good video. i like how the review is a good how to and at the same time a bit of a tongue in cheek review on the things you don't love/want to spend extra on but have managed to keep working with.
This June Rayzr 7 MC 400 1x2 panels will be available at B&H. They supposedly have a power input of over 400 watts, so may be as bright as the S60-C, have a bunch of effects and color gel settings. I do want to get my hands on one and test it. Besides being 1/3 the cost it's about 1/2 the weight of the S60. I work with a gaffer who has a few Razyr 7 lights and he loves them- very high build quality.
Depends how far away the subject is from light- with a wide lens that implies the light won't be too close. Outdoors we usually start with at least an M18 and go bigger, through a frame of diffusion. Or a reflector/large frame, bouncing the sun or bright sky. S60 as key on a sunny day- that's a tough one, but as always, depends on the setup.
Certainly one of the most requested lights with shoots that have budgets. Important if you're a rental house. Not as important for any production with a budget. Lots of interesting lights on the market now, at a significantly lower price point. But again, if you rent, you gotta have 'em.

Why would you use a SkyPanel S60 to key when you could use a Tuneable COB Bownes mount and Dome?
Thank you. I like to see what is state of the art to buy the best cheap alternatives.

Amazing video. TY
Is the skypanel able to light a subject in exteriors on a sunny day? Would it be reasonable tu use it with wide lenses in those conditions?

Thank you, that was very useful
Thanks for watching!
Crazy to think this light is more expensive than the S35 Red Komodo. But I guess it's the best light money can buy.

@@cinemak1759 True. I'll bet I'll get laughed off a hollywood set if I show up with my Godox SL60 lights.
@@cinemak1759 Which light at a good price can be the equivalent of the Arri Skypanel? Thanks!
@@marcoaslan Aputure P600C. Maybe Nanlux 650C but I've never used one.
@@cinemak1759 thanks!
