Would be great to get a full comparison with the cheap aputure and godox competitors.
Yeah, I agree
No point…they’re the same light
The footage of Alex is always great. He looks so enthused each and every time.
Alex, if they are holding you hostage, blink S.O.S and we will send someone to save you.
What is the application/approval process to subscribe to your youtube channel since you guys are at max capacity? how long is the waiting list?
I'm sorry man, but it seems like you're going to have to wait until the next cycle. It took me a few months to get in myself. Best of luck!
I believe the official process is to call your mother or other relative who wants to hear from you and then forget this channel and content ever happened. I wish I could, but it's too late for me. Learn from my mistakes.
I find this particular set of lights very convenient considering the price. I can just magine the various types of shots I can achieve with just these two lights. Thanks for this video. This is a "no bs" straight to the point channel. I love it. Keep them coming.
Thanks for making this video. You motivated me to I pick up a 120D today. I couldn't believe how bright this thing is! I've got a week to play around with it before I get to use it on a shoot. fun fun fun. I'm going to use a Yongnuo YNLUX 100 in the array too. You should check one out. It's an absolutely incredible light for $100 USD.
Thanks for making this video - very helpful and entertaining.
there's some new affordable lights that perform well aaaaand you guys are presenting them...? SmallRig hopefully has their production increased already
😎🍿 exactly what I was looking for ✔️
keep up the great work 🍀
How are they compared to the Amaran 100/200Ds in both output and build quality? It seems like smallrig really did a good work here
Very curious about this as well!
they basically copied the Amaran series!
for me this is already a win as it comes with a travel case
One thing i don’t think anybody realizes…the Amaran, this, and the Godox, etc…they’re all the same light made by the same Chinese manufacturer. Just rebranded and housed differently. They’re 99.9% the exact same light
@@neverenoughadventure um... it's China.
YES!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
How is the fan noise?
Very cool review!
Dispersion of the light with the cone? How drastic is the falloff when going to the edges?
I really enjoyed this video ! Since I can’t subscribe I’m gonna go like Lewis Potts videos again out of respect 😂
Great review, decent lights, I'd still go with Aputure given the choice, because I think they have a better overall eco-system and will push lighting technology better, but these seem pretty solid too.
Would you recommend the 120 watt over the new 220?
I’m dying to know what your lighting setup was for the indoor shot at 3:00. Would really appreciate it!
How often do you gel a key light?
I think you missed one test: Throwing the lights from off the roof. I'm sad now... :(
That only happens with c stands though
@@Visethelegend We need to expand...
Only happens if you are not paid to test the product and only allowed to say goodie goodies.
I have $500 to spend on a midrange, preferably bicolor, bowens mount light. I have the rc120d and like it but want something with more punch if I have to shoot outdoors or against harsh natural light. What should I get?
I just read that they have an rc220 model now that's 260 watts with almost 100,000 lux on the 5600k. I'm curious how it compares to other similarly priced or more expensive models.
have you seen the Jinbei EFD 500 ? 500 watts for 800euro (at the moment 750€) that light is insane
at 5:30 you address a big issue with most COB lights: They are awkwardly balanced even without modifiers attached. Why don't the manufacturers attach the mounting part further forward on the light 's body, so that there would be some sort of balance when a modifier is attached
I have some inexpensive lights similar to these that did not come with cases. If anyone could point me towards a good, low cost solution for transporting my lights in something other than their original packaging, I'd appreciate it. As an aside - I learned that the rolling case that a pop-up EZ-UP awning comes with is a good fit for my stands and c stand masts. I shove the thing full, sip it up and roll it out the door. You can buy an entire awning for less than a c-stand bag, although it won't hold the bases.
What stands were you using for those lights? They look very well built and would like to get them along with the lights themselves.
Matthews black aluminum combo. I love them so much
Sorry, but I can't unsubscribe this amazing channel.
Those look a lot like my Aputures, like event the bag is identical except for the logo. Wonder if Aputure is making them for Smallrig, kind of like Godox/Flashpoint
Plot twists..nope…all 4 are buying the same light from the same Chinese manufacturer
What is the output?
twin bro of the amaran. 😄
The rib design for a softbox is brilliant. With the way this light is clearly targeted for accessibility to the masses I'm glad someone is thinking of people who might not have the experience, space or time to set up a traditional softbox.
By the way, this is a very random question but what is the name of the music you always use for the outros? I've never seen a channel that so perfectly matches the music with the tone of what's being said quite like your outro "don't subscribe" messages! If it's on a stock site I'd love to hear it just so I can finally get it out of my head.
Thanks!! I recorded it on my electric piano haha
Must be huge markup on the lighting sector, or else smallrig wouldn't bother making clones of aputures
Go to Alibaba and you’ll see exactly how huge the markup is. They’re all getting the same light manufactured in China and rebranding it
@@2gunzfilms425 but same manufacturer does not mean same design or exact same components. They manufacture according to each company's needs
Identical to the Amaran lights.
Thanks for the review but before the next one can you mow your lawn and weed your yard?
What lens are you being filmed with up close? Laowa 12mm?
Yes
What about noise?
Unfortunately in South Africa the RC120D is $220 excluding shipping and import taxes and delivery fees and then it still gets held up at the post office for years. South Africa sucks and everything is expensive lol. I can get the Godox SL60 for $220 though.... but I'll stick to my $10 chinese strip lights and complain about it haha!
