Comment to: 6:05 You're mentioning the restriction where the batteries are in the way when tilting the light down, while using a softbox. The fastest and easiest solution to this is just to unscrew the light from the handle and flip it 180 degrees, so the batteries are on the rear side of the light instead. I have done this several times myself, works like a charm! 🙌🏼
ordered this on a whim last year then figured I better watch a video of it. Watched this video and was looking forward to its arrival. So I have been using the ML60 as a wedding videographer for the last year, during speeches and also some couples stuff outside at night. The light is great and I cannot live without it. I just purchased some barn doors for it to improve my directional control. So looking forward to seeing how I can improve my lighting situation going forward. So far it has been a beast and I only ever have to use it at max 50%. Might get another one to replace my other led panels.
@@SamHolland ive ordered the Godox BD-04 pack from amazon. not arrived yet so will let you know how they fair when i try them out at a wedding in a few weeks time
@@SamHolland it doesnt fit. Complete waste of time. I see someone ask if it fits the ML60 to which someone else replied "absolutely!" . ..... well it doesnt. lol
Thanks for a thorough overview. So many reviewers forget critical bits of info, like which battery is required, does it have an AC provision, what kind of mount, etc.
Man, Thank God for Godox, when I first started thinking about starting my channel I thought i would have to spend hundreds of dollars on the apature 120d but the sl60w has given me awesome results as well without breaking the bank
Im sure this has been mentioned before but when you use the soft box you can just mount the light in reverse so the battery pack is at the back. It makes the handle a little more awkward to move but it allows the soft box some more movement.
This light caught my eye and your review sold it for me. I love it and it's all ready been a lifesaver for indoor shoots with limited space and without being invasive to the subject. Sometimes you just don't want/need flash popping off every second.
I was always wondering why the soft boxes aren’t made that way, so simple instead of wrestling with the damn wires and fabric... so cumbersome. Hope they set a trend for soft boxes.
I’m pleased you found this helpful. It really has come in handy for me I must say. Such a space saver and the case is just so handy. Thanks for watching 🎥🙏🏻
Hi Mark. Thanks so much for checking out the channel. I’m pleased you like it. 🤩🙏🏻 if there’s anything I can do to help, let me know. I’m also on Instagram. 🎥🎥
Hi. Yes it may also be worth checking this out as you can light a whole room evenly with these … ua-cam.com/video/bL6l2DtnKM4/v-deo.html hope it helps and thanks for watching 🙏🏻🤩🎥
I’ve just tailored my own look for the colours in the room and my lights etc. I’ve tried other people’s luts but I think it’s best making your own. I have a video on it if you search for it, I show you how to make your own. 🙏🏻 let me know
Thanks for the review. Will really like to know how bright it is in daylight. For an outdoor, day use, in place of a reflector...how effective will it be? Thank you.
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for introducing this product. I was going to buy SL150WII over SL60 because of the improved an better feature of SL150wii, even though 150w is far more than I need. But now, I think i will buy ML60.
@@SamHolland No worries! :) Hope you're safe too. Now I'm just gonna sit here and wait for your channel to get 1M subs. Time and quantity is the only thing separating you from that. The quality of content, lack of cringe, having a on camera persona ... It's all there mate. Go get 'em! :) Stay safe and preferably unlocked. :)
Great vid and very informative. Super presentation style as well. Perhaps your accent is a nice bonus ;) The question in the title is: is it powerful enough? I may have missed the exact moment it was mentioned (I have a busy toddler at my ankles), but how powerful are they? I am new to video and LED lighting. It would be super helpful if you could share at what power setting this video was shot, and then what aperture and ISO you used along with it. At full power and with the octabox attached, how far do you place the light? What I’m asking is this - is it strong enough to light a space for two people doing an interview or is it mainly aimed at single person setups like this video? Also, will they work outside in cloudy or sunny conditions to fill the shadows a bit? even if they have to be used without diffusion. This will make it easier than having to get an assistant to try and keep a reflector still. Especially if there is even a slight breeze ;)
Been looking for a decent and affordable light, stumbled on the Godox series, they seem great I think I might snag the SL150II though...awesome video my dude!!
