What's your SUPER SECRET lighting hack!?

@cjandersen14 4 года назад

I use my iPhone light with a tissue as a diffusor pretty often haha, works alright but its nor overly bright so not nearly as high quality as yours!!

@floproductions517 4 года назад

@@cjandersen14 HAHAHA pretty good idea I guess

@SidneyDiongzon 4 года назад

Here’s an idea! Bounce through iPhone light to a large sheet of aluminum foil!

@cjandersen14 4 года назад

Sidney Diongzon ohhhh that’s an awesome idea I’ll try that! Thanks man 🙏🏻

@SidneyDiongzon 4 года назад

Anytime!

@dibeabnu 3 года назад

I want to thank you...from the bottom, deepest part of my heart. No one out there ACTUALLY explained how to use these compact lights as main lights. They all simply just turned it on while still having their key light on.

@khi_has_spoken Год назад

2 years later, I want to echo this same exact sentiment. Seriously man, thank you. This is gold.

Exactly!

I’m so happy for you go full time RU-vid. You’re the reason I bought an a6500 and the sigma 18 and 30. You’re opinion was correct. Those lenses are incredible. Best to you! Thank you for doing what you do. Keep up the great work.

@nicholasroessler2547 4 года назад

I like how the description of how the lume cube took longer than the hack! This definitely inspired me and I'm subscribing.

@Samdalabona 4 года назад

The fact that it tells you how long it will last in a time value is so cool. I was on a search for a mini panel light a month back and went for the "budget" option that everyone suggested on RU-vid. It was an ESDDI LED Light, super clunky in person, lasted max 30 minutes when fully charged and additional batteries cost $20. This seems like a significantly better choice for not too much more, also a good medium point before the Aputure MC RGB!

@SidneyDiongzon 4 года назад

Yeah, I really love that feature. Guessing how long that light will last from other lights can have its challenges. So seeing it on the screen is incredibly handy!

@GadgetsGearCoffee Месяц назад

That last part is keyyyyy now I gotta hack something together to easily assemble and disassemble

@tommynikon2283 2 года назад

Bought my 1st product, the Mini a few weeks ago. LOVE it. On-camera, in-studio, I use it as an AF aid....helping end the "searching". Off-camera, I can light up small stuff that I'd usually use a speed light flash for. I also use it for general utility- like a flashlight. I think Lume Cube products should be staple of every shooter's arsenal of tools; they really do open up possibilities...ONLY limited by your own creative juices.

Your video made me realize I could turn my small LED light right to the wall instead of right in my face, and that it made no difference (with full power against 15% before). Thank you so much for that !

@BucketListTravellers Год назад

Great review! We'll have to try that white t-shirt suggestion :D

@dwmspace 4 года назад

4:41 you can see that your bigger softbox is turned on bouncing light off your wall. So the end result we’re seeing with your key light setup is also influenced by this? Would be nice to see how it looks with just the mini and reflector lighting your face to get an accurate representation.

@wanderlustandsparkle4395 Год назад

This is also good for attaching to a bike handle bar if say when it's dark and need to get to and from somewhere on your bike. Or in a mandatory evacuation, and your bike is your only means of transportation. This light is good for that, too.

@JanineMKartist 2 года назад

@BackusCreativeImaging 4 года назад

Combine some of these awesome lights with a Crane M2 gimbal, Sony ZV-1 camera, that ZV-1 cage by SmallRig and a microphone of your choice, the no compromise NATural ND filters by Tiffen (1,2,3, and 4 stop ones along with the lens mate kit to stick on the filter threads on the ZV-1), and you got a slick little film making kit. Don't use a variable ND filter if you care about color rendition. The internal ND of the ZV-1 is about 3 stops so that's good and it does not tint the image like the cheaper ND filters do. I'm embarrassed to be a Panasonic GH5 and GH5S owner after they made the G100 to compete with the ZV-1. Just bought a ZV-1. I love it. I'm buying another too. Thank you Sony for trying :)

@SurajBoddu 4 года назад

Cool video as usual. But wasn't there another light right behind the reflector? Looked like a 120D with the light dome? I'm guessing that would be a "general background" light but don't you think that also affects positively and helps the whole setup in general? Would've been nice to see what it looks like JUST with the lumecube.

Thanks so much for your informative video. Sorry, you may have reviewed the warmth settings of the light but I missed it. What is the warmth rating of this mini light? It looks very cold/white. I'm only interested in 3K ratings or less because of the harshness of white light (nothing over 3K). Thanks, again for this interesting video "spotlighting" mini lights that might be useful for folks that travel.

@SidneyDiongzon 4 года назад

The "warm" settings goes to 3200K, which is tungsten. Glad this was helpful!

Whelp, that's something else to add to my list. I've got a couple of the Aputures already, but these are looking pretty sweet. Plus that diffuser that comes with it looks like a much better solution than what comes with the M9 or the MX.

@dwmspace 4 года назад

Do you think a similar result can be achieved if the light was behind a reflector using the diffusion cloth layer? Or would it be less bright and create a hot spot?

@SidneyDiongzon 4 года назад

I think it would create more of a spot light effect if done that way. I like bouncing off solid surfaces because it spreads the light more evenly!

@dwmspace 4 года назад

Sidney Diongzon true, makes sense, thanks!

@HamidShibataBennett 4 года назад

@dwmspace 4 года назад

Would using the original bigger sized “lume cube panel” work the same with more output or cast a shadow off the bounce since the light itself has a bigger shape?

@SidneyDiongzon 4 года назад

I would assume the bigger light would be output more power
