Great review, thanks Andrew. The colour quality looks great, but I do feel RGBACL technology will have the edge in brightness for point source lights going forward. Let's see how that optimised projection attachment goes... usually not good to start with a larger COB for optics.

I got to see this light on NAB this year. The comparison between 600X helped a ton. I love my 600D but I find myself putting a CTO on it for the majority of its use so I think it's time for a 600X. 600D has been incredibly useful to bounce for a larger source.

Hi Andrew! Really great reviews. Thank you! But a quick question: I compared your data of the 600c with the 600x. And without a modifier the 600c seems to have more output than the 600x. Is this correct? If so my conclusion would be that the 600c has more output when using it with the 150 Dome. Can you confirm that?
@lusw2 жыл бұрын
Great extensive video! Congrats! I'm only lost on the F10 and 600c. I got it that it's not optimized for the size of the cob for the 600c and 1200d, but you mentioned that only increases by 59% on using on the 600c and 35% on using on the 600D and 47% on the 600X. And then says you'll not be substituting bicolor lights for the full color ones because of this. But 59% is bigger than 35 and 47%, what am I missing? Best regards!
@cfl42862 жыл бұрын
He said that it increases the light level of the 600c from the bare chip by 59%. Then he said that max brightness from the 600c with the fresnel on Is only 35% the brightness of the 600d with the fresnel. Then he said that max brightness of the 600c with the fresnel is only 47% the brightness of the 600x with the fresnel. So the 600c with fresnel is only about half as bright as the 600x with fresnel, and it’s about 1/3 the brightness of the 600d with its fresnel.

Do you still think they'll make one? and if not, do you have any advice on a barndoor sollution for the 600c. Is there a third party bowens barndoors you know of that would fit?

@@jimmypurtill6331 I don't think they will make a fresnel for this, just because of size and weight. I have discovered (in Flood) that the Forza fresnel works better on this light. Good barn door cuts, about brighter but not a huge amount, but a heck of a lot lighter weight and cheaper. I use that combination a lot.

@@creativegreats6924 the 600C and 1200d COB are about the same size i.e. they're larger than the 600d/600X COB and as a result they're not optimised for the F10 fresnel. You don't gain much output with the 1200d with the F10 fresnel and with the 600C you're actually better off just going with the included reflector. Also, the shadows aren't as sharp.
