Smallest Most Powerful Portable Video Light in the World

  • The brightest smallest battery powered continuous light in the world, great for outdoors, location shooting, videos, vlogging, wedding photographers and campers is the size of an apple but just as powerful as an Aputure 120Dii with fresnel lens! No big heavy V-mount batteries needed, just a 100w USB-C battery you can get on Amazon. I love these so much, they are awesome for location vlogging. I immediately got 3 of them. It has some fan noise, but that can be easily eliminated with software when editing because it's a steady tone. The name of this little wonder? The Stella Reflex but Light and Motion. It is half the size and price of the current most powerful battery powered small video light- the Light and Motion Stella CLX with fresnel. Also featured in this video are other favorite battery powered video lights I have and recommend (and some I don't recommend). Here are links...

    I've see photographers use the Stella Reflex with the battery grip and wondered if it was more of a gimic light. But now with Markus's demo hack, using a 100w USB-C battery makes this really the best high output light that's super portable. I have the Canon R5 and I have often been tasked to shot video along with my photography. I never planned on being a hybrid shooter but the needs of my clients have moved me in that direction. The Stella Reflex will replace my GMV light panels that are just too weak for sunny days. Thanks Markus!

    Dude!! I literally just bought the Aperture Amaran 60d and used it for a daytime outdoor snowshoe commercial shoot!! It was literally for 1 or 2 scenes but It was the lightest and most portable light and it works SOOOO GOOOODDDDD!!! I am so glad I purchased that light, it goes with me everywhere I know I’ll need light. I just need to pick up the aperture fresnel and the original dish and I think I’m going to get a second 60D to be 100% honest. I love it

    I tried the StellaPro Reflex S when it was almost double the current price. Never could get it to work in flash mode and it was a bit too pricey to use as a continuous light source, so I returned it. It was marketed at the time as having a flash mode capable of firing up to 20 fps, which I wanted to use for dance photography.

    I would compare the Stella Reflex Pro S to a Aputure LS 60d. The flash is decent but not as bright as a strobe. I use a couple of these for weddings. If you want it softer you gotta use an umbrella. Currently working on a 3d printed mount to accommodate magmod accessories.

    Update: The Amaran 60D DOES take V-mount batteries with a D-tap cable. Aputure told me it doesn't but it does. (that's not the featured light in this video though)

    • @hbp_
      @hbp_ Год назад

      Unless it has changed, their solution is a DTAP cable. For whatever reason they decided to sell it separately. Yet, it's not very optimal solution because a big enough battery adds slightly too much weight to one side. Why didn't they put the mount on the rear? Also guess what, it also acts like a reverse pendulum with a big battery attached :)
      I'd still say it's my favourite of all the lights I own.

    What I find the most impressive about these lights is that even Sharkcookie went out of his way of almost never talking about the gear he uses to really praise the lights, and now Markus is telling some really warm words. I have checked and it seems like this might be a bit of a hassle to find the correct version in Europe.

    That was so much useful information. The Chinese are just killing it these days with all the affordable choices. I’m using one Rotolight Aeos and two Neos LED light (mark I and mark II) without utilizing the lame flash option. They have since doubled the light output from previous models. I love the Neo because I can pack two of them in my Billingham camera bags front pockets. I use the somewhat portable Dynalite Baja studio strobes. Otherwise.

    • @MarkusPix

      When I got the light I immediately assumed it didn't have the NP battery plate permantly attached because people could choose between vmount and NP. So I called both B&H and Aputure and said "where's the Vmount adapter?" B&H said there isn't one and Aputure said it's not made for Vmounts, only NP. Maybe the person I spoke to didnt know what the engineers intended or designed, I don't know. But personally, I'd say if it works, use it. Heck the whole thing only costs 170 bucks.

    the fresnel spotlight effect may not be too objectionable, but You don't seem to be concerned about the quality of the light. For on site info videos like this, maybe not so bad, but I'm not ready to give up decades of soft lighting for size or the ability to previsualize. None of these lights provide enough lumens to use modifiers and compete with the quality of a flash, I'm sorry to say.

    What a video to prove these are not the lights you should have, especially the way you use them. "I can't even open my eyes." Nobody wants to see you in videos with your eyes closed. You can buy almost 4 Amaran 60d's for the price of one of these. Then again, if you have $700 to throw away on a flashlight that you cannot use then I guess money means nothing to you. You can use V-mount batteries with the 60d when you get a d-tap to adapt them (you did not mention that's how you used them in your pinned comment). The fan noise is a concern with narrative film, so not good for that either. You did a nice review and comparison, but I believe you only proved the point opposite the one you were attempting to make.

    • @MarkusPix

      I was having fun and being dramatic. Of course I can can use them, I'm using them here ruclips.net/video/k3jlWb87i54/видео.html Do you hear fan noise? I've been using lights with fan noise for narratives for years, but you never heard it because like I said, it's so easy to filter out. Do I look like I'm being blinded here? ruclips.net/video/YUs8184f1OY/видео.html They are just as bright at a 120D II which I'm using here ruclips.net/video/k3jlWb87i54/видео.html and I'm having no problem. I did not prove the opposite as you say, the purpose was to take something lightweight and small out to a remote location thats just as powerful as a 120D II which is exactly what I did and it works wonderfully. Of course a v mount battery needs a D-tap cable. I guess I need to remember there are some overly serious people out there.

    At around 2:45, you are comparing the Aputure 120d II's brightness to the Amaran 60d's brightness. I thought that when referencing EV (exposure value) that each unit was one stop. Therefore if the 120d II is reading 16 EV and the 60d is reading 11 EV, then the 120d is 5 stops brighter. I realize that the numbers 11 and 16 are also coincidentally common f-stops.

    Which power bank do you use for the reflex? Learnt it needs 100w input to operate. Most power banks don’t have that capacity

    Thanks for the video, but this thing is not for serious filmmaking. Plus, the light is very spot-like, it doesn't look good on the face. if you can see the lighting in your image....its not good lighting. Just my 2 cents as a DoP..

    • @MarkusPix
      @MarkusPix  Год назад +1

      Hahahahahaha This is for VLOGGERS who want to hike to a remote location and light up their face during bright sunny day but want the smallest, lightest thing possible. This is called being resourceful. I guess you missed the part where I said this ruclips.net/video/k3jlWb87i54/видео.html
      And I guess you also missed the part where I said it comes with a WIDE lens which makes the light throw a standard wide beam. I got a SPOT beam which focuses the light only on the face so you can get more light output. That's just me. But the normal way it comes is not a spot. By the way, in Hollywood, it's "DP" not DoP and I've worked with some of the biggest DPs in the industry, like the DP from James Bond's Moonraker, and pro DPs are ALWAYS creatively using small powerful lights in tight spaces . There is a time and place for everything. There is not one constant situation, especially when on location. ruclips.net/video/w4q0_uSIOJw/видео.html

    I like the Stella because I can use it for a video light; it is light enough for the DJI RS2. I'm about to find out. 100W USB-C power coming from 100W dtap adapter. I get that this setup is asking for red eyes but will be physique videos. For talking head videos how do I best mitigate red eyes? I have ring light I use but it is too weak beyond 6 feet; the stella may fill the longer ranges.