I mean it looks really cool and better than the SL60, but it does cost twice as much. You really have to be sure that you NEED the portability aspect. I think I'd rather get the SL150 Mark I or Mark II for the higher output outdoors and if I need to go portable, I'll get a portable camping generator for 300-500$ so I can charge all of my lights outdoors by cable. But still, great video Sam! I really love that you show off great products on your channel! You got me back then with the GVM Slider haha
Hi Roberto. Yes exactly. The SL60w is perfect if you don’t need batteries or portability or FX. But still the price is amazing for what you get. Such good quality and output for the price. Thank you for watching the videos 😃🎥🙏🏻
Great video. I've been eyeballing a godox 60w that comes with softbox. I purchased a whole big neewer kit with backdrop and 3 screens, 4 lights, 2 umbrellas and 2 softboxes for the price of one godox. For me as a total beginner it was kind of a no-brainer just to start out but this will be my next step when I'm ready to upgrade. I love the idea of battery power!
hi there. I'm very late to this conversation...Did you get this GODOX light? How does it compare to your Neewer lights? The 660? I need a spotlight for speakers at a podium so that I can get better exposure. My current LED panels are not good enough...too wide a beam I guess...but I don't want to blind people! I have tons of Sony large capacity batteries so this Godox would be useful...just wondering if you went ahead with the upgrade. Thanks
@@TheFandangovideoguy hey Erick. No i didn't get the godox. It was too big for what i wanted to use it for. I ended up going with neewer led panels with small softboxes. The total footprint is only about 6 inches deep with the softbox on. I have them mounted to my desk
@@NickBorsellino ok...hmmmm....I have a couple of older Amaran Aputure 528W LED panels ((have you heard of them?) and I'm wondering if getting a couple of neewer 660 would be an upgrade of sorts or if I should get one or two of these Godox ML60 lights...in your case you want diffused light...in my case I need a bit more power -a spotlight effect I guess...I may buy them and try them...thanks so much!
Can you use this light with 100% on battery? I've bought this light on this morning but I've used NP Battery 4400mah I can use for 100% just only few minutes and then light turn off (but lcd screen still on)
Thanks so much Jose! 🙏🏻 it’s good enough for a budget shoot but if you have a little extra in the budget, it might be worth something brighter... for UA-cam it’s fine 👌🏻 thanks for watching 🎥
Thanks for the review. I have the SL 60W but need a location light more powerful than my Amaran H528W. This looks attractive. Cheers, Ray (originally from Wolverhampton).
Compelling video...made me watch to the end. What's the amount if time with the battery pack at full charge on both half intensity and full intensity? How long before battery runs out on a shoot.
Great video man! This light looks amazing. I’ve got the SL60W, but this would be so nice for filming on location and would be so much easier to transport.
Hi Suzanne. It all really depends on your style and your settings. You might want something a little more powerful. I hope this helps 🙏🏻🎥 and thank you for watching
@@SamHolland Thank you! I was thinking of getting one for food/product photography and a bit of video work. How big will the difference be with this ML60 to the Godox150? Will you recommend the softbox that is made for this light or can I just use the 95 cm softbox (with a S2 bracket) - or maybe a simple white shoot through umbrella? Thanks a lot in advance 🙏🏻
Hi Susanne. Yeh the Godox 150 will be loads better. I have a video on it on my channel along with some softbox videos. I have some links in the description for softboxes. 🤩 let me know what you do 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Thanks for the very useful and great video! The link for the light on Amazon is not working, by the way :) I was wondering if you have a recommendation for a specific tripod, or any other way to mount this light?
Hi. If you watch my recent UA-cam videos, it’s what I use as my key light. Otherwise it’s pretty much the same as the Godox SL60w. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🤩🎥
Awesome review really glad I found your channel from this and this is a light I’ve been looking at as well and yes I’d use it to up my UA-cam video game, but I was wondering if you had any idea on whether it’s bright enough to use for stills photography as well?
