I think your videos are very good. They are informative because they describe every last detail. I have two Godox lights, the Godox SL150W II, and I am very happy with them. The deviation from the actual WB is almost 100 Kelvin, which is a very good value for my purposes. But the best thing about the lights for me is that the fans can be turned off. I'll now get to the point: thanks to your detailed description of the ML60II Bi LED, I will buy this light. Interesting lighting situations can then be created in conjunction with the two other lights. Thanks again for the video🙂👍

Thanks! And it is only a continuous light. There are very few LED lights that double as strobes, like the Godox FV series, or some lights from Rotolight (which are very expensive). Even then, they are not as bright as even a cheap "real" strobe, and have other downsides, like the flash being different duration than typical flashes, etc. I highly recommend getting separate continuous/flash lights.

Which of the projection attachments would you recommend? So one has to buy three whole attachment to get different angles, right?

They are basically design for different distances/spotlight sizes. So the 19 degree will give you the same size light circle from farther away as the 36 degree would from closer up. I have the 26 degree, and it's perfect for my studio space which is about 12 x 15 feet if that helps. They sell the lenses separately, so you can buy 1 full projection unit, and then additional lenses later if you need them: geni.us/godoxmlp19lens geni.us/godoxmlp26lens geni.us/godoxmlp36lens Hope that helps!

Is there no option to convert the proprietary mount to a Bowens mount? Something like the S2 Bracket

@NewLayer

4 ай бұрын

The S2 bracket worked for the original ML60 because the light itself slides into the bracket, which clamps onto it. The form factor here won't allow that. I'm currently not aware of a Godox-mount to Bowens-mount adapter, and it's definitely a consideration with this light if you have a bunch of Bowens mount modifiers already. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of proprietary mounts, but I mentioned in the video, the Godox-mount specifically is a little different because it has a better selection of modifiers, and they are all really lightweight and cheap, so I see it as a pro for this light in particular.

@waisengyan9028

4 ай бұрын

Ahh I see, perhaps Godox's focus is to make this light as compact as possible, rather than be compatible with all the modifiers. But it'll still be nice if they end up making an adapter. It would make this light more versatile, like the original ML60. Thanks for the quick reply! Appreciate it!
