Which Bi-Color Light Is The Best!? GVM 650b VS Nanlite 720b

In this video we will compare the Nanlite 720b to the GVM 650b, two very similar bi-color lights with lots of output for their price. But how does the cheaper, less powerful light stack up to the more expensive one?

Good job Lyndon! Great review man!

Thank you Brandon, much love!

[@Ausiiii]

Great review!

[@buddyfx7026]

Man thanks bro, took a long time to complete but I'm happy we finally got our first one out there!

Just do not believe the specs of GVM 650b pro. It has 35% lower output than advertised. Still solid choice for the price.

Here's some photometrics we got but didn't have time to add to the video. But yea for the price, it's got solid output. Double them up and you're still around the same price as the Nanlite with more output and versatility (unless you need a single source). I'm hoping we can get their 1200b sent to us. We'll put that one through more paces for sure. That said, again I'm very pleased with our Nanlite 720b. It's been solid over the years. Lately we've been getting into more Aputure lighting. That said, we're still curious about options. Checked your channel out, very nice!

​@@buddyfx7026 Looks like you got different unit (never model of 650B pro). I measured ~14000 lux at 1m (5600K) with no dish, you have 19000.
I asked GVM for 1200b or 1200c for review, but I guess I would never hear from them again :D
2 units capable of 19k lux would be great for the price of 1 forza or 1 aputure 600x :D

[@buddyfx7026]

​@@JoATTech yeah that's frustrating getting two different reasons. We got ours about three months ago if that helps.
Currently I have two older 500d lights from Nanlite on a single rolling stand for a rolling book light. It's nice but s little clunky. Hoping I hear back from GVM as well!