Hi Gareth. Thanks for watching. I’m pleased you enjoy the channel 🙏🏻 it’s a great light. To be honest I don’t do much photography and I wouldn’t like to tell you something that’s not suited to you. Could be worth giving a go if you’re using for your UA-cam channel anyway. If you’re not sure, check out my video on the SL150II that’s a brighter version, if you haven’t seen it already 🙏🏻
@@SamHolland thanks I’ll check that out now, I shoot on location as well so the portability would be even better but maybe there’s a ML150 in the works 🤔
in order for me to have an idea of how bright it is in full power, could you tell me what the exposure settings would need to be if it is lighting you at full power for this video? For example at 2ft with the softbox, 2x diffused with the grid, would your exposure be: 1/50sec, @ F2.8, ISO 100 ?
Light was roughly 2ft away from me with 2 layers of diffusion on all examples. Some with grid, some without. 1/50 shutter. F3.2 iso 400 on the canon eos R
@@SamHolland was it at full power? Just trying to see how it would compare with the Stella CLX8 Also, do you know of any easy way to gell those lights when using the softbox? Thank you so much for your help
I have a pair of the Neewer 660 advanced panels and they are ok for entry level lighting of course...sometimes I need a spotlight for conferences/speeches to light the person at a podium and the 660 just don't have the narrow beam of course- would this one be much better for that? I don't intend to use it on a movie set or anything-I need a spotlight that won't blind the speaker at the podium of course...this ML60 looks good-can it really throw light in a narrow angle for let's say 15 feet? or I need to place it closer? If I place my Neewer 660 closer then I can get proper exposure but I would prefer to have the light a bit away from the subject...ideas? Thanks!- Using Sony batteries is a bonus for me. I have tons of the large capacity
Hi Erick. Thanks for your question. To be honest, it’s a little hard to say since there are so many variables BUT I would go for something a little more powerful if you can, just to make sure. Here’s an idea ua-cam.com/video/bD5Gqu5Mkmw/v-deo.html But if you needed to power using batteries, you could go for this one which can be bought in a higher power version too and powered by v mount ua-cam.com/video/BFlSjMp3zmk/v-deo.html The ML60 could still work though. Sorry if this has raised more questions 😂 thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥
@@SamHolland thanks so much man! questions is good. Lighting is the essence of everything to do with cameras! It's not just a matter of turning on any light and pointing it! So much to know...I have lots to learn for sure and there are so many good tools these days. I remember visiting an older but gorgeous TV studio long ago and seeing how big and powerful and expensive the lights mounted on the high ceiling were! So much power it could warm up the whole set! and changing an incandescent bulb would take several guys! oh man...it was hard to buy good lights for personal videos then...now is a bit easier but not all LEDs are created equal. I will watch your great informative videos and make a decision. Thanks so much for the response...Godox makes good products I can afford!
That’s exactly it! Things have come a long way and we’re so lucky but at the same time, it shows you how much power you need sometimes but not all the time. Yes Godox are great for the price 👌🏻
You can get a mount to add Bowen’s style softboxes but it depends on the stand you have and the weight. I just use the one that is built for it (link in description) thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻 I hope that helps
Hey man, great video! Been looking at lighting for my own videos for a while now. Going to be setting up a new video studio space next year so this might have to be put on the list! I’ve subbed 😊
Mate, these look sick 🤩 the light master Sam Holland always delivers great aspects and reviews on light - which is everything when it comes to film and photo ✨😃
Thank you 😃🙏🏻 I haven’t done a proper test of the battery life yet but one of those batteries powers my Ninja V monitor for hours so I’d expect a decent amount of time. As soon as I test I’ll let you know 🙏🏻 thanks for watching 🎥
Thank you very much for your video! I'm looking for a way to set up only one light source for my documentary. I am considering taking Godox ML60. Which stand do you use with that light? I will add a Godox Cs-85D lantern on this light as well.
I love beans ...seriously another cracking review buddy how can some numpty give this a thumbs down in less time than it take to watch it this is a big 👍 plus it has a bag off to buy one I think !
