Why'd it say lux at the bottom at 6:50?
Because my brain apparently turned off and I wrote lux instead of Kelvin. It should be Kelvin.
@@geraldundone I just won TH-cam
When seeing this video I was afraid I made my purchase of the VL150 too early... That godox now came out with either a better, or cheaper alternative.
I'm happy to see that that's not the case for my particular setup.
However I might consider an sl150 mk ii as my next light.
@@ZJHFilms no my friend you won the internet.
@@geraldundone to conclude on a budget the sl 150 II and fv 150 are close budget here in India, and normally I shoot 80% video and 20% product photography so what should i opt for considering budget is a constraint, as I have no plans for buying a flash light additionally as of few months or half a year so what should I choose
I am Gerald undone and I operate in silence because I am passively cooled.
Perspiration is an active mechanism that your body uses to defend itself from overheating. If the ambient temperature is lower than temperature inside of your lungs, then the body is cooling itself by moving air in and out. No electric fans are required.
@@michaels3003 Maybe the Canon R5 can perspire in order to stay cool.
@@JamesMatthewGallagher diy guy watercooled it lol.
Imagine how crazy he'll operate if water cooled?
You are the only reviewer i trust when it comes to cameras and related gear, your attention to detail is outstanding, keep up the great work.
Trudat yo!
A video about different light domes would be amazing. Cheers
Yes plz some aputure light dom knock offs.
Yes, but fresnel lens accessories (bowen’s mount).
godox SB US light domes are really good and they've around long before aputure
Yeah, I was looking for this as well.. Thanks for the review, Gerald! Another honest review!
I picked up the VL300 based on your last review, and I'm very glad I did. The UL looks like exactly what I need as the next piece of my lighting puzzle. Thank you for yet another superb review.
Did you have any trouble turning yours on? I just set mine up and the light doesn't turn on.
Happy to see your video on this! I'm a Godox light user as well and am so happy they keep pumping out better lights. :D
Excellent as usual Gerald 👍. Your reviews are unbeatable.
Thanks for this video. I've been looking to add lights to my kit and this is just what the doctor ordered.
These Godox videos have been so helpful! I’m about to pick up a VL150 right now - thank you for helping!
greatest gear reviewer on the Tubes. Cheers!
Your reviews are very informative, thorough and very useful, Thank you !!
Great video Gerald! Been looking at your COB videos for sometime and looks like the UL-150 is the light that finally checks the boxes I’ve been looking for. Thank you and please keep the great content coming!
Typically outstanding video from Gerald. 💛🙏🏼
I’ve only just watched the older April video. This is really helpful. As i don’t know much about lights, it’s a minefield of numbers trying to figure out what’s worth it. This, and the previous video, has made choosing much more straight forward
Unbiased, scientific and precise as always. Thanks Gerald. Picked up a couple of UL150s thanks to your review!
super helpful review - thank you!
EXCELLENT review and comparison, Gerald. I think I have my COB light of choice to pick up, finally.
Awesome video as usual. Thanks Gerald
Another great, video with a lot of useful information for people trying to decide between the various Godox models or between the Aputure and the Godox lights. Thanks, Gerald😊
What an excellent, concise and comprehensive review!
bought 2 vl-300 because of your review. I love them so far, super quiet! Thanks for being the man to count on and not a QVC salesman!!!
Great timing Gerald, was just about forking the money for Aputure 120D... UL-150 here I come!
Your new style of thumpnail is really on point. Love it in a marketer eye
Brilliant video, thank you! You answered all my questions!
Thank you for this lighting review. It dialed me into purchasing the UL 150IiBi
This is why I subscribed to Gerald Undone. Great video.
Excellent comparison as always. I was looking at the VL150 based on your previous video but the UL150 is definitely the best choice for me now as I prefer no noise. Great video! Thank you for the comparison as it really helps.
I bought 2 VL150s based on your review in April and honestly cannot be happier! Thank you for paying attention to these affordable lights to help those of us who can't afford Aputure's gear.
Bill Rusu what are you using them for mainly ?
I literally just ordered the VL150 a few days ago and saw this video and was like, 'aw shucks, I should've waited!'. But now, after watching your video, I'm still going to stick with the VL150 because the fan noise won't be too much of an issue for me, plus it's smaller and comes with a case, which is a huge plus! Love your videos, Gerald. You've taught me so much.
I have a VL150 sitting in my shipping cart on Amazon. I'll be changing that now! Many thanks!
