Same Power as Nanlite Forza 500 but Half The Cost - Nanlite FC500B

[@johnnyweissmuller5838]

I bought this and a portable 1000Wh power-station. It was still around 50% the cost of the forza 500, and I can power it longer than I could with v-mounts anyway!

That’s so smart 🔥🔥 you’ve unlocked the matrix 😂💪

Where did you get a portable 1000Wh power-station for only a few hundred €/$/£?

[@johnnyweissmuller5838]

@ cyberphoto in sweden had a 50% deal of for a zendure power station, it was roughly 380 euro, i bought the light on sale too for around 750 euro

@@johnnyweissmuller5838 How did you connect it? Nobody ever talks about the USB for anything except firmware upgrades, so I'm wondering if you used one with 110/220 output, or found one with 48 VDC output?

[@johnnyweissmuller5838]

@@bobn1955 Its not connected with USB, its connected with the usual power cable, the power station has 2 110/220V outputs

Nicely done, good explanation of the case - but showing how powerful a light is by just showing a bright light, doesn't actually mean anything. You could be on iso 16000 at f2.8 and a toy light would look as bright. You need to show it in context to direct sun or provide camera settings.

[@michamikulski9737]

You're interested more about how the light looks on the outside than how it actually performs in terms of light quality, power output, whether or not the attached dish produces a hotspot or not...

I love your office lighting setup, buddy!

[@smartzpixel]

what is the mount u use on the ligh stand

[@Francisfphoto_]

Is it as sharp as the Forza 500 II B? Because the FS 300B COB design is different, and has softer shadows

[@adamjan]

Hi, do you think fan noise can be an issue with Nanlite FC-500B for interviews?

[@AlexDon]

Not at all, you can also stop the fan if needed but there's no point for that since it's super silent.

[@emmanuelpena6991]

I was very very very excited and was going to order it on Amazon until I heard that it can't use a V mount battery. No V mount, no party. 😥😥😥

[@Rahproductionsmiami]

Is the power output less at 5600k compared to the forza 500?

[@timdanyo898]

Having to control it from the head or use the app is a big minus.

[@jon7079]

what light stand are you using in the video? thx

[@matthewjackson2656]

does it work with the Nanlite fresnel lens?

[@ignaskarlonas4783]

Tripod stand?
