- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- I'm calling these the Best Video Lights for 2021. Specs in the description below. What you get for the price is amazing. These lights are BRIGHT! For 2021, I would recommend these for any video creator. If you are on a budget, go for the Aputure 100D/100X or 200D/200X, but I suggest dropping the coin and getting these that will last you for the next decade.

Really enjoyed this review! Thank you!
Thank you!!!
This was the review I’ve been looking for. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
There are so many amazing lights out there now, it’s amazing (and delightful 💡). These ones look pretty awesome!
Thanks Tom. It is amazing. Even a decade ago lights of this quality and feature set would have been in the thousands of dollars.
Great video. Well put together. These lights look awesome. Oh ya...Your audio sounds real clean too. Thanks!
-Will
Thanks Will. Yes, I do really love these lights, and give me confidence I don’t have to “play” with lights anymore for at least the next couple of years.
This is the only video I have had to watch with my sunglasses (ND Filters) on! Thanks, Kevin. 😀
I got these on your review and I love them
Number Cool Two Thing!!! Great video Kevin!
Thanks!
Love this review
Thanks Gary! 👍
Great and funny review, Kevin - as usual. I could watch you reviewing a plain light bulb and you would still make it hiliarious :-).
Thanks Potvora! LOL! Reviewing a plain lightbulb. That would be fun but I don’t think anyone would get the joke. Maybe April fools day!
@@BasicFilmmaker Keep that in mind, April fools day is slowly coming and I cannot imagine anyone better for the job than you :-).
Now those are some great lights !
Totally. They are now my favorite of all time, and the ones I’ll use for at least the next couple of years.
Great review, thanks. Was thinking to get 3 aputure x lights, as I need for interviews in an area with unavoidable natural light spill, so thought being able to vary the colour temperature would be essential. You say you're going with 2x Ds, and 1xX - does this mean you're using only in an enclosed studio, and would you choose differently if using in other settings (maybe a 300x and 2 x 60x) to be able to get all of your lights aligned with any natural light spill? Thanks Kevin.
I recently bought the Aputure 60D. It an awesome light and it very bright!!!
Agreed!
I was looking for a COB and was undecided between this and a Godox. SO I just went and bought myself a 60x, because of your review. :D
Awesome. I love these lights. 👍
Thank you so much for this review.
Do you think that it should be a good solution as single light with a 1m octabox? Or the narrower angle of diffusion of the light would be a problem for it?
Thanks for this. Two questions
1) What light dome did you use? Do you think that the large aperture light dome would work with the 60x?
2) I was thinking of getting the 200x but I'm hearing that this 60x is a better value. What are your thoughts. I'm a beginner UA-camr filming mostly indoors. Would the 60x suffice as a key light?
Hey there Russel! 1.) ANY done with a Bowen mount will work, which means almost any decent light dome out there. I’ll probably use the GVM light dome as shown in the video as it’s beautiful, and the Aputure light dome...mainly as those are what I have. Most likely will buy another light dome from GVM or Aputure that is the full light dome.
How long does the 60D last on full power using two NPF batteries?
We've used the absolute CRAP out of our Mini20s. The barn doors are falling off, the light stands are hanging by a thread.
Love the really really really really really long cord. Manufacturers always seem to give us tiny rubbish cords!
These look like a great upgrade. All the stuff we didn't like about the mini20s seem to be solved with these. Thanks for sharing Kevin!
Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by! Totally agree. These tiny rubbish short cords are a pain, and this allows me to place these anywhere in the studio. Yay! Yeah, I loved the Mini20s, but Aputure really listened and gave me all my wishes on this one. :)
Why going with one of these lights instead of a aputure 120d or cheapest options like amaran 200d. Is there any key difference I am missing?
Do you feel the 60x would be bright enough for interviews? (With modifier and as a key light)
Very much so, although I would lean towards the 60D (twice as bright) if you're worried about it.
FREAKING AWESOOOOOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!! 👍
Welcome back
NOW I am back! WOOT! WOOT!! 👍
Great video, I just picked up the 60d and using it with the light dome mini 2 I seem to be getting a hotspot even on full flood, as opposed to the light filling the entire dome. Did you find this issue?