Thanks man! 🙏🏻🤩 Ah thanks you legend! Yes, a bag is always a bonus!! 💪🏻🎥 Sweet man. It really is awesome. You won’t regret that purchase. Thanks for watching man 🙏🏻🤩👌🏻
Ooooo good question. There are some options that you could plug into the power input of the light. Just make sure that the output of those batteries match the input of the light 🙏🏻
@@SamHolland oh I see. I already bought one before seeing this. I just purcchased the charger separately. I thought the ones you attached to the handle can also charge the batteries. hahaha. I was wrong
Do you know if owners of the SL150 can buy the upgraded fan from Godox? I swapped out mine for a quieter one but, it doesn't cool enough when using a soft box at 100%.
It all depends on your needs but I would say that the ML60 is more versatile. Batteries and portable. BUT it doesn’t have a full sized Bowen’s mount. They do a softbox for it but if you want to use accessories you already own, you’ll have to purchase the adapter. All explained in the video 🙏🏻🎥
Hi I come across your channel cuz of this video. I’m a newb with led lamps.. can I ask you a question. Doses the 60’ soft box get the job done? I’m thinking of buying this or Forza and was wondering if I would go for the 90 softbox. (Or both.) But can the light handle the bigger softboxes?
Is this light for you?? Why? :D
I think so. I'm a bean-size photographer in need of a bean-size light for a bean-size room. 😁 Excited for this. I hope it becomes available soon. ❤
😂😂😂👌🏻 then this is the perfect bean light for YOU! 🙏🏻🤩
@@SamHolland Will there be a bean-size bloopers video? You're amazing! 🤗
😂 shall I bring them back??? 🤔

It’s cool isn’t it 🤩 ah thank you Julian! 🙏🏻🎥 and thanks for watching and supporting
Thanks again bro for a wonderful tips 👍
Thank you for watching! 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Thanks for the very useful and great video! The link for the light on Amazon is not working, by the way :) I was wondering if you have a recommendation for a specific tripod, or any other way to mount this light?
Nicely done, I like the lighting you've got going on for the talking head. :D Keep it up!
Thank you my friend! 🙏🏻🤩💪🏻
Awesome and detailed review 👍🙌🙌
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻 I hope it helped. 🎥
Nice review, seems like a product i want to try!
Thank you 🙏🏻 worth a go for sure if you get the chance 🎥🤩
Any chance of seeing any video footage or photo sample on using this light? thanks
Hi. If you watch my recent UA-cam videos, it’s what I use as my key light. Otherwise it’s pretty much the same as the Godox SL60w. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🤩🎥
@@SamHolland Many thanks
My pleasure! Thank YOU 🙏🏻🎥📺
Do you feel its pretty much a silent, portable sl60w?
Definitely! In all the good ways. And with added fx 🎥
Awesome review really glad I found your channel from this and this is a light I’ve been looking at as well and yes I’d use it to up my UA-cam video game, but I was wondering if you had any idea on whether it’s bright enough to use for stills photography as well?
Hi Gareth. Thanks for watching. I’m pleased you enjoy the channel 🙏🏻 it’s a great light. To be honest I don’t do much photography and I wouldn’t like to tell you something that’s not suited to you. Could be worth giving a go if you’re using for your UA-cam channel anyway. If you’re not sure, check out my video on the SL150II that’s a brighter version, if you haven’t seen it already 🙏🏻
@@SamHolland thanks I’ll check that out now, I shoot on location as well so the portability would be even better but maybe there’s a ML150 in the works 🤔
Let me know what happens
Hey Sam Great video!! You'll eat a lot of beans this week!! :)
😂😂 haha thank you! 🙏🏻🎥
Keep up the good work!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
😂 The Beans! Sweet video as always bro! Looks a great bit of kit
Thanks bro! 🤩🙏🏻🎥 yeh it’s so handy. Especially for a smaller room. Thanks for watching bro 🙏🏻
@@SamHolland no worries man! Yeah looks ideal for that 👌👌
in order for me to have an idea of how bright it is in full power, could you tell me what the exposure settings would need to be if it is lighting you at full power for this video?
