It is the only video that showed the brightness difference. I was almost ready to buy Amaran, but half the power is too little. I guess i will go for Nanlite this time.

Yes it's really brighter than Aputure, but you can see at 5600k shot that nanlite has a tint shift on the skin tones and Aputure hasn't. So you can't use it like a key light, or you need to fix it on post

@filmowaniezprofitem 10 ай бұрын

@@AbsoluteAnatoliiNanlite has green/magenta controls so i can just fix it on set. Also, i don't realy use tubes as key light. It is quite unpractical for that.

08:45 it is huge difference between Nanlite Pavotube II 30X and Amaran PT4c. Can we surely say that the same difference will be between Pavotube II 15C vs Amaran PT2c(Nanlite 15c will be winner)?

@animusvisual Ай бұрын

id imagine at lower power the difference will be slightly less but I think yes nanlite will still be a bit brighter.

Thanks for your very intensive review :-) I´m planing a set with many tubes. so my question is if the APP has been approved to have a correct sync in pixel mode. Wuld be great if anybody who reads this coud give an answer (today is 24-02-06)

@Dano-Media Жыл бұрын

This seems to be a trend with Aputure VS Nanlite gear, at least from what I've seen. Nanlite always seems to have more outputs than their direct Aputure counter parts, while Aputure's selling point is the eco system or other smaller holes that Nanlite doesn't fill. I'd be happy with either of those lights, thanks for the review!

@animusvisual Жыл бұрын

Agreed! Thinking about it that applies to almost every light i can think of in direct comparison. I own just about one of each aputure light and a good bit of equivalent nanlite fixtures. Ive been impressed with the progess in the nanlite app and the fact it works with the nanlux lights too. End of day they both perform well and comes down to what operators find most important in a product.

@BeauRosario Жыл бұрын

I probably won't do any sort of in depth review, but I just got the Lume Cube XL, and I have a friend's Nanlites for comparison. Just in a quick side-by-side, I can tell the Lume Cube is slightly brighter (it's close, but my light meter says so as well), the colors are rich, and the profile has slimmer "end caps" than the Nanlites do. Pretty similar in all other areas- metal housing, various thread points, runs for 288min on half power, 96min on full power.

@jtophotography 10 ай бұрын

As I understand, the Lume Cube XL can only show one color at a time and should be compared to Nanlite PavoTube II 30C instead of 30X.

Just Checked em out. So these are not in he same category as the ones im reviewing. These tube lights are specifically for filmmaking and photo/video. The ones you mentioned are more ambient/room lights, which require plug in power and may not be suitable for filmming (could have flicker or incorrect color spectrum) etc@@marksjourneytothephilippin9574

@DavidFaxon Жыл бұрын

I purchased a pavotube, it was defective with the front diffusion cover sliding back and forth. The second was defective with the LED's flickering on max brightness. The third was defective as it wouldn't turn on unless plugged in. 3 defective units makes me not want another, but half the power is also a tough break. Have you had any practice with Titans? Obviously way more expensive. Thanks!

@animusvisual Жыл бұрын

Hey man thats really rough luck. I got a 4 ft set and a 2 ft set and neither had issues. I dont blame ya. I have used titans on a good few productions, theyre solid and lighter than the pavotuves but i had issues with wireless control and keeping settings if discconected which wad annoying, but they are industry standard so these are minor complaints. For the price though i chose to deal with the pavos inconveniences

Why compare the pavotubes to the pixel tubes instead of the comparable T4C? (Yours was the PT4C?)

@animusvisual Ай бұрын

I disagree. The t4cs do not have an internal battery and need to have a battery screwed on and plugged in. These are more in line with Pavos Imo

What do you think of the Kupo backlight base stand for $28.95 ? Who makes stronger base stand ? Nanlite amaran astera godox aputure ? The amaran base stand that comes with the pt4c is not too bad

@animusvisual Ай бұрын

good questions. Kupo makes great stuff and this looks solid but may have a bit of tilt since the spigot is higher up than say a mini tripod. I broke my first amaran mini tripod and got a replacement from amaran that was better. The ronin mini tripods too are built really well.

@animusvisual Ай бұрын

@creativegreatsvisuals you'd have to add a spigot to that anyway so save your money. the ronin tripod grip will work. The only thing is the threads on the tube are 3/8 inch and the ronin tripod grip are 1/4 so you need to have the adapters. I believe the tube came with them. You can leave it inserted in the 3/8 thread of the tube

With amaran pt4c What do you think about the rainbow effect in camera ? I can’t see the rainbow? It looks one solid color and set on low

@animusvisual Ай бұрын

Thats going to be on the exposure. Make sure you have the light at the lowest setting but more importantly make sure your camera isnt on auto because likely it will overexpose the light. The environment is in will make a difference on how you expose the shot. Likely need to expose darker to see the effect in camera but need more light in your environment to make up.

@JitDawgBruhDang Жыл бұрын

I just got my Amaran tubes and I think that in real shooting scenarios, they will be bright enough. At iso 400, 60fps, T3 one tube could be a key light. Output is important, but this functions more as a fill and accent/effect light. Plus the app makes usage extreme efficient

@animusvisual Жыл бұрын

I don't disagree, I love aputure stuff and the app control is great, but the facts are the facts. The pavos are still brighter, you can always dim down but can push past a certain point. There's been times when we need a rim or hair in a room with a daylight window and the extra punch just comes in handy. The nanlink app is still capable just a bit clunkier to use. The build quality is also quite different. When you consider the price being so similar, its kind of hard to justify. All that said, its all preference I'm just showing the differences objectively and why id prefer one over the other.

@JitDawgBruhDang Жыл бұрын

@@animusvisual If output is what you’re after, PT4c not the light for you. Speed is the more important and with every other light i have being from aputure makes Sidus link the best choice. The brightness difference in CCT is big, but in RGB it is much closer which is how I’d use it

The colors on the Amaran look a lot better and true, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing it that way because the intensities are different.

@animusvisual Жыл бұрын

I think exposure probably affects the perception. The darker colors look more saturated. I think dropping nanlite shots exposure in post could yield a similar result.
