I personally think with a softbox there’s little to no difference. Either way it saves you from a huge headache of having to color grade without controlled lighting
Sanath Kumar Naibhi you should buy daylight bulbs and switch you camera white balance to 5500 kelvin. You will notice a huge difference when color grading
Love love love your lighting setup videos. I recently got the Godox SL60W with an Aputure Light Dome Mini II and I love it. I don't have much space to film so this setup works well for me. Love your videos mate!
For a mixed lighting situation like in the first set (window light plus keylight) do you think the VL150 would be enough? I mainly will use my keylight for indoor sets, but I want to also use mixed lighting.
I just bought three of these, only received one so far...B&H is really backed up. It is mostly for studio use but I was wondering how long the VL200 would last on V-Mount Batteries - Have you done any tests ?
Sidney did you try VL200 vs VL300? On paper with reflector at 1m, they say 75,000 lux for VL200 and 77,000 lux for VL300. For naked bulb 7800 lux and 10800 lux. Do you find these numbers accurate? I'm puzzled by the fact that with a reflector the numbers are soooo close. Seems impossible.
The tightening knob has REALLY grown on me. I found that I never really needed to tighten too much and I have HUGE soft boxes, but it gets tight enough just with my skinny boy wrists! lol
Impressive for sure. Produces a lot more light for less money. I'm left wondering about consistency though. I know that was an issue with the entry level Godox lights, where Aputure is known for having that consistency.
Can’t decide whether I should buy vl150 or vl200. They say more is better, for sure, but mostly for my needs the vl150 is bright enough 😅 Thinking whether the vl200 has enough juice the light up a wedding dance floor for video, for example.
Great side-by-side tests next to the window. I could tell the Aputure from the Godox instantly without seeing the text below because all of the Aputure lights I've tried run a bit warmer than their advertised Kelvin value. My Godox VL150 actually runs closer to the advertised Kelvin value than my Aputure 300d Mark ii. That said, I really kind of like Aputure's warmer light. The Godox's price to value proposition is pretty compelling, though...........
Godox is killing it these days. I own the vl150. Just got it two weeks ago. Saving for my vl200 now. Goal is to have it by the end of October. Extremely quiet and bright.
Good info! When I get the funds, I'm going to upgrade to a legit Bowens mount light kit. I'm going to stick with one brand so I can use one remote for multiple lights. I'm leaning towards Godox at the moment. This is mostly because of the price, but also because my wife is a photographer and Godox also makes the flashes and triggers for her work.
I just ordered the godox vl 200 for 350. Upgrading from my sl60. The 120d seems like a great key light. Maybe in the future. Friend of mine has the 300 and 600d. Those things are powerful lol
ooooh weeeee....that vfx with the light was 👌 Godox is trying to give Aputure a run for their money with the lights and mobile app. The godox light looks like a solid "affordable" alternative if if the color was off by a bit. Great comparison. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
First off, I am way late. Second off......wow I love this 80's feel music. Really screams Epidemic.....they always have the best 80's feel music. Thirdly you got the rolling stand! That is on my list to get asap. fourthly.......your dancing on those lighting videos....brings me back to setting up a mobile studio. Great video as always bro!
Really hoping Godox upgrades the SL60W to a VL60 with quieter fan, battery option and case included. Even better would be if it comes in at around $250
Well that’s a flash. This is a constant led light. The 400pro does have an led modeling light, but not nearly as bright as the lights compared here. The 400pro is really for still photography, while this one’s primarily for video. You can use a constant light for stills, but with far less power and motion-stopping ability.
