Brandon... I've been a commercial still photographer for 25 years, recently transitioning into LED's for my architecture/interiors specialty. This video is no doubt the best I've seen in demonstrating a particular light in a real world setting. This makes it much clearer to me what a 60W LED lamp with various modifiers looks and acts like in an interior scene. And thanks also for revealing the ISO & other camera settings, as well as some info about your post workflow with regards to that. I see now that a bi-color version of this light is now available which makes it that much more flexible. Well done and good luck!

Thank you for making an actual practical usage review! It's hard to feel how a light performs when they are just tested on a white wall.

I watched this months ago when I was deciding what light to buy. I’m watching it again while waiting for my footage to transcode because it’s such a cool experiment! Thanks for making this!

It is not the weapon itself. It is the person behind the weapon. that makes it's powerful stuff. You really did great job to explain, all the way we can do with the product. Professional way !

Brandon, you are very good not only in filmmaking, but you are also great reviever! It's not a boring technical review. Great examples and scenes!

Battery as counterweight - I like that.

The ultimate ML 60 demonstration. Surprisingly powerful.

I like these kinds of videos but I’d like to see the F-stops and ISO with these setups.

brandon I love you, I dont care about those lights but I still watching this.

I really like the scenes and camera settings in your review. I got my first light in the beginning of year without complete knowledge. Now I'm shopping for my second and third light, and all of sudden I found I was lost and frustrated by tons of KZfaq reviews. Without putting the specs in the context of applications and camera settings, the review would become pretty much a marketing/sales announcement in my opinion. I can get into more details, but don't want to get you bored. Thanks for your effort. Back to searching for my lights...

When I think I know some things about cameras and lighting, but then watch a true professional do videos like this ! Makes me realize I don't know shit ! And I have lots and lots to learn ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great video !

One the best presentations i have seen.

the batteries as the counterweight was brilliant!

Well that's synchronicity I'm watching the passion of Andalucia an I get this notification.

The last part when you turned off the light was dope.

I bought these lights based on this practical presentation.

The batteries are the counterweight. Brilliant! Thank you

Great video. I dig the natural indoor scenes you created. I’m just a photo lighting guy (no video for me) but a good rule of thumb to remember about modifiers and softness is that for a modifier to produce a “soft” quality of light it’s maximum distance from the subject is not more than it’s diameter or distance across the relative face of the modifier.

That really is a model of how a useful review should go - thanks! Confirms my suspicion that this could be just the light for me. I need kit that's small and light because I move my gear round central London by bicycle. Probably lucky I never need more than one camera :-)

I wish all videos were this informative. So helpful!!

Phenomenal video, thank you very much for taking the time to make this and for sharing your knowledge with us!

0:47 that flip flop entrance 💀THANK you for the vid!

This is brilliant. Such minimal equipment for Night for day.

brandon li , you are one of the most fascinating filmmaker

I gave you a like and a sub early into this video just from how well you're demonstrating how people light for video. As someone who's done tons of portrait and architecture photography using lights, it's super interesting to see some of the ways you utilize them

Great tutorial! Thank you for your time and effort. I know how much goes into these videos. Well done.

I am gonna get one of this. This is a real useful review. @Godox @Flashpoint Plz work more with this Brandon more, he knows his light.

most amazing review I have seen yet .

Great tips and a practical review. Thank you for sharing it. Keep up the good work!

Never seen a video so neat and well explained

Damn boy, you nailed this review.

Wow, it's actually very bright for its compact size. Thanks Brandon.

Definitely looking foward to getting one.

These lights are awesome! I have the SL 60 and love it but it would be sweet to have something portable. Thanks for the video Brandon.

Wow. Very complete test. 👌👌

I love this video mannnn full indepth video love it

Great video Brandon

Hi, I just bought your courses. It is great. Really!

Awesome video! How do you feel these lights would preform for wedding videography? Speeches and first dance type things.

always enjoyable to watch your videos no matter subject

Excellent review! Good job 👍🏻

this content is pure gold!

very helpful review with real use cases

Thank you Brandon,

Please how do you clean up noise in post?🙂

Another great review from a respected content creator.

Thank you so much!

