Caleb, you are truly one of the few people teaching this stuff that isn't spewing out regurgitated BS. I point a lot of film grads to you instead of other "gurus" that live inside of an echo chamber. Love you brother.
As someone who really has to do it all I really appreciate seeing what others are using and what they find useful. Equipment always seems to be changing and some equipment is just around forever. thanks so much. Those impact stand and c -stands have changed my work life completely. I am no longer dying at the end of a days shoot because of lugging around C-Stands with 2k Lights on them. Wheels change the GAME.
Love it. And congratulations on the new office. Thank you for always sharing. You’re an inspiration bro. You deserve everything that comes your way. Continue to strive! 🙏🏿
This week I did a lighting demo for my students and they have a lot of pushback about the amount of work! Well, yeah...if you care about what you’re doing. Excellent video here and great light quality.
Caleb, just wanted to say thanks for this. Ordered the Impact C-Stand which arrived today. I now really understand the difference. Had an inexpensive but not horrible light stand. The C-stand is in a completely different class. Now to get the cash together for your sound blanket panels. One at a time. One at a time.
ANOTHER VIDEO!!! LIKE 4 in a week or something???!?!? Caleb, it’s just like the old days, really loving the ability to see your face all week long 😉. This new setup seems to really make you happy.
DSLR Video Shooter I appreciate u doing it this way because I love your videos. but wow you could’ve spread out all this content if you really wanted to. but I guess the more u posted from that new studio, the more questions you would get about it
Wow, thank you Caleb, so many good tips. I was looking for so much information about grip and i hadn't heard of Intelitech or Impact and so many elements of what i'm looking you are recommending. Thank you for your work, really helpful!
Hope you're having lots of editing time during COVID-19! Definitely THE BEST all-around RUclipsr, ever. Thank you Caleb for all the information you bring to us and the hard work you put into these videos. We feel your love for what you do!
Thanks once more Caleb for this huge and amazing video ! You seems to be really energised by this new venue ! It's really refreshing and useful. Cool ! ;-)
Man every video in the series is getting me more and more hyped for what's to come! Also Caleb, if you start making some lighting heavy videos or even bless us with a lighting guide, that's gonna totally change the game. Anyways, keep up God's work and stay awesome dude!
Great Video as always! Love the raw and detailed information. Did you notice the slight video glitch at 4:15? I know you're working with a new set up and just wanted you to be aware. It looks like it just rendered odd but I thought it would be worth pointing out. I was watching in 720p (slow internet). Keep it up and I love the new Studio.
@@rayhawk9432 I'm sorry I didn't realize it came off as a complaint. I tried my best for it to sound nice. I just wanted Caleb to be aware since he just started shooting in a new environment with a new setup. He seemed to appreciate it. In other words, I'm not being nitpicky. I'm trying to help out the man that has helped me out on countless projects in a way that is constructive. I'm sorry this offended you
Congrats on your new studio! Must be nice to have extra elbow room. Can you comment on how the Intellytech Pocket Canon compares to the daylight version Aputure LS20 light? I'm looking for a small light to use for hair light and accent light, and curious to know how these two lights compare. My main interest is knowing how much light shaping can be done with the barn doors and fresnel focusing.
If you've never had a Cardellini/Mathellini clamp before, do yourself a favor and get one (or five). Once you start to use them, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them. Lots of great info in this one (as usual)... :)
This video came up again on my suggestions. I gotta say, I’m even more impressed with the intellytech panels. You could make a grip & lighting truck out of your compact hatchback. 😄 Just put a stand rack on the roof for your c-stands, baby stands, 6’ ladder, etc. I might have said this elsewhere, buy I’m very pleased you’re getting into “big frames”. Even better outdoors, because you can use them as a bounce, you can mount an overhead silk. If you’re shooting an interior and the window is blowing out, throw a net on that frame and position it outside the window. Make sure the camera isn’t focused on the net, of course. Way easier, faster, better looking than putting ND gel on the window.
Fantastic video! Love the new studio.Congrats! I would love to see a video just on the flag kit alone. Might be very interesting to see how you would use a flag kit in the era of dimable lights and RGB.
HI Caleb, I would like a video request pls. In Hong Kong, we typically live in very small apartments. We face the challenge of limited space to shoot and to store away gear, so a compact, quick set up and easy to store away set up is needed. Would you be able to do a video on this? To give you an idea, I have no office and my dining area is a foldable table that doubles for a work area...about the size of a small double bed. Hope this is worthwhile and thanks in advance.
Great insight !!!! Really love all the different stands. Will redo my studio too soon so this helped aaaaaa loooooot! Great work always love your videos!
Wow ive been waiting for a video like this for the longest time impact has a lot of cool clamps, stands and other accessories i just dont know why people dont do videos about this company, the quality is good and the price is affordable... Very cool video thank you for sharing if its not too much to ask can you make a separate videos on how to use the flag set from impact im planning to buy a set too. Thank you so much
Thanks! Perhaps I will do a review. In short, they are awesome for the money but MUCH heavier than the road rag kits. Love the size and everything seems to be working well so far. Pretty heavy duty stuff.
What happened at 4:12? (Play back at 0.25 speed and use < and > for a frame by frame skip if you want). Looks like a render error or a sensor error... I'm curious if you know what it is. It happens a few seconds after that again.
Great as always 👍🏼 lighting is probably my fav topic! The intellytech pocket mini is so cool! Now I wish they made a 100+ watt version in a similar form factor!