For example
at 2ft with the softbox, 2x diffused with the grid, would your exposure be:
1/50sec, @ F2.8, ISO 100 ?
Light was roughly 2ft away from me with 2 layers of diffusion on all examples. Some with grid, some without. 1/50 shutter. F3.2 iso 400 on the canon eos R
@@SamHolland was it at full power? Just trying to see how it would compare with the Stella CLX8
Also, do you know of any easy way to gell those lights when using the softbox?
Thank you so much for your help
Top video mate. Subbed. Are you from Nottingham? You sound like a well spoken Carl Froch 😂😂😂😂
Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻 hope it helped! Haha yes I am! 😂😂👌🏻🎥
@@SamHolland Carl Froch mixed with a bit of Dan Hardy. 😂🙌🏻
LOL 😂
Definitely getting one of thse. Any idea how the battery life is on it?
this is na cracking light! I wish this was out when I got my sl60w. nice review as well mate
Cheers Brad 🙏🏻 yeh it’s a great little light! 🎥 but so is the SL60! 😉
Great video man very insightful! I have the old sl60 might upgrade now. Also how did you get godox to send you some samples??
we have a freaking good beens commercial right here jajajaja thasnk for the review appreciated
😂 thank you for watching! Did it make you want to buy beans?
All I could think of was The Who Sell Out album! "What's for tea, Mum?'.
i’m a wedding photographer is this god for weddings at venues wedding receptions ? i’m using aputure but there so dam heavy
I have a pair of the Neewer 660 advanced panels and they are ok for entry level lighting of course...sometimes I need a spotlight for conferences/speeches to light the person at a podium and the 660 just don't have the narrow beam of course- would this one be much better for that? I don't intend to use it on a movie set or anything-I need a spotlight that won't blind the speaker at the podium of course...this ML60 looks good-can it really throw light in a narrow angle for let's say 15 feet? or I need to place it closer? If I place my Neewer 660 closer then I can get proper exposure but I would prefer to have the light a bit away from the subject...ideas? Thanks!- Using Sony batteries is a bonus for me. I have tons of the large capacity
Hi Erick. Thanks for your question. To be honest, it’s a little hard to say since there are so many variables BUT I would go for something a little more powerful if you can, just to make sure. Here’s an idea ua-cam.com/video/bD5Gqu5Mkmw/v-deo.html
But if you needed to power using batteries, you could go for this one which can be bought in a higher power version too and powered by v mount ua-cam.com/video/BFlSjMp3zmk/v-deo.html
The ML60 could still work though. Sorry if this has raised more questions 😂 thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥
@@SamHolland thanks so much man! questions is good. Lighting is the essence of everything to do with cameras! It's not just a matter of turning on any light and pointing it! So much to know...I have lots to learn for sure and there are so many good tools these days. I remember visiting an older but gorgeous TV studio long ago and seeing how big and powerful and expensive the lights mounted on the high ceiling were! So much power it could warm up the whole set! and changing an incandescent bulb would take several guys! oh man...it was hard to buy good lights for personal videos then...now is a bit easier but not all LEDs are created equal. I will watch your great informative videos and make a decision. Thanks so much for the response...Godox makes good products I can afford!
That’s exactly it! Things have come a long way and we’re so lucky but at the same time, it shows you how much power you need sometimes but not all the time. Yes Godox are great for the price 👌🏻
Great review! just wanna ask, will the ML60 still able to light larger softboxes?
You can get a mount to add Bowen’s style softboxes but it depends on the stand you have and the weight. I just use the one that is built for it (link in description) thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻 I hope that helps
Such a great informative video ...subd... inspired to start my YT channel to do some video 🙏
Hey thanks for watching. Glad you’re feeling inspired! 💪🏻 go for it! All the best!
