(Intellytech) just throwing out a setup tip. For the grid, let it stick out by about half an inch. It fits much better that way and won’t be so snug.
Love the review, thank you so much Rob!!!
Some of the best filmmaker content on the web. Thanks man and keep it up!
I just got my Intellytech 8fc Litecloth 3.0 yesterday, it’s pretty incredible.
Thank you for the video, as always, very insightful. What I wanted to mention was how awesome the background design for that show is!
Thanks for being such an inspiration. Love your work and the educational videos. It helps so much! Hope one day you will do a workshop, I'd be there 100%.
Hats off bro. Your videos about lights are way better than mine ever were. :)
Thanks again, bro! Couldn’t be happier with the new set up 🎃
That latest episode looks way better.
I would be extremely interested in hearing more about how you rig the types of lights you use. As someone working to get out of the beginner phase these lights seem fantastic but it's intimidating when you're unsure of all the accessories and stands/boom arms you need to truly maximize it's potential. Nonetheless, love your to the point no bs videos man.
You can see most of the ways to rig something like this in the video… goal post (2 combos, 2 Big Ben clamps, speed rail), a combo stand and a junior boom arm, a menace arm kit (probably the Matthew’s maxi boom would be best), wall spreaders, overhead grid (if you’re in a studio or can make one), or you can even drill a nail-on plate into a ceiling.
Most of the rigging equipment for a light this heavy is going to be fairly expensive, just be aware. If you’re working with a unit like this it may be best to hire a professional gaffer and just rent their kit for rigging for a day
When you're in the beginner phase, normal light stands/c-stands are just fine. Once you start working with more experienced crews (mainly KG/gaffers), you'll start to learn a bunch of different rigging methods depending on the situation.
You'd need to be on set working with actual crews. Can't UA-cam video your way through rigging.
Welch's just hit different! LOL
I have the mega 6 , absolutely the best location key light for interviews . North facing window in a box ..
Any issues with output. I have a 600x but I am tempted on getting one of these.
@@RayValdezPhotography How do you mean ? Its pretty powerful
This or the F22c? Looking at getting something new soon. Thanks.
Thank you for this review! I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have a professional DP's perspective on anything gear related via UA-cam. Just curious- is that a Matthews Mombo Combo stand at 2:01 in the video?
Not a Mombo, just a regular 3-stage Combo :)
My next light purchase.
Hey Robert...in one of your videos you had the Davinci resolve editor keyboard in a tray that you could tuck under the desk. What tray was that may I ask? Can't seem to find anything that fits the editor keyboard size..plus I have a kind of curved desk
I think this is what you're referring to... amzn.to/47gMm1C
That setup was from a few years ago, I can't quite remember if the Editor keyboard fits in the tray or if I just had a regular keyboard.
@@robchado thank you brother. I just ordered the curved desk version. Many thanks 🙏
Have you had any instances where you utilized 2 of these lights for a shoot?
Many times. I’ve used two stacked together or as two separate keys.
Nice one, What more budget friendly version of these would anybody recommend? There are apparently several brands I believe like Falcon eyes, Good and Amaran's... These seem amazing but 1800.00 seems a little steep even though I am sure it is probably worth it... Thanks..
All are good budget options but you'll probably notice a stark difference in build quality. I also believe Intellytech offer the largest sizes when needed. If you're looking for something more budget friendly, check out the LC-160 2.0, another small light I frequently use when solo operating.
Hey, have you had any experience with Amaran's 100/200D?
I have a bunch of 200d's I mostly use in the shop for random projects, they're great. The only issue I've noticed with them are slight flickering when using higher shutter speeds for stills.
@@robchadothanks
Is there XY control?
