    I discovered using large soft boxes on the sides of my desk (one on each side) and use them only as a soft reflector. I use LED light panels and bounce the light off the shadow box to illuminate me while not casting any shadows behind me. Also reduces glare from my eye glasses. Key Lights would work nicely in this set up as well.

    I'm using the light you've recommended in your new setup video. It's working nicely for streaming and it costed me 63$ approx'. Elgato is just the Apple of streaming: they also found a niche and are abusing on their pricing. I like their product but their brand is quite expensive for what it is.

  • @drdystopian
    @drdystopian 5 лет назад

    Another great video. The lights look good, being able to desk mount them is a great idea and the fact they work alongside the stream deck is awesome. The price is still pretty steep though for a single light unless you have some cash to burn for those additional features. I picked up 3 Bescor LED lights for £170 which are fantastic so essentially the same price for 1 would be hard to justify. It will be interesting to see how well these do and how they improve them moving forward.

    Excellent tutorial. I have two Key Light Minis and one Key Light (as demonstrated in this video.) Beyond the great functionality and quality of the Elgato lighting products, I can also attest to the benefit that their "live" telephone technical support provides (at least here in the U.S.). I have had several opportunities to make use of it with great success. Just another reason to choose Elgato products over lessor priced "bargain" products. Hank

  • @zyth6125
    @zyth6125 5 лет назад

    the key feature is the integration with the streamdeck. so slick and professional. you can have different settings for different games i.e battlefield with snowmaps gives more front lighting from monitors than darksouls. after first settup just ad a macro and youre one click away. instead of manual tuning on cheap lights. amazing product. alittle pricey but great.

    whilst a good idea, I think for the price I would still prefer to stick to a lighting brand like aputure, for a somewhat similar if not the same price they are way more flexible in their use, however not everyone is tech savvy or have a use for them outside just streaming so I see what part of the market they fill, elgato is almost a one stop shop now joining corsair to get a stream off the ground

    Amazing and thorough review. I have a question tho. Let's imagine that I turn off my Wi-Fi because my PC is linked to a Internet source by cable. Am I able to use those lights ?! It's cool that they are software driven, but sometime I need to run them even without wifi.

    I'm loving how your videos are looking more professional with each video. Personally the Elgato lights seem to be a little overpriced, there are other lighting rigs that do all this for lower prices, also DIY options are definitely available. But if you're already serious and you have the money, be my guest, definitely efficiency is key.

    Nice lights but hard to justify over Aputure lights with hardware control and optional battery operation at a much cheaper price.
    Take 50 off and it'd be a better deal, feels like we're paying that for the software.

    for the viewer a key light is perfect for the eye, but how is it affecting the feeling for the streamer?

  • @brandtsmith8875
    @brandtsmith8875 5 лет назад +167

    I know you tried to justify the $200 price tag, but there is really no reason for these to be over $120 at the most other than the fact that it's Elgato and they know people will buy it. I'll just wait for the hype train to die down and grab them at a discounted price...

    • @RampageAG
      @RampageAG 5 лет назад +10

      I agree. I think the reason for the cost is partially the software and integration. Still, I'm with you I think $200 is a bit steep for this, especially because I've got my light set up pretty well, which would mean reworking my setup with these new lights.

    • @Zzansss

      @dr.phalangesofgaming 5 лет назад +3

      I did some research and apparently key lights usually cost around $280 so for $200 it is a good deal for what it does...

    • @wintorzcreative8412
      @wintorzcreative8412 5 лет назад +7

      You don't need to pay $280 for a key light. Most lights don't cost that much unless you're really starting to go professional and need to worry about exact kelvin, or precise lighting control. Also don't be fooled by terminology. Key light just means main light. It will be your brightest light, but thats as much as it really means. That being said this is a really good and much needed product. Not surprised its $200 when its just come out, but realistically this should be $120 to maybe $150 considering you'll be wanting to buy 2. $400 for a set is pie in the sky for most people this targets, particularly when you can get reasonable alternatives for an absolute fraction of the cost.

  • @designwithdaniel
    @designwithdaniel 5 лет назад

    Elgato's USP is convenience. People pay a premium for convenience. That's why they can and do overcharge. I own an Elgato Stream Deck and Green Screen and a very much like both and didn't much paying the high price for them. Whilst the convenience of turning on a light with the Stream Deck is appealing, you can achieve this with an Alexa controlled mains plug and IFTTT. With regards to the softbox comparison, you need to consider that they are only around $25 including tripod and huge bulb...and they are EIGHT times bigger in surface area (and brighter) than the Elgato Key Light panels.
