This feels like a bit of a Physics lesson, from "Dr Potato Jet", on Light Intensity. Great stuff, I so needed this.

[@TheFeelButton]

You make these complicated topics like lighting far more entertaining to learn. Remote control has to be the coolest feature for ease of use. Thanks Tater!

[@CEmanified]

There are some great tips in this video. I used to have trouble waking up in the morning but ever since I set my 3 aputure 120d's to bounce off the ceiling I haven't had any trouble!

[@Prahatech]

You explain things really well. You break down the complex using understandable examples. Plus your sense of humor makes your video entertaining and captivates your audience. Kudos, Great job.

[@robertnees9781]

🥔✈️ + 💡 = 🥵 Potato Jet is so LIT in this vid, he is now a BAKED POTATO

[@antvium]

You made understanding, video making and light/sound science so simple; I love it!

[@FriedFx]

I've got 2 Aputure HR672C LED panels for work. The color temp can be adjusted which is perfect for my situation. I film industrial laser machinery indoors and most of the overhead lighting is different in different parts of the facility. It also has a wireless remote which is the most beneficial thing ever. Speeds up a shoot. I shoot on the EOS-R. Awesome camera. Got it because the competition in its price range lacks a swivel screen.

[@daverizz]

Yo. That fall-off distance example with your studio set-up was great. Can totally see that curve and how it relates to you vs. your background. That was really helpful.

[@SeanJohnDyerFilms]

Such great content man! Got a 120d II recently and now impatiently waiting for my 300d II on back order.

[@keithdennis5085]

'Love your channel; and this is another good discussion of the 300D. I wish I could remember the name of a book on cinematic lighting that I read in the early 1980's. Anyway, one of the directors of photography, mentioned in that book, said that he preferred using lights that needed to be diffused using 3/4-inch plywood. His point was that, with more powerful lights, a cinematographer has more ways to shape the light to whatever is required. You did a great job in showing the many ways a light with more power can be used for good effect. Thanks so much!

[@chumcool]

This is so far out of almost twenty videos, the first one where it is being tested outdoors. Thank you

[@JeremyKruis]

Love the light curve you showed us! Helpful!

[@noahsduck4109]

2:47 and that's why I wake up and watch ur videos with my phone brightness on ful!

[@VistarCreative]

I thought I knew almost everything but then I learn something from almost every one of your uploads. Thanks for putting me in my place.

[@shaneconnelly8932]

Great video. I'm glad you covered the reason why I'm holding out for the Gold Mount release! I've always had issues with V-mounts, especially on the Phantom Flex 4K.

[@HuntressMedia]

Thanks for your informative video! You really have a "gift for gab", never at a loss for words. You have an endearing, humorous quality. Even though it seems like you're not serious, it appears to be that it's just the way you talk. You really have a lot of knowledge and experience and it's great you're so willing to share it. Thanks!!

[@tomdchi12]

Most household circuits in the US/Canada are 15A, so you're often safe plugging 1,200, maybe 1,400 watts of load into that circuit assuming nothing else is on that circuit. (15 Amps times 115 volts equals 1,725 watts minus some safety factor.) If you check the breaker panel, find a 20A circuit, trace to which receptacles are on that circuit and confirm that there is nothing else running on that circuit, then you could safe-ish-ly run about 2,000 watts of load on that circuit.

[@614Lyfe]

Just picked up the 120d ii. Might have to get the 300d ii now

[@isaaccarlton]

Fresh potato content! This was so helpful, thank you :)

[@manilamartin1001]

As opposed to baked or mashed

[@zachgrall6543]

Wow! That lantern ball really lights UP. the place 🏠 🎈🎈🎈

[@rinusworldzm]

LOVING THE LIGHTING VIEWS BRO. I'm taking a risk by starting out with just diffusers and color backgrounds. I mainly use natural lighting in my videos so I want to work with no artificial lights first then i can start on my lighting needs once I need to add some gear.

[@wergraphy4220]

This light is brighter than my future... :(

[@bhavanirohith1030]

also expensive than my future lol

[@KeithSipmann]

Really enjoying your videos Potato. Great content and I'm always learning, so thank you!

[@Leonytis]

My online film school.. Love it!! Cheers mate!!

[@bruliostories6886]

Thanks for the video PJ! Nice to see a product review that also sheds light (lol) on the bigger picture - like technical info and usage tips that apply to many lights. Keep it up!

