I've only watched to the 2:50 min mark, and I've already gotten something out of this video that NO other KZbinr has done. That's to show how big those domes really are! I could never get a sense of it from other videos. I knew some of them were big, but WOW, that will take up a LOT of space in a moderately sized office or studio. Thanks

[@OttoJulian_]

You are welcome, and thanks for your feedback. Yeah the 32 inches one is pretty big!!!

[@Ytterdahls]

Nice comparison between panels and "chip on board" lights. I agree with everything except when you said "The bigger the soft box, the better the light you gonna get". Not always better. Just softer. It all depends on what you're trying to achieve. Softer often means "more pleasing", but it can also be boring if the shot demands more contrast and drama.

[@OttoJulian_]

Agreed! I was focused about getting softer and "more pleasing" light like you said, and under those circumstances it's better, but yeah, if someone is not looking for that effect then it's not gong to be better. Thanks

Hi Otto. Matt from Savage Flies sent me to your channel. I'm so glad he did. I started with a basic and inexpensive ring light and phone holder set up. The ring light recently broke so I'm trying to learn about lighting, particularly lighting on a budget. Thanks for the detailed and useful information.

[@OttoJulian_]

Hello Debora!! I'm also glad he pointed you to my channel! Too bad to hear about your broken ring light, I hope you can find a good replacement. I'm not a particular fan of ring lights but there is one that I wanted to review, but these LED panels are very good and sturdy. Thanks for watching !

[@truthunleashed5250]

What are the flaps on the neewer used for? I know that using the Godox you mount the box and use a honeycomb so that you only light the subject and not the background. Is this what the flaps are used for??? Thanks for your time.

[@OttoJulian_]

the barndoors? they are used to shape the light, but not as effective as the honeycomb grid in my opinion

This video was very helpful for me and this is why: Must of the videos I’ve watched present the unbox the light, speak about it, but don't show how the light looks in a video and when you said you were using one of those 660 light, I finally had the answer I was looking for. By the way, I use a godox sl60 in my videos too, but of course I’m a beginner in lightning. Thank you for thinking about giving a realistic example.

[@OttoJulian_]

Thank you for your comment, I'll be doing more light videos and I will take that feedback with me for those videos. The SL60 is a very good light, I still use it, not as my main anymore for talking head but plenty of other tasks

[@dimplechin1345]

Hi Otto Julian.. which light should I use if I am planning to do Broll aesthetic vlogs for cooking, self care etc

[@OttoJulian_]

hi, sorry for the late reply. Between these 2? The SL60 might be a better option, get a softbox too, otherwise the light will be a bit too hard

[@joseph-the-seventh]

I just bought the Neewer 660 for fill and background light, and the Godox VL150 for key light. These are my first video lights, excited to start using them!

[@OttoJulian_]

the VL is an excellent choice in my opinion, I have the SL 150 mark II and this new lineup from Godox is good!

[@yantimangunatmodjo535]

Thank you for the comparison Otto! I plan to make fitness and yoga videos in my living space with white walls. At times I will be having the window with white sheer curtains as a back light. I saw another KZbin video that indicated that the Neewer 660 doesn't blend well with natural light and perhaps resulting in a greenish tint. Does the Godox SL60 blend with natural light?

[@OttoJulian_]

If you are just going to blend it with natural light the SL60 might be a better option, but if you have the budget, I’d recommend to go with their bigger version, the SL150 II (there should be a video in my channel) or something with more power. The amount of area that you have to cover for fitness and yoga might not be ideal with these ones

[@RM.TokyoPhotographer]

probably im guessing that if you do alot of intricate work that require specific softboxes (octa/square/rectangle/or maybe parabolic) typical bowens mount Light are the best Sl60/SL100 etc while the light panels suffer from versatility of modifying the light...in most cases light panels do well in KZbin environment where u just place it at a specific location and have one foldable diffusion panel close to subject...I personally was using the SL60 no complaints but due to small size of room I am planning to switch over to the light panels and have a foldable diffusion to diffuse the light. it boils down to personal taste...also the battery option is better for some ppl like me since I only shoot video less than 30min.

[@OttoJulian_]

true, and well said. I agree that it comes down to personal preferences. I don't have a KZbin "studio" but I don't mind having my giant softbox sitting on a corner, but light panels can do so much as well.

[@Snow_hil]

Hello Which one is better for night outdoor shooting ??

