On some of our pocket-style lights, we've noticed that the brightness when the device is plugged in is capped at something like 70% (probably to not draw too much power when charging and illuminating). Do any of the lights you mentioned here exhibit that same behavior?
@FellowFilmmaker3 жыл бұрын
Great point, never even thought to test that! So I just did test them all and the only one that limits is the Aputure MC (limited to 60%) all the rest do full power when plugged in. THanks for pointing this out, had no idea!
@OppositeOpinion Жыл бұрын
This limitation is due to overheating (charging heat sums with working leds heat)

I got the Godox light since I've been using Godox VL lights. I try to stick with one brand when I can, but this was a case where it did not make that much sense. No app or remote can be a pain when on a set, so I probably should have gotten the Aputure light even if it meant I would have multiple remotes. Since the Godox light is compatible with the round head magnetic flash modifiers from Godox it can use the barn doors and grid that comes with the AK-R1 set. Of course, I don't have those flashes or the modifier set yet, so that's not a 'pro' for me. Now I just need to talk my wife into selling her MagMod stuff and getting the Godox round head flashes so I can steal her modifiers for my hair light.

@@FellowFilmmaker I'm not a big fan of MagMod. Mostly for its price, but also because it does not work well with other photo/video gear that I have. I found this out when I tried to use their small softbox with a video light. I prefer to get gear that can be reconfigured for different purposes. It also adds too much weight on the end of the flash that can make it hard to point your flash at an angle to bounce off of walls. If I could have all the money we spent on MagMod products, Pocket Wizards, and Nikon flashes back, I would get Godox round head flashes and their light modifiers and I'd have money left over to buy a couple more video lights. Oh...one MagMod item I do steal from my wife's bag and use often is the MagShoe. It works great with my small light panels that have hot shoe mounts.

MC's are best by far! Just not as bright as the RB9

Since I haven't used it, I don't know for sure. From what I've seen I think it might be better than the Godox light I reviewed here, but not sure about the rest to be honest. Sorry I can't be more help.

Aputure MC is overpriced just like an Apple product. And once you're in their system you are stuck to pay more.
