    Big thanks for sharing, I bought one and I adore how bright it is for something this small, I love it and may do as you did and get another, and the mount that comes with it is a little tank, so well built. Keep up the great work !!

    Are there 2 different versions of the RX-8T? Some sellers say it's 16W and others say 18W. At first I thought there was a difference because it seemed like sellers were charging more for the 18W one, but after more searching I can't see if there's a pattern with the pricing scheme. And it's also weird there'd be 2 versions with the same model name. And their website only lists it at 18W.

    Which Neewer 216? YN-216 or CN-216? Both the Neewer and Aperture lights are kinda different than the Falconeyes, at least in design, but they all have the same CRI rating I believe and similar power options. I like the Falconeyes because of the flexibility (literally) and how thin and light they are

    NigelBarros sorry the cn 216. And yea I really like the flexibility you were taking about. I’m just new to film making so I’m trying to get ready and buy a lighting kit for myself. And I had never heard about these until today but they seem super cool I’m just making sure I’m not buying an inferior product because it’s flexible. But I like what I saw in your video. I think I’m gonna go with them just wanted to make sure they were good and hooked up to a light stand no problem.
