2:05 😱 you good?

[@EpicLightMedia]

My face is a little melted and my eyes hurt… so no, I’m not OK. Thanks for asking.

[@TelekinesisStudios]

Opthamologist: Did you ever look into a really bright light, like the sun? Thomas: Definitely not an Aputure 600x at 4 inches. Why? Opthamologist: You have cataracts. Thomas: NOT an Aputure… I have what?

[@airtrafficmedia]

@@EpicLightMedia Looks like a dynamic range problem to me. Light is just doing its job. 😒 sheesh…

[@quantumimagesQC]

Little tip for assembling Aputure softboxes : put one arm inside the bowen mount hole to hold one side of the velcro and your other arm outside to attach. Works perfectly and it's easy to assemble !

[@billyboy1er]

I'l do you one better, attach the velcros when the softbox is folded and never detach them ever again! Also don't grab each individual rod to clip them, just clip one and then put the softbox facedown on flat ground and push down on the bowens mounts in a rotating manner, setup will take less than 10 seconds!

[@quantumimagesQC]

@@billyboy1er Yeah I've tried that, but I feel like it may be damaging the rods to push them all in place at the same time. But it's just a feeling, might be alright !

[@AronBagel]

I was so excited when I finally got to bring a 600D to a commercial project last month. Didn't end up using it once because we couldn't get it dim enough! But man, I love these lights.

[@DaveMajor]

That 150 softbox made the image look incredible!

[@MustacheWax]

The freakin' fabric in the back... a brand new dome and still short on that fabric. Looks incredible though...

[@RaoulEnoiu]

LED is definitely getting closer to being a standard. They sure are making good lights with each new one. Also just wanted to let you know I subscribed anyway… so yeah this is awkward

[@sceneineugene7034]

Good review, but please note that gels do not necessarily halve the light output. A common, full CTO will indeed cut the light output by one stop (halve the light). But gels can vary from 1/3 stop for a 1/4 CTO, up to 5 stops or more for dark, party gels. There may be other reasons for going with a bi-color light, like convenience. But as you've mentioned, bi-color lights have less raw output than daylight lights. The 600X at 2700K is only 57% of the intensity at 5600K, roughly half the output. The 600D has 52% more output than the 600X at 5600K. Thanks for listening, and keep up the good work!

[@eugenewashingtonjr.1123]

Really nice option to be able to change lighting set ups to match nearly any environments quickly, so I've always loved the bi color options myself. I like both of your shots compared at 6:26 - 6:28 side by side. I love the warmth of the counter top on the 4000K, and on the wood panel back splash, I feel it adds to the area. I also feel like there is more there. To me the faucet has more variation of colors to it under the 4000K lighting, than "just a silver" faucet loop. The flowerpot also has so much more character, life and richness to it under the 4000K lighting. But I do love the greenery of the flowers in the 5600K. Can't really go wrong with this light if it isn't too large for the working space. Nice comparison of the Light Dome 150 at 8:41 - 8:48. I do prefer that wrap around, but that size. Sheesh !!!

[@dna8269]

Lantern might actually be the best of the 3 which is pretty cool since its the cheapest and versatile. Great video as always! One of the best channels on here

[@claywilson6149]

Light and versatile always wins for me . Weight and logistics is key when trying to get that shot . The lighter and more versatile your gear , the more options one has and the quicker . Great review . CANNOT AFFORD IT YET but ...THUMBS UP!

[@AllemandInstable]

love your videos, the best writing of all video centered youtube channels ! ♡

[@f0t0b0y]

My go to is the Lantern. I also think it shines in that comparison.

[@daniel_wilkinson]

Looks nice. I'm probably not going to invest in one seeing as how I'm in post production. But it looks nice.

[@Loqu4]

LOL

[@JonathanPetersonlisten2EITS]

I’m really liking these videos! Keep up the great work!

[@WhySteve]

Does the light come with a speaker playing dramatic music every time you switch it on?

[@pizzomedia7261]

What are the use cases where you would use a 300x? Wondering if I should get another 300x or get a 300d for more output. I also have a couple 60x lights that work well to film things like weddings, lighting up a dance floor for speeches, etc. The versatility is nice on the x series though. 600x would be overkill for me. I’m not trying to light big sets Nd I do very minimal work outside. Most often I’m doing product commercials, interviews and short documentaries. Thanks

[@artistadrtm]

The indoor test, looks like the lights are off completely in that room. Is that light that weak? 600w?

[@CesarGamino]

I've been waiting for this - video well done - thanks again!

[@teacherofteachers1239]

I would love this light but I think I would need the Sekonic C-800 at the same time so I could discover what temperature to set it at. And also I have already run into situations where I could have used that 600d version to help improve my daylight shoots. "Desire is the root of all suffering."

[@MiguelReyes-sx1vs]

Takes light to the face! -- Me: He is crazy!!!! is he still able to see after that? and you almost had me.... I thought I was going to see some throwing off the roof action! but nope!

[@Debloper]

"Because I'm not weird..." and self-awareness & identity crisis kicks in immediately!

[@BransenPass]

Can’t wait for that 1200. Also very curious if they will eventually make a 1200x.

[@VPproductionthatsme]

I’m pretty sure!

[@YoungBlaze]

i heard they are going to make a 32000xd pro

[@TylerEdwards]

Want want want want! Love my 600D Pro!

[@mattc3510]

Freaking love your style of videos man awesome work

[@DANI.GASSNER]

Thanks for the comparison with a giraffe. Had a good laugh.

[@Gleebi]

4:44 triggered a belly laugh

[@kevinmcroberts8527]

Does Aputure make head cable extensions in case we need to put a key light above the giraffe's eyeline?