I'm gonna be honest, no light looked pretty dope. I really do want one of those "nd curtains" the guys at fulltime filmaker use from time to time.
Hi Little new to video , Just a question is is better to have a Bi-Colour light or buy a Daylight version and gel when needed?
Just get a daylight. They are stronger than bi-color of the same wattage and you will not use tungsten as much as you think you will.
@@VicLabs How do you gell it when using a softbox?
how do you like the Lantern modifier they offer?
Love it
This is literally an Amaran 100d with slightly different materials and a different label haha
I like those light stands your using what’s the brand?
Matthews they rock!
@@EpicLightMedia Thanks!
It look exactly like the Aputure amaran 100d.
I always like the ending words from you guys. you should make a merch on that. " Unsubscribe" or "Do not subscribe"
im pretty sure RC stands for remote control but idk if it is yet becuase i havnt watched the whole video yet lol
I'll admit, I haven't watched the whole thing yet so I don't know if you've mentioned it.
Edit: oooh v-mount plate, I'm sold.
These are screaming "Hey Aputure, can I copy your homework?"
"Yeah just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied"
They're almost identical to the Amaran 100d/100x - only, I'd love if the Amaran lights came with cases!
I think I'm going to buy these lights, so practical, but one question, do they come with the battery? that wasn't clear, i believe that you will need to buy the modifiers apart, right?
They don't come with a V-Mount battery. Only the battery plate.
The battery it’s not included. Also the v mount it’s sold separately. Right now only BH include it free but it cost $49.
@@marquism1799 i see, still a god price for a semi pro light
@@GTphotofilm not bad at all
Stop the violence on the lights 😂
If you could only choose 1 light for a movie gig. What would you choose ?
Aputure 1200D
What does a ballast on lights do?
Power the lights.
@@mrshaheedmalik yeah I get that, but what makes a ballast different from a power supply? Because why not call it a power supply if that’s what it is?
@@toregresdal It comes from HMI lighting where the ballast is a fairly complex piece of kit. When people use the term with LED lights it really just means the controller and Power supply are separated from the head - There's probably a cooling advantage to this, which translates to a fan noise advantage in real-world use) For pro use, this also helps reduce weight up high and may make it easier to access the controller by allowing you to have it at ground level.
Will you mentor me if I come out and mow your lawn????? And weed? And RC maybe means Radio Controlled? Just a guess.
Sure! Lots of work to do back there
1:34 I saw that, see guys, this is why you shouldn't subscribe to epic light media... hahaha
On a serious note though, I find it a little weird that you avoided mentioning the aputure amaran line since these small rig lights are basically identical except for a couple features. They are almost exactly the same price, and the modifiers are even a little more expensive. If you had to give the main differences and advantages of these lights vs the amarans would they mainly be the aluminum base and the fact that you can power these with a V-mount? The V-mount attachment alone would be enough to win me over, the only reason I wouldn't buy these is that I already own aputure lights and using the sidus link with all of them makes it hard to justify switching.
Hey man, Can you give me a suggest , if you don't have any light. which one will u buy ( amaran / small rig
@@Slingshot4FunTW I have no hands on experience with the small rig light, I own an amaran100x and am very happy with it, in fact I’ll be buying an amaran 200xsoon
Amaran 100d 100x without Sidus Link? :(
Can you unbox a lawnmower and mow your backyard?
I don’t think I have time for that right now. Want to come over and help?
@@EpicLightMedia All-inclusive paid trip? Sign me up.
I finally subscribed, just for the sake of disobedience.
I don't get paid to make films (I'm not very good so it's expected). generally I'm gorilla shooting. So lights are not really an option. How would you film without lights?
We do all the time for b roll unless the shot needs lights. It’s all about shape and using whatever tools needed to get the job done
You really should have measured and reported colour accuracy.
Is that man Pedro Pascal?
Guys i am really sorry..i subscribed😔😔How many years is my sentence
thought this was an April fools joke of a bunch of aputure equipment with the small rig logo on it.
Do some damn yardwork!
Watching you unbox in the yard gives me an odd anxiety that I don’t fully understand.
As far as the viewer is concerned - there is no fridge. Or as Yoda would say - "fridge not there is"
i couldn’t say “happy” with the build quality when that tilt handle is made of plastic. Those dont survive a film set.
I can’t believe how they ‘’copied’’ Aputure stuff. Looks almost identical. From the case, the light and the accessories.
They didn’t copy…they just went to the exact same Chinese manufacturer Godox went to….just happens Aputure buys their lights from that same manufacturer.

I unsubscribed once, but just to be sure I hit the button again
first time un-subscribing to this channel. looking forward to doing it again.
...anyone else feel like they one-to-one copied their Packaging from Aputure?😅
I'll take the subscribers! Please leave a feedback though cause idk what to do
LAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOEEEESSSS....UNSUBSCIBLING !!!!
i am you @epic light media. it's uncomfortable, but...I'm you in Germany....not all video-ish n shit...I just look like I'm 100% your little brother.........fucking creepy. What's up with that lolz....
Oh wow!!!! Good to know! Hahaha
At this rate I genuinely subscribe and unsubscribe at least twice a month from you guys
Cheap? ummm nope
Nice try! Obviously you don't want us to subscribe cause you have information you don't want us finding out about. Pft! Well too bad!
I am unsubscribing just do to the lack of weed control. 😙
