Great Video , Many Thanks

I think communicting brightness of a light fixture using lux or footcandles would be more useful than using the exposure triangle. A single metric is easier to compare different lights. Further more, you need to take the light meter readings not just at the center of the beam, but also at the outter edge because even though the 1200D is 2/10 brighter at the center of the beam, but what about the overall volume of light?

great video! Such professional and comprehensive content is appreciated, keep it up! Thanks 😀

Busting the light meter out of a holster is a serious move. Love it.

Doing my own testing with the F10 and the 600 series lights, the only two lights it's really optimized for are the 600D and the 600X. For the 600C and the 1200D, you're far better off using the hyper-reflector set. The 600D with the F10 really heros on set.

How about 1200D using 15"Hyper reflector compare to 600D using F10 Full spot?

Loved the video! What's the faceted mirror you are using?

COB stands for "Chip on board" where the LEDs are a single large chip rather than individual diodes scattered in a pattern. Love the video and way to represent Rockford!

Andrew lock has a video that explains the same allegory. You can’t go wrong with old school Arri hmis. But I do love the compact trade offs of LED and color control.

CF12 is a much needed upgrade 🌟

Both are quintessential light shaping equipment for any serious Gaffer.

Stoked to watch. Been using my fresnel and adding some bigger LEDs shortly. Been trying to snipe bicolor versions.

this guys appearance makes it feel like it's a parody skit. or is it just me...

Your biggest complain is also my biggest complaint. It makes no sense the projector or the mount can't be rotated.

Great video love your content. Have you seen the Godox SA-17? Very comparable to the Dedo projector attachment, according to Gaffer & Gear. My last video was on it actually, would love if you checked it out! Keep up the good work 👍🏼

I just discovered this light today so as a 60b II owner, what is the primary difference between the two? I've actually used the 60b II as a spotlight for a fashion show and i never felt like it was lacking. So im interested to see what the 60cr is doing more of.

Great Video , Love to see your Videos on RGB Lights Nanlite Alien 300C as well an Nanlite FC500C

Awesome!

7:18 new gaffer here. I disagreed re: apps, especially with the development of Sidus Link… until I needed more than a couple lights. That’s the top of the line manufacturers app, and it cant seem to handle 4 lights. 100xS, 60xS, and a PT4c worked fine. But once I added the 200xS, it started doing all your typical app BS (controlling the wrong head, or multiple heads, etc.) Any tips until I can afford a DMX setup?

If it is Spectrum C stand you're referring to at 2:40 in this clip then i must say it's not cheap as described. For most people, it works great and does exactly what it should but like you mentioned...your preference for other brands...

Wish the 240 version had that pop up softbox

Glad I found this channel

Thank you, Josiah! I recognized you from the many on set workshops from Shane’s site. Great stuff! Very valuable and humorous too. What I noticed is that you are very quick with changing the set-ups, which is super important on set. So wondering if you could share your knowledge how to quickly adjust c-stands (for instance more detail on where to place which hand when mounting a floppy or what to do with the knuckle so the flag slides into the hole right away, from which angle to insert the floppy, etc.) Basically how to get up to speed when setting up grip equipment. Thanks again, Matze

Awesome video thank you so much. I like the sense of humor.😂

Amazing video, thank you 🙌🏽 Subscribed

The information is very valuable, thanks.

we need the updated beefy baby and mombo combos etc. video! Please tell me its coming

The video starts, and I think, "Oh look, he's got my C-stand there." A second later, "Don't buy this; this is bad". At least now I know how to use it properly hahaha.

'I 'm not gonna AndrewLocke this' 😂 The Aussie gets a reputation fir being thorough! What if you removed the factory diffusion and put a 4x or 2x3 like the studio setup?

Thanks for this video. I wonder if it is possible to use Sirus Pro for Nanlite DMX control ? The LumenRadio CRMX is interesting. Can you get an user friendly iPad app for and control different light manufactures ?

What is the difference between x class and xr class?

If the orbiter had been three times the brightness it would still be relevant.

I tried out the skypanel X at arri on a test shoot for a feature, heres what i can say: -Its heavy. -The hyperoptics are impressive, i hate using the vortex naked, the shadows are just disgusting, the X i would absolutely use as a hard light, it also has crazy minimal spill coming of the lenses. However. It is NOT "as good as a fresnel fixture" but its close. -when using it as a soft light its not all that different from the vortex or even the old skypanel. -the new lightengine is great, amazing color -the crmx is very well done, even just the fact that it has legacy skypanel crmx profiles from the get go is awesome -its heavy.

Great deep dive!

Muy útil. Gracias.

well...I bought the wrong stand and the cheap brand you showed. Thanks for the quick course.

I just discovered your channel. I'm heavily invested in the Creamsource ecosystem and YT suggested your Gemini vs Creamsource video. I love your content!

Hi great review I have a question it is about 120C vs F22c which one you think is better Thx

Seriously the best c-stand tutorial on TH-cam. So many of the other videos are teaching people to use c-stands the wrong way or are leaving out key information. Your video cleared up so many questions for me! One question I do have is that in the video you mentioned that while c-stands often carry heavier loads than a light, they are not light stands. I'm curious about the other uses of c-stands beyond what you covered here.

Don't stop doing theses plzzz

Fantastic explanation on C stands.

I believe it's called a Stinger after it's creator, Alfred R. Stinger. Pronounced stin-jer.

In jail, you make a “stinger” by cutting the cord off an appliance. Then you can cook with the ends by contacting them to a metal surface. You get shocked a lot during all this, hence the term “stinger.” Jodi is another jail word, which the military share. It’s not uncommon for jail words to cross reference into other lexicons, or vice versa.

Great video Josiah. I do think theres definitely a point where really big cables get wrapped over-under again and that is when they get to big to hold in one hand while wrapping them. having them lay on the floor and just putting loops over-under on top of it is much easier and faster then trying to wrap them over-over with a cable you can't easily just untangle with a little flick.

IMO it does make sense to bag the second leg facing away from the load to counter balance as a secondary measure after placing the first big leg under the load (provided the bag doesn’t touch the ground). It also serves a secondary function to counter any force pushing over the stand at a diagonal 45 between the leg orientations. Curious if you’ve found the above to be less effective than bagging the first big leg?

This was entertaining and informative. Please keep em coming.

Great video, Josiah! It was a nice surprise to learn you had a channel. Will be tuning in more often for sure 😁

Now Neewer C-stand from China is the leading in the world.

Where can I get these?

I don't work on a film set, and never anticipate having to use one of these. However, I found myself watching to the end.
