GODOX SL100BI - MORE than Spec Sheets

[@jerendraws]

I have two questions: who’s holding you hostage? if I subscribe will they set you free?

[@FilmAshton]

He who must not be named... doubt it, but it's worth a shot!

[@tomask.3983]

Exactly the test I was looking for! Very well presented indeed. This video alone deserves more subscibers than the 388 you´ve got. Well, you just got me also! Thanks a lot!

[@DanilloCabrera]

Great video!

[@praksh0693]

Your videos are so amazing! I just cant believe you have 297 subscribers!

[@FilmAshton]

I need to be more consistent I guess ha! Thanks for the compliment.

[@GearSeekers]

One of my Amaran 100Xs just died. This is what I will be replacing it with. Thanks!

[@FilmAshton]

What did you think of the 100X while you had it?

[@thewholeninemedia]

Just the video I needed man! Very well done as well. Think I’m gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on this light since I’ll be doing video work for clients soon and I need my light kit upgraded

[@FilmAshton]

Love it! It’s a great light and I have really enjoyed it! What kind of work are you doing?

[@thewholeninemedia]

@@FilmAshton I have some short form interview style projects coming up. That plus I’m a filmmaker so I always need lights. I do my own KZbin videos as well. I’ll definitely get a lot of value out of this light

[@veesoho93]

Very nice video thank you

[@FilmAshton]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mohamed.Khoudair]

Thank you so much.

[@FilmAshton]

Glad this helped!

[@krisoddy6983]

Kool. I was just considering the sl60w but would be shooting mostly 120fps. This sounds like a better option cheers bro

[@FilmAshton]

No doubt! Have some higher output lighting is really helpful! Thanks for watching homie!

[@saintwolfvision]

cool video thanks

[@FilmAshton]

Thanks for the comment saint wolf!

[@Mohamed.Khoudair]

Do you recommend this light for interviews? Like 1 to 2 hours of continuous lighting? And which softbox do you recommend for this?

[@FilmAshton]

Hey, I use this light for interviews all the time! It’s pretty solid for having flexible and bright light. I use several different modifiers, but usually a Godox softbox or a lantern

[@emilydowepa-c8975]

Outstanding video

[@FilmAshton]

Glad it helped!

[@damenratliff96]

Great video!

[@FilmAshton]

☺️

[@Mohamed.Khoudair]

Did you have any problems with this light or anything that needs fixing? Do they handle heavy duty work? I'm afraid of fixing this in the very near future.

[@FilmAshton]

I have been using mine since a little before I made this video. It’s solid for hours of work and mine is still in like new condition! They aren’t brighter than a $1300 light, but two of them probably is! It’s plastic, so if you’re rough on gear and just toss it around, then you may need something more expensive

[@Mohamed.Khoudair]

@@FilmAshton Man, thank you so much. You're a very good person. You helped too much. Gonna subscribe, you deserve the best.

[@Mohamed.Khoudair]

@@FilmAshton I'm gonna build a cyclorama, I don't know if this light will help or not. I'm a little bit confused. Wanna do some interviews, you know that all around white background?

[@Многоканальныймир]

Very nice video, going to bay this light

[@FilmAshton]

Stellar light! Just used it on a music video today and it was amaIng

[@Многоканальныймир]

@@FilmAshton I gave finished my research with Aputure Amaran 200X. Very nice light soon will be posting first video.

[@mmughal]

Thanks for the video, what softbox you suggest

[@FilmAshton]

I have found that I really enjoy using the Godox lantern, but I have also picked up a 6’ impact umbrella that is pretty stellar as well. Lots of great options out there!

[@YoungDecent1]

good job!

[@FilmAshton]

Thanks! Working on some new content now!

How does the fan noise directly compare to the SL60W?

[@FilmAshton]

You know, I think that is difficult to say because the fan noise from one unit to the next is slightly different on the SL60. I’d say that the 100BI That I have is pretty darn quiet and has a very gentle and easy to remove fan noise.

[@tomask.3983]

@@FilmAshton Suppose you would have mentioned it, but can you turn off the fan completely with reduced lighting capacity, like I have seen some lights - they can be totally quiet with fans turned off but will only put out like 30-50% of max light...

[@IsaacFromHK]

I used the Amaran 100x once and I wonder how do these two compare?

[@FilmAshton]

Generally similar. It seems that it’s really a luck of the draw for if you get a great unit or not. Mostly fan noise can be an issue. The amaranth stuff gets way hotter and this is generally louder, but both solid lights for the output.

[@manisharora6233]

How much is the output difference sl 60 nd sl 100?

[@FilmAshton]

The SL100 W is nearly twice as bright, but the SL100BI is barely brighter than the SL60W

[@elihennessy]

How is this light in vs the sun in a room

[@FilmAshton]

It’s hard to answer this because the sun offers lots of brightness levels due to time of day, clouds, etc. It’s not a Hollywood light, but it will bring your exposure to a useable level if you’re close enough to the subject you’re lighting
