I hope to find some more of your reviews. You hit just the right tone on pointing out features and foibles without nit picking mostly irrelevant personal preferences. I have the original 60D. It turned out to be practically a waste because I wasn't fully into knowledge about NP-F series batteries and the 60D needs a boat load of Wh which puts the batteries over the cost of the light itself. Forget a pair of anything upto and including 750 versions. That's the largest I have or indeed want to deal with ($ and weight) and they are used up after 15 minutes. Needing two jumbo NP-Fs hanging off to one side also defeats the weight savings implied in the original advertising. Recently I ended up with a 99 Wh V-mount 'brick' so I unboxed (uncased?) the 60D for another go. No can do - the 60D's stubby protrusion for the Bowens mount lug on the same side as the V mount blocks off the D-tap port on the battery. I am going to see about 3D printing a silhouette of the V-mount triangle and use that as a thickness spacer to bring the true triangle away from the 60D's body enough to clear that Bowens lug protrusion. Even if it works I'm told and have experienced on trials, the 60D throttles back its output plus duration suffers with both twin NP-F batteries and V-mount bricks. BTW I have an A7III (and AX-700) so the examples of exposure meta data are very helpful benchmarks for me. The brightness and color look great IMO.
Thank you so much. Kind words. That's really frustrating on the mount and I didn't even think about that being in the way. I need to try it with my new v mount batteries at some point.
When you showed the comparisons, why did it look like there was more light at 10% brightness than 80%? Did the 10% example have some post-color grading that the others did not?
You would have to offer up a size of NP battery you would consider feasible. The largest pair I had was -750s and those only lasted about 15 to 20 minutes at about 80 to 100% brightness (going by my memory of over a year ago). User opinions are that the 60D throttles itself down when it's on batteries. Users were puzzled why the batteries still had usable capacity for most applications but the 60D shut off.

Thanks for the great review Adam! Aputure is killing it with the new chipsets!

at 80% I lowered the aperture of my lens to lower the amount of light coming into the lens.
@@adamtalkstech ahhh ok makes sense. Thanks!
How long does the light last running on two Sony NP batteries?
Unsure.

Thank you for taking time to make this video 🙏🏽
Did Aputure fix the hot spot that 60D has, or it's still there?
I believe they did.
Great vid. Thanks
Thanks for watching! What should I review next?
