Thoughts on no bi color in the 1200 watt series? XT26 is way out of my range and the control box is way too big! It also doesn’t support normal outlet so as an indie filmmaker 1200 is probably the one most powerful light I would get
If you want that peak power for increased flexibility outdoors I think it’s a good choice. But indoors balancing with artificial light sources I’d rather have less power and WB/Tint control.
There’s other manufacturers that make bi color 1200s you know. Godox and Nanlux both make bi color versions that are brighter than aputures daylight only version.
@@archidube “work” depends on what modifier (you’d likely want a spotlight kit or fresnel for that type of throw) and what ambient light level you’re competing with.
@@robhallphoto that is what they told me, maybe it's just a shortage, but actually it's practically unaviable in any store here in france and germany. I bought mine when it came out, it's one of my main lights, love it. Thanks for the insight :)
@@robhallphoto Hi Rob. Yes, whether it is called MK II or not, it is actually available for the same price. The head cables were improved, upgraded cob design with higher output when compared to the previous version. But it is in huge demand. And the stocks got sold out faster as soon as it came.
I think they refer to it as the white-point adjustment. When you're turning the saturation all the way down in HSI (color) mode, the white-point adjustment allows you to fine tune what color temperature the white (i.e. 0% saturation) will be.
I want this light but it's so expensive! $4200 in Aus! I'll live with the Amaran 300c for now
I was intrigued by Nanlite 300B II/500B II as these two new bicolor model has green/magenta shift features
What’s the 600c pro tint control feature actually called in the specs u see on b and h ?

@@robhallphotodoes the new aputure 1200x have wb/tint control ?
Would it work from 50 feet away on a balcony pointing down on a Speaker / Podium below?

My local store said that this light is actually discontinued by aputure (at least here in the EU), maybe a replacement is coming soon !
The 600c pro is being discontinued? That’d be an extremely short product life.

In fact, it has already hit the market.
