Here to thank you for creating this channel. It's been a long journey, but this channel helped me to where I am now. Went from consumer camera skills to filming/editing a TV show. Couldn't be more happy having this profession. Keep up the great work, you're helping a lot of folks.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

That means so much to hear BB! Thank you for the encouraging words!

This comparison is so much more helpful than a typical “single product” review. I really appreciate you testing daylight output and testing RGB against Nova 300

[@tperkins073]

Feel better Caleb-take care of yourself! Awesome video and hope to see more of these lights when you're better.

Feel better Caleb! Thank you for the review! Its been helpful in deciding what lights to get for my studio!

Great comparison and video! Sorry to hear about your back, we all hope you feel better soon! Thanks Caleb!

Thank you man! I've had a lot of back issue but this one takes the cake as the weirdest!

Great review, I have been on the fence with the new 600 line and this review helps a ton. Hope you are feeling better

Super clean video as usual! Hope you get better soon. Those cymbals definitely woke me up with headphones on as I had this playing on my second screen. ;D

Thanks again brother. your review is always informative and well detail you take care of that back now.

[@jeremyegrayson]

Thank You Caleb! Wishing you a speedy recovery❤️‍🩹. My 600C Pro arrived last week and I couldn’t be happier. It’s plenty bright at 30% intensity for my needs with interior spaces and we’ll worth the price to have built in color gels at my fingertips. Traditional gels significantly reduce output on any light and higher output lights do have burn potential with gels applied so it was an easy choice going RGBWW.

[@WallStreetImage]

He literally reads my mind with these reviews

[@videoguy3110]

The huge difference in output between the 600d and 600x/600c output really makes these feel like different product categories because the use case is so different. If you were to think in terms of output instead of power consumption with the main point of difference being features the range would instead be 300d/600x/600c, With the 600D sitting out on its own as a light that can be used for large booklights, punching through windows, etc.

[@calebgrundyson2688]

Thanks for the video! Hope you get better soon!

[@AndyLSB]

awesome video Caleb ! I feel you with the massive back problems 😢 sometimes I have to be out for days because of that, be careful man, I found out after many medical test that my problem was do to a hernia on my lower back so ... lifestyle change, anyways feel better man !

[@michaelwhitlock6301]

Does using the spotlight mount on these lights increase output? Great video!

[@GKhanKutar]

Thank you for the video! Can you compare LS 600c with Nova P600c?

[@joeystap]

Hi! Awesome video. What light stand would you recommend for the Aputure 600d Pro?

[@freddymiguelponce]

Great video as always! If you allow me one question please. For a small Home studio which "key light" do you think is a smarter buy? The 300x or the 600x Pro? Thanks in advance and sorry for my English; i'm still learning Have a Productive and Helathy day!

Could you elaborate on the 2 Diffusers you are using. Where they the two that were provided with the soft box? What strength? Thank you

[@rickygeeish]

Hey, what mic are you using in this video?? It sounds incredible.

[@optimumfilms]

Is a daylight bulb with a gel still better than an rgb bulb for color accuracy of the scene?

[@barrysherbeck5801]

Thanks! How do these lights play with higher frame rate video above 60fps? Like 120, 240 etc.

[@S9universe]

Hello i have a stupid question, what does a stronger light source makes in difference to the shadow quality ? let's imagine i have a 1200 aputure and make the light away from the actors does it allow a more contrasty look ? or something like that

[@brittacurkovic]

Does engaging the G/M shift option in the 600C, cause it to lapse into RGB mode and drop from 56,000 lux to 5,640 lux? I'd only be buying this light for the ability to set color temp + G/M shift, so if it can only output 5600 at that moment it's not worth the investment for me...

[@EugeneMaynard]

Get well soon!👍🏾🙏🏾

Does these kind of lights get less brighter after using overtime? Over couple of years?

Thought I'd mix it up ;-)

[@TyroneLT]

Thanks for this video and hope you get better soon! Question about output. What is the difference in output between the 600x and the 600d with a gel on it?

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks man! That is one of the tests I really wanted to do. My guess is the 600D would still be brighter with a full or double CTO but I really can't say without checking.

Yeah I'm thinking about getting a pair of 1200d and 600c for the ultimate corporate gig solution. Also to ditch the gels once and for all.

I like your work and would like to support the channel through the affiliate links. Is there one page where I can find it all? Thanks

[@satra6505]

600C in RGB Lux is the same as Nova P300C, right? I'm starting to hesitate. I think 600C will be 2-3 times more powerful.

[@meetthegaffer]

Very helpful comparison! Sorry to hear about the back; sadly this biz is pretty hard on the body, whether you’re on large or small sets. And it’s not always clear how this or that tweak happened. Feel your pain and wish you the best getting back to your regular self.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

[@cockerjc]

Would it be safe to say that if you put a Full CTO gel on a 600d it would cut the intensity down close to a 600c level set at 3200k?

[@HilleCine]

Did you find and answer? Okay i got this from a facebook group. rosco or lee . "get 1/2 straw which is similar to 1/2 cto but plays nicer with LED lights. if you double 1/2 you get full so it’s much more versatile. a peice or two of 1/4 is also good. stay away from no name/ weird brand stuff. full cto is only 2/3 stop loss btw while CTB is 1 2/3 so easier to go warmer than cooler. even still a peice or two of 1/8 and 1/4 ctb can be handy for fixed temp lights."

[@mtcreate8647]

GOOD VIDEO~thx
