It's been quite the journey, Tommy. 🤓 I first found your channel from that SL60 fan mod.
100%. It's been an amazing couple years, watching you and the others in our industry grow in our own ways. Can't wait to see what the next couple years brings.
I remember that I subscribed through DIY green screen
No one would except that Gerald will be the review god.. the most trusted source of anything.
Silent light, Godox light.
All unboxed, all is bright.
(I’m sorry I had to get that out- but these look incredible. They’re definitely upping the game).
Godox has really upped the game where affordable lighting is concerned. I recently acquired the VL-150 (which does come with a great case BTW). Its a fantastic light, really affordable, relatively quiet and delivers a extremely good quality output. I can't knock it, its perfect for my needs.
That’s all that matters. Don’t need to spend a fortune on a red camera to make things look great.. though red cameras make for some awesome clickbait. 🤔
Stumbled across your video... audio quality is great, video quality is great... subscribed... THEN I heard the review and thought you presented it all very well and I'm glad you touched on the softbox issue lowering the CRI as that is a point I feel MANY miss... Great review, you got a subscriber out of me... Keep up the good work
Nice!! And the music in your last couple videos! 🔥🔥. The music is matching you: high class.
Thanks Jake!! Picking the right beat is half the energy
Tommy, I love your casual, no-frills, honest reviews. btw Good catch with the light stand!
Haha thanks Phil. I just make the videos that I would enjoy watching. :)
@@TommyCallaway it shows. keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing your review of the Ledgo tube light.
17:03 Good poiny. Thank you for the great video.
Awesome job TC. The included bobbles add humor and value to watching. It's like real life vice heavy edits.
Is Godox SL200ii a good light for TH-camrs do you get a soft light that doesn't create wrinkles on the face etcetera?
That's a good point about diffusion and color quality!
Thanks Scott!
Both the FV150 and 200 I bought came with the faceted reflectors. They are very useful for pointing into from boards, or walls. Happy enough with the fans compared to the SL series. Agreed, any accessories mounted even reflectors will change color and CRI. Thanks for sharing!
How is the sound of your FV150. I am looking to use it or a SL150 ii for video production
@@himesjon The FV200 has 2 fans, the FV150 has one.Surprisingly the sound is different yet levels SPL are around the same. They are not loud at all, I find them more than acceptable. The other day when my studio was rented they brought an Aputure 300X which was louder than my Godox lights. Can they be used if close to a mic? Probably not, depending on the type of mic. Yet when bounced or through a big soft box yes as they are further away.
@@NeilSnapePhotography I was about to order 2 FV150 for 220ea but was concerned about the volume so ordered a package of 2 SL150ii with stands and soft boxes and carrying case for 550. I really wanted to have the versatility of minor strobe work without bringing in or changing lights out between youtube videos and basic still shots. What are your thoughts?.
@@NeilSnapePhotography the SL150ii has the silent running mode now.
@@himesjon Unless you need the FV flash function the SL models are really nice. I think they are cheaper and as you noted they can run without a fan a very reduced power ratings. Although for that I have 3 modded SL60w which are silent at full power.
Tommy thank you for useful information.
Great comparison/review! New to learning about lights...thanks! Appreciate the UL150's battery, and having the option to use at locations without access to ac power.
They do look great! Awesome video man, I was glued till the end of it. The time, for me to get good lights is around the corner. I have 2 ESDDI light I got from Amazon... yup, don’t laugh at me! 😁, so lately filming in 4K etc, I see the necessity to change my K number. Keep safe and keep rocking 👊
Thanks man, always appreciate your kind words!! Lemme know if you need advice on lights. :)
@@TommyCallaway I will for sure! Thanks
Saw this 2 weeks too late. I went with the UL 150. The SL looks like the better buy, especially being self contained.
Yeah.. it's certainly my preference. I would also look at my more recent video of godox's new ML60 if you don't need the 150 power. It's fantastic.
@@TommyCallaway yeah I watched it before I saw this one. It's a pricey lil machine. If I was stuck between it and the vl I would work with the vl
Great reviews. Will have to go for the UL150 for shooting in the field with v-mount.
