Anytime!

I want to thank you...from the bottom, deepest part of my heart. No one out there ACTUALLY explained how to use these compact lights as main lights. They all simply just turned it on while still having their key light on.

Exactly!

I’m so happy for you go full time KZread. You’re the reason I bought an a6500 and the sigma 18 and 30. You’re opinion was correct. Those lenses are incredible. Best to you! Thank you for doing what you do. Keep up the great work.

Bought my 1st product, the Mini a few weeks ago. LOVE it. On-camera, in-studio, I use it as an AF aid....helping end the "searching". Off-camera, I can light up small stuff that I'd usually use a speed light flash for. I also use it for general utility- like a flashlight. I think Lume Cube products should be staple of every shooter's arsenal of tools; they really do open up possibilities...ONLY limited by your own creative juices.

I’ve ordered my cube! Your video is so helpful & easy to watch. Your wit & charm is so appreciated! I look forward to other product reviews. Thanks so much!

The fact that it tells you how long it will last in a time value is so cool. I was on a search for a mini panel light a month back and went for the "budget" option that everyone suggested on KZread. It was an ESDDI LED Light, super clunky in person, lasted max 30 minutes when fully charged and additional batteries cost $20. This seems like a significantly better choice for not too much more, also a good medium point before the Aputure MC RGB!

Yeah, I really love that feature. Guessing how long that light will last from other lights can have its challenges. So seeing it on the screen is incredibly handy!

I like how the description of how the lume cube took longer than the hack! This definitely inspired me and I'm subscribing.

This is honestly so perfect for almost every small-scale project

Sidney, been following you for awhile, and you just keep getting better. Keep it up my man.

Yippee, I just bought one on a total whim. Not arrived yet but excited to play with it. Glad to see it looks like it’s gonna be genuinely useful 😀

I just received mine. Thanks for this trick--super cool and easy!

That last part is keyyyyy now I gotta hack something together to easily assemble and disassemble

I see light!

this is what i've been looking for! thanks for sharing!

Awesome Sidney! Thanks

Can't wait to try this! Thanks! I

I just order two of those after going through ur review

Thank, I did not think about the reflecting option. Way cool.

Combine some of these awesome lights with a Crane M2 gimbal, Sony ZV-1 camera, that ZV-1 cage by SmallRig and a microphone of your choice, the no compromise NATural ND filters by Tiffen (1,2,3, and 4 stop ones along with the lens mate kit to stick on the filter threads on the ZV-1), and you got a slick little film making kit. Don't use a variable ND filter if you care about color rendition. The internal ND of the ZV-1 is about 3 stops so that's good and it does not tint the image like the cheaper ND filters do. I'm embarrassed to be a Panasonic GH5 and GH5S owner after they made the G100 to compete with the ZV-1. Just bought a ZV-1. I love it. I'm buying another too. Thank you Sony for trying :)

great presentation, crisp to the topic, loved it Sidney!!

i recently saw this product and found your video very informative! just wondering what’s your opinion on using this light for film photography?

Whelp, that's something else to add to my list. I've got a couple of the Aputures already, but these are looking pretty sweet. Plus that diffuser that comes with it looks like a much better solution than what comes with the M9 or the MX.

@SidneyDiongzon

They're amazing!

4:41 you can see that your bigger softbox is turned on bouncing light off your wall. So the end result we’re seeing with your key light setup is also influenced by this? Would be nice to see how it looks with just the mini and reflector lighting your face to get an accurate representation.

Your video made me realize I could turn my small LED light right to the wall instead of right in my face, and that it made no difference (with full power against 15% before). Thank you so much for that !

Hey and BTW. You can use these portable lights for non camera things too in a pinch. Used it to light up motorcycle in my garage and as a patio light

Snaaaap! This light is dope.

I just picked up one of these lights. Bouncing the light onto a reflector is a swell idea. Have you tried it behind a shoot thru panel or umbrella?

Cool video as usual. But wasn't there another light right behind the reflector? Looked like a 120D with the light dome? I'm guessing that would be a "general background" light but don't you think that also affects positively and helps the whole setup in general? Would've been nice to see what it looks like JUST with the lumecube.

2 things. 1. I purchased a Pixel P1 last night and the this video comes out yes! And 2. The dinkun arm thing just shot up its market value like 50% for being on Sids video. 😂 I will so post something up when my light gets here. Thx Sid

Hey Sidney, if you have that on high or very high would you think it will degrade or burnout faster even tho they are LEDs??

Great video thanks. Can this light be mounted to a GoPro 8?

Thanks for the video. Do you think this is a good video to use outdoors to take videos and pics with my phone at dusk/night. Will it be bright enough?

great review

Bougth 2 of these and they are super bright. I wish they came with free pouches & an adapter for point and shoot cameras (I have Sony HX 99) that does not have built it hot flash shoe.

Good video, thank you !

What you recommend using them on the hotshoe or just somewhere on the side for photographing people?

Do you recommend and kits that can be used for tinting the colour of the light other than white.

I am a wedding filmmaker and still learning about lights. I am looking to buy a small and bright Bi-color light but now those RGB lights make me very confused. I don't know which one is the best option for me. Originally I was thinking to buy Aputure AL-F7. I would really appreciate your suggestions.

thank you so much bro. Good video! God bless you! 😊🔥

great video

Good work. hi from Fort Worth

Just got one. I’m going to do your set up when I start doing video

would there be any flicker in pal countries? what is the refresh rate/Hz of these led lights?

Dang thats a dope light! I just uploaded a review too!! Ill have to get one of these I think itd be super helpful to have some more pro lighting.

I really LOVE this light!

The light at 1% has 15hr battery life. If I use the light at 1% for 5hrs, will the battery bar indicate i have 10hrs left? Does the battery bar drop in bars after use or is it just an icon indicating max outpout if used at certain %?

4:40 yoo i think that bounce light fra the dome helps a lot too🤔

Would using the original bigger sized “lume cube panel” work the same with more output or cast a shadow off the bounce since the light itself has a bigger shape?

@SidneyDiongzon

4 жыл бұрын

I would assume the bigger light would be output more power

Can I mount this to the Gopro 8 media mod as well as using the display mod simultaneously? Thanks to whoever answers.

This is also good for attaching to a bike handle bar if say when it's dark and need to get to and from somewhere on your bike. Or in a mandatory evacuation, and your bike is your only means of transportation. This light is good for that, too.

Have you thrown it in your big softbox yet? I wonder if it would be bright enough to work well that way as well.

This channel is underrated! it deserve more views and subscribers! wth KZread?!

Do you think a similar result can be achieved if the light was behind a reflector using the diffusion cloth layer? Or would it be less bright and create a hot spot?

I think it would create more of a spot light effect if done that way. I like bouncing off solid surfaces because it spreads the light more evenly!

This is genius. I was looking for a softbox for a Lume Cube Panel Go or a Lume Cube 2.0. Nada. But this produces the same effect. Why didn't I think of this!? Haha

Do you have a tip to avoid shadows in overhead shots ?

Thanks so much for your informative video. Sorry, you may have reviewed the warmth settings of the light but I missed it. What is the warmth rating of this mini light? It looks very cold/white. I'm only interested in 3K ratings or less because of the harshness of white light (nothing over 3K). Thanks, again for this interesting video "spotlighting" mini lights that might be useful for folks that travel.