I don’t have the Mini2 dome, but this doesn’t make sense. Go here and see what they say. They are VERY active in answering questions. facebook.com/groups/AputureUsers/
@@BasicFilmmaker Cheers, thanks for the reply. I managed to find the answer on the group. It's because the maximum beam angle is 45°, therefore the light doesn't fill the dome, instead it just shoots through the front diffusion material. The 120d the 300d have beam angles of 120° so they fill the entire dome with light, thereby utilizing the entire surface area of the dome creating a softer source. You learn something new every day🤷♂️
Is the 60d brighter than amaraan 200d ?
Do you happen to have the 100d to compare it to? What's the difference in brightness between the 2 when you're putting it in the softbox / lantern?
I did not do those comparisons, but you can see the actual 100D here as well as the lux specs. ua-cam.com/video/U3nbDgMrMRI/v-deo.html Thanks!
Nice review, thanks. Pity the D version is the only one available in Europe right now with the X one completely sold out for months without eta.
If I had two 60D's would I have enough to light a green screen that it 9 feet by 7 feet? (I assume that the 60X would not be bright enough.) And thank you.
Haven’t tried it. Are you planning on lighting YOU and the greenscreen? Sometimes iffy. If only the green screen, it may be better to use the 60X’s as you can set them to green and save yourself a lot of time. For perfect green screen work, I always light it separately, and using bank lights always gives me the vest results.
@@BasicFilmmaker Yes, only the green screen. I'm happy to go with the 60x's because I can use them for so many other things. My concern was that they wouldn't be bright enough, but if you tell me that two of them would give me an excellent green screen, I'll go with that.
@@TomRiddle1 Don’t get me wrong. As I said, I haven’t tried it, so no idea. My concern would be the spread of these lights. If you do go with this, I’d love to know if it worked out for you. I have two 60D and 1 60X so haven’t tried it. Thanks!
very scientific review I love it haha
Thank you!
I'm having such a hard time difussing this light! Only succes so far with a booklight set up, but maybe not bright enough for that use
There are diffusers coming designed for this light soon. Stay tuned.
I have 2 (X) models on order, can't wait
I think you're going to love these. I do!
Great lighs are they out of my price range
They are for some. I would highly suggest the Aputure 100Ds as they are more reseanbly priced and are also very bright, accept Bowen’s mount products, and can be used with Sidus link. That was the last video review I did.
Hey kevin, great review as always! :)
I'm thinking about buying this light or the 100d. I intend to use it to shine it on a wall or white blanket and let that huge source be my keylight. And sometimes shoot it through the inside diffusion of a 5 in 1 reflector.
With that in mind, wich light would you recomend for my usecase?
LS60 or the 100d?
Thank for your advise :)
Definitely the 60d. It’s 2x bright the 100. 👍
Alright! Thank you and have nice sunday :)
@@Julian-zd9kx You too Julian! 🙏
I'm confused about the opinions on UA-cam about this light. Some guys say they wouldn't use it as a key light, some say it can be. So, is it bright enough to be a key light with a softbox on it?
The 60D IS bright enough as a keylight - VERY bright. Don't know why some are saying it's not. Sure, if your light is placed 20 feet away with multiple scrims and diffusion, you'll need a pretty powerful light.
1:21 so much cool stuff that's cool and stuff... 👍
😂
It is true that 60x and 60d have the same brightness at 5500k full flood?
No. The 60X is about half of the 60D, but plenty bright.
Yes, in full spot about duble but In one UA-cam video, one person was testing the full flood and the amount of lux was almost identical at 5500k. Did you check it?
is it good also for interviews ?
Very much so! Also the 100D/200D which are cheaper: ua-cam.com/video/U3nbDgMrMRI/v-deo.html
Are you going to be using these as key lights?
Yep. The HD60d’s are a key and fill, and the HD60x as the hair light.
@@BasicFilmmaker niice!!
@@Design475 :)
Why do your videos and graphics look like they were made in the 80’s or 90’s?
Why do you leave comments like this?
@@BasicFilmmaker constructive criticism??🤔 You don’t have to take it.
@@hneufvil I never do.
I personally find the graphics and editing quite enjoyable together with review style. Well done.
