Yes I saw the video, it was very interesting ;-) The price of this lights is good but if not reliable so not a big deal, too bad...

Is the 120D II better or same reliability ?

This one I do not know. But idea must be not so noisy and less items. Check our NAB interview about it.

Thank you VK.

But there is anothers that claims it's not reliable. So what's the truth ?

It is noisy and reliability is worse as it is two parts product.

When you shoot near a pool, battery is better/safer ^^

More seriously, I read many good posts about this light. But there is anothers that claims it's not reliable. So what's the truth ?

My favorite line: "If I don't have a generator on set for my sound tech to deal with, how do I know he is a pro??"

It is very common. Most booths use large rectangle LED lights with flicker and low CRI (sometimes at 50-60). You just do not see it due to proper shutter.

peaceonearth

what a horrible flicker in the background. Not the best reference at a light manufacturer's booth

We do not make group buys, remember. And 750W is not mass product really, most are sold to companies who lease gear.

Vitaliy - group buy on Falconeyes led fresnels?

Eyeing that 750w

This puts out much more light and is supposed to be very quiet. You can use this with a softbox too. The 60W light is barely adequate for that.

We use one Godox for now in PV studio, do not see much sound issues from it. And for now no one really made Aputure noise and thermal tests under full long load.

Talk was about small studio as far as I see.

For large can go with

"Good light, but little expensive and constantly delayed. For smaller studio I think more about pair of Godox 60w fresnels Vitaliy measured."

If you have a dark room then you can use lower powered lights no problem, but if you are doing interviews on site bigger lights really help. I've been using a bunch of 672S lights and I'm always looking for more power... Usually I use 2x 672 and umbrella for key, but a lot of times it is not strong enough and I have to go without umbrella, not that great to have that pointing at you without diffusion.

@IronFilm

If you're shooting in a studio then blondes will be heaps cheaper.

Tungsten lights for small studio is really bad idea now. It'll be hot and you need much more skills because will be dealing with sweating talent (due to heavy IR spectrum in any tungsten light).

Where it gets interesting is being able to use 5 of these on a single 15 amp circuit - compared to one 2K open face taking a 20 amp circuit.

For smaller studio I think...

LED lights have the most benefit when you're on the move and not locked down to one studio location

Very very slick launch video! Is there an Oscars awarded for product videos? :-P

Howdy, Stranger!
