Elgato Keylight Air Vs. $1k professional lighting

I give my 2 cents on comparing an Elgato Keylight Air streaming set-up to a full light production set up like a lot of successful UA-camrs (def not me hahaha)
In one corner we have the humble Elgato Keylight Air and in the other the overkill and super expensive Aputure 300D with their lantern box mounted on a C-stand.
In all honesty, if you can afford the bigger Elgato Keylight I think you should go for that, but if your budget doesn't stretch that far then the Keylight Air is great too, if budget isn't a factor and you are planning on doing more production and videoing stuff then getting something like the Forza or Aputure lights is a great option with a softbox or lantern shade like this one I have on.
This video would have helped me when I was comparing all this stuff and probably saved me a few hundred dollars as in hindsight I didn't really need the Elgato but just wanted it to try so I can help someone else hopefully not make a big purchase when they maybe didn't need to!
I've got a friend who has the Elgato Key light and will do a comparison between that and the Keylight Air next at night in streaming set up so you can see how that looks too!
Thanks and any questions just ask!

Very helpful! thanks mate

No problem 👍 Thanks Ese

Thank you! Aputure also has smaller and cheaper lights, more comparable to the Elgato Keylight. Like HR672C. And they work without WIFI. If Elgato Keylight looses WIFI or you unplug them they need a new setup from scratch as they have no memory built in.

Really good points and I actually have those Aputure lights and a soft box so I should’ve compared those too! 🤦🏽‍♂️
