I'm going to be a TikTok star, my shuffle dancing skills are beyond this world.
Dude, that was a FUUUNY bit right there!!! 🤣 👍
I must admit that was HILARIOUS! 😂
god bless you @iphonedo
These outtakes make your videos more fun than they was been for.
Aaand the new intro, I want him dancing to it
Raise your hand if you didn't know that Gerald sat on a stool while recording these videos. Always thought he was standing lol
I'm in shock...
Damn.... that actually weirded me out... for whatever reason I don’t know.
@@andreasbuder4417 That’s because the volume of his content make us all feel he sits on the most comfortable office chair🤣
Crazy, because Dave2D seems like he is sitting on a stool but actually standing lol
Spoiler: Gerald's actually standing on the world's smallest stool.
I'm Gerald Undone and I anamorphically squeeze to please.
Please don’t let this one flop
Great review! I might need to rent this off you for a project.
Nailed it again, both entertaining and helpful!
Gerald officially has the studio light that was left behind by Sauron from Lord of the Rings.
You clearly have not seen the Arri 50k HMI
Your reviews are full of information, not a second wasted, very rare in youtube.
I love the humor. It makes the video not only informative but now super entising cause the mix of other creators makes it that much funnier.
Outtakes are an awesome touch to the videos. Great review as always.
Thanks Gerald! Great content, as always!
Loved the outtakes! 🤓😝
Great review! WOW POWER !!!
Loved the video and loved the intro as well. Thanks for the share. :)
Great review as always, got a unit already iso 100 / f/22 1/640sec for pack shots its a beatful bright monster of sunlight power. Very happy so far.
Fantastic Gerald. 👍
Another great video. Thanks
600D! WOW! Great review Gerald!!!
Yooooo, finally. Love the intro.
This thing is so sick❤️ apurture makes great stuff. Gerald kills it as usual😁
Yes! That intro remix is fire
I've been waiting for this light!
This was by far one of my favorite videos by you. While I have no use for this light (way out of my price range), this was hilarious to watch. Please add more of these comedic touches to your videos (and the cameos), I love it!!! Especially blowing out iPhonedo! LOL And yes, thank you for the explanation of the teleprompter remote...it always did give me pause...
Amazing Gerald, I like your sense of humor and it is funny to watch your videos of products that I will never buy. Thank you.
Epic outtakes on this one! Also, thanks for explaining the hand between the legs move. I felt a little awkward watching it at first... LOL
I have no business buying such an expensive light but I love your vids and your character man so I watch it anyway ;)
Thank you Gerald. Next commercial, I"m thinking I'll pick this up!
One of the best videos you've made. I really enjoyed it. 😂😂😂
Great review!! Thanks for your knowledge!
Thank you! 🙏
@@geraldundone Can you guys make a video showing what batteries will power this monster to its full 100% power?
Wow, Epic Light Media is here, I LOVE your videos so much!!!!!!!!!!
I love the added goofs recently! Keep it up!
I love that you're letting your personality shine more of late!
That light is so fire. Great job, good work, and congrats on the in-house solar generator
Great Review - WANT THAT LIGHT!
🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t expect the comedy - such an entertaining yet thorough review. Thanks for making fun videos!
stopping by saying hey and thank you so much!
Best opening! Nice!
Yes the gearald undone remix in the intro!!
That intro! Nice 👍🏽
Look, mom! I’m in a Gerald Undone video! 😱😭 Love Faruk and Jesse’s cameos. 😂
Good work Omar and Congrats for your cameo! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@elhadjindiaye1217 Thank you so much!
I had no idea you sat behind that table. Thought you were standing. My world has been turned upside down
I would love ANY aperture light, love the video bro cheers!!
Great walkthrough, thanks so much! Next time you do a fan noise test I would love if you could boost the audio for us; I boosted it my end and then almost blew my ears off when you started talking again. Just a thought. Thanks again for doing this!
Good shit! The prompter remote cracked me up! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂😂
This one was both helpful And entertaining, even at 1.0x!
Also, love that you used the Gerald Undone cover track for the opener, thusly making it canon 😏
Rolling blackouts reported across the country ...
Canada: GERALD!!!
Ahahaha, that was so creative - with iPhonedo and Jesse Driftwood.
Excited for the 100d, 100x, 200d, 200x reviews.
Wow, its so interesting, that you begin to insert more entertainment parts into your video ;)
First I was a bit irritated, but I like it !! 🙂
Great review as always. This is a very cool light. We film slow motion in 1000-2000fps and light is ALWAYS a problem so the 300 is just not enough for some situations. However the 600 seems really heavy and I can imagine that the batteries does not last very long on full power.
Intro suggestion: Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!
Totally gonna buy it =)
The original song was already stuck in my head... now you go and make this song and get it “stucker” 😉😉😉 thanks Master G....
This new into was sooo good 🤓🤓🤓
Superb intro
Best
Video
Of
2020!
Gerald Mom: GEERRRRALD what are you doing in the bathroom so long!
Gerald: IM ADJUSTING MY TELEPROMPTER MOM!
Outtakes were everything!!
Great thorough review, G. This is going to be a great light for so many people who can't afford HMIs. I would say, that if you plan on further exploring this light, to test it against an Arri M18. or Arri M8. If you go to Arri's photometrics, you will see that with a 16º spot, the M18 does same LUX at 6m as the 600d does at 3 with the fresnel spotted. The M8 accomplishes the same output as the 600d with a matching 15º spot at 4m. Still a little bit ahead. However, here is the big difference. When it comes to using big sources for shaped light (not diffused), the HMIs being a single source have a very different fall off than COB LED. The inverse square law weirdly does not apply to COB LED (you can google the arguments for this). The readers digest version is basically high powered COBs are AMAZING for diffused light sources, but simply can't compete to the quality of light that HMIs produce. So saying it's as bright as the sun is a bit of a misnomer. To actually emulate the parallel beams of the sun, we minimally need an M9 (9K), but most often need an 18K. Beam size is a huge factor in light quality beyond just light output. I say this as a working gaffer who's used every light on the planet several times over - the physics of it never seem to change.
