What do you think of these budget RGB lights? I do want to mention that both of these lights are NOT weather resistant but both lights do have options to power them via V-Mount batteries for outdoor use using separate accessories. Either using GVM's V-Mount Power Supply Box or Aputure's V-Mount Power Station.
I was torn between these 2 lights for the past couple of months. I went ahead and purchased the GVM mainly because of price and build quality. I’ve only had it a week, so we’ll see. But I really don’t think you could go wrong with either one.
Hey! Awesome comparison! I saw that you create with an FX30 and wanted to ask you if you felt like 300w was a sufficient amount of power to key for it?
This video and exact models of lights came at the perfect time lol. For my decision, it's really coming down to the plastic knobs of the gvm vs the metal ones on the amaran. Could you see yourself accidently tightening the gvm knobs too tight and breaking it?
While I could see that happening, it would take a lot of force to break it. I think just being gentle with them and only tightening them as much as needed will avoid that concern.
@@BenGleasonMedia right on thanks for the reply 💯 after watching the rest of the video I think I'm leaning toward the amaran again for the light qual 😆 but now I'm wondering if I should wait to see if there'll be a sweet black Friday deal 🤔
Cause I don’t have a Nanlite 300c. But I will say, from what understand about that light, I would pick these two over that light solely for the fact that the nanlite 300c doesn’t come with a travel case.
Comparing an Amaran to GVM is like comparing classic coke to a generic coke. I worked with that GVM before (not mine but company's I used to work at) and it's horrible. Aputure all the way.

Could you have adjusted the tint on the GVM to match the amaran?
Green and Magenta controls are very underrated when it comes to lights, especially when mixing lights from different brands.
Agreed, the green tint on this light is a huge bummer. Will the GM offset be able to correct this?
Great comparison. I really appreciated the white light comparisons.
Thanks bro! 🥲
i appreciate this video as i'm in the market for getting a light (leaning on amaran 300c). you've gained a sub!
Thanks for watching! 🙌

How did it go? Planning to get the GVM
@@LanceRazon I’m very pleased with the light. I haven’t used it on a job yet, but I’ve used it on my personal projects and it’s been amazing.
For me, also working in the concert industry, having that DMX port makes it a whole lot more interesting
Wish I knew more about it to test it out! 😩 maybe I’ll have to do some research and try it out!

Great video! Check out some of Colbor’s lights as well. Really great bang for the buck
I’ve seen those from other creators but would love to check them out myself! 👏 thanks for watching!

@CharlesLucky oooooh there is a good chance Amaran will have a good Black Friday Sale
@@BenGleasonMedia bet I'm waiting then 💯
@ DO IT! 🙌
What are some good key lights
Both of these would make fantastic key lights! But if you need more output the GVM 650B or the Aputure 600d would be great options as well
Why didn’t you include the nanlite 300c ?

@ that’s true but for the price, you can’t beat it, it’s cheaper than both of those

What about ameran 300c vs nanlite 300c
@susiesanchez9537 nanlite are way better comparison than GVM.
Nanlite fs300c >>>>
The prices are not as stark in other marketplaces across the world.
gvm is so damn ugly. But not $150 ugly
