Godox KNOWLED F400bi Light Mat Review | Film lighting with the BMCC6K

[@jarodparkerdirector]

Who here will switch to a light mat after this review? This is my first ever one so I'm very excited to learn new ways to light!

[@izzymoon6718]

The information that you deliver is so on point it’s unreal. Your vids are so engaging and entertaining, 10/10 stars man this is so cool! 🔥

[@jarodparkerdirector]

Thank you so much man appreciate it! 🔥

[@JoeOberster]

Do you cover the overhead set up more in depth in any videos?

[@jarodparkerdirector]

No I don't but I do have cinematography breakdowns coming soon! That might help

[@RobertJohnPhotography]

The problem with all these prosumer lights is there grids are to shallow. One of the reasons for spill light. I do use ND's indoors when I have a widow in the back ground and don't want it blown out. Thats when powerful lights are great to have. With ND cutting window brightness you can crank up light to match exposure.

[@jarodparkerdirector]

100% agree, do you use these lights often then?

[@RobertJohnPhotography]

@@jarodparkerdirector Yes. My main light is a Nanlite Forza 720B. Also have Forza 500 and a couple of Aputure Novas. Don't have any of these mat style lights. Was interested in the Godox Godox KNOWLED F600bi 4 X 4

[@jarodparkerdirector]

@RobertJohnPhotography ahh nice, the F600 4x4 is massive by the looks of it. If you have a big enough studio you could just have it up all the time as a key light

[@Milkybar882]

What is the fan noise like. Just had to send back the Amran 22c, the noise was crazy loud.

[@jarodparkerdirector]

Great question, fan noise on the light is absolutely silent however there is a tiny bit of noise on the light console but is always away from sound mics anyway so not a problem in my experience

[@Milkybar882]

@@jarodparkerdirector I have sent back the Amran it was so loud on the console

[@Shotbysauce]

What Lens do you use ?

[@jarodparkerdirector]

I use a variety of lenses BUT this video was shot on GreatJoy 35 and 50mm anamorphic lenses, does that answer your question? This is a link to my Sigma 18 - 35mm lens which I often use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoPPmqKJeZ6hmposi=45o2fIPeImUrjK0f

[@saintwolfvision]

would you use this as a main key over your parabolic?

[@jarodparkerdirector]

All depends on what you’re shooting?? I think the key word with this light is flexibility! The parabolics do create a really nice soft diffusion on the face, do you get what I mean??

[@saintwolfvision]

yeh i do see that - i like this light but i am leaning to the standard softbox because of just that. nothing beats the way skin looks. @@jarodparkerdirector

[@saintwolfvision]

maybe in the future I will get this. for now think im gonna go with the Godox LA150 for price and weight - shooting podcast 2-4 people btw. thanks@@jarodparkerdirector

[@jarodparkerdirector]

@saint_wolf I think that’s a good choice, that’s kinda what I did as well. Slowly expand you don’t need the biggest light straight away

[@tomcrawford6996]

Brilliant acting. Good Video. What’s not to love?

[@jarodparkerdirector]

All thanks to you my man ❤️
