With so many lights available for filmmaking, it would be so hard to pick just one. In this video I talk about what you should look for if you had to pick just one light as a cinematographer.

Hey friends 🫶🏼 it looks like there is a glitch about half way through, It must’ve happened on the KZfaq upload , I’m sorry!!!! What I was saying, is it puts it in a white container and softens it. And Bowens mounts give you a variety of modifiers to help shape

I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

I'd have to say stretch your budget and get the 600C. Unless you only shoot one person in a small-ish studio, there are too many situations when the 300 doesn't have enough power to punch through big diffusion or compete with sunlght.

Great video Brady. Can you say anything about why 300 is the ideal, do-it-all level of power? It's something I've picked up from just watching you and a load of others, but I've never read/heard anyone articulate this. It seems 300 is just the ideal combination of size, price and power.

I get they need to save money through the plastic body etc, but not including any form of DMX communication was a silly decision. It would’ve of cost them an extra few bucks, and then it really would be a no-brainer purchase for those of us who use other brands too. Trying to lock everyone into a Sidus only ecosystem isn’t a wise decision, as that has some major shortcomings when trying to precisely sync lights with music or action

You basically did something in me and went all crazy on lights. Anyway. What about modifiers and attachments (I dont know much of them) but I've seen things like "fresnels" and spotlights, and barn doors and such things - if you only had one light, you'd still put some nice things on, huh?

The 300C is probably the best first light that is a do-it-all style. I have the 150C (mainly because of budget constraint) and while it is good in almost all circumstances, it does feel limited when using with a very large softbox (120cm). The 300C would be better in this case and I highly recommend it, given how good the 150C is.