[@OttoJulian_]

Hello Hilda. For my work style I prefer the big softbox, but it all comes down to convenience. If you think the godox is a better suit for you indoors then the same will apply for outdoors, BUT, the neewer is easier to carry around and can be powered with batteries as well.

[@Goldy-zw7fp]

As a photographer I like, and have 2 of the SL60Ws as part of my arsenal of lights. I like it because of the Bowen-S mount. tis gives me more flexibility with lighting options and creativity.

yeah, that's a huge factor for me as well

[@OttoJulian_]

hi, I haven't used any of those particular ones, but they seem to be very alike.

[@50450720]

Great review, but the battery option on the led panels make them more versatile for using in the field, away from a plug socket. Their size and weight is also useful when shooting in confined places, and they dont get hot like cob lights, so they are super quick to de-rig after a shoot. You can pick up a full set of 3 led lights and stands for a third of the cost of 1 aputure 120d.

[@OttoJulian_]

Excellent comment! I agree! 👍

[@50450720]

@Nothing But Love there's definitely a trade off to be done, but not everyone has the budget for high end gear, and if you manually white balance correctly the differences are very minimal. I have cob lights from godox (vl150's and ml60's) but I still reach for the cheap panels for speed of set up and for working in tight areas.

[@BurOnOz]

What do you think for Godox SL60II D and Bi?

[@OttoJulian_]

[@MikeB-sp6gp]

Thank you for yet another great video. Well produced, easy and pleasant to watch, and VERY well organized, informative and relevant. I have a question-- How do you get those gorgeous purples and blues in your backgrounds? I haven't seen them before. And, unlike other videos that use cool colors, the feel of your blue and purple lights is always warm. I'd love to see a video on how you get that color and feel, compared to other blue lighting schemes. Lastly (sorry for all the words), I'm actually in the process of trading my 660 bi-color for and Godox ml60bi. I'm planning to use the 660 as a hair light-- so talk about relevant! 2 things I'd love to learn about, if you're interested in requests-- 1) What light stand to get for the Godox with a softbox, and; 2) How to modify your light stand so you can tilt a 660 with a soft box downward. And thank you again. Really terrific videos.

[@OttoJulian_]

thank you Mike for your comment. I've been postponing a video where I talk about my background lights. I'll try to make it happen, hopefully before 2023 ends. Yeah the ML60 is a great light. I'm using a big softbox, so the stand that I have is one like this one: amzn.to/3frZkOx

Hello Ivan! I have a separate video for the Neewer where I show how to place the square softbox (pretty sure I did). Otherwise I'd have to make another video. This was more of a comparison and honestly one of my first videos on youtube ( didn't have much experience back then). I appreciate the feedback, this always makes me improve my review videos! Have a good one

[@fraenkiboii]

I just bought an SL60II-bi with the 90cm softbox and I currently have the neewer LED panels. I didn't consider the need for a new light stand. Could you recommend one for the combination SL60+QRP90?

[@OttoJulian_]

this is the one that I have for that combo that you are using amzn.to/3frZkOx

[@thomascalia1318]

Would you recommend the Neewer if you are filming about 7-10 feet away? Is the white light strong enough? I wouldn't be using the yellow light at all. I am looking for two panels.

[@OttoJulian_]

Hi Thomas! With 2 panels at that distance you might get away with it, depending what you are filming. I feel that I would still go with a COB light if you need strong lighting.

[@muhammadfirdaus3561]

What is COB light?

[@OttoJulian_]

Hi, its the technology that the SL60 has, meaning Chip on Board.

[@ScoobieDee]

Hi How much brighter is the Godox with soft box than the neewer?

[@OttoJulian_]

Hey Scoobie! How are you? On paper the difference in LUX per meter is not that much (Neewer:3360 vs Godox 4100) But I can feel a big difference in brightness, specially if you only use the white bulbs on the Neewer. With the Godox I can almost fill my living room with just that light and have a bright scene, with the neewer I think I would need at least 2 units to replicate the same kind of light. Softbox helps a lot, and it also will give you a softer light

[@OttoJulian_]

@@ScoobieDee I don't really have direct experience with that light, and the brand doesn't offer a lot of info on their website. I just took a look at B&H and it says that the lux is at 2080 at 1meter. On paper it's kinda odd that it would output less than the neewer, considering it has so many LED bulbs. I get the feeling that this light could be better than the neewer 660 but the Godox, having a chip on board kind of LED and paired with the softbox, will produce a better result. I upgraded from my SL60w to the SL150W mark II just because I feel that they give me a "better" kind of light than those panels, and I never looked back.

