Hands down the best trailer yet to be made.

[@evansmcgrath]

how are you mounting those softboxes to the stands with the flex light

[@Jsfilmz]

What softbox is that?

[@vandall1981]

Hi thanks for this review. What brand is that very large softbox that a flex can fit into?

[@WestcottLighting]

Peter, as you probably know their are softboxes made for the Flex www.fjwestcott.com/shop/lighting/led/flex but with a much smaller framework than the one in the video. The Flex however is often mounted within the larger boxes www.fjwestcott.com/shop/light-modifiers/pro-softboxes due to its light weight and ability to easily be mounted just about anywhere.

[@vandall1981]

F.J. Westcott Yeah, the ones made for the flex are ok. The distance between the diffusion and the light is only about 5 inches. I'm looking for something that has a much bigger distance.

I saw a greenish/grey colour cast on her face and wall, not sure it was from the light or post colour grading, also the light was very, very dim for video. Maybe suitable for hospital scene, not sure it is good for a sunrise.

[@vandall1981]

Also what brand is that china ball rig?

[@WestcottLighting]

Good video! (background music sounds like nail gun being constantly fired which is distracting at best)

[@CharlieSill62VO]

Sunrise...hmmm...just a bit too cool for a sunrise-I would have slapped a warm gel on it. Love that #Flexlight

[@Jsfilmz]

+Charlie Sill do you know how he mounted the softbox to the cstand without a speedring?

[@CharlieSill62VO]

Jsfilmz No I don't come to think of it.

Good light and very, very expensive...