Fantastic works as always Gerald. I've been recommending your channel to the course participants on Ali Abdaal's Part-time TH-cam Academy course. We have Bhav as one of the peer supporters and it was super nice to see you on her podcast!
don't use lights, but get a huge kick out of watching you perform, so cool Gerald.
yes, the video is entertaining and educational, thanks for sharing!
Super cool bro! Thanks!
As usual love watching these reviews even though i will never ever buy any of these stuff to use like they want/need to lol. Well done.
Nice review! It’s getting hard to keep up with the release schedule of the lights. It’s nice to have so many options as long as we do some research to see which light has the features we need for our work
I just got two of these today and I can say already I think they are fantastic. I used these to replace two Fiilex P360s what’s great about them, apart from no noise, is that I can run them well below full-power and they are barely warm so no noise and very little heat.
Great job. Thank you sir.
Man you read my mind for you to review theses. Still gonna get the VL150 as it comes with a carrier bag vs the UL150
Amazing review
I'm Gerald Undone and I... will always love you
And he'll sing it... ”Bodyguard” anyone :-)?
@@HomesickMac No. Lovesong. The Cure.
So glad I found this. Recently upgraded the fan on the sl60w I purchased and the temperature is rising to 125 ish vs the 109. I'm going to have to replace it again with a better version, but the next upgrade definitely looks like the ul150.
playback speed 50% recommended! :D Awesome video! oh maaaaan i would loooove to have that ul150 now
great video ,thanks
A few questions
1. At the end of the day with money not being an issue would you choose Aputure over Godox
2. Does the 300D also give off that warmer green tint and the VL200/300 give off that cooler magenta tint?
Thanks for your time and love your content!
that quick intro tho... NICE 👍
This information-density is outstanding. As a newb sometimes a bit overwhelming but also sparks that nerdy passion for technical details. Love it!
Probably gonna go for the UL150, because the fact that it produces the best accuracy at no noise is just outstanding. Are there even any downsides to it compared to anything else in this pricerange??
hey Gerald, big fan of yours
Thanks so much!
Got a UL, thanks !
Would love to see you review the Yongnuo YNLUX100 Pro Bi-Color LED Monolight. Thanks for all the great videos.
I've been looking at these lights recently, thank you for making a review and comparison. Too bad the 2 new lights are not available here yet and VL150 currently out of stock. I think I'm gonna pick up VL150 once it's available, we can consider the $60 price difference is for the bag and battery option also compact design, so it will be lighter on top of a light stand.
Great review as always!
Will you do an "endurance" test with these lights, to see how the UL stacks up, if temperatures build up - get too high, and if this may make it prone to last less than the fan powered counterparts?
fwiw, ran my new ul 150 for 1 hr at 100% , with the light at about a 70degree angle, and no overheat warning came on.
saw a bhphoto review sayin the overheat warning only came on when pointed directly up at the ceiling. totally vertical. and even in that review, the guy said he was buying another ul 150 bcoz silent operation and output for the price.
This video is very insightful - having fans making noises during recording is a total minus. And that is a cool background color!
I was sold until you said no carrying case :/ Excellent review, Gerald! Thanks.
I’m super impressed how far Godox has went to establish them self on the stage of Video Lights..
I just wished Godox would release their padded case for single purchase..
Anyone with a SL 150W II with some what louder fans?
Hey Gerald, thanks for all the thorough tests you make !
Did you get a chance at testing the new UL150II and/or UL150IIBi ?
Cheers !
Getting the UL150 soon I hope:)) I don’t care how bulky it is:p Awesome review as always
I wish there was a good comparison online between the Godox lights and the Intellytech Pocket Cannon Fresnels. I know they are different types of lights, but the Intellytech lights look super solid and are based in Denver.
As always, fantastic and very informative and funny reviews. Big fan! What I realize, after purchasing two SL200II units and did my own testing, is what I am missing in these great reviews, is also a comparison between the same brand and models. The two SL 200 II units I just purshased does not match well. One magenta tint and one unit, and the other one with a green tint (brand new same serial number batch). In fact, one of the SL 200 II units match better with both my Aputure and LitePanels than it's own other SL 200 II unit, but not ideal. If I'd be happy with these, I'd get more to have a more unified temp/tint/color rendition, but these does vary too much. How would you approac this problem? Gels or simply return them until you have units that match?
Love the show man.
Q: What light are you using for the wall spot behind you? (Perfect spread)
BTW: I often have your intro jingle stuck in my head during shoots. Pretty funny/annoying/ahhhhhhh/stop moments
Waiting for Godox
I bought the UL150 and its an amazing light for the price.
Why the hell are you so good at this? Please tell me how you became so thorough with videos.
