@ConnerFoxx 4 года назад

Honestly, having some great lighting capability is fantastic, even if you only have a smartphone to film with. If you have a nice lighting kit, and you learn to use it just with just your phone, you'll have some of the skills needed to get good results with a better camera. But even then, smartphones can go pretty far with good lighting! There's a bit of a craze for trying to get the latest cameras with the best shooting specs, but honestly you can make a better, wider variety of short films with great lights and an entry level camera than you can with a premium camera and nothing else. If cool lights peak your interest, I say you're being totally reasonable.

@cheshiredaveus 3 года назад

Thanks, Gene! I've been trying to decide between the 300D II or the 300X. I'm sold on the X. Side note: don't put the lid of one of those OXO containers in the dishwasher. They don't make it obvious, but it's not dishwasher-safe. I lost two of those lids to that; the pop mechanism stopped working and there was no way to fix it.

Mine arrives in a few days. Mainly a still shooter but more and more video being included in jobs. My last job the client wanted GIFs and I did a few of them as video GIF files and used Dedo and panel lights and that is what made me get the 300x. Just wanted more versatility and power.

@kipling1957 4 года назад

Just used one on a doc shoot. That variable CT was super useful in matching indoor ambient nasty fluorescents at 4000K. Enough power to balance and fill large bright windows @ 6000K daylight with a Lantern attached. Noticeable unexpected improvement in skin tones especially at tungsten settings compared to my Draycast LED panels-that are actually very good (97 CRI spec.) This is my favourite new light and now I want another.

@mikewinburn 4 года назад

too late now, but i would have loved to know what the t-stop or f/stop was at 6:12 on the 300X. Since 5 ft, iso100 1/50 resulted in f/4 on the Arri650, looks like if metered, that 300X would have been at f/8...giving me far more latitude in actual use (either further back, greater punch once modified, or simply flexibility w/ outside use.) Telling was that the Wescott, i assume also at 5ft, needed a bumped up ISO and f/2.8 to achieve almost the same punch as the Arri 650. Given this demonstration, despite the RGB, i'd have to skip it. That was an impressive presentation.
