😂😂😂, Syphilis under a microscope, wonder what number that is in the Rosco catalogue? 😄. Brilliant review Andrew, they keep getting better and better.🍺

Good gear most can afford starting out, and it's upgrade-able! Thx for the review, opinions, & testing Andrew!! Makes it easy for the rest of us :) Cheers 🍻

Thanks for sharing this. It's great to have more affordable attachment options. Kudos to Godox!

Wow. What an awesome demo. Thanks! The tariff line was priceless!

Nice review video as always! If I could express a wish, I know how hard and tricky it is to get the privilege of watching a "behind the scene / making of" of your pro gigs. but man-oh-man, these videos that show how things are done, and how the creative process works from a real set are soooo precious. I keep crossing my fingers we'd see more of those. thanks!! :)

Wow just stumbled upon your channel... You made my day, and all the future ones! Thank you so much for your thorough reviews! Why the hell KZfaq hadn't recommended your videos on my feed before!

Thanks so much for this! I've been scoping out a small backlight for interviews for a while now without forking out for the Dedo's. I've found a great price on Ebay so will pull the trigger!

I just bought the s30 and the 85mm lens, will likely get the other lenses, thank you for this rundown, very helpful! And I agree, it's an excellent light for the price!

The S30 is awesome! Add in the optical lens and its even more amazing for both photography and videography. Well worth the price in my view. :) also I love the video! Some brilliant technical specs. Thank you

"I think that's syphilis under a microscope." Seems about right! All jokes aside, really quite impressed with these units for the money - particularly the projection unit which is frankly incredible for the price. Came here entirely sceptical that these would be any good as they're so cheap, but you're right on the money regarding kit prejudice.

just ordered, thank you for the overview! So helpful

Thanks for making us aware of the battery-brightness issue and the fan sound. The Nanlite 60B is still the winner for me.

Great review. Time to buy myself some of the Godox accessories for my Dedos, been renting the projector lenses too much.

Thanks for the heads up on this light, it’ looks like a great deal.

Really good review Andy. Looks like I’m out to Northcote for another Godox.

Note to anyone with Dedolight DLH4s these optical attachments don't fit. The lip on these is too thick.

Its really bang for buck... good build quality too... love it... of course i had to Get One after seeing the review...:)

Andrew, thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars. Picked up a couple T7 on a demo sale from my rep. Been able to trick them out way cheaper with your info.

“Unless your your president Tweets a tariff” - best line I’ll hear all day, for sure.

Great information, well presented. Thx!

Great review of a product I am purchasing today. Thanks At a later point in time may get the s60 also

Has anyone tried hacking a lead to run the S30 off D-Tap 14.4V. If so, did it run at full brightness? P.S. Fantastic channel Andrew, keep up the great work!

Do godox S60 please, Andrew. Love your reviews!!

Another first class review. I think every fixture I've bought in the last year has been based upon your reviews. Every one has been a winner. I notice that a 60watt version is now available with DMX, essential in my line of broadcast lighting. Do you have a review in the pipeline for these. Please keep up the fantastic work

This was helpfullll!

Gracias,desde ARGENTINA

I did not realize they basically make Graduated ND filters for lights, or the thirds scrim. I can think a lot of uses for this but like you said evening out light intensity of say a wall back light going up or down a wall could be really nice instead of getting a hot spot near the source. Really interesting to note.

I bought one of these Godox projection lens for use on my classic dedo 150w... there are a few issues; the flange on the projection barrel that rest into the barn door holders of the light is not milled to very tight specs, mine has varying thickness which means it only goes onto the light when in a specific orientation... and this extra thickness prevents the projection barrel from being rotated... i think the fix is for me to carefully file down the flange. There is also a thin rubber piece that sits in the grove of this flange which i think is not necessary on the Dedo and I removed it (perhaps it for use on Godox own s30). The other issue is the 4 shutter blades are not so cleanly perfect so that you see some unevenness because its not a perfect straight edge... this goes away once de-focused. May try to run some 1000 grit sand paper along the edge. Given the price these are not deal breakers, i ordered a 2nd one.

hi, thanks for all those reviews... i was wondering if you were going to do a Godox S60 review to compare it to the S30 or the dedos equivalent. With the projection atttachment and the 150mm , it looks on paper superb for macro work and phantom high speed shooting...

Thanks for the amazing reviews, best around definitely! Would you mind to share the output with the telephoto lens? Im considering this to play with mirrors and refletors so that would be a important point for me. Regards!

I would love to see how you dedos/this unit in your daily work. I love the concept, but I am lacking good ideas on how to use them, as they are not as bright as Lekos or JoLekos.

Hi Andrew. Another great review! You convinced me. Just ordered one with all accessories. What gobos do you recommend? Some that you grab again and again?

Great run through. I guess the S60 version is even better?🙏🏾

Do you know if the dedo beam intensifiers would work on this and if so which size would you try? the one for dled3 or 7?

Hello Andrew! Great and helpful review as always. I'm currently contemplating between getting a couple of these and maybe a projection attachment in the future OR a set of Aputure LS Mini 20s, which are quite similar but have number of differences (7500k vs 5600k, 20 to 80 vs 6 to 55 degree beam angle, full power vs 1/3 power when battery powered). Unfortunately, due to differences in bundle ingeridents, Godox set of 3 lights is 300$ pricier than the set of Aputure ones. What would you recommend among the two as an addition to an all-arounder set of lights?

