Thanks SO much for watching - this video is actually old and I’ve improved so much. I hope it shows through in the work as I keep creating it keeps improving.

@@pruett89 yes i've seen.

Thank you so much for the sub and the kind words!

Happy that I could help you out, what kind of video are you looking to use them for?

@@pruett89 hi, to make KZfaq videos some lecture series recorded indoors.

Awesome, good lighting makes all the difference for indoor video. I’ve been thinking of recording some training videos for my work as well. Trying to get something more polished than just regular Skype sessions or power point slides.

I really appreciate the support, of your looking for LED Lights check my YN600 AIR review as well, and thanks for watching.

Thank you so much for watching and for the sub. It really means a lot for a solo creator like me!

Thanks for watching!! Glad you found it helpful.

I added all the links to the description so check them out! Thank you so much for watching too.

I shot this on an old Nikon with all Manual focus...and it wasn't perfect for sure. I appreciate the feedback. New Canon M50 with Dual Pixel AF has helped out alot when shooting by my self.

@@pruett89 Thanks, Michael. I bought the Canon M50 a few months ago, despite its (by my count) 14 limitations. I think that it is great value for what it is, and the price is even lower now. Another thing that I have noticed about the three YN300 Airs that I have is that they need some diffusion (like the umbrellas you are using), if I want to avoid squinting (because they are so bright), and also if one wants to avoid the lights casting really pronounced shadows. QUESTION - when you were filming in the parking garage in this video, were you using the umbrelllas to bounce the YN300 Airs?

You are very welcome! I've been using and loving these lights for a while now they are still great.

100%. Honestly they work best inside, especially if you get the wall charger. Watch my other video about the YN600 Air too. That one is awesome for a Key Light and these can then be used for background lighting. But they won't be distracting at all especially if you soften them up with umbrellas or diffusion material to get rid of any hard shadows on your face and background.

Yeah totally agree

Just saw this!! I really appreciate it, brings a smile to my face that you enjoyed my work.

@@pruett89 I do. I even hit that bell which every KZfaq says all the time ;)

Glad I put the umbrellas in the video! My view point is that LED is better all around. Less heat, usually lower energy usage, more flexibility for dimming, longer life span and more pure light color. As far as the umbrella with LED/Bulbs it shouldn’t matter to much, the umbrella will soften any light source but I wouldn’t use it with a light that produces a lot of heat for safety reasons. The YN300 mk 3 does not have a built in milk diffuser, has more LEDs and has the barn door attachment that gives you options for shaping the light a little. The YN300 Air that I reviewed is more simple to just use right away and provides softer light with out any attachments. The mk3 version will be brighter but more harsh on camera. Both can be used with the umbrella to soften it up and give a more natural look. After using the Air I’d get the mk3 for the brightness and remote. For the color temp all you need to do is buy the 5500k or 5600k version and your good to go! I hope this helped

More diffusion is always good to have, especially if you are close to the light. The umbrella is also easy to store

Cool, thanks! I don't know what I'm doing with mine at all yet - I need to figure out how to use it properly. Actually, that's why I looked up this video. I need to do something differently, that's for sure, 'cause I'm getting rectangular lights reflected in my glasses!

If you don’t need bi-color then you’ll generally get more light output for the same cost/weight. I’d say getting a light that uses rechargeable batteries of some kind or another is the way to go. I really like the Sony NPF since it’s so universal.

@@pruett89 Thank you!!

Thanks for the feedback - my old Nikon had terrible AF. So i shot this whole thing with manual focus or locked off focus. So its not perfect for sure. Thats part of the fun with shooting videos by your self. Got a Canon M50 now and the Dual Pixel AF is awesome for shooting by myself.

@@pruett89 Haha Yeah! Me too getting rid of my Nikon D3200 for Canon 200D/ Rebel SL2, because Dual Pixel AF+Fully articulating Screen is Bae❤️

Yeah this was one of my first videos.
