I forgot to ask: What mAh batteries do you use for the wedding application?

@@adamwestphoto I use 2 x 8800 in each. Have never run out yet. These batteries are 64Wh, so two of them will power an ML60bi at full power for 2 hours. In reality you're never at full power for most applications, so it will go all evening.

Fantastic review Nick. I went for the Amaran 60x which are a similar power and equally as portable - however they don't have a cary case that's as nice and the hyper reflector has a really strong hot spot - Still super happy with it though. Handy to know there are other options :)

Thanks man. The case is really good, otherwise the 60x is fairly similar in functionality.

Love the review..how bright is the ML60bi ..especially for outdoor use at night..( for videos)

Thank you! It's 60w, so if you imagine a 60w lightbulb, then you're in the right ball-park. If you have two, then you can double the power output. This is about as powerful as you can get with battery power, and that battery power option is the main advantage here. If your shooting scenario is an interview etc where you can get the lights quite close to the subject (1-2m) and still be out of shot, then you'll be fine, even at low ISO. If you're doing a full body shot, then you will need them further away to ensure they are out of shot then you will need to let ISO increase a bit to compensate. But depending on your camera system, if it has dual-base ISO then then is not a major issue anyway.

hi there. I miss the old tungsten lighting kits! Hot but powerful and easier to control...I have been using LED panels like the ones you used to have...2 of those but I think this Godox would be better for interviews...do you find the footage to be a lot better than before? It must be more powerful than the previous LED panels you had...or not? I may get one and use it a key light...

I would say that the quality of the footage is better, but mostly that's as a result of being able to attach a selection of existing modifiers I have already. If I wanted to do any fictional work, then they would be much better as you can better control the light to give the look you're after. The key point for me with interviews/youtube is that these lights are around 2.5x the power of my previous LED panels, which means I no longer need lights hovering really close, just out of frame. And if things are further away, it's all more even too. Thanks.

@@NickChurchPhotography thanks so much. Yeah. I think i will get one of these Godox lights one of these days. I could use it at wedding receptions and interviews. But the important component is the light diffusion. For now I'm waiting for a sale!! Take care

Can you explain what you mean by “you can’t push out the ambient light“

@NickChurchPhotography

Hi, sure. It’s because when you use flash you have two separate light sources: ambient and flash. They both work independently to create the lighting in the final image. You can reduce (push away) ambient light using a faster shutter speed, but this does not affect your flash intensity. So with flash you can make a room totally dark and just lit with flash. Continuous light is adding to/blending with your ambient light so can’t be separated (increase your shutter speed, and you reduce everything)
