what's below underrated ?? that's what he is !!

Did you happen to test the brightness between the 600cii and the 600d with the provided reflector, and not the Fresnel? I remember Aputure saying they made the COB wider on the original 600c so it did not perform well with the F10 as it wasn't optimized for it. Is that the same case on the V2? Based off their product sheet the max intensity should be closer than 2/3 stop using the reflector.

Could you say whether there's a hot spot on this light on the new 600c ii with its hyper reflector? One of the great things about the previous 600c was the fact it didn't have the hot spot with the hyper reflector that the other ls600 lights were notorious for, is it the same here with the new dish?

Great video

"No plan survives first contact with the enemy." good line.

These do seem like great lights, and the built in magnets are nice. As a buyer, though, I'd be worried about Aputure releasing a new version with their newer color mixing tech and rendering these obsolete. Honestly, at the price they're at it isn't too much more to just buy titans and get the rental value and IP rating that comes with those. Godox also has some IP rated tubes that are brighter but are also substantially cheaper than titans. So these are kind of in a middle ground imo.

Would love to see these compared to the pt4c

Great review again. Love it

This video brought clarity to a tough subject.

Thanks so much for your sharing!!❤

Awesome dude! Keep'em coming.

Nice review. I think this light would be great as a hair light when boomed overhead for photographing a group of people. Glad you were able to review this new light. I was hoping you could review the 240c. It looks like they wanted the 240cl. I had no idea this light even came out until seeing it on your site.

color rendition doesnt look great. is this the light or the camera or the color grade?

They also have the "coupler" to attach two of them, which creates 4x2 panel :D. Nice

Nice. I especially love it's fanless. I think you haven't mentioned max output :(, have to go to their page. I knew this light will come out, cause they shared the manual long time ago :D. Is velcro on diffusion, crate and softbox falling apart? I got this issue with my new 240C, but it has different softbox design. I got a replacement softbox from Nanlite service and it's the same crap ... looks like lately they wanted to cut costs and ordered the cheapest velcro possible. Apart of not being able to attach the velcro anymore it's real health hazard. When detaching any piece of softbox velcro hooks fly anound to be inhaled or eaten. Two of them got into my eye ... not a great experience ...

damn, super hyped for this

Excellent, well done

hey do you still recommend the aputure nova p300c ? i have it in my kit

I want to see a review like this but of the ARRI Orbiter. Just to see how ARRI would hold up to your scrutiny.

My head exploded after digesting so much data :D. Great review :D

Loved the video. You have a unique style... Please keep posting....<3

Thank you! Like and sub deserved.

is the case larger because of the new dish design?

Great… was thinking it would be nice to make all the graphs and charts a downloadable option. Agree on the gut punch (I own 2 mark 1) and agree this is a stop gap between the current RGBWW and the next step… with Aputure acquisition of Prolycht and the addition of indigo in the newer amaran and electro storm… one has to think the next colored lights will be a major shift away from what they’re currently doing… maybe RGBIACL? Nice work here, especially because I’d never have the patience so super appreciate seeing all this data you collected. I think I’m ok with my mark 1’s and will await the next generation…

fantastic stuff!!

Why do you think it is that it is common practice to put the camera on the shadow side? I understand what it does, the change in depth, the shaping, the definition and so on, but WHY....? So much portrait photography is front lit or lit from the same side as the camera with great results. Take a look at award winning portrait photography, it's everywhere. It would be understandable in cinema to orient the camera on the shadow side with far side key for moodier, grittier, darker tone films, but it's practically all of them...and yet photography practices do not follow this....at least not as standard practice. The main difference I can think of it time. We take in shots in cinema for far less time than examining a portrait photo, maybe it is useful to quickly get a sense of shape... still I feel this does not fully explain it....Have you ever been given an explanation on the why? Thoughts?

If I can request two topics; I'd love a video where you explain the sequence that you follow for lighting a set relative to the shot. For instance would the camera placement already be decided and you will light around that spot so the camera is not on the key side, or do you light for the scene and then the camera is placed on the shadow side, so camera position following lighting....or does it change shot to shot, how does that sequence and plan work? Also I'd love a video on shooting day for night especially when the actors are using illuminated props like flash lights or phone lights etc.

I want to emphasise to please keep this format for your videos! It's perfect! The decision to not have an annoying intro, the amount of time the in-between titles are onscreen and the animation style are all great, the pace is perfect, the music choice is great, the graphical aids, all superb. The clear, instructive, educational videos are the best. As long as you keep doing these I'm sure this channel will take off.

Your video pace, clarity and density of information is extremely good and explanations are very well constructed. This channel will certainly rise to the top of this niche given enough time and videos, amazing work.

Amazing info. The clarity and information density is fantastic.

Amazing information

Brilliant. Clear and to the point.

Great Video! 👌 Where in the Sidus App can I find this calculator? I only found an optics calculator, that doesn't allow me to choose specific fixture models or modifiers...

dude this is seriously helpful content, I feel like there aren’t enough gaffers showing off their craft on here. This is especially helpful for a beginner dp such as myself, more so than any video on lenses, cameras, gear etc. Looking forward to seeing more of your content in the future. Thanks again

Man, awesome review! Thanks for the comparison with the F22c. Btw, whats the brightest of them? In your graph the Pavoslim is 3000/2000 Lux at 3 feet, is that measurement with or without any of the diffusers? What about the f22c lux at the same conditions? Sorry for so many questions but I'm about to buy one of them and want to be sure!

That's insane

Thank you so much bro. A lot of effort put into this and helped a lot!

Please do More, It is Incredible for beginner DOPS. Could you Do a lighting masterclass on different type of Lighting setups for beginners? Also the Lighting Equipments which are used.

New fan of your videos!!!

Great comparison, main problem i can see is we probably like some that are a little bit more saturated so with the aputure 600x could change my decision Great job anyway, probably the best method of review of rags in all youtube

Love the intro! Thanks for the insight

Pup at at 3:31 = instant thumbs up

What is CR mex that it misses? Thank you.....

love the fast build!

I hope you get your hands on the 240c

Hello, I have a question regarding Bi-Color vs Daylight and the fact that Bi-Color uses half of it's LED diodes depending on the color temperature. Are the advertised lux measurements of Bi-Color lights a sum of both cold and warm LED arrays or just one at a time. For example I'm eyeing a Neewer CB60B and it boasts 34 000 lux at 1 meter, but is that when the color temperature is set to around 4500K, so both arrays are more or less fired up or not. Thanks!

03:50 Junior receiver/pin? I think you mean "baby".

you were made to do this. great breakdown dude

Great job taking some very difficult subject matters and explaining them clearly! My only note (and I know how much extra work this is, specially as a 1 man band, so know that its relatively minor) is mixing in more real world examples from interviews you've lit as you discuss different lighting styles/looks. You did a great job with the graphics but I think a little bit more show and less tell would elevate the content.

stil good in 2024?
