Hey hey again Hoodaffairstv! The Godox technically represents the true color of the wall however it is not that saturated in real life as you see in the video, its much more subtle. My guess is this is most likely attributed to the larger red color spike in daylight mode. The Aputure LED's backs off on the red spike seemingly killing off the color of the wall, however my skin tones is more correct in terms of saturation to what you see in real life.
Hey hey again Phil! Correct that the Aputure is softer out of the box and needs less diffusion... but man I am a sucker for softer light so TO THE DOUBLE DIFFUSION WE GO! Haha! Jokes aside, the Aputure definitely has more utility with its softness out of the box, less work if you wanna just setup and shoot something quick for an interview and move on.
Hey hey again IMDABROWN! Haha I sincerely appreciate it! And yes, definitely use the 25% instead if that comes first haha! Lensrentals is definitely awesome, I used them for my first year when I really went into the field and I never had a problem. Solid rental company and glad we were able to work on this video together!
Hey hey theothertoday! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! You're most welcome! If you are talking about the Neewer 960 RGB panel, I had an early review unit and it does not come anywhere close to these panels in terms of output power. You can see all the numbers at tldrfilmmaker.com The Neewer 960 divided the LED's into three groups so you got the overall power cut into 3 LED groups. The neewer 1904 that bi-color only may produce some good numbers because they are lensed like the Godox. However my best guess is that it will come to about half the power of the Godox as the power requirement is only 75watts (possibly per channel) where as the Godox is nearing 150w. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker Thank you. That's brilliant. I'm guessing at times lesser know manufacturers use the same components as the more well regarded brands. Anyways, love your work!
Hey man, your delivery is great on these videos. Do you use a teleprompter when recording? Also do you think you’d still recommend the Aperture LED in this video when the now p60c exists at around $350?
Hey hey! No I did not use a teleprompter in this video. I only used one in some of my 2nd year videos, but even then it was just bullet points instead of a full script. To answer your question, it depends on the setup and how much power you need to accomplish that setup with the desired camera settings (ISO and Aperture). If you need low ISO deep DOF, then you may need the power of a P300c. If you are low ISO with shallow DOF, then a P60c could definitely do it. All of this is assuming you are in a controlled lighting environment and you're not filming more than just a full body shot where the light is maybe 6' away. Hopefully some of these thoughts help guild you to which light is going to be enough for your needs.

Another good review. When would you use a panel rather than a more traditional bowens mount COB LED? Space constraints? But if attaching a large soft box, both fixtures would be dwarfed by the size of the softbox. The colors of the P300C will allow better correction, true. But third party modifiers are far less available and carry a high price premium. Guess I'm not sold on panels.
Hey hey again Michael! For me, always looking at budget and how I film, the Aputure Nova is a bit overkill and like you said a lot of stuff I could just keep use COB LED's to get the same looks. The Nova was definitely built for studios and grip trucks in the industry who are looking to not pay Arri prices for the skypanel. One things I have seen a lot with press television interviews that are quick setups is that they will have a arch setup of skypanels with some flags for the interviewer and interviewee. Definitely a reporter 60minutes type setup, for them the panels seem to make the most sense for space and look. Otherwise I'd have to agree with you that I'm not entirely sold on Panels for my needs, a COB Reflector combo, and any other bowens modifiers, would be more useful for my needs.
@@TLDR_filmmaker That makes sense. If portability and size is the need, the cost could be worth it. Especially if the softness of the lights without a softbox is good enough. Recently picked up their 300x COB, which I hope will serve me well for a few years.
At 8% the green led bulbs kick in to make up for the output, so the higher you go, the greener it might be getting, which is why the magenta correction is heavier on higher output. It completely changes tint going 7 to 8%.
Hey hey Maroš Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! That it does, gotta make sure you always double check and click that button to see where the light thinks it needs to be at.

Hey hey again ALi! For me, personally, I would still go with the Aputure so that the fall off from the bounce is going to be even more smooth. But thats for the type of light I like for the scenes I shoot. But this also depends on just how far away the reflecting wall or ceiling is. If you are inside a standard 8-10 feet ceiling or the wall is close to your subjects. You'll want the aputure for the softest look. If the wall or ceiling is further away, then the Godox maybe have the advantage to get the light to reach the subject after the bounce, by then the light will have scattered a decent amount so it should still render a pretty soft light. Those are just my thoughts on how I would approach the differences between the two. Times like this I wish I had a large studio space so I can perform more of these types of test. Hope this helps!
Thank you for a very interesting comparison. I would like to dwell a little more on the quality of color reproduction with regard to skin tones at 3200k and 5600k
Hey hey Oles! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! I wish I had something more scientific in regards to a spectrometer. All I can say is based on my color checker test and knowing how Panasonic likes to determine the skin tone chips on tungsten and daylight. It would seem that the skin tones are about where they should be for pro-sumer digital cameras. Though I would say in this case the Nova P300 does better "tuned" when moving through the kelvins. Mainly because in my Godox firmware it did that weird thing where it would adjust the G/M Shift depending on what brightness its set at. Thanks again for stopping by!

How can you compare the Aputure Nova with a low budget panel like the Godox LD150R? It seems very stupid ! It's like comparing a Ferrari to a utility car!
You're not wrong if I was comparing speed and acceleration between a Ferrari and a utility car, but I am comparing if those cars can get from point A to B. I am looking to see what LED diodes were used between the two lights. If they were nearly the same LED diodes, then people can determine if the extra software features and exterior designs materials (Speed and Acceleration) are worth it to them.
Hey hey Gavin! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Yes, the Aputure has a "power station" that can be connected to the Nova to power it with V-Mount batteries. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Hey hey Milan! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Definitely more for creators that are constantly on the job. For the budget you have there are some great COB LED's options that you can work with to get similar looks as these with some modifications, you just might not have the RGB options if thats something you need or power if you are fighting against brighter sources. But for the most part a 60w to 120w (150w) class COB LED's suffice for a lot of work in decently controlled lighting environments. Outside, I like to use reflectors and call it a day.
