RUclipsrs that actually use their gear for creative projects. What a rare breed lol. I just picked one of these up with your code, thanks bro!
I want this now
Would love to see you using some of the Zhiyun line of products and share your thoughts. I'm blown away by the size of these and led mat lights being readily available. The portability with power is truly impressive in this Era.
@@MoeGunz coming soon!!
This is an amazing light. I've been enjoying using it so far. This video is amazing by the way. Love the style you've created.
7:59 is my favorite part. 😂 You are really a breathe of fresh air to the RUclips filmmaking community. You actually show how to use the lights in such an easy and understandable manner. It’s been awesome watching your channel grow over the last year! Thanks for all the hard work you put in! Much love from Nashville, Tennessee!
Thank you 😢🙏🏽 haha I just hate talking about specs. I rather show how the gear can be used!
I wish you had a lighting course on this type of run & gun lighting... love your content! Cheers from Brazil
Incredible work as always. I thought my phone was messing up when you sped up the CRI info lol.
Killed it as usual man
I don’t need more lights, I don’t need more lights. Damn it, I need these lights!
Light is the Key 😅
You killed it here Cam 🤜
🤘🏽✊🏽🙏🏽 thanks bro bro
You always make filmmaking seem cool and joyful, while also crafting amazing shots.
I appreciate you saying that. I only want to create! Talking about specs is the boring part gaha
@@cammackey I've been directing for 30 years and it's hard to stay creative all the time. Tech specs can be an inspiration as well, because you can control tech, unlike so many other aspects of a career. Your output is amazing, really looking forward to seeing more narrative and docu work.
I'm living my underground filmmaker dream vicariously through you!
Amazing review Cam!!! As usual!
And please yes, bring your luts for us Canon shooters 😂🙏🏻
Another awesome one man!
Am a huge fan with Z lights …. But still BOLING BL-A60 60W RGB is mind blowing - hopefully you can make a short video near future
inspiring as always...thanks...looking forward to the Nikon LUTs
That Bowen mount adapter kicks ass! I just pre-ordered the X60RGB Pro kit through B&H. I do wish you'd start putting up B&H affiliate links so I can ensure you get a kickback, Cam.
Killed it 😎
I see this living in the bronco!! I am not in the market for a light, but solely watched this for the creative aspect. Crushed it
I appreciate that! 🥹
Those lights are 👏🏻 - In than hands of a master they are 😵💫😎
Awesome video. I’ve been stepping up my lighting game recently as I prepare to shoot my first feature
That sounds fun!!!
good to see bobby lee again
Not to be a nerd - but the shot at 2:20 is GORGEOUS!!! Like - that is my JAM!!! It's the sort of insert I would expect from a Chris Nolan film or something. (The gritty bathroom shot is also very well done.) Thanks for what you do, Cam! God bless!
Autofocus anamorphic ;) stay tuned
@@cammackey Ahhh!!!! I was literally JUST wondering if there was such a thing!!!
0:06 what are some good affordable options for clamps to attach to beams, rafters etc.
i love seeing what you do with the fx3 and other sony with gmaster
Thanks for sharing.
Afforable filmmaking tech just keeps getting better nowadays!
For the bathroom light. You started off with natural lighting but it looked blue. Was the white balance changed to make it look blue??
What's the intro song called. It's a freaking banger.... Just like these lights are. I can't wait to get mine!
Makes my Amaran 60D look very dated on design and specs. I agree on small lights I use them more than my bigger lights. Thanks for sharing
Dang! Time to sell the 60w panel I just bought. Did not expect zhiyun to drop this lol, this is gold.
Great video brother
Haha you’ll see this soon!
@@cammackey 💪🏽✅
bro never missedd!
I think many folks have to realize when using these smaller and powerful lights is that you NEED to diffuse it. I think most beginner folks will think they will get amazing lighting from these from the get go. I like that you showed a simple and cheap solution like using a bounce to get the soft effect or else you would need a giant soft box with depth. Not enough people are talking about this when it comes to lighting.
Dang you're right man. Ive been doing this for a while so I forget the perspective of a newer shooter a lot. I'll try to remember to talk about that next time!
Hi Cam, I liked the video a lot, as always. The only thing I would wish for is that you put the camera settings in the shot when demonstrating the light. Because I kind of struggle with getting a perception of how bright the light really is. E.g. if the bathroom scene was shot at ISO 1000, f2.8, it's easier to get a feeling for the brightness, rather than just seeing the frame.
Solid fair point brutha. For some of the shots I did say the settings but cut it out cause I felt it wasnt important.. but I guess it was haha. For the bathroom scene I believe I was at ISO800 T2.8 1/50th shutter on the FX3
Amazing! Big fan from 🇨🇦 which lens did you use with the fx3 in the bathroom scene? Love the anamorphic look in that shot 🔥🔥
Blazar Remus 65mm!
@@cammackey wow it looks so good 🔥 thank you 💯🙏🏼
jeezus this is a gorgeous review. Did you also use a mist filter, or was all the hallation done in dehancer?
That’s chromatic aberration from the lenses. It’s funny, everyone b****es about lenses having chromatic aberration.. but then they stack on cheap filters and halation anyways haha.
@@cammackey some of us love our chromatic aberration and other lens imperfections 🖤🖤
Okay, so how did you get the look for the shot at 3:02? Obviously those were in-camera settings. Or, was that a grade that you put on after? Helppppp meeee!?! lol thank you for this video. I think I might snag this little, powerful light. I have the molus x100 and I love it!