Hey man, great video! Been looking at lighting for my own videos for a while now. Going to be setting up a new video studio space next year so this might have to be put on the list! I’ve subbed 😊
Thanks, Scott! 🙏🏻 that’s exciting. Let me know how you get on! 🎥 thanks got the sub 🤩👌🏻
Mate, these look sick 🤩 the light master Sam Holland always delivers great aspects and reviews on light - which is everything when it comes to film and photo ✨😃
Thank you my man! 🙏🏻🤩🎥 thanks for watching bro! Hope you’re well!
hey brother your link on the batteries doesn't work, may you please update it? :) thank you for this epic video
Thank you 🙏🏻 I’ll update this ASAP. Thanks for watching 🎥
@@SamHolland killer review and info :)
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻 I hope it helped! 🎥
Sam! Love your channel! Roughly how long can you shoot with those two batteries?
Thank you 😃🙏🏻
I haven’t done a proper test of the battery life yet but one of those batteries powers my Ninja V monitor for hours so I’d expect a decent amount of time. As soon as I test I’ll let you know 🙏🏻 thanks for watching 🎥
Thank you very much for your video! I'm looking for a way to set up only one light source for my documentary. I am considering taking Godox ML60. Which stand do you use with that light? I will add a Godox Cs-85D lantern on this light as well.
Hey nice video! The batteries you linked doesn't go to the batteries you use. What brand of batteries are you using?
Is it can use NPF-980 battery?
Yes. Battery link is in the description if you need 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Already bought this light. I wonder if I can use the battery pack for my camera. Have you try it?
Do you have any information on battery life? ex. Full power last 2 hours
Same question
Hello Sam, is the ML60 good outdoor in broad day light?
Can u please suggest a good portable godox light for outdoor photography for modeling shoot.!
I love beans ...seriously another cracking review buddy how can some numpty give this a thumbs down in less time than it take to watch it this is a big 👍 plus it has a bag off to buy one I think !
Thanks man! 🙏🏻🤩 Ah thanks you legend! Yes, a bag is always a bonus!! 💪🏻🎥
Sweet man. It really is awesome. You won’t regret that purchase. Thanks for watching man 🙏🏻🤩👌🏻
I have the remote a6 and the ml 60 but i cannot use the remote whoever i set both of them same channel and same category , please help my
Can you use umbrella while the reflector attached?
Can we use a vmount battery instead?
Ooooo good question. There are some options that you could plug into the power input of the light. Just make sure that the output of those batteries match the input of the light 🙏🏻
Hi,, can it be used as a strobe ( taking photo )? Thanks!
Hi @Sam Holland. Just bought the dual batts but can't figure out how to charge them.
There should be a charger that comes with them if you bought the ones in the link? 🎥
@@SamHolland oh I see. I already bought one before seeing this. I just purcchased the charger separately. I thought the ones you attached to the handle can also charge the batteries. hahaha. I was wrong
Hi Sam-what light did you use for this video?
Hi Bobby. I used the Godox SL150ii for this video. Thanks for watching 😃🙏🏻🎥
@@SamHolland thanks Sam. Just purchased the sl200 mkii
That’s awesome! 🤩 you’ll love that!
Do you know if owners of the SL150 can buy the upgraded fan from Godox? I swapped out mine for a quieter one but, it doesn't cool enough when using a soft box at 100%.
Hi Mark. I’m not sure of that to be honest. Might be worth contacting Godox directly about that one. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥
Godox ML60 VS SL60W?Which light should I choose? and why?
It all depends on your needs but I would say that the ML60 is more versatile. Batteries and portable. BUT it doesn’t have a full sized Bowen’s mount. They do a softbox for it but if you want to use accessories you already own, you’ll have to purchase the adapter. All explained in the video 🙏🏻🎥
Hi I come across your channel cuz of this video. I’m a newb with led lamps.. can I ask you a question. Doses the 60’ soft box get the job done? I’m thinking of buying this or Forza and was wondering if I would go for the 90 softbox. (Or both.) But can the light handle the bigger softboxes?
Hi thanks for watching. Yeh the 60cm box is fine. I have a comparison video on the channel if you want to check that out. That might help. 🙏🏻🤩🎥
… also… the bigger boxes will give a slightly softer look but the smaller ones are still fine for UA-cam if you get nice and close
