Man, I bought this light and it arrived today. I ran it for a total of ten minutes… and now it won’t power on even after changing outlets. It’s a sweet little light and I’m on the fence about trying out another one or just moving on to another 200w light.
@@carlostigs I'm definitely going to return it and try to get another one. It's such a sick little light and that max mode is clutch on a light stand outside a window. I also had a new Polar Pro Recon VND literally fall apart when I was taking off the rubber cover this week. Just know that I'm getting all the lemons so everyone reading this can be confident in their purchases.
I also recently bought a Zhiyun G200, and found that the Bowens mount is faulty. I can’t install other brands of Bowens accessories, such as Godox VSA-36K and SMDV softboxes, and can only barely fit the original reflector. Have you encountered this problem?
I have brought other Bowens mount accessories to the supplier, and they also tried to fail to install my Godox and SMDV accessories. However, I am curious that the Zhiyun manufacturer said that so far only I have reported this problem, because they have not received many Report back, they don't seem to be fixing this
@@errole Of course, but it doesn't work. 😢 I have more than 30 LEDs and flashes, but I have never encountered this situation. I have been to the local Zhiyun supplier, and they have also tried multiple brand of Bowens accessories that I brought, and they can't Install.
I am sorry but I wanted to ask you something random if you have the time. What do you think is the best starting cinema camera in a budget of 1000 euros I am looking either for a Sony a6400 or maybe a bmpcc4k but I wanted your own expert opinion on the matter
@@thegreyfilmsofficial I think the only real pro that the xt5 has over the bmpcc4k is the form factor and convenience of size. Other than that, the pocket 4k is in a league of it's own. The price especially.
Crappy lights. It's funny to see all the youtuber poppung sponsored vids at the same time tlaking about how great some chinese stuff is. No credibility at all
I'm here a minute after upload, and look. I'm a simple man. I see Gian Carlo, I upvote. Then I watch the video. It's the only one legit order.
Man you and Danny have been the biggest help in my transition from photo to video.
Glad you think so

Awesome thank you! Enjoy it
I can’t find that offer

It’s really unfortunate about the CRI value. Seems like a rad light otherwise.
Yeah it’s obviously not the highest but it’s fairly decent

Sorry to hear that. It must be defective I’ve had mine for months and it works great. I would definitely reach out to them

That light wouldn’t last 2 weeks on a truck…
You’re refering to a content creator or maybe a solo documentarian’s kit, Yes?
Bro! where is the van on your site? Make a video about the van and why you took it down. Love your content bro!
keep using BM ursa? 😦
Those product shots though!
It looks like it should have a big fan, is it loud for shooting commercials where sound recording is a must ?
It’s actually very quiet. The only time you hear it is in Max mode
Great work on the review!
How does this compare to the brightness of a Forza 200?
Haven’t compared but I was pleasantly surprised and with the Max mode it can power up to 320w
@@carlostigs awesome thanks man. Loving your podcast btw!
Everyone talking about the A6700 when this light is the real deal!
It is great
@@carlostigs Question, do you need to keep pressed the max light output for it to work? Or is it something you can toggle on and off?
How is the heat dissipation and then fan house noise?
It’s good. Fan is very quite once max is turned on you hear it slightly

You have to push in and turn

How about placing the G200 on the table, when installing the accessories, first press it down hard and then rotate it? 🤔

10000% bmpcc4k. No further explanation necessary.
@@tkaz123what about xt5

@@thegreyfilmsofficialThe rolling shutter is borderline unusable on the xt5 in 8k or 4k hq modes😅
@@tkaz123 okk thank you !!

I wouldn‘t be shure of that…
