      i do not mind watching a “long” vid if it is done well and gives actual helpful content as this one does & your others i have watched the past couple days since finding you!!! 🙏🏼🙌🏼 There are A LOT of other YT’ers making waaaay too long vids with too much intro, having cameras set up while they walk around to locations (photography type stuff) blathering on about a little and the entire vid of the information they were trying to share could be done in 5-10 minutes max if kept on point instead of 16-21 mins 😴🙄 keep up the good work & thank you!!! 💪🏼💪🏼🌟

    I think those RGB tube lights (Godox has TL -xxx) would work well for back lighting in this situation. This video helps to explain why they're so expensive...

  • @DJ-hu4ih
    @DJ-hu4ih 3 роки тому +9

    You make good points about the RGB channels not being as powerful as the CCT mode, however this is the standard when it comes to RGBWW lights in general, or even Bicolor for that matter; the aputure 300X has half the output of the 300D. Another thing to note is when measuring the lux ratings of the red, green and blue channels of an RGB light, the green channel has roughly 5x the output of the blue channel, and the red channel has about 3x the output of the blue channel. Blue is always the lowest in output out of the 3 colours due to the nature of of the wave lengths. So whilst the output of this light in blue may be similar to the gelled sl60w, the red and green channels should be far brighter.

Next step is to finally figure out color correction with a color checker that always gives me worse colours than default out of camera look. Also, love the washed out blacks and will try to replicate. I'm confident you have a great future here on UA-cam.

    This was a really great review! There are definitely not too many reviews out so far for the the SZ series of lights. I actually came across a Sokani X60 (80W) RGB COB LED that I picked up for half the price of this for the RGB qualities and then just ended up getting the VL150 for a stronger light source when needed.
    PS - That smile at 8:51 under the red light is both creepy and funny at the same time. Something about a red light being cast just makes everything eerie LOL!!

Picked up some Neewer lights, and so far the issue I have with those (660 Pro) is for my small space I cant dim them enough 1% is like 15%. Wish I could find a good sale on Amaran lights.

  • @forewarnedfilm
    @forewarnedfilm 3 роки тому

    Great review, with a wonderful real-world example of how you wanted to use the light. You really gave context to how useful (or not) the light would be. I too have been dazzled by bi-colour & RGB, but often the reality is that it is raw output we need. This feels like a rare mis-fire from Godox, who have been knocking it out of the park recently - the zoom function on this unit won’t even do anything if the reflector is removed! I AM interested in the forthcoming Godox S60 focusable light which will probably give your projection attachment even more output - despite being a lower wattage (and it shouldn’t get as hot). Maybe that might be a light to ask Godox to send you...

    Wow! That was super useful and what a great point about RGB functioning at effectively 60W. I was about to hit buy and you just helped me realise why it would have been a bad decision. I am looking at a light mostly to light up behind me or may be as an accent light to highlight my hair or the dark side of my face.

    • @FellowFilmmaker
      @FellowFilmmaker  3 роки тому

    Ahh, finally. A reviewer, you, who answered a hobbyist's (me) question: Will the SZ150R be your "First" light? "First" is in quotes as I take it you mean "First real" light. My style? Hobby indoor/outdoor photography, portrait gels, etc, but no interest in videos. With 2 Godox V860 II and the XPRO controller, I've been trying to figure out my next flash unit... My "First real" one. Easily portable, batt, more power, compatible with my Godox kit & XPRO-well, essentially your graphic @12:45. I kept thinking AD200Pro but wait... what about this new RGB SZ150R for only $100 over a fully loaded AD200Pro? Having watched many SZ150R videos, it was still a "maybe, why not" deal. Watched your video... nope, go with the AD200Pro and keep wrestling with the gels. Thanks for helping me toward a decision. 👏

      And there's many ways depending on if you're using a modifier or not. But alot of folks just clamp or tape it over the reflector dish, leaving some room for air flow of course. But you can only do that with lights that are under 300w otherwise you risk melting the gel. In that case you need to extend it further from the light.

I've been investigating other RGB lights options but after what you mentioned about the power output I rather use gels instead.
    Keep up the amazing work!!!

      Yeah, if you want good orange colors, you'll want to use gels or you could look at the Prolycht Orion 300 (got a video on the channel here about it). A light I'd recommend is the Aputure 200d or Godox VL150 both would be a good fit for your needs.

    To me it is not worth it just for RGB. To be honest Godox offer cheap RGB panels to give that effect. I would rather have a VL150 or two!!
    But i did like the adjustable beam angle though. I Think that could be very useful. I would like that feature to spil into their other cob’s
    Yeah and the fan noise....

    great video thank you very much. I do have a question. As a newbie here, what would you advice as a first keylight ?
    I do have a good amount of money to spend, budget is not really a limitation.
    Apurture 120d Mark II ? How many of them do I need ? 2 ?
    And then a Godox SZ150R is a good option as a fill light or hair light right ?
    thank you!

    • @FellowFilmmaker
      @FellowFilmmaker  2 роки тому

      It depends on what you are shooting.
      But I'd say you'd want at least two lights - a powerful keylight and a good back light.
      100w or higher for key light
      and 60w or higher for backlight
      I personally like Godox's UL150 for a good, bright, and silent key light (it has no fans)
      Then I like Godox's also totally silent ML60 or ML60bi lights for a back light
      The SZ150R is great when you want colors in a light, but it might not be very often you use those things unless you shoot alot of indie work, music videos, or other colored light situations.

  • @richardrives344
    @richardrives344 2 роки тому +1

    Great video! If you point the light with a blue color at an angle do you get an even spread of light on the background?

    • @FellowFilmmaker
      @FellowFilmmaker  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, it is even (no splotching or anything like that). The mixing dome on the front of the light ensures there is no weird patterning with the color mixing or anything like that.

    According to the Gaffer & Gear channel, the the projection kit on Godox bowens lights lose a lot of output, so much so that the S30 is brighter than an SL200WII with the projection kit on each. Just my two cents as to how weak this light was with the projection kit.

    • @FellowFilmmaker
      @FellowFilmmaker  3 роки тому +1

      Right, the projection kit does suck some serious output. Which is sad, since the effect it great

    • @FellowFilmmaker
      @FellowFilmmaker  2 роки тому +1

      Well there are loads of options out there of course. It can depend on what you're shooting.
      But if you want something that is both continuous and flash, there is the Godox FV150.
      If you want a good all around light the Godox UL150 is also good.
      If you need cheap and you have control over your situation then Amarn 100d is also good.

    Love your videos! Only one thing: The SZ wouldn't be 60-65w in RGB mode, it would be less than that because the SL60W has a gel which dims the light output

  • @leeblakemore2762
    @leeblakemore2762 3 роки тому

    If you have Godox's ear, please ask them for a firelight preset with at least 3 different power outputs. Bonfire, Fire Place and Candle... Each time I need something like this, I'm using Gels and having to pay a Grip to reflect and shade light source to create the "flicker".
    I don't understand why not one manufacturer has thought of this as a preset scene... Great vid by the way, at the moment I'm using UL150 as a keyand some cheap RGB Panels for ambient fill/backlight and wondering if this might be better in that capicity as it'll be easier to shape that the panels

I'll be interested to see how the effect looks and whether or not it sells the scene against a low light environment... At last a light manufacturer that has noticed this huge gap in lighting effects.
