Has anyone tried attaching this to a godox sl60w?

@theegg2997 6 ай бұрын

i just bought mine, i get very visible outer rings of light going around the spotlight. I dont really see it on any video ive watched, is this something you’ve experiences or is mine defective?

@DamienLandis1 10 ай бұрын

would be great if you had showed all of the Lenses in Action, anyway thanks for the Review, it still helped me a lot, will buy it ;)

I have the Spotlight se 19 now, the 36 degree beam is larger at the same distance, right? maybe it wasn't the right decision to go with the 19 degree, because with the 19degree the picture on the wall is a little too small here in my "KZfaq Studio" .. a shame. A kinda like "zoom function" would be perfect! i think the Aputure mini Zoom would be better in this case but i dont own light storm gear@@atdavidlee

Good review but you probably missed the most important part - does it cut clean? Are there any chromatic aberrations? Is the whole gobo projection in focus? Does it work good with the non-rgb Amaran 60x and 100x or 200x. A lot of missed opportunity to make a great review my friend. However, thanks for taking your time to show us at least something about this very new spotlight :)

Wondering about the same thing too

@ChuckRiseUp 10 ай бұрын

would you recommend the 19 over the 36 for small to medium room? I'm often doing interviews at people's home and sometimes I'm stuck into a small apartment so Im wondering if the 36 is not too much...

@atdavidlee 9 ай бұрын

the 36 has a broader use range. The 19 I feel fits better for very particular uses.

@jeebra1513 9 ай бұрын

What is the difference “Lens Only” and “Lens Kit”? In the picture (b&h) I see that both have a spotlight and lens and both have gobos

@brandonlazo 8 ай бұрын

The kit is the spotlight and the lens(for example 19 or 36) but this lens is interchangeable so if you buy the kit with 36 then you can buy just the lens 19 because you will already have the spotlight.

Hello! I am going to buy one but I cannot well understand the difference in size of the wall projection between 19 and 36 degree lens attachment. Could you help me figuring out how much difference is among them?

@Swole_Cole_ 5 ай бұрын

From what I gather, choose the 36° if you want to cover a larger area in a smaller space. So say you’re in a bedroom or something and the lights are gonna be relatively close and you want to cover most of the wall. Pick the 19° if you’re lights are gonna be further away. OR if you just want a smaller spotlight for some reason. The farther from the thing you shine it on the bigger the projection is gonna be. But you could just go for the 36° and buy the iris insert to make the beam smaller.

second this

I want to buy Amaran Spotlight 36 lens kit. On the site they offer to buy a Spotlight SE Iris. It is necessary?

@atdavidlee 7 ай бұрын

The iris is super helpful. I don't think it's necessary but it's certainly a nice accessory to have.

@SaltEarthandSun 4 ай бұрын

Hey mate, is there any way to find out what the size of the spot is at say 1m, 5m etc?

@atdavidlee 4 ай бұрын

Technically it's a 19 degree lens so it should be 19 degrees, does that help at all? Sorry if I mis-understood your question

@Eye-V. 5 ай бұрын

Hi. Would this work on my Nanlite fs-300b ?

@atdavidlee 5 ай бұрын

I would say no as it was built specifically for the Amaran 150/300C. I think Nanlite has their own versions for the Forza series.

@brandonlazo 8 ай бұрын

For portraits? Do you recommend 19 or 36?

@atdavidlee 8 ай бұрын

I guess it would depend how you're using it, not as a key light I would think. I would probably go with the 36 to have more flexibility with how you're going to use it.