So true about the boxes! Luckily I never need the cases since they either stay set up or are packed in my Think Tank 50 case :P Keep it up!
Thank you, and solid point. I like cases because I'm a bit of a hoarder and stacking all the lights I review without cases is insanely difficult lol. I should get one or two of those Think Tank 50s!
@@TommyCallaway I definitely recommend the Think Tank case, been super helpful! I've got a video on it if you need to know what it is for reference :D
Great comparison as always. I am planning to get one too so really helped. Thank you for doing the test.
Awesome video.....been wanting to get my hands on these lights. I got some softboxes but I got to get me a COB light. Nice job as always, look forward to more videos with these.
Godox has really upped their game!
Got a couple more Godox on the way soon. Gonna poke around the VL300 and ML60
I love my Godox vl150. 0 complaints and dead quiet.
Is Godox SL200ii a good light for TH-camrs do you get a soft light that doesn't create wrinkles on the face etcetera?
Tommy: With this Godox snoot like Gobo adapter I can turn this light into a futuristic Gatling gun!
Invader Zim: Why would you do all that?
Tommy: 19:36 Because it's cool.
Exactly
Another very informative video as always. I really enjoy your content and style
Thanks mike! I really appreciate that

Amazing what you can get now for very little money.
Agreed. Take out the bells and whistles and you’ve got some serious value for the money.
Why didn't you also compare the VL series, I think it's a better value, it comes with a bag and also able to receive V-mount battery like the UL the power adapter is seperated from the body, the fan is quite silent in my opinion, comes with a remote too and cheaper than UL too
It's so weird that they do not include any form of carrying case. I picked up the VL150 and that came with one.
Chris Wilmshurst I already have a carefully-thought-out system for carrying my lighting gear, so when I buy a new Godox light that comes with a case, I wind up throwing the case onto the Chaos Shelf in my garage. Ditching the case and saving a few bucks gets my vote.
Same, I aslo picked up VL150, able to receive V-mount battery too
Hey. How do you like it so far? I am about to buy two of them for my Laowa Probe lens. Are the VL150 bright enough to light atf14 and above?
My probe lens gets here this month. I intend on figuring out how much light it needs. I hear it’s a thirsty one.
@@noisetrade6130 I'm not sure that it will be enough for f14 and ISO 100, unless you want to crank that ISO up. Not to mention if you want slow motion with that lens
Great 2 c u getting back to your humble beginnings, instead of getting lit. More of this, please...
This video took me two weeks to produce.
A casual conversation with like minded friends on Wednesday nights for an hour is something I do for my own sanity right now, working 12 hour days M-F in software architecture is super draining. The live streams are also an opportunity to "ping" my subscribers from my earlier, non-filmmaking related videos to finally unsubscribe.. I want a filmmaker audience who cares about this stuff, and my subscriber to watch ratio is pretty poor. I have considered creating a live stream channel specifically for my stream related content to simply not bother the 40% of people that are annoyed be live streams, but I think that's just too divisive and there's too much good industry related information coming out of the streams that I don't want to be stingy with for the curious. Content strategy is always evolving, and learning live streaming while doing live streams seems to be extremely relevant as we close 2020. I'm sorry the streams are bothering you, seriously. There's a ton of sick videos in the queue, just making the time to make them great is challenging. :)
Interesting...I had a VL150 ($399) which had a case and remote.
But swapped it for a FalconEyes 18TD because of space.
Like your comparison mate
Oh! KILLER thumbnail!
I think we need an episode on solar generators
Lmao you mean Sunlight?? I gotta see if I can get a solar panel manufacture to sponsor that one... haha ;)
@@TommyCallaway I mean portable batteries with power outlets and inverters. They're usually called solar generators because most of them support solar panel input.
They're a great alternative to gas generators on set and I'd prefer tanking one of those to set rather than a bunch of ballasts with v-lock batteries. I think Bluetti, Jackery and Yeti are the main players in the market.
I've been researching them because I'm a fan of lights without a ballast like the SL series.
Seconded.
Since I'm commenting up via caffeine :), can you do a Part II which shows the real world numbers between the 300X and Godox SL200mk2 with the Sekonic with diffusions on.
