GVM SD300B Pro LED Light Review

[@KevinDeal]

Do you have a GVM LED light? How are you liking it? Tell me about it in the comments.

Kevin, I love your videos, watched most of the Canon-ones and also now this one and also the one with Neewer MS60C. Although this light has issues: accuracy in temperature settings are bad on this light. Set as 5600K, going down to 10-15% of the power, the light outputs around 6400K, not 5600K anymore. Far off the original 5600K when intensity is lowered.

Interesting observation. I haven't noticed it on mine, but maybe I need to pay closer attention to it.

@@KevinDeal Well, Wes Perry measured it to the difference of 900K. I have 700K on mine. Take a look at the video of I Am Rick Bonilla on this light. He compares it to Forza (output performance) and goes from 25% to 100%. You can just see the temperature go from 6??? to closer to 5600K. It is just clear, even if he didn't measured it. Well, some say, it is just remake the white balance, but do it every time you increase/decrease the intensity...well, it is a pain.... Problem is there is no way to trust the light settings.

@@wpse Fair point. We does good work, so I trust his results.

@@KevinDeal Yes, he does. Problem is that few reviewer just talked about the accuracy, but don't measured if the gear is accurate - well the meter are damn expensive. Wes opened my eyes, I checked by just testing it by lookin at it carefulle, then borrowed a CCT meter and there go you. Crap light when it come to accuracy of the color settings. GVM do know it I think. They don't respond to emails about it.
