That kitchen looks familiar. ;) Loved the lonely shots and mood of the scenes. You convinced me that setting up lights in different positions and staying creative can be rewarding here, even when you're alone. I'll definitely try to experiment a little more in the future in that area. Thanks for always inspiring me!

Thanks for this super cool demo! Love seeing how excited you were to try different shoots with this light. Also, it’s funny how when you’re holding it, it almost looks like you’ve got a camera in your hand, not a flipplin 100 Watt LED light! It’s mindblowing how small, yet high-performing some equipment has gotten. I have a Sony A7C and A7C II and a bunch of compact primes. This kind of light is right up my alley. =)

I think it would work much better in the forest scene if kept it subtle at 6500K then pushed the white balance to the cooler side and lowered the strength a bit and bring ISO higher if you had a7SIII/FX3/FX6.

@Andyax Жыл бұрын

I've seen a couple of comments mentioned his video. Keep in mind that this lamp is bi-color. It seems like Bi-color LED lamps does output less. Just look at the LUX comparison between Aputure 60D and 60X. The small size, side-battery and bi-color with yet so much output is what makes the x100 so exciting.
