This video is pure gold, KZread should rank it world #1 for everyone interested in these topics.

This is a genuine service. Thanks for applying your own means and resources to help the rest of us make the most educated purchase possible.

Your video's color balance looks off but in a stylish way, it reminds me of Australian shows from the late 90's

Hey Markus, Happy New Year! I just want to thank you for always being such a positive energy for us, and give us really useful info

Thanks for taking the time to go through all of these. I've always been fascinated by the subtle differences between the $1000+ lights and the low priced alternatives.

Insane! Thank you for updating the list and keep us informed

You rock Markus! Thanks for all the amazing videos.

Markus, thanks for sharing your knowledge to the community !! You rock!!

Thanks dude I liked the style of video, not to technical whilst giving all the needed info. Really appreciated. I'm in the market for the godox sl60 and this has now made me pause for further evaluation 😎

i absolutely love your work! thank you SO much for doing your reviews and comparisons!

Light and audio are just SO IMPORTANT on the video, thanks for this! A TON!

Love videos like this showing those of us just starting out affordable options. Thanks!

Aha! Finally someone doing a video on the Wellmaking (gotta love the name)! Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to review some budget lighting 🙏🏼 great to see some of these side by side.

Super helpful, thank you Markus! I love that this batch will take a Bowens mount

Sooo many options. I am really enjoying playing around with the ones I won from you a few weeks ago. I am getting some really good practice in.

Brilliant Markus, I don't know anywhere anyone doing this for us! I thank you so much!

One of the best equipment comparisons. Down to business and covers all the details, good and bad. Thanks!

this is the best comparison/review video about cheap lights that I have seen, and the best part is that you not even care about your lighting in the video, you speak the truth without any fancy stuff , kudos !

This was super informative, thanks for taking the time to review all these lights!

Markus - Thank you for these awesome light videos!!!

Thanks for the reviews Markus!!!

Thank you for this video about these wonderful discoveries 😄

Superb Markus... I've learned a lot from this...

Thank you so much for this! Just starting out with lighting for photography and this was a much needed video!

Thanks for putting up these videos. They're great purchasing guides. Keep them up!

I love these new videos your really doing a great job

Thanks for another outstanding video, Markus! You're showing lights that no one else is talking about, and they all seem to be excellent options. I kinda like the GVM 80W and, even more so, the WellMaking 80W from this bunch. Most of the lights other KZreadrs show are much more expensive, like the Godox AD600 (which is still priced fairly-reasonably). This video has been very helpful. The only thing missing was... Cara!

Learning so much from you. Great video!

Well this brightened my day.😂

wow, good deals indeed! Thanks for sharing this video man!

Great review Markus! Thanks for the links too.

Thanks for the review. The GVM with a fresnel makes good sense. Thanks for helping me see that.

