Julia, awesome RC60 lighting setup! Thanks for your support, we will continue to create good products!👍👍

[@Chrsly]

How long will one of these lights last at 100% power on a full battery?

[@SmallRigGlobal]

Battery life of 45 minutes at maximum power and 75 minutes in ECO mode.@@Chrsly

[@helennasantoslevy]

@smallrigglobal where can we buy the small soft box as well? I can’t find them on your site

[@ivan_lomeli]

Where can i buy in Mexico?

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you for the support too SmallRig, always looking forward to what you create next 🙌

[@Jinsengg]

That's a nice overview, you really showcased why and how it was different. The fact that you also showcased different ways to utilize the light outdoors on a gloomy day makes it helpful.

[@oliverlison]

What a beautiful idea. In the old days people brought reflectors along even at cloudy days to lift shadows or darken other areas of the subject.

[@ChayceItLikeItsHot]

This video was so helpful! I’m a continuous lighting newbie because I mostly shoot outdoors & only get to play around with different lights when I occasionally shoot in a studio. This definitely made me feel super inspired to get creative with different lighting solutions outside!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! I'm planning on using these lights again for some other photoshoots I'm planning so I will have some more examples to share soon too.

[@RicoForney]

Im a beginner photography and your videos are incredibly helpful! Do you ever do flash photography and if so could you make a tutorial video?

[@turbodave231]

I love your videos! You have such a nice way of presenting your subjects and I love your accent! I learn something from each of your videos I watch. You make a GREAT Photography Instructor!

[@downlink_x]

I‘m also thinking about buying a similar light setup and now I’m sure I’ll buy one. Thanks for the example pictures!

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful!

[@sammiedog4]

Never seen a video with these fill in lights. Placing some orders shortly. I love your NY accent. It's there!!

[@lindsaygiberson7752]

Fantastic video! Thank you! ❤

[@frankc.9853]

Great job! This is your prettiest model yet, wish I could meet her! 🤣

[@ChrisAbad]

Thanks for reviewing this light Julia! May I ask where you purchased the portable light stand you have attached to the RC 60B light?

[@charliejg]

Really nicely done overview and demonstration of the use of this product. And, a nice tip for the use of constant lighting. Have a rockin' day! I'm jealous...you guys are heading into summer and we're sitting here in the NE USA dreading winter! LOL!! Thanks again!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much! Ahh I am SO excited for the warmer weather coming up now, I was jealous seeing the rest of the world going through summer earlier in the year lol

[@DigiDudeMI]

Nice! Very helpful. Love your channel.

[@louiscyphre2555]

absolute mega abo

[@petermcginty3636]

Thanks Julia. I think that I would prefer to use continuous lighting, now. The cost of these lights seems to be quite reasonable as well. Great video. 🎉

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the video!

[@just_eirik]

The 3rd photo at 7:50 looks so good!

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much!

[@markguerin6071]

I love the portability and weight of the lights. I am wondering about having more options when it comes to softboxes and maybe an adadpter to make the standard Bowens mount an option for people that already have softboxes from other brands.

[@kindaFunkyNGL]

Maybe printing an adapter is the way to go. A PLA print should be fairly dependable as a portable softbox shouldn't be too heavy.

[@ahmedhussein2053]

wow ...Really, I'm so happy! this video is very useful, thank you very much talented one.😊❤

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

[@livejames9374]

Thanks for the helpful tips, Julia.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@checkter-chazz9856]

i love you and i love your work 🥰🥰🥰

[@arjbasia280]

❤❤❤

[@stevehaqa]

The mini soft box does not come with this unit. Where can I find the mini soft box to go with it?

[@juliatrotti]

No, it's seperate. It's called the RA-D30 mini Parabolic Softbox and it's coming soon

[@stevehaqa]

thank you@@juliatrotti

[@oguzT800]

Thanks for this beautiful video. This gave me idea to take portable light with me for my portrait shootings. Do you prefer Zhiyun or Smallrig? Zhiyun has recently released Molus series portable lights.

[@mr.islam_sifat]

Why you are so cute! I always came here just to see your beautiful smile.... Love u ❤

[@marie-annegaudreault7654]

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing those tips. So helpful. Do they work for inside shooting as well? Also what's the difference in the results between those and ice lights?

