For getting more out of the 19 degree and a window gobo in tight spaces, try bouncing it off a mirror (old nightclub trick with projectors in tight quarters). You’ll cut your distance in half or even less.

Many of your viewers may not know that leko lights were a common fixture in live theater lighting setups for much of the 20th Century. Normally these ellipsoidal lights were fixed into ceiling grids and aimed at specific areas far away on stage. If a production needed a "spot light" the most common tool was a "follow spot" to track any moving actor. It appears Aputure has adopted both those live theater functions into this unique video studio tool.

Nice! For the 300 light, the other one is not really that strong to use it. We have Leekos from other manufacturers with led lights, but they’re very expensive. As well as some HMI, but the originals were tungsten. A very versatile light and a most on every lighting truck for a Feature film, music videos, fashion and beauty commercials. In fact the proper way to backlight hair is bouncing a Leeko to a very specific silver bounce, that’s the only way to do beauty commercials.

When you cut on the top, you're not pulling or pushing at the bottom. It's a lens, so the image (light) projected is reversed.

Amazing Video Review! Specially with the end when you shaped the light at the ceiling and then on a foam board to make it your key light! 😍😍🔥 P.S: Believe me if you started the video with those 2 quick examples, then talk about it in general and showed the gobos - many people would have watched the video for a longer time, thus according to KZfaq algorithm, the vid wiki get higher views. Because, for me watching it, after like 3 gobos I was bored I thought okay that's everything the mount can do & I was about to close the video. But luckily I didn't and saw the amazing part at the end, & IT REALLY BLOW MY MIND!! How creative you are to use it as a kew light! I'm not critiquing your video .. you already know all this. I'm just reminding you to always keep the most creative part somewhere in the beginning of the video to attract the audience to stay longer in the video. 😍🔥 Keep it up!

Hi, nice video! I'm going to buy one and myself knowing the positive and negative points of each lens, I still have doubts if I should buy the 26 or 36...what do you think? I'm inclined to buy the 26 because I think it's the middle ground of lens options and because of its definition of cropping.

As a theatre designer, we use proper Lekos and Elipsoidals all the time, and there are some VAST DISADVANTAGES to this accessory. First off, you don’t have a knob to control the hotspot of the light (yes filmmakers, those exist and they are super necessary). The quality of the beam is terrible. At a sharp focus with the 19deg lens, there’s a halo around the proper beam of about 120deg, and the warping of the shutters are ridiculous. Get yourself a Source 4 if you want a leko. It’s what we use in theatre, and a body with a 36deg lens is only about $600.

I clicked LE one at its super expensive- the 36 degree is 600 but the Aputure is only 500 dollars? Are you suggesting for concert long distance, sharp circle Lekos are better?- Im shopping and trying to make the best decision?
