Aputure 600C PRO II - It's Finally Here!

[@curtisjudd]

Nice step forward and great coverage. Thanks for this!

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

Thank you for commenting Mr Judd, always a fan of your work :)

It seems like they've adjusted the curve the brightness control uses, which is definitely useful for people who want to go dimmer.

[@carpetbomberz]

Xander, I cannot thankyou enough for doing the reviews on lights. Much needed info, knowing what's coming out. 👍

[@joeaddison]

According to aputure the bare bulb reading makes this 600cii brighter than the 600x, I'm curious to see if that's correct as there may be a hot spot in the center of the beam with this new lower strength diffusion on the cob.

[@Cinegavo]

interesting you can share the ballast with such low end dimming

[@cfl4286]

Solid review. The low end dimming hopefully will help in the effects modes like fire flicker. I used the original 600c a few months back in the fire mode and it was pretty lackluster and unconvincing. Basically looked like it was just going back and forth between two brightness settings. No real nuanced fading or flicker to speak of. Another thing to mention is this is officially IP rated whereas the 600d, 600x and previous 600c were not.

[@volt416]

The spotlight test is interesting. The max version is definitely more smooth, but the original looks to have more output? When you are spotting onto a bounce board or light bridge, the original spotlight seems like it would be a better choice.

[@muricanmike]

Is this the new hotness?!? Putting this on my list!😊

[@natrix]

Very cool. Is there an actual 83% increase of output in your experience ?

[@moodinfinite]

dude your talking head looks beautiful - how are you lighting it?

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

Thank you! I'm pretty sure for this it was just a 600d with a 105cm Selens Lightdome +grid going through a Matthews 4x4 White Artificial Silk (Yellow) and as a backlight there's a 60X up on the ceiling!

[@robojim4000]

Shame there wasnt a test in a softbox vs an original 600c/600x/600d - that wouldve been the way to compare brightness

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

that's a real good idea! maybe I can try borrow it again and do this

[@robojim4000]

@@AnotherCameraChannel nice one. Yeah, I find that a really good way to test and compare actual output (removing all beam angle variables), and also the way that I’m most likely to use them

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

Here you go Robojim! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4bEppWpp9mIjdU Thanks for your suggestion

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

The nova600c light backgrounds much smoother

[@yourfriendsunny2345]

Nice~😍😍😍

[@JoATTech]

It has the same price ... nice. And they claim like it's almost twice as bright ... although still very expensive :D.

[@waveland]

82% brighter according to the Aputure site. So just shy of a stop of light at the high end. Not bad.

[@igorrutsch]

87 % with the included reflector....