[@NormHamilton]

I'm curious about a comparison of light output between these two? Not in lumens or any technical jargon as the manufacturers tend to create their own results, but how they are in actual use. eg. Are they comparable in brightness at full power with no softbox?

[@OttoJulian_]

Hi Norm! I think alike, lumens and all that is not exactly real life usage lol. Ok on this video I used the neewer660 during the video. I uploaded a new video a few days ago, it's about the Godox, and I use it on me starting at like 40 seconds (as long as you don't see it in my hands, it's on the light stand. The camera settings are also shown,

[@OttoJulian_]

Btw, if you are looking for the one that has a better output, go for the godox, with a softbox if you need softer light

[@NormHamilton]

That's what I figured, Otto. Thanks.

[@dankelly]

What is this "denoise" you mention? Is it in your camera or audio recorder? Is it post production? What software? How do you use it?

Hi, most editing programs have it. I use Premiere Pro and on the audio options you can apply different audio features, one of them is the denoiser, which will drastically remove those unwanted sounds. Nobody has ever noticed when my refrigerator kicks in during my shots

hard to answer that, because it will depend on what you are filming, and what kind of lighting effect you are going after. 60 Watts might be enough and I would say that it could be the minimum but with that being said, and taking in consideration that lights are not so expensive nowadays, I would go with at least 100 watts. I feel that it's better to have extra power than not having enough at some point. Hope this is helpful.

Great review. Can you explain why you do not use the rectangular softbox for the Neewer? I have a smaller Neewer (the PT176s) and I use a small rectangular softbox. The one I have looks exactly like the one you held up. (Mine is called D.Fuser) What about it don't YOU like? Please share.

[@OttoJulian_]

Hello Andrew, thank you for watching the video. What I don't like about that particular softbox is that the design does not allow me to tilt the light. The size for the diffusing "quality" is rather low if I compare it to a regular diffuser that comes on a 5 in 1 reflector where the price is also lower, and that's why I haven't used this softbox except to show it on some KZbin videos. There is a version that solves the size issue and makes the light softer, I think the brand is Kamerar D-fuse..which gives you 23" on the front size instead of 16".

[@macdandy1972]

@@OttoJulian_ Thank you for your reply. My DFuse is in fact 16 inches in diameter.

it depends on what kind of fitness video, but you did mention "spread in the studio" so I am assuming that this is a larger area than a smaller one. the SL60 might be a good start with a softbox (not the small ones) but if you have the budget get something stronger, like the SL150 II or the Amaran 100d (200d even better!)

Hello Steve. It will alm depend in your budget and space. If you want to lower the cost I'd suggest to get 2 panels like the neewer 660. If budget allows it, I would definitely go with the bigger softbox and a COB LED light like the godox SL60 or the SL150 Mark II. if your wall is too close to you there are going to be unwanted shadows, those can be avoided by using honeygrids on your softbox, or placing yourself at a distance from the wall.

The other advantage of getting a COB is that you can indeed use it without the softbox for a stronger output. The LED panel could work fine but it will also depend on how much you want to light. I might be wrong but I'm supposing that you need to cover a large area when doing a fitness video. Oh something else, if you have a white ceiling you can also bounce the light up there. If you choose the panels get 2 to feel them out but a third might be needed. If you get the COB (AKA Godox SL60) you could prooobably get away with just one. But for example, when I do product photography I like having at least 2 light sources. I hope this helps.

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Thanks, a relaxing video, still unable to decide though lol

[@OttoJulian_]

Hi Vinnie!! Neewer 660 for Smaller room or tighter budget. Bigger room and no problem with budget to buy stuff like a heavier duty light stand and a nice softbox... go with the Godox

Which key light are you using in this video?

[@OttoJulian_]

I'm using a neewer 660 with a round diffuser. Hope this helps!

[@Dejanzarev]

I need help, I need a light for a very small room where I would paint food and various scenes for Stock on my desk. What do you recommend?

[@OttoJulian_]

Hi, if it is a small room and you can't fit a softbox then get the led panel (like the neewer 660)

[@Dejanzarev]

@@OttoJulian_ I saw that there is also a soft box for the neewer 660 which is much smaller than the godox, i will have to look in the store for godox that all dimensions have

[@OttoJulian_]

@@Dejanzarev yeah, if you look at my neewer 660 video towards the end I show the softbox that you can use with these panel LEDs. This is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6KafHqAjpyGfJo

[@OttoJulian_]

Hello Ian! you are welcome!!! So cool that you found it helpful!

