So many videos out there focus on budget builds or the really high-end. This is EXACTLY the video I have been looking for! Thank you!
Great video! Since beginning my videography career I've come to find out that lighting may be more important than the actual camera. It's definitely been a journey but videos like this helps bring perspective.
thanks for the video !!! purchased the list all used for about $700 on amazon. I was on the verge of buying a new camera with a bigger sensor but decided it would be cheaper to invest into a lighting kit.
Investing in your lights is going to go way further trust me! Congrats!🎉🎊
This video reminds me of the fact that we are legit spoiled as creators nowadays. Thanks for the reminder lol
Bro. This is literally answering all my questions that no other video is sayin. Thank you!
Hey Brandon, I once a created creator package set for a friend wanted to start his own UA-cam. Did the some thing. Get him a lot like the tripod, camera, audio, light, lens choices, and etc. This is all for the price of a FX3. Good job on informing people about this .
So grateful for this video. I bought this exact kit and it saved me from so much guessing and paranoia about whether or not I was getting the right stuff.
... now to just figure out how to actually use all of it. 😢
I should add: I did my best to use your affiliate links when I bought most of it. Not sure if my ad and tracking blockers stripped it all out but if it did, know I tried to get around that. 😅
@orangejjay how did you find the kit? I’m thinking of doing the same. Let me know how you are finding it
This is the video I have spent a day and a half looking for , thank you.
great start, i have a similar kit plus a couple panels and rgbs to spice up the background!
Yea if I did a $1500 kit I would have for sure added Rob's for the background. just to create some color depth.
video is so to the point and well thought out. thank you a million
Awesome 👏🏾 it is also good to know how light works. Investing in a good lighting kit and a good lens will beef up the quality of your production. Camera bodies come and go but good lights will always be needed.☺️
Absolutely! I hope todo more videos in this series with the main goal being to show different set ups and different budget points!
Brandon you are right on time with this video. I just became in need of my first lighting setup and you showed up and showed out with this video. Thanks Lil bro, keep'em coming.
No problem happy to help!
love your videos man!! keep up the great work!!
Thanks!
Great Video as always! Thanks for the lighting tips!
Any time!
Clean vid as always man
Appreciate it
I ended up with the GVM-ST300R 300W bi-color and RGB light. That is the best deal. They are very large. I'm already looking for a better mobile setup.
I appreciate this video and you for making it. Many thanks
Nice. Would love to see a similar video at even lower budgets.
Or even wjat could be done with a single light and some bounce cards.
Maybe try replicating the piece to camera shot and seeing how close you can get.
That's a great idea, a single light challenge!
@@bwashmedia that's great. Would love to see you try to recreate the exact scene as best as possible. Let's say i bought a single 200d with softbox and some bounce cards :)
Great video mate. Thank you!!
Perfect video, thanks. Bookmarked and will use your links above.
Sorry 3:16 what were you saying we should be careful of doing? Do we need to not have a window in the shot? If so, could you explain how come, so I can extrapolate the lesson here? Thanks for this video by the way!
Basically if a window is in the shot the sun may be to bright. Which mean if you expose your camera for the window (which you should) the shot will be too dark because the lights I’m recommending do not get bright enough.
Thank you for this! I’m watching it 2 years later wondering if there are updates
Thank you for the content. It is very informative :)
I just got my 1st aputure light! coming from gvm lights, I never seen lights like aputure lol fell in love lmao
They are awesome!
I have alot of godox diffusers ... Can I used these with amaran 200x head light ? Is the mount for these are the same ? thanks alot
Can you do a video on the reflector kit? Great video
Hey great video thanks a lot! what about the SmallRig 120x by color light ? any thoughts ? I just just purchased that yesterday before I came across this video lol should I return it and get the Amaran lights ?
Killer info! Thanks Brandon!
No Problem
Great video as always man! I can’t over look that Pentax 67 and the RB67 in the background tho 👀
Great video, Brandon! I’m wondering, which video production service is the most profitable when taking into account time and effort? Would be great to know! 🤔
Great video!
Deka these lights work with godox diffusers?
What do you think of the new Amaran 60d and 60x, the littler little brother?
Nice! Much needed! Although two of those Xs would, could, be better?
Definitely! but for the $1000 budget I had to make some sacrifices.
great video, tks
Brandon -- thank you so much for this (and all your other videos). For someone who is new to color temperatures, would you share the temperature you set your key light and background lights to, and how you set the white balance in camera?
