The ULTIMATE Video Light for Creators (Aputure Amaran 300c Review)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- I've been using the Amaran 300c for a few months now, in this video I'm giving you the details on this light. It has big pros along with a few cons. It's bright, small and has a bowens mount which makes it incredibly versatile. I wish it had a longer power cable and the ability to turn the fan off (even if that would limit the output)

Happy new year my dude and congrats to you & mama Johnson on the incoming bundle of joy. 🙏
Thank you! We are eagerly waiting for baby’s arrival 👶🏼
i love the bts high angle shot to see all the gear you are using. cant wait til you show us all the stuff you use to make one vid. definitely going to take your lighting course one day when its needed. for now im in an editing course
Love my 300c & this video made me love it more 🔥
Such a dope light! 💡
Happy new year Ben, and congratulations on awaiting the arrival of Baby Johnson! 😍
Just a heads up, the end screens didn't pop up at the end of this video as I watched it. Maybe go check the settings when you have a moment, unless it was just a glitch on my end.
Take care!
Fawn 😊
I have the 150c and love it.
Amazing!
Hi! I've been watching some of your light videos - good work,high quality! - but I was wondering... Do you have a good "budget" light option that can be used on my desk? I just started making videos,i have a webcam and everything is good, I just need brighter image but unluckily I don't have anymore space in my room to put a stand or stuff like that
Hey, thanks for this amazing video. Can you share the link of the tripod for this light?
Great video. You probably forgot about 150C. It's also amazing one, but cheaper. I've bought it recenty and used only once. As a key light it was pretty good. I used quite big modifier (120 cm octa) in some distance (about 2,5 m from the character) and set light power on 30%. I think it was really quiet. I was standing really close to it and I couldn't hear the fan
The 150c is a great choice too
Hello Ben Johnson,🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing valuable information for aspiring creators embarking on their videography and photography journey.
Your insights on the budget-friendly Sony Camera A6 were helpful, and I noticed you recently made a video on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
Which camera would be better for someone like me who wants to create videos and engage in photography?
I appreciate your advice in selecting the best camera for my needs.
Thanks!
The a6700 would be better if you want photo and video

Thanks for the quick response, 🥰
Ben! I appreciate your recommendation.
For a typical sit down video set up would you need 2 of these as a key and fill light?
No you could use just one with a large soft box and angle the light accordingly to achieve as much or as little shadow as you want
you're using it on a small lantern, but what if you used it on a big one, or on a 46 inch /120cm softbox, probably not strong enough, right? and it is a beginner light. its just a bit more expensive
Its good more than godox sl300r or vl300 ?
Just got the 300c for $380, can't beat the price. Hopefully i like it🤞🏾
Where’d you get it for $380! 😭
by the time i can afford this thing or even need it I hope its the new version with the fan issue fixed lol
Does the app work with both apurture and amaran lights or do they require separate ones?
Both
Can you do an updated video of budget video lights sub $150
Check out the video I recommend at the end - definitely have reviews on lights under $150!
I have the same one, but I have a question, sometimes when I'm shooting with my iPhone the light creates weird lines in my videos, how can I fix that?
I dont know the word in english for it but try to change the system frequency, or just the fps. 24/25/29
I am new to lighting and I still don't know if I should go with the 150c or the 300c. I am thinking of using it for interviews in small rooms, solo dance videos, B-roll videos in restaurants, and just experimenting with light and learning in my apartment.
The 150 is still super bright, I’d go with that and overtime if you feel you need more light you can upgrade
Amazing !!! But over budget for me...that would be ideal !!!
There are other great options at lower budgets!
Is it better than the nanlite forza 300 b ii ?
In my opinion yes it’s better. The forza doesn’t have RGB options and in my experience nanlite app control is flakey
Hello Ben hope all is well. I think it's a good light but way over priced, at this price you should get a remote with it I don't like lights that I have too use apps to control it, still and all great review thank you for sharing it with us
It’s actually a pretty good price considering how strong the light is! It just depends on your needs and budget 😎
u need light not remote just focus on point
Is it good more than godox sz300r or sz150r ?
The app system is far better, but the Godox has perks too, mainly the back display, for me it comes down to compatibility with the app and other aputure lights, as a system I’ve been enjoying aputure more for more advanced lighting suiff like pixel effects with the tubes, but sometimes just using a remote can be more convenient with the Godox. Both a fantastic it just depends on your needs/wants
@benjohnsoncreative I bought the aputure 300c at 4 days ago
and I see the godox sr300z have 49800 lux out put and aputure 300c is 20890 lux, So i sold the 300c and buy sr300z today.
I hope this is a good choice. XD
love your video ~ from Taiwan
Better than godox sl300r?
I haven’t tried that one but I love this Aputure light
3-pin XLR power in?!!! Really?
That case is ASS! but the light is amazing
If the send you a light then its considered an endorsement. Don’t get that twisted. What’s the difference. Tell the truth talk about the real problems with the light, hope they send you stuff in the future
I share the cons about products whether they were sent to me or not
