Maybe just remove the Grid and get closer?

@danielgbr1 4 ай бұрын

True! Had the same thought. He’s using around a one half diffusion and a grid. Removing the grid and using a thinner diffusion would help a lot. One thing I’m purchasing at grid nets to setup over windows. They work as film on the window and you can really controle outdoor light sources

This would be my first steps! If not just save for the 600D

It’s absolutely refreshing to see you share your limitations with your jobs especially with something like lighting. Looking forward to seeing a future video episode of when you replace the 200x

Thanks a lot Toyin!

great vid snappy and insightful thanks

@nolepholife2843 3 ай бұрын

In hindsight, that grid definitely sucked up some output. That window is no joke and still would have been hard to compete with 200w. Thanks for sharing!

I hear you on the 200x not fitting the bill all the time! Might be worth considering carrying a few, along with a 4x4 or 6x6 collapsable diff frame, an alternate way to have a bigger output source if the 600 is too bulky to bring.

Also, it looks like you ran the light dome with the grid, you could squeeze a little more output from the light without the grid especially with that backdrop where spill isn't much of an issue.

@davidmorefield 8 ай бұрын

No substitute for high output. I’m in the same boat. Looking at 300x but it’s only a marginal increase; which leaves the 600x as my next option. And that thing is bulky. Definitely would need more room in the cart.

👀 going to look into those two lights.

@_trismegistus 4 ай бұрын

How much brighter is the 200d than the 200x in reality? Barely noticeable difference? Maybe 2 200d together, but at that point maybe a single 300d might be worth the extra cost for simplicity?

@tlopez5069 2 ай бұрын

Question, could you have placed the light closer to them?

@csabavass9479 3 ай бұрын

There are many steps to consider before you call out your light being not strong enough. You can always move closer your light source. Play with your softbox and the diffusers. Try to create a book light with it. Try to bounce it. Also if you replaced it I am curious what light was your option to go with. Great content though, keep it up! :)

@AlbertoMendoza 3 ай бұрын

I’m always trying to learn. Appreciate the tips!

@etnies777 5 ай бұрын

Maybe the 200d was the better tool for this?

@NickDelDuca 3 ай бұрын

I find the 200x is just not enough to go through a softbox unless you get it really close. I've got a pair of them and I've definitely found their limitations. I'm actually looking at the new GVM Pro SD650B that just came out. They seem like a heck of a light for the money.

@AlbertoMendoza 3 ай бұрын

I’ll have to look into that 👀

@nolepholife2843 3 ай бұрын

@@AlbertoMendoza I think I saw a used one on bh for $600. It's a beefy light (15# head) would likely need a c-stand. I ended up going with the 500b instead.

@nolepholife2843 3 ай бұрын

200x woulda been fine with a few small windows. Giant glass office windows, you really need 300w minimum.

@brunomamede2352 3 ай бұрын

Dear, the light is too far from the interviewee. Look at the frame on the camera, and the distance you positioned the light from your client. You need to bring it closer. Sure, you're right about the output of your Amaran 200x, but on the other hand, you should indeed have positioned the lighting closer to each interviewee. Just subscribed. Great content.

@catarinapires94 2 ай бұрын

Just go with amaran 300c all perfect and in this case on your video you just need ND filter to cut the highlight and push the 200x in my opinion but I don’t know how bright the 200x

@AlbertoMendoza 2 ай бұрын

I used Amaran 300c (recent vlog) and I like it!

@zaymax_7 3 ай бұрын

You could've brought the softbox much closer to the talent. Bring it as close as you can without it appearing in frame. that way you'll maximize the power while having the mostsoftness too. The light i'd say was still a bit harsh here

Ahhh good to know! thanks!