I think that would be very unique --I think I've watched every good light vid on YT and have not seen such a test.
Hey Bob - I can tell you, that if you go to "Maximum" output mode on the 300x, you will exceed the brightness of the SL200 mk 2, my reference in this video was specifically to the "constant output" mode, which makes sure the 300x stays the same brightness as you cycle through the CCT range. In complete transparency, i STRONGLY prefer the 300x over the SL200mk2 due to far superior build quality, v-mount ability, sidus link integration, and how it works with their remote (which is a much better design). The color quality is a touch better too, and the 300x has "auto" fan mode which will keep it completely silent under temperatures that I operate in my studio. The SL200 mk 2 offers insane value for the price though, if you're looking for a light that doesn't have all aputure's bells and whistles. I don't think a full video on a direct comparison of the two will really hit in terms of viewership, I have about 9 other videos in the backlog including my full tripod + fluid head showdown (which is scheduled before end of november.. going to be a ton of work to get that one done correctly). Always happy to answer direct questions for you.
@@TommyCallaway No problem at all and thank you for the reply.
bob smith shoot me an email. Might have something for you.
nice video tommy, like always.. keep it up...
thanks for the video Tommy
You’re welcome!
wow, great comparison as usual, Id like to get ur opinion on how the Sl200ii compare to the Vl150 if u have ever taste it, thanks man, keep it up
Great video as always Tommy! 👊🏻😎 I can use a light starting to build a studio kit. 👍🏻
also what modifier would you recommend for the Godox SL200II?
Great video! Also, I need an SL60W lol!
Great and detailed review Tommy! I watched this clip over and over and made me confident in finally investing in the Godox SL II series. What I realize, it would be helpful also with a comparison between the same brand and models. Color rendition between two or three of them. What I experienced: One SL200 II unit had a magenta tint, and the other one with a green tint (brand new same serial number batch). In fact, one of the SL 200 II unit 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 approach color variation of the same units / models?
Liked the video.
Few questions. See maybe if you can help.
I am a dog photographer and also create studio videos here and there.
I have put my eye on sl300III. This was purely for video light use. Now I am starting to doubt my choice. Recently got a dog in the studio who was super scared of godox 600 light pops. Very quiet but the dog did not like it. I was wondering if any of godox lights have silent flash photography options. I think I have heard about it but wasn't sure. I don't want to resort to continuous light set up, but ideally, it still would be flash photography.
Is there a way I could have in one light both silent flash photography and use for video lights too? Need to be pretty powerful as it will be my main continuous light set up for both photography and video.
Thank you,
Regards,
Armands
really great stuff wow
Great review! Thanks!
and aputure comes with amaran 200X... i wonder if we can use Good SA-17 on it !?
The special on b&h for the 2x SL 200w II is so low that I'm afraid the quality is somehow lower.... 🤔 I'm set on the SL 200 II but just not sure if I should buy it alone or buy the kit. Anyone else bought the kit?
Very good knowledge.
What a lit collection! 🔥💯👌
Haha thanks man :)
Very curious to see if it’s worth the upgrade over the vl150, can’t wait 😃
The SL200ii is game changer level lighting
Tommy Callaway 😻 glad I waited for this!
If you threw a diffusion sock over that hyper reflector would that help with the hot spot and light disppersion?
Great video! Is the 200sl mk2 remote just plug and play or is there any way to pair it with the light? Mine just isnt working in any way with the sl150 mk2! Thanks for the feedback.
That 2-light kit pricing is so low it seems like a mistake!!!
Why the moment unboxing from box, look like weird? 😢
What is the difference between UL150 and VL150?
Auto thumbs up at 0:06 - like a NFL match...cue old school wide wide World of Sports ABC theme.
Sports for nerds with cameras on my channel. :)
@@TommyCallaway man, you are up early. :)
No more flickering issues?
What's the output difference between the sl200ii and an aputute 300d mkii?
Solid question.. I don’t have one in the studio to do a side by side, unfortunately - but 300d ii with no reflector is about 11k lux at 1m
Is it only me who is distracted by background music? :) It's pretty loud and also is not inline with subject .... feels like some sad music played in the movie
No music, please.
I like music