Such a great and informative video! But i still can't decide between the Godox ML60 and the Jinbei EF II 60...

love ur vidéos bro !

thanku so much

Excited to learn 👋🏾

Thank you. Made my decision

Still a good light in 2024...but I need a bowens mount adapter for it...which one? The Godox S2 speedlite bracket? The most recent update? Thanks

Such a great video!

Very good review

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

That was very helpful

has the Sony A7Riii a dual gain sensor too ???

i just got a new LED thats only $20 more... and its 120w so twice as bright, and bicolor, and a bowens mount!

thanks for the video! im not sure what you mean when you did the softbox shot. was the light not powerful enough to give you a good look with a softbox or was the softbox just too small?

Good stuff, Brandon. Nicely demo'd and presented. Shame about the lack of Bowens mount on these. I wonder why they did that? The Came-TV Boltzen Q55MkII seems to have these beat in a few respects. Wish I could compare them head to head.

So pro!!

Bro thank you God will bless you when I search for Filmakers review this is what I mean , also would you advice beginners to get just one of them ?? Cuz I’m on a tiny budget and I want a very good light for lighting up some or most scenes

You do not recommand only one unit to use for one creator outdoor in the daytime ?

How would you compare them to the Godox SL60w?

Let's go to Hollywood bro 😁

Wonder in terms of lumens what is the power

cool 😉

Great review does the 2x batterys plus the adaptor come with the light or is extra $$

at full battery(NPF 970) how long does the light run?

Awesome

great review, just what I was looking for. you didn't mention if there's any fan noise?

Very good...

Great review! Loved the examples you set it helps truly knowing what the camera settings were and showing that you were shooting at night. Any chance you use a skin softener tool in post with such high ISO?

Cool!✌️

How to pair the remote with the lights? Only just bought the remote separately. Thanks in advance.

👍🎥

7 thumbs down ? Must be from people who you beat in search ranking for this light

I had this question and you are the perfect person to answer it. I want to shoot some slow motion aesthetic videos inside my house and the flickering issue is unbearable obviously due to less light. So I was looking for video lights and came across godox SL60 . But I don't know will that be sufficient for a 480 fps slo motion video. So can you tell me if I buy two of those SL60 will it increase the overall Lux value. I might sound dumb here but just need to know will i get double intensity of light by using two SL60W ??? I also saw about Amaran 100d but here in india with that price of amaran 100D I can buy three SL60W lights.

How do I charge its batteries?

Genial

when you use it as key light, was it on full power?

super tuto. I am newbie in film with a a7IV and was looking for a portable solution. Do you still recommend that model today ? What do you think about the BI version ? it looks better but it has less LUX (10000 instead of 13000 ?).

i have a Godox VL150 with a RC-A5-II. Can i control both lights with the remote RC-A5-II?

Pls mention the price too

Is it possible for shooting iPhone 7 Plus

Hey these lights are more powerful than you think! If you use 3 of them.

Brandon, have you tried jinbei ef ii 60?

Can this be easily used hand held at an event, wedding etc ?

Like nanlite 60?

What camera and lens do use for filming this video ?

ISO 12800, f2.5... jeez man... They aren't that bright it seems, considering that you'd normally want to shoot at around iso 800... or 3200-4000 at the most. Having said that, they seem to be quite nice lights, with a lot of punch, specially with the reflector on, some 10-12000 lux at 1m (1000-1200 fc at 3ft). Bare bulb they seem to be similar to sl60w and a like. But, they are portable, battery powered and that's a huge plus.

Great video and cool lights although I'm not sure if you can call a light powerful when you have to shoot at iso 12800 lol

There is an alternative: Jinbei EF II 60 that seems to have worse build quality, but overall has certain advantages: 1/3 lower price, also runs on batteries and has bowens mount.

Well it Kind of doesnt Count when using an a7s III night Vision device... I am staying at ISO 400 all the time in pro Shoots (as a BM User). I Like the small Size but i would rather have a 150w light

you mentioned you over-exposed for 2 stops, you mean you bumped up the ISO to 12800? Is there any advantage as compared to using a ND filter with a higher aperture? Thanks

Still not gonna work to have the DIY natural lighting for the ML60.

4:10 He Brandon, how did you get a more tungsten like temperature out of the Godox considering it's daylight balanced?

Why not get the Jinbei efii-60?? These are also portable with sony npf battery plus are also bowens mount and will only cost you around $140.. half of the price of this godox ml60

Is this light suitable for food photography and still life!
