face in thumbnail pic says "yeah it's another one of those again"

[@YoungBlaze]

Well I mean $1,500 is no slouch either though

[@HilleCine]

Appreciate these reviews cheers.

[@ShowCat1]

Very informative. Thanks!

[@carlitoshuanes]

Andrew, will Nanlite be sending you the new bicolor FS units to review? They're extremely attractive from a value standpoint, but I'd really love your opinion on them in general and specifically how the striped COB's perform with the fresnel and projector mounts.

I thought the dimming looked remarkably good. Better than the 600D for sure.

Godox has always been a ''value'' brand and they often cut one too many corners when it comes to making a quality product. I see it as a friendly entry if you're a gaffer with no equipment whatsoever and you need to buy a lot of gear quick but I would probably sell it for something more substantial as soon as the first gig is over. All that being said.. I was incredibly surprised with the results when paired with the nanlite projector. Good to know! (Note: The Aputure projector mount is only rated for up to their 300W light, do you think it can handle 600W output? Is it a bit like the Aputure 1200D and the fresnel, depending on the day?)

[@SachinParmar2014]

I've used the projector mount with my 600D at full power for hours on end. It does get VERY hot, but apart from that no issues!

[@gaffergear]

It can take the Aputure 600D, it's just not optically optimised for it

[@buzzzzer]

Can you power the unit ON with the app without pressing the physical ON button on the unit?

[@gaffergear]

I no longer have this light so I can't answer

[@bh6984]

What is that adapter on your c-stand that "receives" the light mount?

[@gaffergear]

Can you give me a time point in the episode to refer to

[@bh6984]

@@gaffergear At 4:45 you set the light's mounting stem down into the "receiver" on the C-Stand. I ask because at the top of my C-Stand I have just a standard stud whereas you have something that engulfs the light's mounting stem. Thank you!

[@gaffergear]

@@bh6984 this is a combo stand. It has both receivers in the top.

[@shariffathy]

I think this Godox 10" fresnel can work with Aputure 600 series

[@gaffergear]

This is so long abo I can't even remember if I had any Aputure at the time.

[@user-mp5ux5yq5k]

Different manufacturers' optical lenses are optimized for themselves, rather than compatible with all their peers. Like APPLE is not compatible with Android

I'm a huge Godox fan. But over the last few weeks, they have totally ruined their lighting App. It's a total dogs breakfast. Previously, I had no issues with it. I have reached out to them but got the whole "sorry, Chinese New Year" spiel.
