I like how when you said “smaller package”…. You could see your brain wanting to make that joke and you started to smile but good for you… you worked through it!
Surely, you didn't think I was gonna miss this?! Cool that it charges the batteries... while it's on? How can I get a free sample of one of those? I want a light for the front of my bike for when I ride at night. I've never heard of the 60c or 60x, but my mom was the famous actress with the 60DDs. I didn't starve, as a baby. In fact, I took a lot of milk baths. Have I gone too far, yet? Okay, I'll tone it down. Good to see you back in the groove of things. By the way, have you ever heard of a thing called a C-stand? So many different histories thrown around. Do you know the REAL origin of the name, and have poof to back it up? Okay, time for my bike ride... in the dark.
Super useful, as always. Thank you! Also, do you have any suggestions as to rigging these up with two points of contact? I don’t like trusting a single mounting point, especially one that doesn’t have any anti-twist pins or something. What I was thinking of doing was using Maffer clamps on the C stand posts and turning the light sideways so that it’s connected on the top and bottom (both sides actually). Actually, I got the three light kit and I was planning to stack two of them, and then hang some sort of diffusion in front of them with the arm at the top of the C stand. If there is some safer/faster/standard way to do this I would love to hear it.
I don’t unfortunately, but! You could use a 4xgel frame and diffusion. Like my skinning a frame episode. Then use solid flags to build the box with c-stands to block light leaks.
Awesome stuff! I love your videos...please keep making these! But I have a question that I need to know the answer to: can you explain why the connections in "prosumer" gear are always crappy set screw-style knobs that grind into the metal of the pin? I see other places where connections are made on round things (mic-stands, cymbal-stands, etc.) and they're super beefy, but easy to close and release. Why do grip connections gotta suck? Would you be in favor of clamp-style couplers instead of 1/4-20 knobs on bare-metal? It is the 21st century and all...
Well 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 are standards in film, unless you’re rigging that’s pretty much the standard. As far as prosumer knobs? I’m sure that’s more of a manufacturing patent kind of thing. And I’m not entirely sure I understand the clamp you are referring to when saying clamp style couplers? Got a link?
Hey Dave, any thoughts on mounting the lights facing straight down off the 1/4”-20 thread? Do you think it would be too heavy? (E.g. for a top light) If so, any ideas what might be a solution for such a setup? Does the colour picker camera feature on Sidus work with the RGB model? Also what’s the rationale behind the turning counterclockwise before tightening? Thank you 🙏
It would be fine on the 1/4-20, yes Sidus will do it’s best to match, and the rationale is to avoid cross-threading the female or male ends of the 1/4-20
@@GripTips Thanks for doing that Dave :-) Is this pretty standard that the desaturated kelvin isn’t selectable across most LED lights? Makes it a bit tricky to use in a 3200k lit scene :-/ Also, what option would you recommend to power the head via v-lock? A dummy battery for the shoe on the back? Thanks a lot
@@jononeill2008 honestly I don’t know if I would ever be that concerned about it if you are punching in a saturated color. I suppose the other option then would be to go into “gels”mode where you can select the source and gel. That’s probably the work around. As far as battery mounts. I’m sure there’s some sleds out there that can possibly do that. I don’t touch Batteries too often so I’m probably not the best to ask at this point in time.
Pahahaha shows how much I actually listen to the song, yea in retrospect I guess I should have researched it before making the joke. Now that just… ugh… doesn’t come out right. Nice catch
Annnnnd there’s the second comment I’ve gotten where I realize I messed up, hahhaa. I assure you it’s not like that. Really debating deleting that part now.

Very good rundown of the P60c. 2:10 I already grinned even before you could warn me haha
Thanks for the review! Hoping to see another video soon!
Picked up a couple P60Cs. I'm currently working on a yoke with a baby pin receiver to replace that stock photography mount.
Lips must be a rental. :) Lol. I just picked up the 60c. Can't wait to check it out! A 90w version would be excellent.
I’ve missed you.
Wow when I said upload a video I didn't expect it today 😂
Would love that Sekonic tutorial! I don't make use of mine enough
and yes P90X! 😂
Hi Dave… I’m thinking of picking up the P60c, do have a suggestion for a replacement yoke that is more study? Love you videos man. Mitch

Just finished watching all your videos from episode 1. Glad I did! Could you go over different ways to use c clamps? Hope this show continues :)
I bought two, 2 years ago for an ep. Still haven’t opened them. Both junior and baby

Did you end up trying this? Got a link so I can see it? How’d it go for you?
Do you have any recommendations for a larger soft box that might fit these?

turning the knob down INCREASES the frequency... ok

Keep it up, your channel is good. New sub hope to see more, very valuable.
where to get light stand
Nice. Keep it up. New subscriber.
Super

Great tips! I just want it in my room but it’s $$$ 😂
Totally worth the money, and if you’re looking for it to only light up your room, check out the B7c’s, about 70 a bulb
Hi, What kelvin does the P60c desaturate to in HSI mode? and is there an option to change this? from 5600k to 3200k etc? thanks
That was a great question, I had to pull out my light and my meter says it desaturates to 6100… interesting!
Also no, it doesn’t look like there’s a way to change it.

Difficulties talking after long days building scaff?
Hahaha exactly
@@GripTips You're definitely looking a little more red in the ears
@@DeanCovert spending almost 4 months outside will do that hahaha
No... YOU'RE making this dirty!
🧐🧐 is that song by nicki?? News to to me

Nicki Minaj didn't make WAP rofl it's Cardi B lol guess they look alike lol 😂
