This is the type of filmmaking gear that I love to see, innovative. This actually seems pretty useful especially since the pump comes attached to the light. I was honestly expecting for that to be separate.
Ya, it's a really cool innovation! Having the pump built in internally def makes it way quicker to get them setup and not worry about having a pump with you.
Wow cool stuff. Superb explanations, and it's nice how you quickly show each feature then the next, moving things along at a perfect pace. About the Mito Torch 1x4, to your question at 00:38 to on why it's called "1 by 4" when it's not 4 feet long, my guess is that 1 x 4 is the iight's ratio of width to length. (similar to how video formats are expressed as ratios, for example 16:9 which is pronounced 16 by 9)
Thanks Paul! Definitely very unique lights. The light tube modifier specifically stood out to me cause you can throw it on any light you're already using. It was good meeting you at NAB in Vegas BTW!
@@chadwin ya bud!!! I love NAB it was my 2nd year. I love meeting all my youtube friends. There were a lot of inflatable lights near iFootage booth, that new falcon eyes brand or whatever. Maybe we will connect next year again!
@@PaulFeinberg yeah for sure, NAB is one of my favorite events every year! I’ll be there, so I bet we’ll bump into each other again. I didn’t see those other Inflatable lights, but that’s cool to hear. I think it’s an emerging market for sure.
Hmm, on Light Bank's website, the Mito Torch 1x4 product listing says the brightness is 610 lux, but does not specify whether that's measured at 2 meters, 1 meter or 0.5 meter distance. As you know in recent years there's been a sneaky trend (mostly with LED panel lights) to specify Lux at 0.5 meters-putting the measurement device twice as close to the light. The more responsible vendors will show the lux rating at 0.5 meters (sneaky) but also at 1meter and 2 meter distances. (full disclosure)
Oh, that's interesting. It's always hard to know what kind of tests and standards are being tested cause every company does it so differently. Anecdotally, they definitely all get pretty bright though!
It's very possible that it looks greenish due to my camera settings. I filmed this at 5600k, but the light was down at 2700k, if I white balanced to 2700k in camera it would probably look cleaner. But i didn't test the color accuracy with any meters. Their website states that CRI is 95+ so it should be decent! You can also adjust the green/magenta shift of the light--so if the reading shows that, you can make needed adjustments.
@@marcdevinci893 yeah, I had that same reservation as well. But so far through my use they’re pretty robust! But of course you gotta be careful not to accidentally tear them
All Mito series undergo a 48-hour leak-free quality control test before packaging. Some of our clients have set up the inflatable lights for a month without needing to reinflate them. The concept of inflatable lighting is mainly for easier transport and less space to setup.
The film industry has been using inflatable lights going on 15 years now. Not sure how this is called new? Maybe just the smaller form factor but nothing revolutionary about it.

Yeah, I could see that being the reason behind the naming--it could be the ratio!
Those look great! super sick.
Yeah, they are pretty cool! Def different than anything I've used before.
They are interesting for sure....cool video

We will update the spec sheet soon .
On the 2x4, when you were at 2700 K it looks green. Did you check the color accuracy on these lights?

it's gotta be the low end dimming, the color completely falls apart at some point when it was dimmed in the video.
@@Cinegavo Yep. I agree. A lot of cheaper LED diodes do that. seen it on cheap lights off of Amazon. I even have one.🤣
I love the idea but with anything inflatable I wonder how durable it is.

Hi, due the Air tube modifier have an optional LCD?
