I jumped in with both feet when these first came out and I’ve been so impressed with the quality and reliability. The price point is absolutely spot on and I don’t expect too much from them but they light up a medium set through scrims and modifiers to give a professional look with excellent white balance. Thank you Andrew for another great review.

The ultimate review for me at present would be you reviewing the Prolycht Orion 300 FS, plus their modifiers and including their Projection Lens kit. This Godox seems an amazing lower priced version of the Prolycht Orion 300 FS.

Godox is actually coming out with the Godox Clamp for Attaching V-Mount Accessories. This will allow you to clamp your power brick, via the strap, to what look to be an all metal or metal and some plastic female v-mount mount. It has a pin in the back that fits in to a separate super clamp. Let me know if you'd like me to pass on the link. I've purchased several of these, however, they are still on back order at B&H. Hopefully they will start shipping soon.

Will you make a review/test about nanlux evoke 1200?
@gaffergear3 жыл бұрын
At some point. I have been involved in testing and getting improvements made (as have several people around the world) When Nanlux (Nanlite) are happy they have as close to a perfect light as possible then I will review. This includes the 1200 Dyno and 300B. Their research shows that no one watches follow up episodes when researching a light, so if my first review shows firmware issues then people just take that as the finished product. For example, lots of people didn't buy Forza 500s because they expected the fans to be as loud as the prototype I showed.

What are DMX profiles? Please elaborate.
@robertharker3 жыл бұрын
I think DMX profiles refers to how the different DMX channels (IDs) are used. The number of channels: 1,3,4,5,more. And how the channels are used: Individual color channels, RGBW, or Hue Saturation Intensity, HSI. Other scemes? Astera has this chart for their Titan Tube: astera-led.com/Downloads/Profile/AX2-100%20DMX%20Profiles.pdf

How is the fan noise on this Unit? I Got some led spot lights that the Sound guy will have me run in silent mode which causes less output. Or turned off completely. Fan noise is a Big issue for me on the size led spots…. I often use an astera setup for Night int and this light would be a Great tool for bouncing light in the cealing creating ambient light that Can match the rgb levels of the astera tubes and bulps.

Is it right that in full R (or G or B) mode it's much less bright then in CCT mode? In other words 150W of power doesn't mean that I have 150W of pure red light for example?
@gaffergear3 жыл бұрын
Someone smarter than me would explain this better.... Blue is a better example to use than red, blue always had a low luminosity because it is a dark colour. The best way I can figure to explain is imagine you have two reflectors the exact same size and you decide to paint then both with the exact same amount of paint. But you paint one reflector white, and you paint the other reflector blue. The white reflector will reflect more light than the blue reflector because the blue reflector is a darker colour. Let's say each led is 150w. That's the amount of power used by the LEDs, not a measurement of brightness.
@sigma-epsilon74343 жыл бұрын
@@gaffergear Thank you and I agree that W power don't equal to brightness, some lights have less W but more brightness. I mean that if I'm fixing correctly my exposure on camera when CCT mode is set on light at full power, and then switching to full blue 100% power mode then I have very low exposure and have to increase ISO in about 4-8 times. Color modes are much less brighter. Is it correct for this light? If so it's disappointing.
