What lights have you guys been using for your video projects??

[@DanielPeacocke]

120D, and the big ol sun dude. I need to get some of these tho! And some of those flexi LED panels!

[@The11thPower]

Zachariah Mayfield quasars right now, with LED panels. Nothing major, looking at these two now but I mainly choose affordable light setups.

[@Hectoralejandroguerrero]

My iPhone camera light

[@mattowens9439]

Mostly LED, I had no idea tubes like that existed!

[@infinitedesigns_io]

Legit review guys, great job! Appreciate the shoutout for RST Visions as well!

[@ZachMayfield]

Thank you dude, we had so much fun shooting it! And no doubt brother!

[@sxddsdddn7691]

This review was amazing guys!!

[@ZachMayfield]

Yo thank you so much! Such a blast working with these lights

[@NepheworldGamePlay]

Cool I need to check on these lights for my shoots

[@ZachMayfield]

Heck yeah do it! You'll be pleasantly surprised

[@Hectoralejandroguerrero]

IM OBSESSED

[@ZachMayfield]

Dude yeah they are wilddddd

[@jonfraserdop]

Glad people are finally talking about these lights! I have used them in a music video and they are fantastic! would you consider doing a more in depth video on the app? Thanks!

[@ZachMayfield]

Right? These things are crazy. Maybe I can get Astera to send me some stuff to make another vid 😬

[@DoubleOrNothing]

love the vids man, any recomendations on a cheap dslr light to start off with?

[@ZachMayfield]

Thank you homie! So I use the aputure tri 8 and it's actually really solid! Pair that with some cheap diffusion and you got yourself some gorgeous light!

[@dazai4688]

Hi I'm a stage lighting designer for theater,concert or some event . I want to ask which tubes are better for these kind of show ? I always use the DMX to control the light.

[@erikao2876]

Those are awesome lights!

[@ZachMayfield]

Right?? So much fun

[@neotshembhanichauke3421]

@zach did you color grade this video? i love the look

[@user2353]

keep moving brother

[@EhsanMajd]

great light man, I'm thinking to get it actually, i just start my channel for two month and i think it could help me to increase my lighting quality

[@ZachMayfield]

Well I definitely recommend it! Even if you just got 1 or 2 you can do so much with them.

[@AstralxProd]

Quick question, I'm thinking about getting the Digitalfoto P120 light tubes. They're 36mm and the Astera AX1's are about 40mm. Do you think this case would work with these tubes or would they be too thin to fit?

[@geoffheith]

AX1 vs the Titan...is the Titan worth double the price for the features?

[@AxTechs]

Do the ax1s have some sort of flicker effect, or am I tripping?

[@ChrisSchieritz]

All of the lights on the AsteraBox flash on for 5 seconds then off for 5 seconds until the box dies, that is it's only function, do you know what is wrong with it?

[@Daniel.Carrai]

I’ve been looking into both the AX1 and Titan tubes. In your opinion, are the titan tubes worth twice the price, or do you think it’s better to get twice as many tubes for the same price if I went AX1. Thanks so much for the help!

[@ZachMayfield]

Hey man! Personally I would just get more of the AX1's. I'm also just a poor boy tho. If money isn't a worry, the Titan's are really stinkin bright and overall easier to use. AX1's still rule tho.

[@adriandavidpayne]

Where can I see that Dayseeker video?

[@VideoTechDude]

Awesome vid

[@ZachMayfield]

Thank ya dude, it was very fun to make!

[@callmesahara]

I'm thinking of renting these, I need to mount it onto a wall do you recommend using heavy duty velcro?

[@ZachMayfield]

Yes for sure. It'll hold all day no problem!

[@JJKicks360]

If I get 2 astera ax1 could I just buy the $20 controller they sell to change colors and patterns or will I need to get the $400 box you showed?

[@ZachMayfield]

all you need to use your phone as a controller is the bluetooth astera box!

[@freelancealchemist1904]

Drooling till I heard the price. best go for the Quasar Science or the Yongnuo YN360

[@ZachMayfield]

Dude yeah. Kinda pricey but so sick

[@The11thPower]

As a matter of fact, I’ve seen these covers by a few youtubers over the last few weeks. The price point is too high, looks like an awesome package though.

[@TheGalacticWest]

The11thPower the rent is too damn high. But yes you could get 20 quasar tubes at that point and the gels to go with them.

[@evoezepeda]

nice!

[@The11thPower]

Zach is going to be a popping KZbind in a year. Possibly less, great great video!

[@ZachMayfield]

Hey I really appreciate that! I'm just gonna work my little tail off and make it happen!

[@collinausbury]

Dude, Zach, your videos are so good. A perfect blend of entertaining and informative. On behalf of all filmmakers out there, thank you.

[@marcoasqmartins]

1:27 deserves the like xD That shit made me laugh irl

[@ZachMayfield]

hahaha yess thank you!

[@Mightythunder0987]

I was dying lmao

[@bomche115]

Wow

[@birbsforlife]

For a second I was like “how do you know my sisters name? Oh wait umm yeah the light tube... BUT HOW DID YOU SAY IT RIGHT”

[@davidlongenecker9414]

Fav video on your channel so far 😂 now all I need is $4k to get a proper set of these haha

[@ZachMayfield]

Bro yeah they're pretty pricey. I'm definitely just thinking about snagging 1 or 2. They're just so dang portable so it's worth it for me.

[@davidlongenecker9414]

@@ZachMayfield especially because you do music videos.. I just do weddings so I don't see myself using them

[@xiaochickeno0o1]

can titan power by v mount ? just like quarsa science does ?

[@ZachMayfield]

I don't think so, just the internal battery. They last a long time

[@abecoulter8550]

rather than use the remote to control them for an entire day of lighting.... why not use DMX???

[@umayfilm697]

Hello su geçiriyormu

[@Superbustr]

Love the Astera tube lights. But me as a starting out film maker cannot afford to spend $5000.00 to buy one of their kits.

[@thomaswindfeld728]

This is so corny. I love it! :-D

[@ZachMayfield]

hehe thank ya

[@JohnJonesRocketCity]

Sub’d!

[@ZachMayfield]

Dude thank you!

[@ilyakostin5676]

Nooooo, the old photo was better!))) it matched the idea of filmmaking being fun))

[@andrewmullins5169]

That’s a lot of money in that case 😯

[@ZachMayfield]

For reeeeeeeaaaal. Luckily we can rent hahaha

[@IsaiahMalik_]

So they’re better than Quasars ?

[@ZachMayfield]

Personally I don't have a ton of experience with Quasars. The Asteras are just so dang feature rich and make set life VERY simple, which is vital.

[@IsaiahMalik_]

@@ZachMayfield AGREED !!

[@TheGalacticWest]

That’s a lot of money for a single light

[@ZachMayfield]

For sure man. There's other affordable options for sure, these babies are super pro tho

[@xavpil2]

$4000 right? :-)

[@ZachMayfield]

It’s real pricey for the full set, but you can either buy solo tubes or rent out the set to make money back!
