iFootage, historically known for tripods and monopods, started making lighting products in 2022 and recently released the Anglerfish SL1 200BNA. This 200W bi-color LED light can go from 2700K to 6500K and features a standard Bowens mount. I took this fixture for a spin over several shoots, ranging from a simple interview to a more complicated commercial to a scripted digital series. Keep reading if you want to know more! This is my first time working on a review for an iFootage product, and that’s not because I wasn’t interested – there are just a lot of cinema products out there! Earlier this year, my colleague Jeff took a look at their Beava Roller 35 rolling bag in an extensive review that you can read here. In this review, I tested the Anglerfish SL1 200BNA Bi-Color LED Monolight, the COB 40° Light Projector Attachment, and the Iris Ring accessory. iFootage also makes a fresnel accessory I couldn’t test for this review. From this point forward, I will drop the Anglerfish moniker (especially since this light isn’t waterproof) and call this fixture the SL1 200BNA for short. In this review, I wanted to answer the following question: in a market filled with 200-watt bi-color offerings from competitors like Aputure, NANLITE, Godox, and others, will the SL1 200BNA find a home? Semi-rigid case for the projector accessory. The main lamp head comes in a simple box. Image Credit: Graham E. Sheldon / CineD iFootage Anglerfish SL1 200BNA – first impressions At first...
