I bought the vl300 less than a year ago and have had to take it in for servicing twice after light use. I asked the guys at the store I bought it from and they said they’ve had a few people have issues with that light. The light is awesome when it works, and is probably great for at home use, but when I’m shooting a video with clients and actors etc I can’t afford to have an unreliable light. Wish I had gone with aputure.

[@CinemaSteve]

To anyone looking at the VL lights, get them!!! I’ve been using Aputure lights for years now and we just bought a 300D II for our main key light. We wanted a 120D II but decided to use that money on other things like lenses so I got us a Godox VL150 as our fill/hair light. It’s awesome. It absolutely competes with the 120D II (which I’ve used extensively as well as the 300D) in build, size, power, and quality. The light does look a touch cooler and more magenta from what I’ve seen, but honestly I don’t think you’ll notice unless you’re doing a side by side with a 120D or 300D. That’s the only way I really noticed the difference in color cast. If you don’t have the budget for an Aputure light, get the Godox. You won’t be disappointed. We’ve actually started only using the 300D for our bigger more formal shoots, and we take the VL150 on the road because the light is just so much more compact and it still has great color.

[@mcgreevs24]

“Hey I’m Tommy” cracked me up. Thanks for this awesome review, Gerald!

[@itsjantore]

That hole for umbrellas is genius actually. Umbrellas are cheap and take up basically no space, so a fantastic alternative to softboxes. I have used the SL200 for a year soon, and I have been really pleased with it, no fan noise to complain of. Nice to see improvements have been made anyways.

[@certifiedinsomnia7949]

I own both the Aputure 300D mk II and the Godox VL300. To be honest, the bag that comes with the Aputure does feel premium. Other than that, I think the set up time of both are similar and the output light are both great. Your review helped me on buying the Godox instead of getting a second Aputure.

[@kolecava]

I think having multiple Aputures for a set is just so much better. The APP and reliability on their own is worth the premium.

Just found these lights at a local retailer yesterday and was blown away by the specs on paper, but I couldn't find any trustworthy reviews of them. Well, 24 hours later Gerald comes to the rescue! Thanks! Tried out the 300D II a couple of months ago, and while being a beautifully constructed light, it's not worth the money for me.

There is a clear colour difference between the Godox and the Aputure lights (Skin tones primarily). I am not sure whether they are match-able or if it is so so simple as a kelvin adjustment. If anybody would be able to answer (having tried both) that would be amazing. Great comparison by the way. Daniel

Discovered you through your recent studio tours of other notable KZbinrs and happy to say that this is the video that made me subscribe to your channel. This video was highly informative. I'm just getting into the consideration phase of starting a youtube channel and like knowing that there are alternatives to Aputure lights is a critical piece of info. Thanks so much for your thoroughness in your reviews.

Am I the only one who felt Aputure has tendency to green tint whereas Godox has more pink tint? You mentioned at 3:37 "CRI isn't everything" - that's true! I even thought Godox has more natural skin tones than Aputure in comparison.

[@Hexspa]

I think these VL lights are more neutral than the SL. The latter was definitely magenta-tinted and the 120d looked a tad green.

[@DaveMajor]

I am about to upgrade from sl60 to vl150 and one of the main reason is the magenta tint to everything. Hoping the vl will be a tad more neutral

[@Hexspa]

@@DaveMajor Let me know because I want one!

[@DaveMajor]

​@@Hexspa hey, I just got back to my studio and did a v quick side by side test on the vl150 and the sl60 i set both to 100% and then adjusted the camera exposure settings. (with 90cm softbox FYI) The vl150 I had to shoot at iso 100 and f4 to get it exposed properly (middle grey 41 IRE) with the sl60 I had to change to 2.5 to get it exposed correctly again There is 'less' of a magenta hue to the vl150 but I didn't properly WB. If I took care and got it dialled I think it would defo reproduce skin tones more accurately. I bought the light from Amazon and had a discount voucher of 6% so got it for £350 But it came with barn doors, coloured gels and 4 colour cards. So now the SL60 can be used with those for more interesting ambient lighting and hair lights etc while saving the vl150 for my key light. If you can afford it and get it with some of the added extras then I think it's a great buy (the other option was a gvm motorised slider but glad I went with this instead) especially if you have an sl60 already.

[@Hexspa]

@@DaveMajor Far out. Didn't know you played drums, that's cool. Have you used the VL in a video yet? I don't have the SL, just some Lusana Studio ones from eBay. I use the xrite video passport to help with color.

Hey Gerald, great video! Any possibility (if you still have the lights) of testing the aputure fresnel 2 with the Godox lights? Thanks!

[@ubokakpan]

I have a SL60W Godox and after watching a few YT reviews I practically took my ear one inch away from the light to find these hell of noisy fans. They simply do not exist in mine. To be fair, maybe I have a more recent production (I bought mine less than a year ago). I heard somewhere that Godox probably went in and replaced the fans in later productions, as a response to the reviews. Just no need for announcements. Mine is as quiet as whatever you can think of. But these new ones, I sure will add, simply for the battery power possibility and the extra features. Gerald didn't mention though if the VL series has those Aputure preset light effects. Not sure when I will use them, but it's nice to know they exist. I didn't start this vain life. Awesome review and information.

[@richarddzisiewski7197]

On the strength of your review, I just recieved my new VL150 to supplement my 120d ii and can't fault the light it produces. Yes, the cables that come with it are a little on the cheap side but the actual light itself, the yoke etc are superb !

