- I've always been skeptical of 'cheap' equipment. But does affordable always mean compromising quality? @GVMLEDLIGHTS sent me the SD200B to review, a light promising pro features without the price tag. After testing it in various lighting setups, let's see whether or not it lives up to the hype.

The energy you put in every video, it's just amazing. I'm amazed every time
This is the most stylish unboxing I've ever seen! Amazing work keep it up 👏
Thank you! 🙏
Damn bro, killed it with this B-Roll. That's some WORK for a single video, especially for TH-cam. Thanks for the effort!!
the sound design is just top notch
This is no joke the best product review I’ve ever seen in my life
I can buy nearly 4 of these, or 3 of the GVM Pro SD300b units for the price of 1, just _one_ , Aputure 300x unit. It's a no brainer. Build quality is there, they're a tad more powerful than offerings from Aputure and Nanlite, too, if memory serves. I've picked up two of the SD200b units for my work as a documentary filmmaker. They're plenty powerful enough as a key and second light, portable, seriously rugged, being made from aluminium and just all round good bits of kit.
dude your reviews are insanely good produced.
Damn at this point its a commercial, not a product review... GVM pay this guy
Fantastic edits, so clean and inspiring. You using your obvious film/story telling jutsu and mixing it in a review on the unsuspecting will overwhelm the novice lol. I know a Uchiha when I “SEE” one. ABSOLUTELY awesome….
honestly i have no words for how good this video is
2024 The best gear reviewer awards goes to Herman Huang!
Appreciate it, Finix 🙇
I just wish all gear reviews are like this! It’s absolutely amazing to see what you can do with each gear❤
Appreciate it, Tom! 🙇
What the hell, this is like the best quality gear review iv seen. DO MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!
More definitely on the way 😌
Such cinematic quality for a review! Congrats on continually pushing your content to the frickin stratosphere!
Appreciate it Tommy! 🙇🙇🙇
WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!! This is the best review video I have ever seen- the editing, the sound design, the music, the LIGHTING, everything is top-notch. Thank you for sharing this wonderful review with us
I can watch this all day long it's freaking pleasing to watch❤
I subscribed purely from this one video. I'm in the market for a 200w light and came across this video. I cannot believe the amount of detail you put into this video!? Sound, camera work, editing, knowledge of product, etc. Awesome work and you might've just sold me on this light!
if all unboxings and reviews were like this we'd really be living in the future
the lil tappies during the unboxing
@umbrallis I learned from the best 😌
incredible! this is the only review that i wish to watch more than 3 times.
bro my mouth just like :O when im seeing your video. terrific quality! keep up the good work bro!!
Man, the cinematography here is amazing! I am not even here for the review, I am just here to learn your lighting and camera transition. Great job!
You channel and reviews are amazing!!!
That light looks so nice
I agree 🔥
i like the 4:3 you do in these
herman you always know what’s up 💡
Great job my guy. 🔥
Thanks Dave! 🙇
I feel like I've just watched a short film LOL great job!
Hiya Herman! This comment is kinda unrelated but I really love your videos, and the way you shoot all the different scenes in your work :)) Could you maybe give some recommendations for books around videography? Maybe make a video about it? 😉
Hey, appreciate the kind words and support! I don't have book recommendations specifically for videography, but have read books that have helped me in my creative journey overall. Will definitely consider making videos that share what I've learned and applied to my life. 🙌
Ty for music 1:13 haha!
Bro if there’s anything you’ve taught me about lights it’s that it’s not about the light, it’s how you use it. You could use a finger light and make it look cinematic 😅
If I get sponsored by a finger light company, I'd LOVE to try and make it look cinematic 😂
Ciinematic Review😍
Wow your editing is top notch sir, may i say. (and meanwile scrolling down i see everyone agrees :) lol) @ 1:25 i recognize that, nope not gonna read the manual.
Living in China for the last ten years I've seen tons of cheap filming gear. And yeah theres a lot of really poor quality stuff, but theres also a ton of great stuff if you look hard enough. These lights look ace, Great video maker is an interesting choice of company name though lol
Something about how blunt their name is made me even more skeptical at first, but I haven't been disappointed yet 😆
lol yeah totally get that, I actually just checked on Taobao (the shopping app thats biggest here in China) and the prices are pretty awesome! a 500 watt version for less than i paid for my Aputure 300D ii yes please! 🙂@@HermanHuang
Stunning video! what font did you use for the title cards?
Thank you! I used Eurostile Extended
Hey! Thanks so much for getting back! Is the other font also part of the Eurostile family?
The other font used is called Adina@@AfroSamyt
Thank you so so much! 😅
I knew this video was gonna be produced really to the max so the light had to be decent lol
I promise to not produce videos about bad gear unless I make it very obvious 😂
What’s the name of the snoot 4:40
what is the snoot that u are using?
I'm using a snoot from a brand called Wellmaking
@@HermanHuang witch one? do you recommend it? man, i just discover your yt channel and i loved it
@ Appreciate it! I recommend it if you're on a budget. It hasn't failed on me yet, but requires buying a seperate lens in order to use it.
Do you watch product reviews ❌I watch herman's videos ✅
Ohh my gosh ,look honestly I don't watch review videos ever ever ever,cause currently i don't have any fancy lights and gear and all of that ,but when I saw its Herman video my gosh what a sick experience,my lord .ohkay hey Herman tell me what what sfx you used or I'll unsubscribe right now😅
Appreciate the support! All my SFX are from Artlist 🙌
no i know that i have artlist,just tell me the category in which i should find it?
@@HermanHuang
I'm usually just searching things like "whooshes" or "impacts" unless I'm searching for something specific like keyboard typing SFX @@someoneedits
Man, I really need a good light source. This is definitely on my list.
On an unrelated note, 3:35 What?! When people are watching TV on shows, they just use a light to simulate a TV? Illusion broken 🥲! I legitimately thought they just threw on some random vid on silence or the actual content they’re watching!
Definitely recommend this light if you need a fairly strong source with low power draw. Wouldn't recommend it for smaller spaces as there are more compact lights suitable for that. So depends on what you plan to use it for!
Yep, lots of "cheating" in filmmaking! That's why they call it "movie magic" 😂
