For anyone planning to dive into more advanced lighting down the road, the warming filter/gel is a "must have" (so don't throw it out after watching this video ;-)).

What camera are you using it's so crisp I love it

Thank you! Your video helped me a lot in buying

WOW!!!! Best review I've seen in a while. Awesome job and extremely informative. Thank you Jordan.

You may have just sold me on this light! Great comparison! Thanks for it!

I'm looking at buying one to go with my neewer 160 so your video was a great help, I'm going to take the plunge, thanks

Nice production on this Jordan.

Excellent video.. thank you!... I just got the YN300 III and this video was VERY helpful. Keep it yo.

great review. only thing lacking was that I wish you had shown the actual light as you dimmed and adjusted the temperature.

On these budget panels, the orange diffuser is usually used when you're under incandescent. Since the light panel itself changes color temp though, I'm kind of puzzled as to why they included it.

plan to buy either one of this led light..thanks for your review

Awesome review! dig the results, try flipping it around to bounce light back off your "white?" wall to soften it even more since you got the power, use the barn doors to control spill and conserve power. These would be great with 2 compact light stands so you can set up quickly anywhere. 3 of these would be perfect, could use the Air for a nice hair light ;) I think you'll be able to control multiple lights with it, since you have the channels. That may just represent the amount of bluetooth devices connected. I think I may pick up a few YN300 III's. Awesome review once again :)

for largests distances maybe can be more useful this kind of lights? Looks like when they near from your face looks harder lights, but for my job i will only use large distancies (3-5 meters +-)

Very useful video ... Thx 4 sharing ! Just orderd it before on Ebay...

Hell yeah I'm going to mount this on my head 😂

Thanks so much for the video. I've been looking for an affordable LED light and this is perfect. I may be able to get away with only using 1 light. Got the same batteries as you, too.

i am not able to get the white light setting from my yn300 iii, any suggestions?

You have a serious addiction to lighning stuff and cameras and their accesoires. :)

Is this good enough for a keylight? What do you recommend to pair this with as a fill light?

Thank you for this video. I decided to go with this one after thinking I was sold on the yn300 air (from your other video) :P

Can one use power adapter instead of battery?

Hi! Couple of things. 1. They come in two versions, right? One with temp control and one that's just 5500K and uses all 300 LED's at once? I just ordered a III that doesn't seem to have temp control, and, quite honestly, it's the way I like it. I find that the ones that control temp tend to err on the side of magenta. 2. What camera are you using? I don't love using 60p (or 50p here in PAL land) myself but I love the look of that cam. 3. The point of the orange filter is if you're shooting under harsh fluorescent lights and you want to warm up skin tones a bit. Obviously it needs to be used correctly and white balanced/exposed properly, but it can be useful in that situation.

What budget stands would you recommend for these panels? Thanks for the video, I've found it very helpful!

Did enjoy the video so thumb up and I think after 10 videos about this lite I have watched I'll buy it :)

Gotta tell us what the name of the cool clock is. It is a bit mesmerizing. Take me to your leader.

Would you say that this would be good for low light weddings??

Thanks for this. Very informative.

Shame you didn't show if you can set both temps at particular levels at the same time

stronger than rotolight neo?

Need to examine specs. Remote via Bluetooth. So the controllers might be usable on other devices?

Thanks man! :) Just wondering, what camera are you using? :)

Is this brighter and better than the 600Air?

Attach the link to the app? I can't find it

I'm looking to shoot handheld on an OMD EM1 MkII , and given the smaller sensor I wanted to have an LED to take with me to help out in those lower light situations where noise starts to creep in at the higher ISOs. Would the Air be too weak? I like how slim it is. Thanks!

thank you i just confirmed what am buying . yn 300 iii

What do you think about the cheap amazon $30 softboxes that uses the 85W bulbs? Please your honest opinion, send it back and get the Tongue YN300 air or the III 3-5k model? other comments are welcome as well.

great video man I like these lights

Hi Jordan, Thanks a lot for this great review! I was thinking in buying the Yongnuo 300 III for stopmotion animation. I was wondering...does this light present any visible flicker or light fluctuation when taking consecutive pictures? that would be a deal breaker for me. thanks!

