    I'd been aspiring to get an Amaran 200x and light dome, but worried about the lack of space in my little editing office and semi-TH-cam studio...a thin panel I could affix to the wall or ceiling seems ideal. For my 10x10 space (with a 3x6 desk and 4x6 driving simulator crammed inside) the 2 foot version would probably be adequate, so cool to see your vid pop up right after I first saw this flexible panel style of lighting

  • @JitDawgBruhDang
    @JitDawgBruhDang ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I need this but for Aputure. The f22C price is amazing but I’d splurge for a 4x2, 4x4, or 3x6 for a softer look. This format of light will be meta for shoots. All we need is the rgb from Aputure and they’ll have my money

    • @EmreYazgin
      @EmreYazgin 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      you can always put a diffusion scrim 4x4 or even bigger and put the f22c behind it with no soft box...im sure 200w would be enough

    • @EmreYazgin
      @EmreYazgin 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      or if you find yourself wanting biggest and softest for the 90% of the time maybe get a 300d for the same price as f22c and use that with an even bigger scrim...for me practicality is more important...and 2x2 is actually softer than you would think...

    @sopot9 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Mats are great but not for everyone. I have owned one and my biggest complaint was set up time and flimsiness of this solution. Surly it can go into tight spaces and create soft light, but you can have soft light by bouncing COB into a bounce board or even a wall.

    I’m intrigued by the possibility that this type of large light source could be hung in an artist studio as a substitute for a north facing window. I’m just wondering how it might renderflesh tones in comparison with natural daylight . Any thoughts …

    • @inkusaido
      @inkusaido 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would not recommended any LED when working with critical colors. Natural daylight is best and then incandescent lights are the second best at spectral reproduction. Godox doesn't release SSI scores which is suspicious. There's a technical review of these lights on the Gaffer & Gear channel which claims that SSI's are 84 at 3200K and 74 at 5600K. For reference, Amaran 200x S scores are 90 at 3200K and 89 at 5600K (so much better). Hope this helps.

      @@inkusaidoyou were so right - I just watched a youtube video where they had a face lit on one side by daylight and on the other side by the amaran and they are virtually indistinguishable and also they explained that thing about the excessive peaks being corrected. Thanks again for the tip, this may well be the best light for my needs.
