Does the battery grip need to be attached to run it? I'm assuming not, So if you had a scene where you had to hide the battery you could just run it externally with a longer cable. I'm guessing you could run it off of other batteries such as D-tap as well? Also, even though you said there was a lot of plastic, as I understand it, all the mounting points are metal. Thanks for the review :-)
Hello, i have a Problem with my Aputure t4c tube light. Its Not working, i connect the Power cable and press on and it wont goes on. Nothing Happen when i switch the Power Button. Anyone help? During A Video SHOOT the tube light Controlled with the App and then light goes out. Is there A lock Button or something?
You forgot to mention SGC tube lights which are arguably the best tube lights on the market. They have the best interchangeable batteries of all the options you listed.
These look cool but correct me if I'm wrong, the aputure t2c and t4c don't do individual pixel animations right? I always see them as a solid color and never with any animated color runs down the length of the tube.
Correct! No individually programmable “pixels” or “light engines” or “light zones” on these. A few different names being thrown about for this feature.
The External Battery Grip ruins the edge to edge design. Using tubes in scene is where you need battery power the most, and with this you either have to plug in cable or have a big thick black grip at the end, neither is “clean” SGC already came up with the right solution which is have internal removable batteries. Just copy them
Yeah thats true, but only for very special use-cases, imo. A lot of the time the black grip at the end either won't be seen at all in a shot or it can't be spotted in a negative way (i believe - i nerver used them). Maybe build in swapable batteries were to expensive? But I totally see that your point may be a problem in certain situations

Nice review! A huge group review for the available tube lights in the market will be awesome :D
Yeah. Would really like to know how it compares with the Pavotube II 30x.
We love your thorough reviews, Graham. Thank you for the shout-out. We enjoyed having you in the studio.
Thank you Rev Studio!
What clamp and magic arm are they using at 1:50 to hold the tube lights please? 😮
Really helpful price comparison to other LED tube lights at 05:30. ☺️✌️

Really good review, good host 👍🏼

What stands did you use for the video?

@@CameraGraham awesome thanks for confirming. I suppose if an Aputure branded tube were to come out that would be a feature to help set them apart.
@@justenn9949 100%! That seems like a feature they’d add in some future hypothetical tube release.
How do I find the Matthews clamp at b&h?
Would you recommend these over the pavotube X tubes??
No mention of the external DC cable dongle which is a major disappointment.
I talk about this at 5:08 and wish it was a locking lemo :)
can some one tll me what i need to mount these?
You didn't address brightness...

@@paulusschmaulus101 agree with you Paul. Good for some situations and not for others.
CineD when you gonna test Z9 12bit N-Raw.
Hi Jaspreet. Thank you for asking. We hope to get the Z 9 back at our office soon. Thank you
We can trust the advice for a person that have a such poor lighting on his video??? 🤷🤷
Hehe, okay I’ll bite - how so? :)