Is there a mono color version? So suposed to bo brgither... right?

hey does it produce a lot of fan noise? which one produce less noise? air or pro?

is the battery charged when the ac adaptor of the led light is connected ? thanks!

does the light charge the battery when connected to the ac adaptor? wouldnt expect it to thoug

Nice video what canera did u use for this video ?

what mic did you use?

Actually in your video about the Air version you indicated that the lumen output is almost the same on both YN 300 versions. I am guessing that is not correct given how this video shows the difference is quite huge.. I am guessing the air is more for a desktop light for close interviews or a fill light of some sort.. AND YES what is the name of that clock you have ??

hi, other than the yongnuo, what are the lights you use most often? you have softboxes?

Good job Jordan

Great video! Sold me on it.

Great video, the one, which made me decide. thanks :)

Is this better then the rotolight neo?

1:43 that would make a great April fools video :)

hello, how you doing?? i just got this lamp, but i just cant get the app for android, you know where can i get it??? thanks a lot.

Hi Jordan, I'm lalo from Chile. I want ask you about the brand and model of your digital clock that is in background. I like it. Thanks!!

Hey Jordan how far was the YN300 III from your face when you shot this? Just curious as im trying to figure out aprox f stop at iso 200 in a portrait lighting scenario

thanks for that review. i have some 100+ LED panels, 4 years old which i want to exchange with newer ones. that 300LED panels + barn doors and remote/app controlling seem to be a nice replacement. i want to buy 4 of these for mobile filming. but i have a question: is it better or worse to have reflecting barn doors? the pros seem to use black barndoors for forming the light.

Hi, I'm french and i have don't understand all. I hesitate between YN 300 and YN 300 air. 300 offer more puissance ? do you think he offer more light ? Thank you

Does anyone here use the YN300 IIIs, 300 Airs, or 600Ls with either a diffuser, or bounced? I am wondering if the same kind of brightness that Jordan has in his video here can be achieved by, say, using two 600Ls, or four 300 Airs bounced, rather than used as direct light.

This is a stupid question, but I was wondering, do you know if 2280 lumens is brighter than 1680 lux? I'm not sure if lux and lumens are the same. I have two DOF HVR-D160 video lights that are 1680 lux each at 1 meter. But I'm considering getting those of these Yongnuo YN-300 IIIs if 2280 lumens at 1 meter (4560 for two) would be a big difference over the 3360 lux at 1 meter that I use now. Any info appreciated, thanks! And nice video and unboxing, BTW!

Do you need a battery if you have an adapter?

did you have to do anything special for the bi mode? I have the 300III but the android app does not show the controls for both 3200 and 5500k.

It does not come with any battary...? Do i have to buy the battary saparetly

Hi, I have a question for you. Would the Sony NP-F970 battery also work?

you really need to learn what gels and colour temperature is all about.

Thank you! I gonna buy it :)

Hej Jordan, you are one of the guys on KZfaq I most trust in Video photgraphing, I wanted to consult with you regarding buying an affordable video camera, for multi use promotional films. People where recommending these models, and I feel kind of confused Lumix GH4, GH5 Panasonic HC VX 981K Canon VIXIA HF G40 Sony HDR CX900 Sony A75 Sony 6500 Can you please give me/us some tips on how to chose? Thanks for any help. Tal.

Ok, Now you got me with this... Getting one.. :)

not sure why most youtube reviewers didnt bother reply to his viewers,he can post the setting or what camera he uses but he decide to just ignore his viewers or potential subscribers

hey sorry to bother you but can I get the name of that rad clock in the background? BTW I'm buying this light!!

hey Jordan!! I just saw your led ring light review ( wich I liked a lot) and I was wondering if you would recommend for me to buy the YNE 300 III or the Neewer led ring, I want them for vídeo vloggin. but also for low budget short films... I can spend just about 135 box please help me I need to buy lights urgently thank you!!

You do so many Jump cuts

how are these working out for you?

You should 3D print a transformer

so you've got 150 leds out of 300 at 5500k?

No wonder its very bright. It goes to eleven!

cheap and nasty. used them a few weeks ago and you get what you pay for. would not hold up to prolonged use. Aputure have the best budget lights imo from build quality to power.

is the battery charged when the ac adaptor of the led light is connected ? thanks!