[@KahyohBe]

Potato Jet, has done it again Great review.... I came back here to re-watch this review becuz I ordered this light and I wanted to make sure its still worth buying today

[@JacobCarlson]

"Sourcey" is my new favorite lighting term.

[@FissionChips1983]

Thanks for the Aputure science. I'm making a note here, Huge Success!

[@sergiofilmmaker94]

The video I was waiting for! Time to order mine!

[@DavidJReidOFFICIAL]

[@ChrisRollins]

Aputure continues to impress me!

[@SamuelRiveraFilms]

Another solid video. I’ve learned so much from you it’s ridiculous.

[@Kidbanx]

[@Errorcode95]

"the flip gets switched" -potato jet 2019

[@GrayPeakStudios]

I like it, im gonna get this and start playing with it :D Awesome review

[@reidsmith4633]

You light up my world like nobody else ...

[@theoryis4236]

U are a life saver. Thank u for info. Idk how imma rent this on a no budget short film but the info was priceless. Thanx again

[@A2KMedia]

hey man! thanks for great video! we are setting up our own video and had struggled with background being too lit up from our main light! Will try to move the light even closer to me and turn it down a bit. Is there anything else you would recommend to help? I really want to get that contrast going.

[@J.Lulo_]

Great 👍 video love the all the info.

[@simonelewis8276]

2:05 lux + inverse square law explained very well!

[@konradnoises]

Could you make a video about all the “keywords” used on set? Just like the one you mentioned about saying “strike” for lights. I bet you have many of those studio and production words to tell us! Great content

[@brianhaughtposts]

Lol, 1:25, "Flip gets switched." Great video, super informative...keep it up.

[@wrightway11]

Great video!

[@Phatboy414]

I was watching @Ycimaging and glanced over and seen your thumbnail for this video. I don't think i've ever laughed so hard at a Thumbnail! lol Genius absolutely genius! Great Job @potato jet

[@blagovestzaimov3455]

this was one of the best explanation of inverse square law.

[@IskanderVFX]

this video was lit!

[@RyanRaake]

Potato jets waiting for the day he hits 1 million subs so he doesn't have to use the paparazzi effect anymore...😂😂😂

[@PaulusPHM]

An other 'Master Class' , Potato gets friend in his own light.. cool.

[@justinpascualpedrosa6169]

1:24 "The flip gets switched" or was it supposed to be "The switch gets flipped"? 🤔 Hahahaha

[@itsaaronmiller]

Justin Pedrosa I noticed the same thing haha. I know I mess words up like this all the time tho

[@TheNefastor]

He switched the flip.

[@jaydivina533]

As a Flip I approve the switch. 🤓

[@CamilleSnow]

Justin Pedrosa I said the same thing! 😂😂😂😂

[@hortiz305]

he needs to lay off the coffee

[@kris4637]

Dude your videos are awesome! much love from INDIA.

[@jaydivina533]

I was going to ask then I heard "It feels like the sun". Confirmed it runs hot. Another great Potato vid. Thanks Gene and Kari.

[@dailyloops1203]

attractive&outlandish..

[@tusslemania]

i'll for sure be yelling 'striking!' every time i touch a light fixture from now on

[@yourablob]

Hey, your arms looking a lot better :) Hope your recovery is going well

[@GauravPassiTV]

I like how you set the reflector UP to bounce the light. Also, your subscriber count it UP. Congratulations! (You see what I did there!) I'm sure this comment will be UP in the next video. 😜

[@supa76]

Must buy more lights!!!! Ahhhh

[@akid35]

Thanks Gene. You inspired me & i learned me so many thinks from you since the 'Pot Stabillizer' :p

[@casjphotography9428]

Love your videos. Makes sense to dummies like me.

[@Vatolicious]

Would love more light videos.

[@netnael.m]

You are the best 👍👍👍👍

[@sijilo]

Potato can power up an 🌞 all we need

[@ZariunM]

I had seen the ad from this light and I think what is when you made a video about this. And here we go

[@AllenWatts]

Hands down my favorite thumbnail. I laugh out loud every time I see it

[@SatishKatakam]

One of the best reviews I have seen. Thank you. Have you done a review of Sony FX3?

[@videographersurvival]

Light is a king

[@DogwoodMedia]

New sub bruh. Funny and informative.

[@XxLogo]

Ahhh, just what I needed. A physics lesson from a Potato. My life has peaked
