Quasar Science Double Rainbow & Rainbow 2 Hands On Review

[@zhiyingdi3720]

Thank you for this video!👍🏻 Weird thing is that I got a 4' Double Rainbow unit a while ago but had spotted some serious problems with its abnormally weak blue channel in RGB mode, which caused -- 1) its pure blue looking a lot more violet than any other RGB fixture's pure blue (including Quasar Science's own original rainbow line) 2) its cyan preset looking far more bluish-green than greenish-blue (or something in the middle) since the light's green channel is so much stronger than its blue channel (more than 3 stops brighter), which wasn't a problem with the original Quasar rainbow tube's cyan preset. 3) very noticeably ungradual stepping in its overall brightness (or even flicker-like) when displaying rainbow pixel effect in 48 pixel groups (as opposed to my other pixel tube fixtures' rainbow effect that can transition into/out from blue a lot more smoothly), although the issue is slightly less visible after lowering the number of its pixel groups. 4) just the nearly unusable level of dimness in its blue channel in general, cuz I don't see a point in using this "100w" tube for blue light when it can be almost overpowered by two 5w Aputure MC's or easily overpowered by one 40w Aputure T4c tube's blue light. I first thought that I simply got a faulty unit, but after spotting the exact same problems in the subsequent two replacement units from Quasar Science as well as in the demo unit at my local film gear retailer I've come to believe that it's actually a common problem with this whole product line, despite how perfect every reviewer I've seen on KZbin claims it to be. So I'm just wondering if you happen to also experience the same issues with your units or if you think I'm just looking at it wrong?🤔🤗

Thoughts on 2 sets of the 2ft double rainbows vs 2 of the 4 ft double rainbows?

How do you power lights with a battery?

[@UpHillCinema]

You can use any batter that has had a D-tap out and connect it to the dc input of the light. Or any batter that had a dc out.

@@UpHillCinema that's not a flush option like a nanlite which is not as good quality as quasars but close to it and more convenient

[@UpHillCinema]

@@creativegreats6924 The benefit of the quasars and having an external battery is you can swap them out. Nanlites are dead in an hour and 1/2 at 100% output.

[@creativegreats6924]

@@UpHillCinema I'm aware of that. But the $199 each batteries are harder to deal with on set and huge .

2 feet and 4 feet on both the double and single rainbow. The watts for the double are 50 and 100, and 25 and 50 for the single.