I guessed right, sorta feels like a winning moment 😉 😉 lol 😂..... I can 💭 dream , great video and awesome light that looks real good over by the window, with the aputure, the godox looks dope as well after you bring the brightness down, having the option to adjust it down to where aputure is at 100% seems pretty cool. But I’m sure aputure has a light that’s comparable to the godox it just might cost more.
i am really in love with your videos and learn alot from u and Gordox is pretty lit and more stronger but for ashort budget or beginner like me i pefer aputure 120😁 🔥🔥🔥 takecare💞💞💞
Great comparison man, I feel that the skin tone actually looks better with the Godox. The Aputure always has had a slight green tint to my eye and this showed that perfectly. Aputure is great but overrated, Godox ftw! Also way more output and still way cheaper😍
The godox maybe be brighter and cheaper, but the Aputure renders skintone much better I feel. I mean look at your own side by side comparison. Your skin is better on the aputure, however budget is always the deciding factor
No negative vibes intended, but It should be noted that this is an unfair comparison. The VL200 has an output on par with the Aputure 300D. The VL150 is the correct light to compare to the 120D II. The VL150 is significantly smaller than the VL200, it's controller is half the size of the VL200 and not as unwieldy when you put it next to the 300D's controller! So comparing apples to apples negates any "downsides" you mention I think. I like your practical approach, you should grab a VL150 and compare it to the 120D II for us :)
Which light did you think is better...the Aputure 120DII or Godox VL200?
Godox is better to me. It’s muuuuuch brighter and less expensive by far. Doesn’t make sense to even purchase the Aputure at this point to me.
Godox
I personally think with a softbox there’s little to no difference. Either way it saves you from a huge headache of having to color grade without controlled lighting
I think both are way better than the led bulbs used in house lighting which I use for my videos😀
Sanath Kumar Naibhi you should buy daylight bulbs and switch you camera white balance to 5500 kelvin. You will notice a huge difference when color grading
I got this unit and I'm really happy with the output I'm getting from this light.
Aw man. Now I want one. I love the brightness that comes from it. Great video!
Thanks so much!
Love love love your lighting setup videos. I recently got the Godox SL60W with an Aputure Light Dome Mini II and I love it. I don't have much space to film so this setup works well for me. Love your videos mate!
Cheers!
many thanks wich do you like more Apture or Godox
Is it worth the jump from the v150 or is it just power gains... although I love ❤️ power
For a mixed lighting situation like in the first set (window light plus keylight) do you think the VL150 would be enough? I mainly will use my keylight for indoor sets, but I want to also use mixed lighting.
Been on the fence with this one. Still so darn torn
I just bought three of these, only received one so far...B&H is really backed up. It is mostly for studio use but I was wondering how long the VL200 would last on V-Mount Batteries - Have you done any tests ?
Oooo this Godox light looks pretty good!
Just curious about how you feel about these lights 18 months on - which would you recommend - the Aputure 120d II or the Godox VL200?
Thanks, video is really useful 🐺🙏.
Does the GODOX work also with one v mount battery only?
can you still plug one battery and still get it working?
Hey man, good video. Do you know how to change the white balance on Godox VL200?
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT BATTERY PACK HE USES FOR THE LIGHT?????
Awesome review! Thanks! I’d love to see the Godox vs Neewer 200Ws!
OoOoh! Good suggestion! Thanks for watching!
Can you do a 1 year review update on the VL200?
Thanks for the video. Looks like an interesting light. I have godox SL60W I want to upgrade.
Looks pretty solid! I feel like a comparison to a aputure 300d would be more of a fair fight

