My regular viewers may notice a few animation/style changes in this video. Super big thanks to Konrad Schneider! My amazing designer / contents creator buddy from Germany who helped me with these changes! There are a few more changes coming in the next few videos. Hope you like it, but let me know what you think :)
Great Review. These look like great studio lights for an entry level studio. Its nice to see that Aperture is building some more affordable options. How do you like theis barrel design vs a panel light
Thanks Barry! Re barrel design, I guess you mean the normal studio ight shape light like this aputure Amaran 100d /200d? I feel if you are working in a small, tight area, and want soft lighting, then the panel light is the easier option as it gives out softer light than any bare studio light without soft modifier. While studio light like the amaran is better if you have more space as you have the option to choose different modifier for different lighting effects.
haha don't worry,, they are all (or mostly) from the same local RUclipsr. He has a reputation of doing silly stuff trying to other RUclips channels, everyone know that. Just give this video a like if you enjoy it, but otherwise don't worry i don't really mind at all :)
That’s incorrect… RUclips told us that every like and dislike is linked to one IP address no matter how many accounts they have. My friend in Wyoming has a channel and got 20 dislikes. We thought it was linked to two acquaintances and spoke to a friend who works at RUclips who told us that it’s 20 different people/IP. Don’t worry even if a few dislikes, different people likes different things. I’ve given a few dislikes myself especially if I felt the video was a boring and a waste of my time. We live and learn but good luck from Wyoming, US!
@@bettychan2173 It is super easy to cheat that system. Using VPN, different network, different computer or iPad. A friend of mine show me it's so easy to pretend you are different person from another country.
hi @Betty Chan, RUclips did a few things to try avoid people doing that. But in reality, it's really easy to get around their detection system. I wouldn't say it's from another youtuber if i don't have solid proof but I'm not going to name any names here as it doesn't really matter :) Thanks for the encouragement! I will try my best to keep improving my contents!
Too many RUclipsrs misuse the word 'sponsor'. Getting or giving free things is not sponsored. This video may be considered 'advertorial' even if a company that gives free things have no say and publisher (RUclipsr) is free to say whatever he or she wants about the free things.
hahaha i know! Mine are from Aputure, they were supposed to send me these back in Dec last year but in the end only just received recently as they made some changes to the original design. Have you ordered one ?

100d is obviously darker than 120dii. Look at the reflections of the left wall with sound mufflers.
Nice review as usual. i am keen to get a 100D for my home studio setup i.e. bedroom LOL
Thanks Kenneth! haha 100D is more than enough for a bedroom studio setup :)
Thank you so mach ! Very nice video !
Glad you liked it!