Talent plus practice.
In depth perfection
Great content as always, which CStand do you use for the lights and softbox dome? I didn't see it on your gear page.
Excellence again from the G Unit 😎
Just bought the vl150 for my small studio, and I've noticed the remote only works when I'm like a foot away from the light. Any further and the data on the remote display changes, but nothing changes with the light or on it's display, other than that, the vl150 has been perfect, and barely heats up running even at 100%. Also mine got sent with the stickers literally slapped on crooked, but that's just a visual thing :P
I bought two SL200 II's on sale for $ 350 each and I'm very happy with these devices
i dont need expensive pack of V-Mount battery's and external power supply`s
Built in power supply is great option for me
But sad - no carry bag :(
great!
Absolutely love your videos! Quick question for you. Is there a good reason to get an Aputure 120 Mark II instead of the Godox UL150 except that is has a carry bag and slightly less clutter?
You should check out the new GVM RGB 150S mk II! I think they fixed some of your initial qualms with the original in terms of light quality and features.
Thank ypu
why cant i find a review on the DP600III ? Great stuff Gerald!
Thanks for the great content. I am wondering if Godox will be making the reflectors available for purchase seperately?
They are! I saw them on B&H: bhpho.to/38TlLun
Pretty affordable.
I have the UL150 sitting in my amazon cart, I will give this a watch in the morning before i hit buy! Or will you change my mind??
Godox is really taking on the challenges of providing professionals the tools they need. One question -- how would lights of this wattage mix with direct sun to either lighten shadows or provide a keylight when the sun is backlighting the subject? Is 150W enough, or would you need a 300W light for this?
Promo today at B&H and Adorama UL 150 = $284 ... Yes! I bought it! Amazing price!
Hey Gerald!
When's the UL150ii review going to come out?
I’m Gerald Undone and this is how the cookie crumbles.
It’s always been Go Dox bro still good video
Awesome content good sir!!!
If you will take the time to recommend a light I will use your your affiliate links to buy them😀. If you were starting out for documentary interviews and some products ( coffeeshop videos). Trying to decide if 150 or 300 or both is necessary. Which Godox light or lights would you purchase right to now to start?
Would love a few clips or stills for download of the color checker, especially if in CDNG or similar.
Thank you Gerald. Does Godox have a good bi-color option?
I was looking for a powerful light without a fan and found the Godox UL150. I am shooting video in a small confined space. My good mics will certainly pick up fan noise. I like the buiuld quality and the high output. Further issues I would love to see covered include 1. Different approaches to warming up the 5600 color temperature. And 2. help me with the Godox Photo and Godox Light apps! I could not get them to work on my iphone 12 mini.
I wish you safety from corona and a good summer!❤
No need to like or sub🤷♀️
Have a great day!😁
Interesanti interesanti
Why didn’t you mention the phone app? Is the ul150 compatible with the godox app (or however it’s called)? For me that’s a must. Anyone know anything about the app compatibility?
Great review as always btw!
My favorite feature of the original Godox SL lights is that they don't have any annoying power bricks or control boxes. Just plug them in and turn them on.
"dont brig the wrong one on the shoot" LOL!
Gerald is the best, forget the rest 🤓
I like him, but "forgetting" other good reviewers is very narrow minded.
Hey Gerald i have a request for the next time u review a COB light. how well can the light can be cut with barndoors? Does it create multishadow with no modifier? i other word how dense is COB. Either way thanks for the review.
Good suggestion. Thanks!
Would you still recommend the sl60 or would u skip it and jump to one of these ones? Upgrading from a ring light with my tiktoks and TH-cam videos
For a while I think your favorites were Clar LEFs by Adorama. Are they still competitive?
actually really would love to get the VL150, but it's kind of expensive in my opinion. On the other hand, the SL60W was more in my price range but really worse on specs so i'd still consider spending a little more to be done for a longer time with the VL150.
Hey Gerald,
I'm new to video and was looking to buy my first lighting setup to help improve my videos.
I'll be mostly filming product b-roll and wondered if I should buy a set of two larger led panels in a kit, or one larger panel and a smaller rgb panel.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks in advance 😁
OMG !!!! its may 31, 2021 ~~~ I I just got why they "God" "Ox" and I speak Chinese ~~~ I never though bout it until now hahahaha Thanks Gerald XD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are more of studio lights, right? Which type is nice for outside interviews? For my video, one ligjt is enought and I take the sun as the key light
Will you be reviewing the viltrox ninja 400?
Can we have a review on the Nanlite Pavotubes 15C/30C please? :)
