UPDATE: In the reading section, I mismarked the two lights. So the readings for the X is actually for the XS and vice a versa.
Today we compare the amaran 200X vs the new amaran 200X S. Which one will be crowned champion? Find out on today's HEAD TO HEAD!

The only point to the S version is the improved colour accuracy which is the only thing you didn't test. I mean no offence of course just wanted to mention. Curtis Judd did some tests and says the 200x S is the most colour accurate LED he's ever tested.

I did preface that by saying I don’t have a spectrometer. So… Maybe this year I will be able to afford one. Stay tuned.

in a quiet room, standing 1 meter from the light, about 30% output, can you hear the 200xS fan by ear? not asking about microphones, our use case would be a gallery space with low ceiling and spotlight se attachment, thanks!

@Ranger7Studios 8 ай бұрын

I can hear it. But If I have a modifier on or I'm not really paying attention, I don't hear it/ it doesn't bother me. The SE might help to block what little noise there is. They've also fix the fan, so that you can control it in the app I believe. I may be wrong on that. But I see to recall that they did something to address the fan noise. Maybe they just have a new fan inside. It is much better then the 200x. Hope that helps.

I was honestly always kinda bothered by the case/box on these. The cheaper 60X model even comes in a hard styrofoam casing that's easy to open/store the light. Other lights at similar price points offer bags that resemble the beloved Aputure 120D's and offer more of a premium feel to it (SmallRig RC, Feelworld FL). Not sure if its because Aputure owns Amaran and wants the Lightning Storm line as the premium or what--but it's just something that bothers me. The lights are amazing! I just hate packing these things... Edit: I see the cases you linked-just kinda disappointed in that one flaw for $300+.

@Ranger7Studios Жыл бұрын

According to my Rep at Aputure, they really are trying to keep cost down for the content creators. This is unfortunately one of the cuts they had to make. I get it. But hopefully the ever growing competition will change that in future releases.

Hi ! What you prefer 150 c or 200 x s ? I can’t decide

@Ranger7Studios Жыл бұрын

They are two different lights that do different things. Both can be used as a key light. It just depends on what you want to do with them. The 150C can add color to your background if you plan to use another key light. It's multi functional. However the 200x s has a bit more power and is smaller. Again, it depends on your usage. One is not "Better then the other", as they have different functions.

@Ranger7Studios Жыл бұрын

I see that you are creating fashion videos. So maybe adding colorful backgrounds might be useful for your KZfaq videos. I would suggest getting a gray backdrop and then pointing the color lights at that. Gray picks colors like blue better then white, especially if your camera is set to 3200K. White reflects light on to the subject a bit too much whilst gray causes the light to be a bit more saturated. As long as you have a good strong key, which it looks like you already do, this should help send your videos to another level. best of luck!

How is the xs an upgrade when all your light readings showed the x had brighter output? I'm really confused. Your own readings have the x coming in brighter, yet you say the opposite.

Oops. Looks like I miss marked the readings. thanks for catching that. I will make a note in the description.

No. Neither are v-mountable. You would need to but the Aputure power converter in order to use vmounts. Otherwise they are plug in only.

They shipped the extra buttons in case they fall off. (Duh.) Not likely but in case they do, you don't have to replace the whole unit. It's a nice sign of consideration from Aputure.

@Ranger7Studios Жыл бұрын

They shouldn't fall off in the first place. Aputure/Amaran seems to be having quality control issues lately. Hopefully they won't make a habit out of it.
