3:40 the knob goes in 5% increments. So it was actually 5% .. if you want a true 1% lighting, you have to do it through the app. At least that’s how I get the 1%. However, I do appreciate that you showed the dislikes about this product & didn’t just show all the likes. They are “budget” lights though, so... I bought a dual lighting set of the 800’s for $190 & only use them in my studio. They work perfectly for what I need them to do. 🤙🏽
I think these lights are good for hiding behind things to produce color effect in the background. They have wide beam spread (120 degree) so only a short distance is needed to light a large area. Don't use the barn door because they create shadow banding due to the widely spaced LEDs. But in the background it is ok, especially if you blur the background. The downside of wide beam spread is they're no good as key light because the wide beam cause most of the light to spread out and be wasted unless you place the light very close.
Very useful review. Saved me from throwing money away on these lights, as you confirmed my doubts. They’re too cheap, basically a toy. But I did get the light stands you recommended. I never heard of that brand before, they are well built (screws instead of riviera), and a great price. Thanks!
Well done George, I have just purchased ta 2 pack desk mount set 88D RGB. Waiting for Mr Postperson to arrive. Outback country Western Australia. take care cheers mate
Im so new at this. I was wondering about your professional opinion. What do you think about the GVM RGB 800D vs Neewer 660 RGB ? They are both very similar. Was wondering which one you recommend?
Hi there, I just received mine, but one of them will only cast blue light, when trying to change the hue. I tried with the knob and via the app, same result. I guess the LEDs are busted? What do you think?
Whats with all reviews hating plastic, i have had my viltrox full plastic lights for 5 years and totally have no problem with them, they work find full time upto now.... this mentality has to change. What's having a metal build when the ices and the technology inside is shit.... ! I still dont understand this kind of thinking...
Old mentality thinking bro. I rather have plastic, it's lighter and it won't ding, bend, etc. Paying for something that's cheap and expecting it to feel like a Rose Royce. This guy is taking the piss lol
Great video! I’m debating between these, and the gvm bi-color Will this do everything the bi-color lights do, plus more? Or if I mostly need just regular lighting, will I get a better quality and more light if I just go with the bi color light? It’s not that I don’t need the RGB. I’m sure it’ll come in handy sometimes. I make music videos, so firstly, I want to make sure I have solid good lighting. Afterwards, the RGB addition sounds cool, but as long as it’s not taking away from my main lighting purpose. What dyou think?
I'm looking to improve my home streaming lighting with maybe 2 lights. This GVM 800D kit seems interesting. Maybe I could improve the diffusion a little better with a D-Fuse DF-1M kit. This brings me to around 238$ USD with the current sale but without any desk mounting kit. At that price, would there be any better alternative?

Yep, if you use the app you can dim it right down to 1% (they are barely on) and go up from there.

i love this light for my beauty channel thanks alot for the reviews
awesome!
This is such a great review. Hit all the key points I was looking for.

Nice! I am glad I was able to help.
@@TechNocion Funny how there are entirely different takeaways from the same review!
love the review but man your audio is really echoy
Sorry will be updating new mic

Wuuu awesome!
Thanks George, that was very insightful
These lights are fire for the price especially when u buy the battery for em. U can't beat the price either.
Exactly you get lots of features for the price
Great job!
Nice video!
Friendly advise, fix your audio. It's like you are recording in a bathroom. :)
Ditto. Good quality video. Audio is just as important. Subbed!!!
Good review. Do you know how it compares to the Neewer 660 RGB?
I'll have to make a comparison
anyone knows the lumens for this light?
The wifi is a deal breaker if you're already using it for the Hollyland Mars stuff
I just got mine today, they connect with Bluetooth. Win, win! (though they are the 800D II)
Could you please tell me which app do I download so I can control the light thanks

Wish I had the Neewer to compare them. I might get them
Good video
Let me just start trash talking the lights as soon as the video starts 🎉

Yes return
Do you have to use the app? Can it be adjusted without it?
yes you can turn the knobs to adjust color.
when the fairy tail is coming... you are reviewing lightbox did not really turn on to show how intense or and different feature of light
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it

What dyou think?
how is this compare to falconeyes? which model of falconers do you have?
falconeyes is more quality
Can this light be powered by battery alone or do you need to have it plugged in?
yes , works with battery also
Those are stands. Not tripods.
correct, my bad
@@TechNocion Are the mounts universal? Do better stronger taller stands and booms work with the GVM 800D?
@@theydontknow9260 I put mine on some Neewer C-Stands just fine.
It doesn't seem to be that bright, is it? Barely noticeable on that wall
Not super bright
Nope not that bright. I have brighter LEDs. I got these because they were on a deal and I wanted the effects / RGB
Does this have warm lighting ?
Yes it has all the colors since it's RGB
I have a higher model of these lights. Metal body. Metal barn doors and more LED's. I use them all the time. They work fine
What brand?
@@TechNocion GVM
Can you drop a link? How much did you pay?

Why not show the 8 lighting scenes? Geez ...
True I will be careful with that next time.

sounds like a good deal
The app sucks - any suggestions?
I know it's not good at all. I rather just use manual nobs
@@TechNocion can you do a video on using the app
Terrible review