[@armacanqui]

Love the content as always! Gerald: was it just me or is there a magenta shift in the godox lights? Would one be able to match these lights (Aputure and Godox) in the same shot without using gels? Asking for a friend that already has an Aputure 120d mkII and is heavily considering getting a VL150 too... 🧐

[@timbeaton5045]

Intersting. In the light comparison test, on my iMac, the Aputure lights all look a bit "warmer" to me. Only a slight shift, and i guess easily fixed in correction.

[@armacanqui]

@@timbeaton5045 Yeah, Aputure's lights seem more natural-looking on the skin to me, but Gerald even said the Godox are more color accurate? I know things can be matched in post, but since I have to live stream a lot these days, it would be good to know of a way to match them up live.

[@markmaloney391]

Yeah I felt the same way. It would be interesting to see the shooting settings? Were they color'd the same exact way in post? I was very intersted in the godox but If that magenta shift is real (OR even worse: the magenta was pushed in post to compensate for the Godox pushing more green then I'd be more like to get the aperture). Also you can spot the purple background being warmer on aperture shots. Not sure if that light is affecting the BG purple he hits it with or it's being warmed in post

[@dominey]

I use the Godox SL-60W, and mine has a definite magenta cast. It's subtle, but there. I took a white balance shot with the light and used that as my custom white balance in camera. Helped get rid of it.

Thx Gerald, this is just the video I've been waiting for since I stumbled over the VL series on the internet.

I would love to see a followup on these Godox lights as nearly HALF of the ones I purchased have failed within 6 months. I don't blame you, but there certainly should be some sort of follow up and accountability as you undoubtedly influence many purchases. If nothing else, help people understand that companies like Godox are financing the next gen of products, by selling unproven models to early adopters. The second gen of these lights fixed all the issues that screwed over people like me. Understanding where a company is in the production cycle of a product is now ESSENTIAL in making smart purchases. Granted, this scumbag business model is nothing new; Blackmagic Design used it to grow early on. The first gen of Apple products used to be infamously bad, but now nearly every manufacturer adopts this "figure it out later" model. Thats my Two Cents. Thanks for all you do Gerald.

[@jayblue1732]

Go dox or God ox?

[@DavidSawadogo]

Best lighting kit comparison I've ever seen. Very clear. You answered all of my questions and more. Definitely subscribing.

[@directoradamg]

"as good or better in pretty much every category" I'm curious about this statement. If you ignore the sidus link app vs godox app (there is no comparison, godox's app is very poor), then i think i would agree with you. However there is one issue: You mentioned very quickly the aputure fresnel. Can you please show a side by side comparison of the aputure 120 and vl series with the aputure fresnel 2x and spotlight mount? Both the aputure fresnel and spotlight mount require a specific distance of the COB inside the attachment to work properly. If that distance is not meant, then the fresnel 2x and spotlight mount are not going to work. In that case, the extra ~$300 more for the aputure 300 vII would be a huge selling point.

[@AlexDerrick_DP]

I was going to ask the same thing. Can you use the fresnel and leko mount? That's the main reason I would use a COB lights right now.

[@efleschner]

[@milesian1]

Wait, did I really hear you pronounce the company name CORRECTLY as "God Ox"? Dang, you really do know what you're talking about! For a little background to my comment, the company's name in Chinese, 神牛, can literally be translated as "Holy Cow" or "Sacred Cow," neither of which would be too appealing to the outside world. They somehow came up with "God Ox" instead, which most consumers and KZbinrs (here's looking at you, Robert Hall) run together as "Go Dox", which seems to me a terrible idea with a few exceptions for those that really deserve a good doxxing. In current Chinese parlance, 很神 ("godlike") is often used as a superlative, to marvel at someone's excellence. It's also taken on the role as a modifier, as in 神准 ("incredibly accurate" or "spot on"). Yes, the ancient language of Chinese is quite adaptable and vibrant in our world today!

OHMYGOD i would've never found out if i wasn't reading the comments while watching this video

This is actually incorrect. My friend Rob Hall and I spoke to the owner of Godox and a sales rep who said it is pronounced "goh-dox". The company originally did have the "godlike" meaning attached but then shifted away from religious meanings for business purposes.

Thanks Gerald. I'm getting into videography and need some lights. I believe you've pointed me in the right direction.

I'm in awe that you are the only KZbinr who pronounces Godox properly.

Thanks Gerald, I know this is an old review but I just purchased the Aputure 120d today and cancelled it before it was ship and bought the the VL150 and a AD400 pro!

I liked the video before it even started! Outstanding job, Gerald.

I picked up a VL150 and the Laofas softbox a while back and while the light has been great, I'd personally advise against the sofbox. Mine fell apart after only a handful of uses. I recently picked up one of the new Smallrig softboxes which are similarly priced and it seems MUCH more robust.

Thanks Gerald! I've been waiting to see a video with the VL150

Another GREAT video Gerald! Thank you for covering the fan noise as that is one of the key items to cover with COB lights! I may have to get one one day.

I bought the FV200 with the Aputure light dome 2 about a month ago and really like it. I can use it as a flash and a continuous light for video. It works well!

I'm can't get enough of the godox lights. I just did a photoshoot with the godox ad300 pro on my channel and im loving it!

Surprised to see I hadn't subscribed! I've been learning from you for ages... I must have subscribed twice 😉 Three times now... I'll buy a hoodie to make it up to you! 🙏

Thanks Gerald - I came to this video from your podcast with Sara Dietchy - like you said it depends on how reliable these lights are over time.
