Are SmallRig Lights Brighter?!?

Check out my minimalist lighting kit for inspiration to build your own! kit.co/jpOnFilm/minimalist-light-kit

Hyper-reflector wars! You're the only person I know that goes in depth with color accuracy of lights, thank you! You know I would like to see a shootout between lights with skin tones and how bad it actually effects your videos. Possibly a 2-5 light shootout wit those different R9 values and how it would look in real world side by side. I know you're shooting in RAW so it doesn't matter but LOG formats, and baked in formats may tend to suffer. You actually made me start looking for that light meter you have, this is the only place I can see it used lol. If you want more lights to test out I would have no problem if needed. Once again man thanks for the info.

Great idea!

[@heroaomedia]

Another great video, Justin! So I'm confused, has Smallrig just created a very impressive hyper reflector? Would using a smallrig hyperflector on an Apurture increase it's output?

[@gaboguerra950]

Thanks for sharing What was that app you used to see the Footcandle and camera settings?

[@JustinPhillip]

Pcam!

[@the180degreerule3]

what is up Justin? hope You good and well brother! this is a really good light, however I'm set for day/bi-color lighting, and targeting RGB lighting for now! it's always a pleasure getting content from You man, keep pushing!

[@JustinPhillip]

Thanks! RGB lighting is even stickier territory when it comes to budget lights. Let me know what you find!

[@the180degreerule3]

@@JustinPhillip Man It is indeed a stickier territory, however, I found the perfect light for me, I went with Litepanels Gemini 1x1 Hard, they sell for 2500$ in the US, in the UK for 1698 euro, I'm not from America and now that the USD is no different than the Euro because of inflation and I import film gear anyway, I went with CVP instead of B&H (Take that Biden lol)...love that light man, it's built like a tank; buttons and nobs are so professional level I believe this light will happily serve for years to come and light, the output is so powerful even in color mode, and I can use it outdoor in Moroccan bright sunny day no problem...it's so good I went with more units than I planned in order to use them in 2x1, 2x2, or any configuration I need, impressive lights man! I hope You check them out if You haven't yet, You'll be amazed

[@NickDelDuca]

Hey Justin, Would you get this or the Amaran 200x?

What is the output without reflector of the other lights in your comparison? This info would've been helpful.

[@JustinPhillip]

👌🏼

I bought Zeiss 50mm f1.7 and 28 Distagon f2.8 back in the’80’s. For my Contax film camera. Blown away by your assessment of the movie lenses.

[@jean-pierrejoubert2438]

Thanks for the in-depth and honest review dude. Love your stuff man. Much appreciated for the info

[@fatheadmediapro]

thanks for the video man. was quite surprised when i saw smallrig realease these lights ha. hey so what is that app that you had pulled up with f/stop and camera settings? looks like it could be very useful.

[@JustinPhillip]

Pcam app! I love it! I use it for everything camera & lighting related. No affiliation its just an amazing app

[@fatheadmediapro]

@@JustinPhillip thanks!

[@Holtenstein]

Great review as usual. I'm just too deep into the Aputure ecosystem to jump on these. However, I love the competition.

[@chilee5513]

Great review! Thank you, Justin!

[@nguyenhoangvu9609]

How it compare to nanlite forza 200?

[@weightlessfilms5651]

Definitely needs that V-mount adapter to be worth it in even the budget filmmakers bag. Bummer it can't run at full capacity on the smaller v-mounts. I think you said the adapter is included at B&H. It doesn't appear to be when I checked the link. But I could be wrong.

[@JustinPhillip]

Its in pretty small print, under the title?

[@vivianvaldi7871]

75% on skin / 40 % power from a 300d II 5350 K / Light Dome II + heavy diff + grid / F 2.4 24p 180d 400 ISO. Need 1/2 stop more to get to these setting, so should go to 60 % power or 180 W output... against 220W in your set.... that's near : just 40W hiding somewhere, maybe in the distance.

[@earnieboy54]

Power and performance may be nice but I’d rather spend more for reliability and better engineering.