I have been following the godox lights and they seem to be getting alot better
Impressive for sure. Produces a lot more light for less money. I'm left wondering about consistency though. I know that was an issue with the entry level Godox lights, where Aputure is known for having that consistency.
Yeah, that’s a good point. Aputure has the track record, so we’ll see how Godox does in the future!
Can’t decide whether I should buy vl150 or vl200. They say more is better, for sure, but mostly for my needs the vl150 is bright enough 😅 Thinking whether the vl200 has enough juice the light up a wedding dance floor for video, for example.
Your funny thats why I subscribed 😂

Guess who has your light now ? 😉 Thanks for this light Sidney!
Great work bruh!, become fan of ur dance in recent times🤣🤣🤣
Haha! Glad to entertain you!
Thanks for watching!
@@SidneyDiongzon The dance are quite nice indeed :D
Godox is killing it these days. I own the vl150. Just got it two weeks ago. Saving for my vl200 now. Goal is to have it by the end of October. Extremely quiet and bright.
price is wild but HIGHKEY love the aesthetic in your casa!!!!
Thanks so much!
Nice new intro; the Godox seems way much brighter !
Right!?? Thanks for watching!

They’re pretty awesome! Thanks for watching!
That’s a powerful light. Awesome review brotha
It surprised me how bright it was!
Thanks for watching!
The Nylon straps are solid, I have used it for over a year now. But I have not done it with Vmounts
I just ordered the godox vl 200 for 350. Upgrading from my sl60. The 120d seems like a great key light. Maybe in the future. Friend of mine has the 300 and 600d. Those things are powerful lol
ooooh weeeee....that vfx with the light was 👌
Godox is trying to give Aputure a run for their money with the lights and mobile app. The godox light looks like a solid "affordable" alternative if if the color was off by a bit. Great comparison. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Haha! Glad you enjoyed!
Good video just found this channel subscrbed and enjoying it so far
Awesome, thank you!
You should title this series “Reviews without Shoes”
sidney,
is the color using the aputure more warmer than the godox?
It does seem like it right?
@@SidneyDiongzon yeah i think it is, is that because the godox is just brighter? or maybe the light itself
First off, I am way late. Second off......wow I love this 80's feel music. Really screams Epidemic.....they always have the best 80's feel music. Thirdly you got the rolling stand!

Thanks my dude! Now next time DON'T BE LATE! jk :)
Nice Edit I like your Videos
Glad you like them!
Really hoping Godox upgrades the SL60W to a VL60 with quieter fan, battery option and case included. Even better would be if it comes in at around $250
Godox will have updated version of SL60W soon . ( In a month or two),. with quiter fan and battery.
@@ericwong1545 Fantastic! Great news. Look forward to seeing your review
@@NeilEvery LOL， I don't do reviews ,but I am sure there will be a lot of review coming after it's release.
I have the vl150 and love it, highly recommend it over the 120d mii
Thanks for watching!
I have the ad400 pro. What's the difference?

please keep your music volume more even with your voice during transitions
Another light that is unavailable. What’s up with that? Can’t find Aputure 120d, 120d mark II, this godox one. So frustrating.
Fast forward to next month for the Godox SD (Sidney Diongzon) Suit Light...
It better happen!!!
The dance is backkkk
Bahahaha!
I don’t need to borrow this one, 😜 I have lighting. Thanks for the great video👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Always open to budget friendly options.
It’s pretty awesome!
Can you compare this to the Godox FV200?
Maybe one day!
Sandbags are your friend. Safety first said the boom arm that wracked my head. 👍
Ouch! Hit me too before I got sandbags
I need a c stand with wheels. I need a c stand with wheels.
They're awesome dude!!!
i am really in love with your videos and learn alot from u and Gordox is pretty lit and more stronger but for ashort budget or beginner like me i pefer aputure 120😁 🔥🔥🔥 takecare💞💞💞

你的视频很赞
Niiiiiice 👌👌👌👌
Cool 😎👍
Thanks for watching!
Godox is total winner!
Color more accurate, higher power output, best price, very low noise fan, better mount options
The godox maybe be brighter and cheaper, but the Aputure renders skintone much better I feel. I mean look at your own side by side comparison. Your skin is better on the aputure, however budget is always the deciding factor
I noticed this too 🤯
No negative vibes intended, but It should be noted that this is an unfair comparison. The VL200 has an output on par with the Aputure 300D. The VL150 is the correct light to compare to the 120D II.

So comparing apples to apples negates any "downsides" you mention I think. I like your practical approach, you should grab a VL150 and compare it to the 120D II for us :)
Price blew my mind 😂
Def more affordable than the 120DIII though
I just ordered the VL-300 and I'm excited. More power than the Aputure 300 for a budget price. Can't lose.
I don't think this is a budget light well I think it's less expensible like the overpriced aperture
I know it’s weird but Godox is actually pronounced as “god-ox” instead of “go-dox” cause the mandarin name is 神牛 which literally means God Ox. 🤔
Arissa & Dawn nope. They want it pronounced Go-dox
VL200 on sale for $350 now. No brainer
vl150 would be a better comparison
Star war stuff
You leave the most random comments bro
Okay bud 😂
Blew your mind? Well, you’re supposed plug it into the mains, not your head!
$500 ain’t budget 😩
are you lazy to go outside and test it ?
Okayyy
They totally copied aputure with the yellow fan!
Copying huh? Wow...
For an extra $200 bucks I'd rather fork it out to Aputure.
Yeah? What’s your reason?
For $200 more you have a c-stand and a 38" softbox or a V-mount battery.
If you are on a budget there is no reason to buy the more expensive option. Save your money and buy two...:-) apparently godox, is playing for keeps.
