Great video as always. I was thinking about spill and you addressed that at the end, perfect haha.

[@ditisjerome]

such a good video, thank you!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Glad you liked it!

[@kaihschroeder]

Amazing video. I highly appreciate the effort you put into this video, Ben. Amazing. Really nice to follow along! I'm using different sizes of Lanterns for a long time now and i can only agree with you: the Lanterns are NICE. Just a quick tip for smaller rooms: Godox just released the CS-50T and i'm a happy owner already. Small, compact, great.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

I’ll have to check that one out!

[@Calvin.The.Unfindable]

super interesting - ive a lot to learn what i like from lighting. but yeah the major con for me is the sheer size of the beast! ain't no way thats fitting in my tiny space! but awesome bit of kit none the less. thank you for your continued awesome lighting and inspirational content :) have a great weekend

[@noormuhamed17]

Hi. I have that puffy light, and when I put it up at a 45 degree down at me like you show in this video - I get circles under my eyes (from my eye sockets cuz I have black under eyes). It doesn’t look good. I guess you don’t have sunken in eyes therefore you don’t get that effect?

[@sharon6981]

Can you please let me know where you get those back lights from?