Another very practical and fun-to-watch video by Markus. This guy has become one of my favorite KZreadrs in the photography and video realm, because he's a guy who loves to experiment and find solutions to problems, even if they fall outside the so-called "professional" category of tools. (For instance, how many guys do you know who are willing to use actual flashlights to light their videos? Especially in the daytime?) But he cares far more about getting results, than he does about being The Cool Kid who can impress you with his budget for toys. Instead, (as he intimates in this video, when he says that "Amazon is like a giant toy store"), he'd rather tinker with solutions and push them to extremes, if necessary, just to see what happens. (Two of my favorite examples are the video slider that he controls with a string he pulls just off camera, and the video where he tries to see just how many "corncob"-style LED lights he can fit into one big softbox.) I love this guy, and I find him to be both entertaining and inspiring. The fact that he has little or no ego involved in what he does, just makes him even more endearing, because he really is a bit like watching a Mad Scientist, (with Boy Band hair), working in his laboratory, and concocting Rube Goldberg-type projects that nobody else thought of, because they were too worried about keeping their reputations intact, while the quirky guy who just loves having fun ends up creating wacky solutions that get the job done - and usually cheaper than just buying a name-brand product. But the one video I find myself always wishing he would make is the one where he explains WHAT HE USES ALL THIS EQUIPMENT FOR. Now, if you peek at one of his other channels, you see that he is an ardent Health enthusiast and Healthy Lifestyle guru, so maybe that's his main gig. But I'd still like to find out WHY he travels so much, and whether or not any of the projects that he works on these days are for actual clients, or if he uses them to build his own brand. (Either one is fine, but I'm just very curious to know.) Now, maybe he made his fortune years ago, and all of these equipment purchases and product comparisons are just because it's his own, personal passion. But if he's actually out there hitting the pavement, looking for customers, or working on videos for clients other than his own brand, i think his viewers would love to know. And if not, I'd also love to see some videos where he talks about how the Average Joe can use equipment like this to build their own brand, and be able to compete with The Big Boys of both KZread, and the larger world, too. (If you see his video where he and Cara travel from city to city on a promotional tour, you get a feeling that he is probably a warehouse of knowledge about self-promotion.) So, it would be interesting to see this channel sometimes veer of into a video now and then about lessons he's learned about how to use technology to market yourself, and also what he's learned about working for others. Every time a Markus video pops up on my screen, I get excited, because this is a guy who knows how to present information with all the passion and wide-eyed wonder of someone who's just starting out, but with the seasoned experience of someone who's been around long enough to see through the marketing hype, and who knows how to separate the facts from the Spin. I hope this channel continues to grow, because Markus is a much-needed alternative to those channels that have become so polished that they feel more like watching celebrities review camera gear, than regular people. He's got the polish, but I think the kid inside of him would never let it go to his head. He's too busy just having fun with all those toys.

I was going to say that he and his wife go scouting for great photography sessions regularly, but I read your entire message and I understand that you know that. Then my response is that I don't know what he does for a living, but it must involve a FUCK-TON of cameras and lights. My guess would be model photography for fashion businesses, and pictures of him and Cara are useful to show clients from his resumé.

GVM looks like my choice. I have one of three panel lights and love it.

Thanks for the info.!

Very helpful. Thx!

Wow! What a great video, Markus! Lights have come such a long way in the past 25 years, from being hot, heavy, delicate and difficult to assemble, to these. The GVM appears to be an incredible deal. The only thing that would make me hesitate to buy it is the lack of barn doors, which I frequently use for mounting color gels or diffusion (it always looks better when I place diffusion far away from the light source, sometimes using a separate C-stand with diffusion hung from a gobo arm). I have two different sets of LED panel lights that use a power brick. We learned the hard way to never hang the brick from a stand knob by using the built-in power cord that runs from the brick to the light (the weight of the brick shorts the connection, necessitating a new $80 brick).

Best video ligth ever, thank you.

Thank You for the great review and comparison!

Wow this was one of the most useful light review videos I've found on KZread. Thanks for your research and making this comparison video. Leaning towards the Wellmaking.

@VedranKesegicSQL

4 жыл бұрын

Wellmaking HL-800C advertised as having a "Noiseless fan", but in reality the fan is quite noisy. Not very noisy, but quite audible especially if you record in a silent environment. I think the noise can be removed in post though. Otherwise it is a great, super-strong, super-compact light, highly recommended. @MarkusPix, how come you didn't mention a very noticeable noise of HL-800C?

@MarkusPix

4 жыл бұрын

The Wellmaking noise is still quieter compared to the noise from the Godox. Luckily quiet fan noise can easily be removed in post because it's a steady sound in a narrow frequency range. Sony cameras remove it automatically while recording. For super quiet- the GVM fan noise is almost nonexistent.

@@MarkusPix ​Thanks for this reply! Super helpful!! I am actually leaning towards getting the GVM, for the quiet fan and because of the amazing price. But since I was hung up on the no battery situation with the GVM, I am going to get something like this external portable battery (low enough watts to fly on a plane, and no fan): www.amazon.com/65Watts-Portable-Charger-Battery-Notebooks/dp/B07P87JTVT/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 I realize this battery wont work with the light at full blast, which is totally fine with me. If I get this combo, I'll test it out and let you all know if it doesn't work. Many thanks!
