Gaffer & Gear 231 - Amaran Tubes 

These reviews are some of my favorite content on RU-vid. Thanks for all you do Andrew!

👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾 Love the extra tip for finding the center of balance of a tube!😎

I appreciate your videos so much. You're the only guy doing these in depth reviews for professionals and you do it so well.

Wow, I've never seen such a thorough review of Amaran lights. Thanks for all your hard work! Subscribed immediately after watching this video. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for making this one , I've been on the fence and waiting for this review 👍 Appreciated

Fantastic review and walk-through as always! 👏🏻

Great breakdown as usual. The lack of a decent ip rating is the killer for me here in Ireland, since rain is our constant companion. Same drawback for the infinibars (especially for their price).

I flippin' love this channel. So informative.

Great review. Love the balance tip on the non-pixel tube with a battery😊

Hi - As always a great review 👍 I have been a gaffer for 30+ years and didn't know "the balance tip" Thanks 😎 Cheers from Denmark .

thank you for this great in depth test!!!

Love it. Looking forward to your thoughts and comparison to the Aputure Infinibars!

Have been using multiple of the T4c for almost a year. THEY. ARE. FANTASTIC. And they've revolutionized how we light. But I think you've missed the most important advantage of the separate battery T4c: It is a perfect lightsaber. :) Wonderful reviews, I love your content. Helps a lot. Greetings from the other side of the world.

Awesome explanations.

Good to know that you can stand on them. But seriously, Love your reviews.

I would have sold my sister to have a light saber when I was a kid.

Hi Andrew, thank you for the hard work you put into all of your videos and the value you have for all of your viewers. Especially I wanna thank you for finally taking a look at these two options from Amaran. Your opinion on any lighting equipment is always so important for me because you really test everything and speak openly about the slightest flaws. Unfortunately my experience with the T series was really bad because the battery grip mounting system is or was not that durable. Let me explain: I had to send one of my T2cs with a broken locking mechanism in for repair after I bought it in October 2022 and used it only a couple of times. After three months of contact with anon-reachable customer service here in Europe received actually a completely new one (after three months) and then I discovered in direct comparison to my second original and still functioning T2c that they have changed the mounting system a little bit and it felt a lot more durable with less wiggle and flex. In your video you clearly had the second and fixed implementation but I find it ridiculous that Aputure sends the flawed first version to their customers, then it breaks and then they have such a bad customer service that you wait months for the replacement even though they obviously know about the first gen issue. We all know that you have a good contact with Aputure and I would just like to know what their comment is on that this situation because I basicly felt scammed. Have you heard anything about this issue? Thank you so much once again!

I got to use the T4c a few times on set. I feel like these fixtures could have been released under the Aputure line. I think I still prefer the design of the SGC tube lights over the Amaran ones though. And they both work with Sidus Link.

I have some lights with DMX over USB-C with a power pass through, and what I did to simplify cable clutter was get a 2 meter USB-C extension cable, that way rather then having 3 wires running to the light I just have one and I can keep the cable clutter away from where the light is.

16:40 wow those clamps are terrifying

Thank you

I was hoping a review for lightsabers, that thumbnail is great

Thanks

It'd be nice to know which type of battery cells inside, panasonic? samsungs? or unbranded which don't last long before their cycle is over.

Hi Andrew, are you planning on doing any videos with the INFINIBARS?

waiting for a review on aputure infinibar

Hello mr. Andrew, any plans comparing Titan vs Infinibars Great review as always 🙌🏻🙌🏻

just a word of caution, if you buy the single pt4c tube, you don't get the stand or the dmx cable

11:46 I noticed that yours has what looks like a bolt that secures the locking mechanism of the battery on the tube side of the light. I have 4 4ft tubes and 2 2ft tubes. None of my tubes have that and I have always felt that that is a weak spot in the lights. Infact, some of mine wobble. Do all of your T4c lights have that bolt?

I'm missing a summary at the end and comparison to PavoTube II. I appreciate the tests You do, however less technical summary is what I would like to hear from You. Thanks anyway, greate content

Can you Review the new aputure Electro storm Lights If you can get then?

What is the comparison with the Godox,, wasn't it better as they got the same function ? thanks

Will you be giving your thoughts on the infinibars?

What du you think about the heat ? I think they run pretty hot ! 😅

I've owned the T-seires tubes for a while now, not sure if its just me but the batteries seem to never hold their charge. I always have to re-charge the batteries even if I haven't used them for a couple days.

The best part is when Andrew says: “I am your father…”

At 3M? Is this correct? Maybe at 1 meter?

why no negatives for each of them?

PT4c compared to infinibar?

this video made you look shorter than 4feet