[@lecinemadezero]

what about on large shot? is the led panel is strong enough?

[@OttoJulian_]

Hey Robert. The light is strong to light a small room, specially if you bounce the light on a white ceiling or wall. But for larger areas I wouldn't rely on it.

[@lecinemadezero]

@@OttoJulian_ so for large shot, Godox SL60W with softbox should be much better, right?

[@OttoJulian_]

@@lecinemadezero between these 2, yeah the godox will pack more punch. If you don't need soft light you can use the reflector and it amplifies the light. If you need more output I have a review on the Godox SL 150W. That one, is a beast!

[@Ira88881]

I just order two bi-color 660s and two RGB 480s. I’m a beginner, and cost was a big consideration, not to mention space. I’m going to use the 660s just to light a fairly large green screen (although not for full body, just wide)...so I didn’t order any soft boxes for that. However, I did get Neweer’s boxes for the 480s, which will be my key and fill lights. However, you can’t tilt these boxes DOWN on standard light stands. What is the accessory/attachment called that I need to do this? Does it have a proper name? Some kind of boom attachment? Thanks for your help.

[@OttoJulian_]

Hello Ira, there is an accessory for that but I was searching for it and I can't find it (not sure about the name either). If the RBGs that you bought are the new versions, they should have a separate hole on the light stand receptacle, it will allow you to place the panel on a horizontal mode and there should be more space for tilting with a softbox. I have a video on the Neewer 660 RGB and I show there what I am talking about

[@Ira88881]

@@OttoJulian_ Yep!!! My newer Neewer 480 RGBs just arrived, and they have that side hole! So I’m cool. I was mostly concerned about these for the soft boxes. Still curious about modifying the older 660s with just the barn doors. I used the other mounting holes on the light which gives you a LITTLE tilt, but hardly. Thanks for taking the time to reply! If you can think of the name/come across the part to really modify it, please let me know.

[@OttoJulian_]

@@Ira88881 enjoy the new lights! Yeah I'll let you know for sure!

@@OttoJulian_ It’s just like Christmas! I’m an old retired fart, and this is keeping me nice and busy. The barn doors are off the 480s, they’re mounted, one more beer and then... I power up and play with them and the app, then watch my favorite YT video on how to properly mount those damn soft boxes. Wife thinks I’m crazy, but what else is new!?

Why does no one actually show lights in use when they do these comparisons?

Yeah you are right. I was pretty new at KZbin when I made those videos. On this video the main light is a Neewer 660. Godox SL60 as a main light can be seen on my older videos like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqeYZ6WEqt2jbqM

[@OttoJulian_]

[@nanogonzalezdj3388]

Man, I am not with you in a few things: 1- You can not control natural light, but you can modify it for your purpose. 2- "The bigger the softbox, the better light you´re gonna get." I would say "the bigger the softbox, the softer light you´re gonna get" 3- You also can work with the Godox as a direct light. That´s exactly why this round reflector cap is placed at the front of the light. 4- Is no doubt that the wires are an issue and the NP batteries are more practical, but there is a solution, huge power banks. Is truth they are more expensive. They don´t pay any brand. Just my thoughts.

[@OttoJulian_]

Hey Nano! I agree with you, just that talking about light in general is a very extensive topic and is not easy to compress all that information while talking about 2 different lights in less than 10 mins. 1. We can modify natural light in many ways, but I was thinking more about the fact that continuous light will help with the right exposure as long as you need it. I've seen people shooting with natural light and how their exposure changes as the hours go by, and not everyone know how to fix that through the day. A few clouds in 30 mins is going to change the whole scene. This is a common mistake specially with KZbinrs. 2. Yeah, maybe I'm being subjective but softer for me is better, unless you are looking for a different effect. 4. I think I am too lazy, I can't imagine myself carrying huge power banks and the average consumer that would buy this kind of lights probably won't either. It kind of depends on everyone needs right? :) Thank you for pointing out all that, great feedback all around!

I never claimed to be a "professional", and about natural light is just an "intro" to the rest of the video, because not everyone knows about it. Sorry, this video was not intended for "pros" like you, but just for general users, anyway, a "pro" wouldn't be looking for the godox SL60, thanks for the comment anyway.
