What’s wrong? 🤔

@@AnotherCameraChannel you cant make decent cuts. Fresnels by design allow a tungsten unit to be cut and controlled.

The new Pyro series is actually the same, 4K over HDMI with SDI still limited to 1080.

@AnotherCameraChannel Hmm, would the Cosmo C1 be a better option then? Since I believe it has a supplier option

​​ @michaelfrymus Just checked another review for you. C1 is still HD only, the TX has HDMI in, SDI in, and an SDI loop Out. But only the SDI signal comes out of the SDI loop out, not HDMI. From what I gather it's only a 1TX, 1 RX system and I don't see anyone mentioning it working with the Hollyview app which the Mars and Pyro systems benefit from. Unfortunately, if you're looking for 4K over SDI I don't believe Hollyland make this yet.

@@AnotherCameraChannel yeah, just saw another video talking about that. Looks like I'll have to stick with HDMI. Then again, most often I'd be using a tablet to view. The issue in having now is speed. My current camera is HDMI out. My monitor has HDMI in/out, and SDI in/out. So, if I want the fastest transmission and best quality, seems as though I'll need to plug HDMI from camera to transmitter, and then out to the monitor? - If that's the case, then I might swap to the Pyro H. If I plug camera to monitor via HDMI and out to transmitter via HDMI or SDI and the speed doesn't change much, I might as well just keep what I ordered.

@@michaelfrymus Yeah Pyro H seems like the best option then, and it's also the cheapest of the Pyro Line, but is the only device with USB-C power options which is a nice bonus. I have a review of all the Pyros including the Pyro 7 on this channel also if you wanted to see that.

Hahah yes yes this is my niche :) Thanks for stopping by!

80C Bare Cob: 5,600K 1m 6,502 lux /604 fc 120d II Bare Cob: 5,500K 4700 lux @1m I’m guessing though the 120d’s beam angle could be wider and less concentrated? 80C is a better choice though, CRMX, 1800K-20000K, GM shift etc. 120ds aren’t made anymore. ✌️

@@AnotherCameraChannel Could to know cuz I am selling my 120t to get this instead.

@@BYCWELL wow a 120T! That’s old school Aputure right there!!

I feel you, it would be great if it was cheaper, but those CRMX chips and other fancy parts ain’t cheap I guess.

3x Inifinibar PB12s through an 8x8 :)

@@AnotherCameraChannelthat’s a beautiful effect!

@ thanks :) I’ve been trying to do some more interesting setups for the product hero shots

This 80C's output is only slightly less than the aputure 300x in terms of lux and foot candles so a 150C would presumably have significantly more output than a 300x so it's pretty remarkable how efficient they've gotten.

🤩🥹

It’s crazy what a quick google search or stroll thru b&w can do for us curious minds

exactly!

That was my initial thought. Then I remembered that the 1200x BLAIR had a higher output than the 1200d. So, I guess I'll wait wait until I see output numbers. If it's less than 2/3 the output of the 300c in white and RGB, then it's not worth it in my book.

@@SimplestUsernamethe 60x is $420retail. this is a much better upgrade for only 180 more

@@B-Moye or you could just get the Aputure amaran 300c for less sure it’s bigger but it’s also more powerful, without the spot feature that the 60x has it’s not much of a comparison or draw for me.

@lemnisgate8809 the 300C has no CRMX, no DMX. :( And when I turned them on side by side, the colours aren’t the same which was interesting. The Storm line up is superior for sure, if you need the features it provides. I personally need CRMX now in my work, I didn’t buy more 300Cs for this reason. I believe the 300C is still brighter but it’s not built like the 80c. No IP rating etc etc Tools for different jobs :) But I’m sure there’ll be some middle sized fixtures in STORM which will beat out the 300C even in output. 👍

Probably the cost of CRMX alone is like 100$ so I think it’s reasonably priced, but of course I do wish the price could be lower though!

I believe that’s the idea, Mitch has alluded to that before, we didn’t try it though as we didn’t want to scratch anything accidentally.

Yes it does. As long as the barn doors are not on the CF12, the foam can be rearranged inside the case to make the 1000c with the CF12 mounted fit inside of the case.

Thank you Mitch :)

Yes! It works very well

Woahhh, no way, only 2020?! I must have gotten it pretty soon after launch because I swear it feels old to me now 😅 Time flies... I blame COVID

NGL I feel like the 60d/60x have been out for forever😂😂

@ yeah I also think because they come from a time with no DMX, no CRMX included they automatically are considered older than a lot of the other products. If they had them, even just wired DMX then they’d feel less old

Hahah right right! To be fair, I had the only set of lights in the country and they arrived one day before I picked them up to shoot the video and then I had to give them back straight away for other people to go play with them. But very true, we do get things pretty quick here in Korea as we're only a small sea away from China :)

Can't wait for that then! Thank you!

But you are more cute! 🥰

Thank you 🤗

The wheels I believe are just the standard 9" option, I wasn't given a choice when we got our because we bought both from the Trade show floor "as is"

Thank you 👍

It’s a Seetec 28” 4K monitor

Out of the box ours do, but I need to update them and see if they removed the voices. I believe they were going to do something like that!

It’s a Seetec 28” 4K monitor

Yes it does 2,500K to 10000K and has full +1 / -1 Green Magenta 👍

1200X is the best light now for sure. 👌

Depends on what you need, if you're a videographer, a DP, a rental house, or an owner-op gaffer, and also what the rest of your lighting inventory looks like. They are different tools that fulfill different needs. If you need a bright, deep blue wash over your background, gels on the 1200x might not get you what you want. If you're lighting from outside, through a window, and you want strong "sunlight" streaming in, the 600C Pro II might not have the punch you want. If you're trying to own just one big light, that's a choice only you can make based on what you need the most right now. If you're adding to your inventory, you could consider getting both. I own a 1200D but find myself needing that AND something in the 600 range and have worked with rented 600C's quite a bit lately, so I may pick one up. Another way of looking at it - keep doing whatever work you do, and feel out where the pain points and limitations are. After enough shoots, you'll know what you're always saying you wish you had on hand. OR, if people are renting your gear, you'll know what most often gets requested that you don't have. That will inform you MUCH better on what to buy than any rando's KZbin comment.

@@AnotherCameraChannel What??? Yes in terms of quality and output but for one man run and gun situations it is wayyyy too big and cumbersome!

@@LukeSchaeferFilms it’s not *that* much bigger than a 600 really. It’s a bit heavier and the case is only a bit taller so moving it around isn’t too different. It would require a Combo stand over a C-stand so that’s true that that’s a more cumbersome item. However with the other new Storm lineup coming soon, there should be smaller fixtures than 1200, so buying any of these right now is probably a bad idea. Better to wait a little bit more and benefit from the better mount, better colour/flexibility options, better output etc. if the question is purely investment, right now 1200X for sure.

because X gon' give it to ya~

Thank you Mitch and thank you for your hard work, looking forward to discovering these Easter eggs you mentioned :)

Think of them as the gift that keeps on giving. 😎

Get two!