Hey Andrew thanks so much for this video (I watch all your videos) quick question. Would this fit the DLH4 lights? I think the DLH4 and DLED7 have the same sized attachment frames at the front of the light? Many thanks! :)

Super helpful video! Any idea if this will work with the Dedo parallel beam adapter?

I heard from a rep at bhphoto that they were having quality issues and godox recalled a whole bunch of them and then Corona virus happened which has severely disrupted supply chain from China.

Hey Andrew! Great review, is there a way to cut the light like the blades on the Aperture Leko? That seems to be the only difference, what a cool and inexpensive piece of kit.

Are the Godox accessories also compatible with the classic dedolights like DLH4?

I almost bought a Dedo...Whew! If this thing can use the Dedo's intensifyers, it would be awesome! Do you think it will work?

When you mount the projection mount, do these lights have to be in spot or flood? Does changing the spot/flood focus of the s30/dedo affect the projection optics and overall photometrics? Seems like the projection mount may be designed to take a collimated light beam?

Does with work with bowens mount source 0:32

Holy shit... Anyone know if they're planning on coming up with some parallel beam adaptors for these?

What about the Godox s60? It has other control posibilities like the godox light app or dmx. Could you make a review about it?

So helpful - I am about to byt one of these ;-) Just need to be sure I understand correctly: Do/can you use gobos fra Rosco with this (and it has to be the m-sized right?)? Can you please link to the one you show here? Thank you very much in advance ;-)

Great presentation. Will the Godex s 30 mount on other makes of stand? I need one with a smaller size footprint, thanks and cheers from Vancouver, B.C.

Would the parallel beam attachment from godox fit this light and if so would it work do you think? As you said the optics on the dedo are still superior. But i wonder how much of a difference it will make for the parallel beam adapter. I also really hope godox makes 60W or 80W or 120W versions of this!

Do you know if the old Dedo light projector fits on the Godox? I have an older Dedo light and projector, which is only 100 faint watts, and I want to upgrade the light source.

So what is the name of common mount size between this godox and the dedo? Prophoto?

Hey, did you ever get a chance to see/use Godox SL60W? I bought these because I didn't have the money to get an Aputure 120d ii which is 10-12x.

If you run them on vlock batteries do they give full power output?

It looks like the power connector is a mini xlr. Will a regular mini xlr cable work as an extension to get the power brick further away?

This is great! Can this be used for wedding monogram?

It would be awesome if you could test the godox projection attachment using the godox sa-17 mount adapter on a Nanlite Forza 500. This mixed brands kit is on my wishlist right now. Could you?

Besides the obvious difference in power, how would you compare this to the Aputure Spotlight? Most interested in the optical quality of the beam. I'm guessing these babies are a lot lighter as well.

I also picked up the framing shutters , did you have a chance to test those?

Hi, Andrew! What was minimal distance of focusing with 135 lens? Thanks!

Excellent, have you done Any review for godox s60

Thank you Andrew. Looks like a great light for money. There is a brand in the US called "Clar" . Would you know if that is the same unit? Thanks again.

will this spotlight mouth fit on the godox sl60?

@Gaffer & Gear Can the Dedolight DP Eye attachment be put on the Godox lenses? Are the lenses from both brands compatible with each other's projection mounts? Also, do you think there might be issues with having the Godox projection mount on a classic tungsten Dedolight from heat?

Great video, I have the S30, it’s really great value and works really well on batteries. Quick question, do you know if the Dedo parallel beam intensifiers work with the S30? Cheers

Fantastic! I have been looking to buy some daylight dedos but was held back by the price at the moment. Well this is but a fraction of the Price of a dedo so guess ill be heading to the store on monday:) Thanks!

What kind of mount do it use? Will it work with the nanlite forza 60?

Great Video, what do you think of the Dedo DLED-4-D or the DLED-4-Bi can't seem to find too much info on them, can these lights including the DLED-7 run off 240 volt supplies? Thanks

I believe you can find these in the US from Adorama and their private brand CLAR. $200 for the S30, same light.

I am guessing the Lux @ 3 metres must be with it set to flood ?

Even though I will feel guilty (about Dedo) I am about to buy one of these (cheap price). Could I possibly ask though is the attachment is fully metal and glass, no plastic. I ask because I would like to use it on a a DLH4 some times perhaps as well and a photography light with a tungsten modeling light and if there is any plastic I should just stick to Dedo.

Now I totally want syphilis under a microscope.

Daniel,de CYL RENTAL Buenos Aires.

Are the Dedo's a lot quieter?

would the parallel beam attachment work?

Is the fan noise than the Nanlite Forza 60, can you remember???????

Hey Andrew, does it come in a self-contained carry case of sorts?

If this light is dimmable, is there any need for scrims?

The 30 watt light is brighter? Crazy... maybe it's time to sell my DLED 7

How bright is it though?

Excellent, made me laugh; syphilis under a microscope!

dodo lights went extinct

And then they came for dodo.

I’m absolutely not getting that kind of output from my s30 compared to a dedo7 bicolor. The dedo is MUCH brighter. The build quality on this light is also very very poor and it won’t last long. Retiring immediately.
