Great video! I don’t have the space for the cob style lighting in my room due to other music gear, but I recently found out about the GVM Edge (pancake/flapjack) style light and it works great. Just clipped it to my desk & provides enough soft light. It’s bi-color also & remote controllable & adjustable on the back of the light or via an app. Sean had a video about a smaller one on this channel a while back, but I got the 15” one. Affordable @ $150 if you can catch it on sale. Cheers!

Good tips - a white umbrella is a good substitute for a soft box if you're on a very tight budget, but they bounce light around the room more. A white shower curtain is also useful for even softer light, you can make it look like natural window light.

I was going to add about glasses, which took me the longest time to work out, but you got it in your opening tip, however, I do it a little differently and usually put 2 lights on either side (although a bounce card also works). I have my key light brighter and the other one about 30-40% lower. I used to have a hair light, but now I'm bald, and I use most of my lights for work, I tend to not need or use that extra light. I recently had the opportunity to have a floor lamp in my new studio, so it's really nice to have a real practical light in the background. As always you guys are awesome. Keep up the good work, you helped me so much when I first started to take content creation seriously.

A good alternative for a COB light is the Andoer EX60III SL-60W. It's budget friendly at £80 I think I paid. Or there's the Andoer LM60Bi which is £78. I quppied my light with the Laofas D60B mini dome, which was also cheap at about £50. Thanks to Sam Holland's review. Budget friendly options.

@JackZucker 9 ай бұрын

one critical mistake is that the COB lights are spotlights. You do not get a soft light out of them with a traditional softbox. You need a deflector in front of the big LED in order to spread the light out. Otherwise, the spotlight just comes out of the front of the softbox with minimal diffusion.

*Never let one failure from the past hold you back in the future* 👉🏻 *MUST READ FOR YOU* “As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. ‘Well,’ trainer said, ‘when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.’ The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.” *I LOVE YOU* ❤️
