They have 1% increment steps, and it's nice and smooth, and I'm running off the sony batteries, so no power cable problems. Love the little remote they came with too.

I have Lowell and wasn't looking for lights, but on Black Friday these popped up. I was like, "Why not?" My Lowells are better but old with no remote nor battery slot. Plus, they're a pain to set up. Man was this a win!! Days later, this set went up $200 more than what I paid for it. I've already benefitted because I needed to shoot something real quick and was able to do so with one GVM panel. Hassle-free.

Can I use only 1 GVM RGB Video Light as the backlight, and use 2 dimmable bicolor 660 LED lights as the key & filler lights on the foreground and still get a color gradient effect? And if I want to clash lights, do I need to have 2 RGB backlights, and 2 dimmable bicolor led lights for key & filler light (4 lights in total) or would it suffice to have 1 bicolor key light and 2 RGB backlights (3 lights in total)? Thank you for helping!

Thanks, Gerald, great review! I just bought a 2-pack of the non-RGB versions and like them (great price). They have the same cord issue with bent prong, lol, but easy to bend straight and I slapped a couple rubber bands on the light stand for the power brick which at least is pretty light weight. Would love the RGB version though, as the first thing I did was put a gel on there which was a pain to cut to size and also lowered the brightness of this not-super-bright light quite a bit.

So quick question Gerald, if you were to spend the $240 on a key light, would you get this, or the 3 pack, non-rgb with stands for $279 and have more light? My new home studio will just be 9' x 11', so I'm thinking one would be enough.
@geraldundone 5 жыл бұрын
If I was just looking for a single light as a key light and had no intention of using RGB, I'd probably go with a Falcon Eyes similar to what I covered in a previous video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8uIp5eev92ae58.html. Either the 28 or 48. It's a bit cheaper and is diffused. If you could take advantage of the RGB, though, then I'd definitely get the GVM-50RS. Multiple lights is nice if you plan on doing a 3-point lighting setup or want more flexibility, but they aren't my favourite lights for a straight up key.

This is my favorite light I own from GVM. The only issue I have is that the batteries drain when they are attached even when it’s turned off. Same thing with my GVM 10s. And the other one is that the lowest brightness still starts off very bright- which you can kinda fix with the barn doors, but overall, it’s an excellent product for the price and my go-to for things like gym motto videos and stuff like that

Mr. Undone, Thanks, as always, for the FANTASTIC video!! Since Sweetie & I only vlog from Bed [since 2007] we are hot and bothered about these exciting inexpensive GVM 50RS RGB LED lights. We were on Amazon about to pull the trigger [via your affiliate links, of course]. Then I noticed GVM has TWO BRAND NEW RGB 2 lights kits at about this price… But we can’t make ANY sense about how they compare to the 50RS you revived. It SEEMS the R50R288 has FEWER lights but better diffusion, but MAY be better [or worse] and the [almost same price] GVM 1000D MAY have many more lights for same price… but OLDER diffusion. We are SOOOOO confused and stuck in bed poorly lit afraid too make the WRONG $400-$500 purchase. Has GVM hooked you top with these 2 new models? Can you bring your brilliance to compare the 3 models? No one can do what you do. And LV and I are REALLY eager to add some more color to our Bed Vlogs… We really need your help. Please, pretty please with Xmas Candy canes on top!!! - Zork & Sweetie [Bed Vlogging since 2017 with bad lighting ]

Like this one: amzn.to/2WY9kr5 Although it seems to be more expensive in the UK: amzn.to/2I6ikXB (Seems like they've updated to a newer, more expensive model) The Neewer lights are fine too for even cheaper, it's just harder to adjust the colour temp, because it's two knobs: amzn.to/2SpQhak or amzn.to/2BvBFeS

@arthurbrown7501 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Gerald. Just letting you know I use these exact same lights and I got the kit with the remote control with it. The remote does allow you to control them independently so you can have different intensities in each head (even in a master and slave scenario). In addition to that you can assign heads to different groups giving you event more separation and control. So for example, you could say put head 1 in group 1 at 100% brightness and head 2 in group 2 at 50% brightness defining a scene. One annoying thing is when you cycle through the colour spectrum, they loose some intensity around the middle setting as the LED’s cycle from tungsten to daylight.

Question for you real quick. Hows the output saturation on this bad boy? Does it like fall off towards the edges at all? I'm thinking of using this to color up my backgrounds by either throwing it straight onto a wall or even placing it lower and throwing it up say on a small shelf. Would this panel be a good option for that?
@geraldundone 5 жыл бұрын
I think you'll find it's plenty for that. In the opening of the video when I turn this on to purple, it's running at 100% saturation, but only like 25% power and it was about 8-9 feet away from the wall. And in post I have the saturation of the video turned down to 91%. It's very, very vibrant. It rolls off a little, but I find it kind of just looks like a nice vignette at the edges.

when using the RGB mode is it colour accurate or is every colour shifted to the camera's eyes? Wondering if you can maybe even do a video going more in depth in the colour accuracy part 7:50. Doesn't even have to be about this light in specific but like RGB lights in generally. RGB vs Daylight with gels. Cheers!