I was considering the 120D but the in Intellytech lights are convincing me. We are in a small space. 8 foot height. 18x11 room... I think those are a better choice over the 120 with the dome. Any advise or recommendations?
can u do some videos on the business end of things? how you got your production company going? from one man band to full size crew? thx!! u make amazing vidssss
Great video. You cost me some money on your previous light and field monitor videos. :) Where did you get the vesa mount stand adapter at 13:23? Didn't see at B&H or Amazon.
I bought the Godox 60 and it came with a softbox, but I’m still getting some hotspots on people’s nose and cheekbones. Is there a way to get rid of that besides makeup? You never seem to have bright spots on your face, but I’m not going to have a huge diffusion sheet like you have to help with that.
Can you make a video on White Balance, and especially custom Kelvin temperatures. How should they be used to fix "bad lighting" (that is too warm or cold)?
Caleb or anyone else who knows about lights: Is an aputure 120D enough to light a person and the food she is cooking for a cooking channel? Or would I need 2 lights or a 300D?
The more light source you have the better sir for me and this is my opinion only 1pc 120d is enough but add some smaller lights for hair light or back light or some accent lights... I hope i helped you sir
solomon yap thanks for the reply, that was helpful! I have 2 smaller light panels so I can use those. Was just wondering if the 120D is enough for the main subject. Thanks!
Any advice on whether to go with COB (Aputure 120d or Godox SL-60) and lightdome style soft box vs LED panels (like Intellytech or Falconeyes) bare or plus soft box - for a relatively static vlogging set up at a desk like this? I have a reasonable amount of space, so squeezing in lightdome not impossible, but I really like the idea of being able to fly lightweight lights higher up. A cleaner, tidier and easier to move set up would be a bonus, but top priority is just great light. Love these vids... no end of inspiration, just gotta decide and jump in!
Cool video. I like my grip gear as well. If you are featuring Impact grip gear could I ask that you review the Impact Aluminum Mid-Range Boom Arm. I think most indies shoot on location rather than studios and that particular boom looks like a good travel/location option. I have both Manfrotto travel booms and a Mathews steel and an Avenger but (not being in the USA) I don't have that impact boom and it might have some advantages over those ie it doesn't need to be put together like the Manfrottos and it is much shorter when closed down than the steel booms. Personally I would really like to see the maximum weight at full extension tested. To see how much it bows. I couldn't find any videos on it and for the average indie finding a location boom is hard, all of the cheap ones I ever bought were useless junk. Love the black on one side white on the other sound blankets. I will look out for those. I only have black.
@@dslrvideoshooter I only saw it today but noticed there is an "old version" and a version 2. Version 2 looks much more robustly constructed and designed. They both close down to 26 inches, thats great for location work/traveling. It would be cool to see a review before buying one though, as I have to pay import tax and international shipping.
I've also used Impact C Stands for a long time and love the turtle base design. However, I recently bought a Matthews rocky mountain leg c stand and OH MY GOD it's SO much lighter than the Impact one. I think about a 5 pound difference.
Good work kid...I did TV production for 29 years...whats the show?....don't forget Go-Bo's to project patterns..... and gels...some amber and pink for fills, so the audience doesn't look sick!....We used to make cucalora, a screen with varnish, after drying, burn random holes with a torch to make a plain wall look real, like on the judge shows from CA made of cardboard...the lighting makes it!....PS: they have shredded cardboard mixed with glue to spray on the ceiling
Hi there, almost pushed the Paypal trigger for the 2 lights 2x2 LC 160 kit as main lights, yep such light a package but... Duv = 0.0034 (ur numbers), compared with a Duv = 0.001 for an A 120 D. So, 3,4 times more the A 120 D deviation from pure white. Will follow feedback. As main light, didn't really wanna take the risk. Second lights... Will look forward. Hope u'll go on the pro market some day, like Westtcot, Aladin & compare them to the mid level.
Your information is great but, I'm starting with my Iphone 13 Pro. I sneak peak to F7 and MC aputure, but aren't cheap and I don't know if they are undue. Could you recommend me something?. Saludos desde México!
Must be thinking along the same lines (or I’ve been subliminally following DSLR) since my very first Lighting Kit is one Aputure D300 and two Intellytech L160s
Thanks for all the value you bring! What is the mini tripod you use at 1:12 for the Aputure 120d? Thanks & best wishes from Berlin, Martin
Caleb, you are truly one of the few people teaching this stuff that isn't spewing out regurgitated BS. I point a lot of film grads to you instead of other "gurus" that live inside of an echo chamber. Love you brother.
0:30 seconds was the slickest thing done in 2019 and deserves an oscar
It's designed to do that.
All grips ever deserve oscars

Great video. Love the grip gear info. Saving this one to refer back to.
I could feel your excitement in this video, all that space opens so many possibilities.
Can't wait to see what you create with all of this.

Love what you're doing. Clear. Well thought out. A purpose for everything.
Caleb, just wanted to say thanks for this. Ordered the Impact C-Stand which arrived today. I now really understand the difference. Had an inexpensive but not horrible light stand.

Love seeing how the studio is coming along! A nice C stand is on my list!
Dude this video just “brightened” up my day ;)
Thos folding lights look dope! Thank you.
7:52 Gonna start practicing that trick with our C-stands 😎
While talking about light stands - 0:50 "As it stands" lol, the unintentional pun is unintentional.
Godox appreciates you showing their lights !

Thank you so much Caleb for the inspirational video! =D
Thanks for making these I appreciate it
Sweet video keep them coming man!
Nice stuff!! I love the impact brand and B&H has a lot of special EDU pricing for that brand. You can get some great deals for C Stands.

I love grip equipment. When I moved to Mexico I thought I was getting out of film production, so I sold all my gear EXCEPT for my c-stand.
what are sound panels for???
Love the B&H link for the lights... can you add one for the stands and grip equipment?
