video helped me a Lot..
I throw my 60D on a C-Stand. I like the 60D because of the v-mount NP-F Battery option
Great timing. I was just thinking about this. Thanks.
Minus for the 60D is lack of battery power option. LS60D comes with an NPF-plate, V-mounted on the yoke.
Definitely! But the Amaran does have a vmount on the fixture and comes with an NPF plate adapter. What’s missing is the dtap adapter
@@TylerEdwards Man, I haven't seen that. I can see myself travelling with just an umbrella as diffusion and an Amaran. What is your opinion on fan noise? Some people have expressed real concern, going as far as replacing the fan.
Or is it only a problem with 200X?
@@tfransson no fan noise issues with either of these lights :)
Thank you for your explanationm I'm looking for the perfect on-the-go lighting without jeopardize quality
wow. you really rock that jacket
It’s an awesome jacket what can I say :)
Great comparison Tyler! i would go all the way with the 60x. These set up looks great real 3d dimension; could you elaborate on your set up. thanks!
Nice! The 60x looks sweet. Just a key light and exposure lift for this shot :)
I'd love to know how the flares compare between these two lights.
Everyone seems to angst when describing the lens on the Aputure 60D/X. No need to mention fresnel at all, which is just a different type of lens technology used to focus a beam of light. It just happens to be adopted in large spotlights due to inherent lower cost and weight.
Hey man just wanted to say this video really helped me, shorter intro might help I also nearly clicked off, glad I didn’t though! People’s attention spans are so short these days.
Appreciate the feedback. I’m terrible with intros. Getting better with it tho! (I think lol)
Nice review.... Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Now, i was not sure if the Amaran 60d/x is the right light for me and i was troubeling to go for the Sokani 100x or the Amaran 60. The advantage of the Amaran is definitly the compactness and the features it brings. For sure a very good light. But now i want the LS60d which is much bigger and heavier than the other lights xD... wtf!?! The build Quality, the better Bowens mount and the Fresnel , likewise the NPF Battery thing make me want this thing a lot :P
I heard the lens on the Aputure is obviously great for spotlight but less so on soft modifiers where the Ameran is a better choice having wider light dispersion.
Should be fine if you put it in flood mode
Its true
You can't use the Aputure LS 60D with softboxes larger than 65 cm, because it emits a narrow beam of light and produces a spot of light.
Does the spread of the light completely fill the Aputure Lightbox 30x120?
What light modifiers from Aputure would be okay for the Light Storm? The ones I choose were too heavy. Thanks for the comparison video
Technically with the Bowens adapter, all softbox modifiers should work, but I wouldn’t use the light dome II or the bigger one personally. None of the hard light modifiers like the fresnel or spotlight will work though since there’s already a glass focusing element built in.
amaran is great for studio use & content creators that are gonna leave on light stand and forget about it, lightstorm ftw
Agreed! I use Amarans a ton on professional gigs though without issue as well so they are definitely gig worthy :)
@@TylerEdwards yeah totally bet they are but can you get like a 2 foot light dome on them, I had look at one and didn't like the yoke or lack of yoke
@@SustainableGal ya, the amaran 60D wouldn't replace my other lights for a key light. However, if you needed to mount a light dome to it, you could use a cardellini clamp to hold the light dome and just mount the light off that and let the light dome hold the weight of the 60d since it is so lightweight. that said, i mounted the light dome to the 60d in my home studio with no issue.
@@TylerEdwards oh okay I'd thought of the projector mount as well that actually a great idea thanks for that I'll bear that in mid cheers
You missed out a key piece of information. How much noise does each type of light produce? For me that's crucial as I'm also trying to do top notch audio recording at the same time as video recording.
I didn’t mention it because neither of these lights produce any more noise than any other COB light.
I like the use of “premium” - more is more, or premium + premium = premium. Delicious.
Premium.
@@TylerEdwards Cost: premium. Experience: yes (platinum).
I like the lighting in this video. What was your setup?
Thanks! 300dII+light dome for key and nova (because it was out) for exposure lift on the back wall haha
@@TylerEdwards Oh cool! Thanks for explaining! :)
Hey Tyler! I'm building together my first lighting kit to learn my way around lighting for short films. I have around $1500 to spend on lights, modifiers and stands. I'm thinking of starting out with three lights and was looking at the Amaran 200X, Amaran 200D and the Amaran 60X. Do you think these are a solid three lights to start off with given my budget or would you recommend a different setup? I don't know whether to go all bicolor for practicality or throw a daylight in there for power...i know its subjective but I thought having the 200X and 200D would be a best of both worlds scenario?
Definitely keep daylight in there for output! That looks to be a good kit and in the future you could add a p60c for rgb and g/m tunability
great video! Could I have the same spot light beam with the amaran COB 60d? Is there any tool that I can use to have this effect?
A Fresnel Mount. There is a $45 version on Amazon
It's not as tight as 15 degrees though. There is a more expensive Fresnel Mount from Aputure that may reach the beam degree of the LS built-in beam adjustment
Thanks for the video. I am curious have you footage where you light 2 persons directly to see how bright this 60d and how far away the light was. Like: 2 persons, 7 meters away, 100% light , your cameras iso maybe 400. Its difficult with lights to see if they are bright enough. Thanks man
The 60d probably wouldn't be the best light for a two talent interview. You'd want a more powerful light to throw through a big diffusion like a 6x6' to get good coverage of the two people.
How is the LS in 2022 comparing to other Aputure lights (looking for a softboxed main light/key light on a budget/portability is not a priority)
is amaran 200d better option for me?
For budget, yes 200D would be better for a key.
@@TylerEdwards Sorry for the follow-up: is the fan still too loud on the 200D? if so will the 100D be better option?
1 aputure 300D VS 10 amaran 60D?
lol depends on your needs!
Do the fans make much noise?
Would this work as a hair light?
Definitely
