Which RGB video light is best? Ulanzi vs Aputure

Who makes the best value RGB video lights? Today I look at a bunch Ulanzi gear that I purchased in 2021 and compare it against my Aputure video lights, including the Aputure AL-MC, Aputure M9, Ulanzi VL49, VL30 and VIJIM VL120 RGB. I also look at some of Ulanzi's inexpensive tripods and accessories such as the Ulanzi Mini Tripod, MT-08 and ST-05 and give my first impressions.

This is good, i'm about to buy this VL120 for background light, and your explanation was answered all my questions, especially the VL49 (12% is so bright) so i will definitely buy these two!

thank you, very very helpful for me!!!!

[@cklppt]

Really helpful for me. I'm considering Aputure MC or VL120 + VL49, the later is actually just half the price. Like the product and skin tone comparison part. Would be great if the product stay in fixed position so easier to compare. It's a shame this vid got so little views.

What is the lux at 23 inches, Im looking to put some above my 32 inch computer monitor. Or shall I go for 2? Or what about the would this be better than benq or yeelite monitor light bars? Im looking for the cr90 plus but can it do 400 lux at 20 inches?

[@ryanscottmurphy86]

I don't have a light meter to check for you, but at 23 inches I'm thinking you'll most likely want a larger and/or more powerful light source.

[@BautistaII]

WOW! I owned this lights for about 2 years and thanks to you video I just find out about the other scenes capabilies thank you lol,lol

Can you use a fast charging Samsung charger to charge them via USB? Or is that to high power?

[@ryanscottmurphy86]

You might want to look up the Voltage and Amperage of the devices you're concerned about. Voltage outputs must match Voltage expected inputs to be safe, but my understanding is that Amperage can be higher on your charger and things will be okay. Fast chargers usually are faster because they offer more Amperage. This is comparable to the water pressure in your tap. You don't have to turn it on all the way, but it's thereif you want it. My advice to you is to check the Samsung fast charger Voltage against the devices you're interested in by checking on their spec sheets online. Or you can look at your specific device and I can tell you the inputs these appear to support if that helps!

[@purificationdetoxification7122]

@@ryanscottmurphy86 That's fantastic thank you for clarifying that, it would be unfortunate to blow the thing up after spending so much money on it haha
