Aputure STORM 80C | CUTEST Colour Light Yet

[@mitchgross592]

Great videos. Three quick comments. - The reflector is 35° (hence the numbers). - The CF4 Barn Doors can hold a 5” scrim (that’s the reason for the clip you play with in the video). - There is indeed a new Spotlight in the works for the 80c.

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

Thank you Mitch :)

@@AnotherCameraChannel Hi bro. What is the best lighting for KZbin video shooting under $250 from Amazon? If possible, what kind of vertical lighting did you use in this video? Thank you.

[@xWood4000]

I'd like a 150c. The led lights are so much more powerful nowadays that you don't necessarily need a 300W fixture

[@daleelliott7390]

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.

[@cubul32]

​@@daleelliott7390 it has a narrower angle

[@thomassawyer2236]

hey that reminds me of my Nanlite 60c

[@evanthecameraman]

"If you remember the 60x from a long long time ago..." I guess 2020 may as well be the stone age to some people. I get it, tech moves fast, but geez.

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

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

[@B-Moye]

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

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

@ 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

[@mntvs]

BapMokja!

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

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

[@KrisKhunachak]

A rep in Aputure's Instagram comments said a spotlight zoom attachment for the 80c is due out early next year!

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

Can't wait for that then! Thank you!

[@andyturner5820]

I have a portable 8X8 backdrop (white) that I want to add a solid color to. This looks like it would be perfect to do that. What do you think? Would one be enough or would you suggest two (if you think this would work :)

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

Yeah these would work! Depending on your space requirements, maybe one further away is better so it’s more even across the paper/backdrop, or you could try two and bounce them in from the sides using polyboard? Or maybe the bulb style adapter is good for this usage! I’d had good experience also using grey paper too to get deeper colours!

[@pkendall99]

how much brighter is it than the 60DS?

[@SightseeingStan]

Nice to see you got to play around with the fresnel! I guess Europe is a bit slower... 😅

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

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 :)

[@brittacurkovic]

I’d love a 300c… and I definitely want a 3 pack of the 80c’s, the 60’s I have come on every shoot with me

[@LukasStumpf]

Get the amaran 300c - just fine!

[@yourfriendsunny2345]

So cute~~~~😍🥰👍🏻

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

But you are more cute! 🥰

[@nshea3286]

Does it have built in CRMX?

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

Yes! It works very well

[@Rayfield252]

I watch this whole video before I realized I wouldn’t buy it. $599??😮😮😂😂

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

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

[@slicktoroid]

How’s it compare brightness levels to a 120d?

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

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. ✌️

[@BYCWELL]

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

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

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

[@SAVÔNLÈNE]

@@AnotherCameraChannel I think he wanted to type 120d not 120t 😂

no Bowens adapter ...

[@MtZionMediaPro]

It would be nice to know the price and outputs and luxs, without those two things, this light literally it's meaningless to me right now as far as purchasing.

[@B-Moye]

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

[@VLK2024]

Forza60CR RIP 😅

[@lemnisgate8809]

For $599 give me a break.

[@SimplestUsername]

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.

[@B-Moye]

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

[@lemnisgate8809]

@@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.

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

@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. 👍

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

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!

[@jfratis9081]

still cant make the fresnel work properly.

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

What’s wrong? 🤔

[@jfratis9081]

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

[@jayrey7]

Damn not bad for $599.

exactly!