Amaraon 150c for key light?
Can I just get 3 of the 200x?
Hey non of the Amazon links are working , could you refresh them
Do they take batteries or they plug in
So the 100d is not enough as a key light?
The link to your class is not working
Great content! Very informative! Will be using the product links provided to support the channel! Thank you.
Thank you for this awesome video! What you think of GVM lights? Would love to know your opinion!
good video!.........however, i have a question! would led panel (ie falcon eyes) be a more practical substite to this setup?....since I plan on doing travel international i just bought the 24-inch falconeyes panel from amazon that I am waiting to be delivered, I hope I didn't make a mistake! 😏 lastly, wouldn't it had been easier to use C-stands for your application?
C-Stands are defiantly better but for the budget cap it wouldn't work to get quality. Personally I have found most flat panel lights are very hard to soften and still keep great out-put of light. At least the cheaper options.
I can't decide between the Aputure 200x and 300x. I already have a Falconeyes RX18 Bi Color Light and want a nice Key Light. I am on a budget and dont know if the V Mount option, higher output for emulating sun light and carry bag is worth it. Usercase is short films, corporate videos and commercials
if you plan on taking the light on location sets the 300x is a great option. I have the 300d and I have taken it everywhere. It's obviously more expensive but because lights that travel a lot get so beat up the build quality of the lights really comes in handy.
does the 200x have the an issue with strange fan noise? I heard in reviews that was a big problem.
I have never noticed the fan noise. I’m sure if you put a microphone right next to it it will pick it up. But in a typical set up like the one I showed in this video I think you will be more than OK.
I'm being sold to
i'm getting 200x + dome mini ii i hope that's a good pair. 😂
Ironically your shadows are extremely noticeably better in the first comparison. lol Can't get rid of that price dif
I would pick the small rig version of the amaran. Comes with a good travel case for similar price
I think being in the same and best eco-system is more important than a travel case.
This video came right on time I was actually just looking at reviews of these lights yesterday. Looking to build a lighting kit for a video podcast my wife and I just started. Thanks Brandon! What are your thoughts on the smaller 60D ?
I think it could be great as a hair light or in a room that gets no sunlight so it doesn't have to fight the ambient light too much!
Is there a battery solution for it too?
Yeah you have a power station sold separately for ~200.-
Without battery (just to plug 2x V-mount batteries)
Nice video. It is more for someone already on YT or in the video business that is moving to the next level. Really would like you to show something like $500 for people starting. This serves two things 1 cost-why because many people start YT and never get a channel going. 2 Used stuff can be sold for half or lower (this will reduce losses). I got three lights for under $500, which is a great place to start. Everything for entry-level should be cheap to make sure to like making videos and upgrading as you go. Just my two cents. This is a good video. I'm not too fond of the price point (yes, I did see you point out the cheaper option and its limitations)
thank browww
Why not the 100x for the second light?
Probably because the 100d is cheaper and brighter? And you already have the 200x for increasing the color temperature anyway?
I’m a Nanlite guy myself, but still a great video to show what you can do with proper lights. Almost at that 💯k!
Hey there Brandon! I was thinking of investing in three lights; the Amaran 200X and either the 200X/D to go along with it as well as the new 60X light. Would these three be versatile for the time being? Should I get two Amaran 200X or one of the X and one D to get best of both worlds?
What did you end up going with?
Anything cheaper?
Why no RGB?
When this video was made there were no good options in this price point. Probably should remake it with current tech.
Seems like just a long commercial for Aperture brand lights.
Well it’s what I use just sharing
@@bwashmedia Has the equipment held up well over the last two years? Do you still recommend getting it?
@ yea I still use all the lights in this video. I use them mostly as lights in my office. I recently did an office tour and it’s the same lights. They are really solid
my NEWWER stands lasted about 1 year until every...single...screw - stripped.
you buy cheap, you get cheap. Don't skimp on light stands, you don't have to spend a fortune on them, but you do need to get some solid ones.
Can you please make a video about how to shoot dark skin colored people? Because i see many people who don't get it right and honestly i don't get them right lighted ether. I want to light them good so they can tell their message. I can find nothing about that on youtube.
Do you think that with an Aputure 200x light, it would be possible to illuminate a space for creating a podcast with 4 people? @bwashmedia
loved the video. very well done and informative! just what i was looking for. (#feedthealgorithm)