[@EpicLightMedia]

Hahaha

[@margaritagusak9649]

How many hours it can run without electricity only on batteries?

[@Itaketoomanypics]

Live my 600d can’t wait to add this one

[@ianthebrightman]

I literally coughed when you mentioned throwing it off the roof hahaha

[@creativesymon]

Great vid. And yeh, why not an extra flap over those light dome gaps.

[@Praxiszooms]

haaaaaah what a cool action packed review! Looove it!

[@anamorphicalan]

I like lighting 150, even lighting of entire face

[@airtrafficmedia]

I’m really not that interested in lights. But several bonus points for the soundtrack in this one.

[@claywilson6149]

4k ! Definitely .

[@fatheadmediapro]

Man for only $100 more seems like a no brainer. Do you know if there is the 600X is less powerful than the 600d because of the adjustable color temp? Also, totally feel you on the fabric not fitting. Just had to send my apurture lantern back to B&H because I couldn't even close it! Hopefully the next one at least fits.

[@marinrealestatephotography]

2:36 That poor reflector

[@charlesnetzler2262]

I wanna see the 1200D outside.

[@sickhcivc]

Would this be brighter than a 300d?

[@DannyPytell]

Thomas, when will you be throwing more equipment off the roof? The world needs to know! :P

[@maheshrai9935]

Can I got gel mode like other light Nova p300c

[@clarke.inverary]

This light isn't bright enough for me but glad aputure finally released it. I can't wait to see you review the 1200D

[@maheshrai9935]

Also it is colour in build like RGB

[@brunomamede2352]

150 is the best one

[@ebindboby6020]

Another dope video

[@EpicLightMedia]

Thanks!!!

[@bencorwin]

Amazing.

[@mrshaheedmalik]

Thomas is Ralph from the Simpsons grown up.

[@HelloImMaxxHennard]

☀️☀️☀️☀️

[@bosslightproductions498]

Lantern

[@RaybanNunes]

Cheaper Alternative ?

[@EpicLightMedia]

Aputure 300x also Nanlite might have some options.

[@YoungBlaze]

*ehh... i still think the sun is brighter*

[@lionbeatscobra]

Damn shame it isn't bright enough for outdoor interview use...

[@kameramanhv]

Not paid for review but got 2grand light 👍

[@RayValdezPhotography]

he did have some criticisms he didnt act like it was perfect or the brand was perfect.

[@chrstphrdyer]

5600

[@Lifeonbooks]

I'm so pissed at you guys. I've been waiting for one of these for months, and I thought this video signaled that they were available.

[@EpicLightMedia]

Normally it would but basically everything is unavailable right now. It’s hard to buy anything film related unfortunately.

[@Lifeonbooks]

@@EpicLightMedia I know. I'm not really mad at you guys. ❤

[@ralballer]

"They give us stuff, not because we say good things, but because we really really like them"..... Are you sure? Because I really really like them too, but they don't give me anything. Also, they may not technically give you any money, but a free light counts for something, right? I don't think you are that naive. We're not.

[@JonnyMorfoulis]

Looks like an ursa

[@anamorphicalan]

太好啊

[@sierradaniels7072]

can the just make these rgb already damn

[@videoguy3110]

Not sure who needs to hear this, big affordable softboxes exist already.

[@LuxWad]

Glad to see the channel declining, I never enjoyed the reviews, they're incredibly dry and boring. You didn't even throw this one off the roof! Just shilling for products I want to buy now.

[@benjamin.kelley]

Epic Light Media is a channel in decline

[@Praxiszooms]

4000 K

[@orangejjay]

I always find it funny how these cinematography channels say "we're not getting paid for this" when you just said "they gave us $2000 in products." 🤣 Love you guys but COME ON: You got paid in gear and continue to get paid in gear by Aputure. You wouldn't do these videos just to be nice ... you do them cuz you want their stuff. And that's fine. Me, I prefer to spend my money than show my face simping for a brand. Just seems like something teenagers do and as an adult ... that phase is long gone. 😂

[@Harkai.Patrick]

I need to unsubscribe from this channel, the useful information and funny way you present all of it makes me wanna try those products and i have no money to spend on awesome equipment… please do not post anymore 😂👍🏻

[@electronicbox6990]

For me the LANTERN looks the best and almost the same for 10 time less money. lol Great skin color ex..

[@workingwiththelight3119]

I liked 4000k more and 150cm softbox

[@MikaHeiskanen]

If you're so keen on people not subscribing, you can turn the subscriber count off ;D

[@EpicLightMedia]

Good idea!!!!

[@cubul32]

Ok. I didn't subscribe.

[@AdamFunk]

The editing and music on this one are brilliant. I mean, gotta unsubscribe from this degenerate content, obvs, but...good job.

[@GabrielGarcia-pg1pi]

Nanlite Forza 500 is more brighter than this Aputure and way more cheap... Aputure, you need to check this... Not buying an Aputure thing anymore, you are paying for the brand...

[@dna8269]

Forza 500 has inferior build quality though. You get what you pay for in this case and lighting equipment is nothing to skimp on. Buy nice, never buy twice

[@sizzlereel3523]

Promise: I'll un-sub from you IF you regurgitate some of your lighting knowledge directed at reactors on YT. I'll even take back my likes if you really want.

[@adrienpayet]

Epic Light Media is a channel that doesn't lie, they are a media that makes videos about epic lights. Love your channel seriously the content is so good. PS : I tried to unsubscribe several times, but every time, KZbin wants me to meet your channel again. Sorry, you really should delete your channel.