So I did use my luts! But I didnt do anything crazy to the grade, My white balance was set to 4200K which helps get more of the blue look in camera.. plus the light I used overhead, was pushed toward the blue look, then the warm light from the other light.. thats it. It all comes down to lighting. Color grading can only do so much.
Do the luts for red and canon please!
Hi Cam, great video. i've two major questions, first I would like to know your sincerely opinion in wich light would you buy between this and the SMALLRIG RC60B, second do you think this kind of lights are good for photography on a go? I always preferred continuous light instead of speed light, I understand speelights or flashes ar powerful and best to override natural light. Many thanks, all the best
This light. Its smaller. And RGB. And you can buy multiple batteries for it and swap them as you need.
And these won’t key talent outdoors. Indoors they can. You’ll need a more powerful LED for something like that. Like a 600W LED through an umbrella will barely keep up with the sun
How do you get your grain to show up in your videos? When I add grain, RUclips compression turns it into pixelated artifacting. Make a video on export settings for youtube! please and thank you :)
I just use davinci and export into H264. Nothing fancy. I am using Dehancer for the film grain though and that’s the trick
Looks like a good addition to my setup though ;) Thanks. What lens type did you use in the first 15 sec? Really like the look. Must be anamorphic, right?
Blazar Remus 65mm!!!
@@cammackey saw your review about it. Lots of character, true. Need to test them someday ☺️
@@vividmotion66 they’re truly my fav
Awesome video as always Cam! Two questions, quite important ones. I'm keen to get one as I do a lot of corporate work.
1. Is the light noisy? And if so is it a lot for talking pieces?
2. I love using domes, does it put a lot of strain on the mount or locking mechanism? I know some smaller lights locking mechanism don't hold well for domes. Would love to know.
Keep up the great work as always Cam. Your videos always inspire me to do better.
1. In a warm room at full power, the fans do quick on. If it’s super close to talent then you’d might hear it but I think standard noise cancellation in post would kill it. But honestly for stuff like that.. you’re better off with a proper bigger light. Cause say if the interview goes on longer than an hour.. you’re going to need mroe battery. So better to get a proper plug in light. If it’s short interviews tho, you’ll be fine. But again 60w vs 300/500w.. different tools.
2. The bowens adapter gets mounted to the stand, not the light. So the light stand is holding on to the lighting modifier more than the light. It’s like mounting a telephoto lens to the tripod and having the camera hand freely. Much safer.
@@cammackey appreciate the response. That answers everything perfectly. As always thank you Cam. 🙏
Hey man you gonna do anything with Roadrunner for Fuji?? Man that would make my day...
Stay tuned!
@@cammackey thats what I wanted to hear 😎
That bowens adaptor is in the box or i have to buy it seperatly? or did it come from x100?
If you get the Combo or Pro pack the adaptor will be included.
Would your luts look bad on Fuji footage? Do you think you’ll make a version for Fuji?
They’re for Sony only currently. When I get a moment I’ll make them For Fuji. Just takes a lot of testing before I release them
This is exactly why I was waiting a couple weeks to drop $1500 on some more lights because I heard something new was coming from them. This is exactly what I was hoping for. By chance do you know if the batteries on the x100 can be swapped with the x60? Thanks for the video. 👊
Yup! Ive been swapping them back and forth
@@cammackey That is rad. 💯
I don't know man, I like the Neewer lights. The Neewer has an app that let's you use your camera on your phone, which you point at your light source, like the blue neon lite, and it automatically matches the color. It's insane.
Zhiyun has an app too
@cammackey I saw that but does it allow you to use your camera to match a light source? The Neewer app can use your phones camera to match the color of other light sources, so you can match all your lights.
Do these lights have an app to control the settings?
Yes
How does this light compare to the M20C (besides wattage)?
Completely different light. The M20C is a panel light while the X60 is a single source, meaning it can be modified and shaped better. Lot more power also.
BINGO
🥰
to bad i got one and it stoped working after 2 weeks of using it 2 times
I have a handful of their lights and they still work 🤷🏽♀️ sorry you had a bad experience though!!!
Let's see how many days before the battery dies forever.
the x100 is basically useless when you just need a low power setting, 1% to 1% power is actually the same output. Did shoot low light outdoor even 1% is way too bright with a7s3. (photo and video).
If you need something less bright, theres other tools for that. But whats cool is you can utilize an umbrella or something to diffuse it more and itll cut down on the exposure even more
@@cammackey but the problem is the 1% and 10 or even 13% power is basically the same output
@@tonehhh5454 I haven’t experienced that. But usually I’m not at 1%
Your videos are great but can we please stop calling ADs reviews in these super tacky disclaimers like "obviously this is sponsored". Why would that be obvious when you are pretending it's a review?
Got it
Lol You did a killer job editing this BTW. If I was Ziyun I would be pleased @@cammackey
Yongnuo YNLUX100 RGB is still much cheaper
A flashlight is also cheaper. Lol you do realize those are totally two different types of lights right.. that Yongnuo just looks like a rebranded smallrig light. Which is great, great lights. But this Zhiyun light is smaller than my iPhone…..
Yes, but that Yongnuo light is heavier and bulky
Hey, could you make an actual short film and use these lights or other lights as a bts product review? I know you mentioned that you want to tell a story with the lighting, so why not make a legit short story with an actual script and actors that the lighting supports? Just food for thought from a film student.
I plan on it... all I need is.... TIME haha. I got too much on my plate rn but I am dying to create some narrative pieces this year
@@cammackey No worries! Looking forward to them!
why don't ya try blasting some trash music in your professional production
Huh?
