Darn you - I didn't realize I needed this until your video! I just ordered the P60C RGB on your BH link - perfect for my livestream lighting, thanks Gerald!
Been thinking of upgrading to those as well. Like, I got two light bulbs that cover me pretty well but these, combined with the MC-11s I got for photography, will make the setup a little nicer, tidier and better to control in my opinion!
Was actually looking for some kind of light that's easy to move when filming documentary stuff in woodshops and such. Definitely gonna get myself a 60x. Awesome content, as always!
was about to pull the trigger on the aputure 200x but after seeing i can put my sony NPF battaries on this thing THATS gonna be my go too just in the nick of time you come through for us Gerald thanks!
9:48 Oh wow, off topic, but that footage is looking good at high ISO. I always felt bad for going up that high with artificial light setups - no more. Those are beautiful. I've been thinking about proper quality lights, the ease of working with the soft box and their power (plus neat user interface) seem really convincing! :)
Great vid, as always. If I'm looking to buy gear, I check first to see if it's been Undone. Gotta admit, though, I watch you and Pete sometimes just to get my fill of Canadian pronunciations. (As if us south-of-the-border folks have a clue on some words.) Keep up the great work, man!
can you please tell me where i can buy this black shelf or stand that is shown left and right in your background? Looks very nice, I've been looking for this for a long time
Firstly you couldn't pay me to hold that light under my chin like you did! :) Kudos! But seriously, I'm looking for a simple lighting set up for a very small windowless art studio (producing small paintings as well). I'm told by pro artists that 5000K temp., high CRI above 90 and 1500 to 2000 Lux on artwork are the goals. My Q.s are can I get away with one of these lamps (the P60x) only? Can I use either the supplied soft box or umbrella or (?) reflecting panel to diffuse the light and reduce shadows and still achieve 1500 to 2000 Lux? Or if too much Lux will just dimming solve that problem? I may either mount it with a C-clamp table light stand because floor stands are just too bulky for my room. I also considered the Amaran Cob 60x with some kind of diffuser though it seems more of a spot. Advice welcome as artist's just don't get into as much detail! thanks!
Gerald great video, when’s the next vlog? ;) I could see this being a good starter light for someone who doesn’t have one or would you buy a neweer or something cheaper for a first light? Thx.
Gerald I really admire the sober way that you review gear. Most people in, no matter the subject, put out a lot of bad information. The thumbnail doesn't fit with your channel. You have a great dry sense of humor but please don't go down the bad path. I think you should stick to your guns. Life isn't all about maximizing income and returns. There are so many cool directions in which you could take your channel. How about interviewing film makers. My guess is that you've earned a lot of respect. You speak well and have a great demeanor. One of the other film channels has now turned into the host constantly giggling for the camera and playing some cloying open source soundtrack while he moves his face in for the camera kiss. Flash to him riding a jet ski across some mirror like northern lake.
@@geraldundone sorry didn’t mean to make you feel bad. You’re right though we all need to be silly sometimes. Keep up the great work. There are a lot of people out here that admire you.
Can you please make a video of Tiffen vs Schneider tru-match variable nd mk ii filter in these settings Shutter 1/50 with f1.4 or 1.8 at ISO 800 and use the minimun to maximum density of the Vnd filter ? I searched alot but there is not a single proper video of Schneider anyone made on any platform and I’m really looking forward for your comparison video.
Both of my p60c are delivering 4000lux at 1m, 5600k. The store I bought it from also tested their units and got the same results as I do. I think there may be a problem with the new p60s delivered this month. Anyone else? Aputure's been no help at all to solve this.
I really wish I knew an easy way to connect 2-3 of these and control/power them as if they were one light. I like the idea of having 4-6 of these and choosing to combine them for a more powerful light or use them individually as needed. 2-3 of these connected together is nearly a P300, and the price wouldn't be too far off either
@@samvdheijden i’m positive there are ways to do it, it’s just a matter of how many headaches it adds. the easier it is to connect and mount the lights as if they were one, the easier it would be to, say, make and mount a DIY 2-panel soft box and grid. there’s also the matter of power - it would be really useful on a product like this to be able to daisy chain power from one panel to another so you could power a whole array of them via one power supply or V-mount battery. And before anyone says it I know that’s not how these were designed to be used and that’s fine. I just always love the idea of a swiss army tool in filmmaking. The less gear i have to haul around, the more ways there are to use any one tool, the less any given tool gets in the way of me making something cool - the better. Modular light panels are an unexplored market IMO, and it’s very possible that’s for good reason. maybe it’s too expensive, too complicated, not enough would sell, etc. But the idea is extremely appealing to me
you showing the actual power of the light in your office was the most valuable thing i've seen in any review about these lights, as a beginner its hard to get a feel for just a pure lumens number. So thanks a lot for that, now i know this will be sufficient for what i need it for!
Thanks for the awesome review. These little lights are amazing. I know you listed the umbrella you use, but the link only goes to a list of umbrellas on B&H and Amazon. Are you using a ProFoto? Which size? Thanks man!
just a heads up: the links send to different products.Maybe it's because i'm from Europe, but it never was a problem on other videos, i just thought i mention it in case it is not just my problem. great review as usual.
one of my biggest complaints with the 60x is that it is very unstable over battery power. Says you have 30 minutes, then shuts off two minutes later. Turn it back on and says you have 20 minutes remaining, then shuts off again after 5. Caused a bit of embarrassment on a client shoot. Hopefully they've improved that in the P60 series.
What is the core difference between a $150 LED light panel（like GVM 1200D）and a $5,000 LED light panel（like Arri Skypanel and Gemini)? Why can their prices vary so much? Are they even using the same LED technology?
This overall video was disjointed as you said you had to film another but good to see. You got a thumbs up for the music at the end. I'm not a fan of your intro, I always skip past it I think it is time to update it.