[@AshBashSneakers]

Never get tired of hearing you say ‘phodos’

[@SamSam-lv7vu]

I really want to know about the remote and timer setting for self portrait

[@helennasantoslevy]

Great video! I’d love to know where you got the mini soft box as well? They don’t seem to have any on their site.

[@annaozkan4133]

just wondring if the remote control is for lights or for you taking a photo? and what type is it =)

[@ProEditingLooks]

❤️

[@Munkikatze1]

What a great and useful video!!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@Sd-yo1vn]

Can you please do a review on Sony a9 series ??

[@mauriziopepe5016]

obviously they can only be used outdoors if there is no sun or after sunset, otherwise they can't compensate for the sunlight like you would with a flash, right?

[@peacenluv2411]

❤ Superb

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@jaipalreddy4894]

Julia pls suggest me a prime & zoom for a7iv in dubget and without compromising quality for portraits and nature photos.

[@shawnfoodfever]

thanks for great sharing 😍😍

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks for watching!

[@lizzzzzz100]

Where did you get your camera bag?

[@ryzenbiel4145]

wow

[@julianmclean3869]

Many thanks for sharing Julia; have you done a video on using a Flash during the day?

[@juliatrotti]

Cheers for watching! I don't have any videos using flash outdoors, only indoors - my Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GMII video, Tokina 100mm macro and Tamron 18-300mm APSC lens reviews in case you wanted to watch those.

[@julianmclean3869]

Thank You; does using the flash (instead of specific lighting) make a difference in cloudy conditions? @@juliatrotti Ps, I am mainly shooting static cars!

[@jacky2152]

Can we get a video on how to use a mix of speedlite and constant LEDs?

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah, I want to make more videos in the future with outdoor lighting and I have this on my list!

[@lifewithtris_]

Can you send a link to your video one

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

Nice video but you can do that with luminar Neo with no lights ❤❤❤

[@Chrsly]

can you? How?

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

@@Chrsly just go in luminar neo and click on face, and will be there the option, you will sorprise

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

The price since great for what it does

[@eliasvaldes4596]

What sony camara do you use and what lent

[@juliatrotti]

I was using the A7IV and GM 35mm f1.4 - I had it written in the video :)

[@haleyhess117]

How do you take self portraits with Sony cameras?

[@juliatrotti]

I have my phone connected to it which is on the floor so I can see what I'm shooting. You can either use your phone to take photos, otherwise I have the Sony bluetooth remote control that I was using to press the shutter. I find it's easier to hide the remote than it is a phone!

[@SUPERSTARSSTYLE1YOUTUBE]

3 lights cool but i like change locations

[@stkuj]

Do you know if that's a Bowens mount? It looks smaller...

[@MartinWongPhoto]

it's in the video

[@juliatrotti]

It's not, its a smaller version, I have the comparison in the video :)

[@nixone1941]

Where to buy those tripods for cob light?

[@juliatrotti]

Unfortunately I haven't seen them available in years, I bought them almost a decade ago!

[@wanneske1969]

I guess a flash would last longer. Don't the batteries run out on an entire wedding day ?

[@dexterbulalacao3751]

I have the same camera bag. Incase camera bag ❤❤❤

[@juliatrotti]

It's such a good bag! I've been using it for years and still haven't come across a bag to replace it

[@dexterbulalacao3751]

@@juliatrotti same here. I’ve been using it for 6years now on my landscape adventures 👍

👍♥️👍 📸👩🏻

[@mohammadalanezi176]

I love ur work ♥️are you living in Sydney

[@ahmedhk9028]

Beautiful Dress ❤

[@AD-by8wx]

The light is still flat 🤷

[@iamtesting3824]

To summarise, Throw more cash and buy some lighting equipments

[@specialized41]

Too small, only 60 Watts.? 😢

[@_cjmccullough]

Or you could just turn around to the direction of the sunlight through the clouds. You should be able to find the direction by holding up your hand and seeing which direction the natural light is coming from.

[@juliatrotti]

If I turn around, I have houses in the background. I find that even if you do face a different direction, you will still have some shadows underneath the eyebrows and the eyes don't stand out as much in glare-y weather. I really love using natural light, but it just doesn't always work.

[@Lleah864]

You are so freaking beautiful J, ❤

[@ahmedhk9028]

You are beautiful more than any Model ❤