That all said, I'm a huge fan of COB lights (owning a couple myself), and they are revolutionizing the business. The one big advantage is heat. You cant stand a meter or two in front of an M8 or M18 (800w & 1800w respectively) for very long without melting your clothing (seen it happen on a few occasions!). The fact that people can work around a 600d without burn danger is a very good reason to buy COB lights. Not to mention that when boxed with diffusion, it easily replaces the much more expensive K5600 Joker 800 HMI. All this to say that I'm not writing this to chime in with my 2 cents to stroke my ego - but more to ask you to do a video comparing COB to HMI (if you can get your hands on some). I think you would make the best video out there and open up the technical differences to users. As always, bravo for an informative and entertaining video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
In terms of real world gaffer usage check out Andrew lock on his channel Gaffer and Gear. I'm sure he'll soon have the 600d to do a review and he'll definitely compare it to some HMI's as well as the forza 500 he uses regularly
@@mikkelwarrer4531 In fact, Luke Seerveld did just that test - against a Joker 800, and I gotta say - the Aputure 600 performs impressively well in terms of throw, & fall off. Much better than I had anticipated. Shadows aren't as sharp as the Joker, but only by a bit. This light is gonna be everywhere now.
You are the best. Greetings from Siberia
That new intro song is awesome.
Love the new intro song version
Jesse Driftwood cameo was the greatest thing I've seen today! I was not prepared.
i enjoyed this
Yes. That intro song, please keep it
Beast review for a beast light.
You, Matt day & Grainy days just posted a video.... My day just went from 1 to 100.000 lux
Cool!✌️
props to the extra humor =)
Love the outtakes lmao 😂
This light is awesome
Oh man this is gonna make my MMS messages look so good.
Looking forward to using this in my big Elinchrom Litemotiv para. Hope it doesn't burst into ashes
This level of collaboration is clever. Much better than 2008 youtube.
Thanks for giving it a decent overview. I'm a pretty big fan of the 300d ii, so was glad to see this. My only complaint with them has been the flimsy AC plug end, which eventually tore away from the cable housing. I just cut off and replaced with a hospital grade. Does the plug for the 600d feel similar?
Gerald Outdone yourself .... love your reviews ! And playing back the review at 75% I get 25% more value .... brilliant !!! Oh, and most important and bottomline, I absolutely trust your reviews especially when considering some of these higher dollar investments. Thanks !!!!!
Still freaking loving that remix
Thank god for Apiture!! I needed two lights to use for natural lighting through windows for narrative film making. My only options looked like the Arri 2500, which costs a whopping $5,000 per light!! Can’t really afford to pay $10,000 for two lights. But It honestly looks like the 600D is good enough to do the job, at less than half the price of 1 2500 Arri HMI light. Thanks for the detailed review!! Looks like I’m getting two 600D’s!!!
Here comes the sun. Shooting at f/7.1. Let's get Undone. And have some fun.
Do do do do dooo.
More like f:e-lev-un...
Lmao I'm loving these comedy skits. Please do more!
Best.Cameo.Ever.
I was picking up on a bit of Westworld glitching in that last bloop studder.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂 when did we get a theme song for the intro!! Love it
Check his community tab for the full version! It's soo good!
@@SamuelPeterr bet thanks
Yea, I had that same problem moving the rods around too
i’m super impressed with the power cord/box...it looks super heavy duty haha
i like your new introo 😂
Hi Gerald, great vid! I may put in a RTO one of these up for a specific use case - my college is experimenting with 360 content - we have a 'blue room ' built that's entirely covered in blue fabric so we can key out the background of a 360 livestream video. The issue of course is getting even lighting in that rectangular room without the key-destroying shadows. I'm hoping a light like this with that modifier would be able to mount directly above the 360pro (where the black void circle is when streaming) to somewhat hide the light and provide enough light to fill the room without having other ugly led panels etc. in the frame. What do you think?
I love this. I remember burning my flesh on old tungsten studio lights and it’s crazy that LED lights can be this bright. The safety benefits alone are worth the cost.
Plus you could make a sweet bat signal with it.
Totally! Although, this one does still get pretty warm itself when at 100% intensity. If you stand in front of it, it feels like the sun on your back. But you're safe as long as you don't touch the chip.
@@geraldundone Hi, my friend which one you recommend aputure LS 600x pro bi color or aputure ls 600d pro light storm? Thank you.
Nice intro!
First Epic Light Media, and now you.
I Love it
Can you do a outdoor test with the Aputure 600D pro
600D pro vs Sun
I've never clicked on a video so quickly.
That new theme song took me by surprise
It's getting scary... Every time I'm gaining interest in a product, Gerald drops a video the same day.😳
Hey Gerald, I can't find a CRI rating for the Westcott FJ400 strobe anywhere on youtube or the internet or on the B&H Q and A section. Could you get it undone? Maybe compare it to some of the similar godox strobes?
This intro, more like this please.
"Here comes the product review, doo doo doo dooo, here comes Gerald Undone, and I say it's all bright."
Nice change in intro
Nice. Intro
Hey Gerald, my studio is touch on the dark side, I think London is about the right distant to use the 600d as a fill...mind pointing it this way?
audio sounds a little funky gerald, but great review as always
