Honestly, having some great lighting capability is fantastic, even if you only have a smartphone to film with. If you have a nice lighting kit, and you learn to use it just with just your phone, you'll have some of the skills needed to get good results with a better camera. But even then, smartphones can go pretty far with good lighting! There's a bit of a craze for trying to get the latest cameras with the best shooting specs, but honestly you can make a better, wider variety of short films with great lights and an entry level camera than you can with a premium camera and nothing else. If cool lights peak your interest, I say you're being totally reasonable.

Although I have my own studio lights and I'm not looking to buy a new set, but I saw the video to the very last minute because I really enjoy it! Thanks a lot.

Learnt so much from just this one episode, thank you

So good to see you using the Alexa!! I still find its image to be the best even though it is 10years old. Can’t wait to see another video featuring it!!

Thanks, Gene! I've been trying to decide between the 300D II or the 300X. I'm sold on the X. Side note: don't put the lid of one of those OXO containers in the dishwasher. They don't make it obvious, but it's not dishwasher-safe. I lost two of those lids to that; the pop mechanism stopped working and there was no way to fix it.

Awesome video, I'm hoping to pick up a few of these lights

Every time I watch video content about aputure lights I'm more convinced that they're absolutely killing it!

Just used one on a doc shoot. That variable CT was super useful in matching indoor ambient nasty fluorescents at 4000K. Enough power to balance and fill large bright windows @ 6000K daylight with a Lantern attached. Noticeable unexpected improvement in skin tones especially at tungsten settings compared to my Draycast LED panels-that are actually very good (97 CRI spec.) This is my favourite new light and now I want another.

That thing is powerful. Battery powered and bi-colored is a plus! That close up shot of your dog was gnarly 🙌🏼

LMAO @10:45 - The face and voice you make as you arm wrestle that battery.

LOVE THIS! Deffo going for bi-colour for the next light. Those outdoor examples were solid.

Even if I’m not a film enthusiast, I still watch Gene’s videos because I like the way he sounds so passionate about what he loves doing. His energy is contagious!

great video! it seems like the ideal lighting for video

Gene, another great video. Education and humour. Keep it up 👍🏾.

We love Aputure lights, but always limited without having Bi-Color option. Definitely interested in picking one of these up soon! Another great video. 👍

Recently subscribed after watching some of your videos. Thanks for making such easy to watch content!

Normaly I wanted to buy a new pc. Saw this video, entered the Aputure shop, clicked buy and now wait until it arrives 😂 thanks for the vide 😍😂🥳

ahhhhh yes, another gear i will dream for for now hehe

Wow! EPIC of your doggie! 🐶

Potato helps me build my Photography / Cinema Museum with every video. Soon I will have to rent storage space.

I love how your reviews are in bitesize information, and you could make boring information sound so entertaining! Just wondering, I'm planning to get a light myself, would you please explain what the main difference is between a c-stand vs a light stand?

Great video again🔥🔥

Gene was super excited about the tupperware. Great review on the tupperware lol

Just the video I needed

Mine arrives in a few days. Mainly a still shooter but more and more video being included in jobs. My last job the client wanted GIFs and I did a few of them as video GIF files and used Dedo and panel lights and that is what made me get the 300x. Just wanted more versatility and power.

Definitely purchasing one asap.

The dog is the coolest thing about the video. I mean this with love!

You have inspired me to get back in the photography and video making scene after a decade of not having touched my cameras, been binge watching your videos for a week now to the point that my girlfriend hates you, love them, very informative and not at all boring! Keep it up! What is the brand of your backdrop and what are the orange and blue called if there is a specific name for them! Thank you!

Yeah I got the same Tupperware and I love it.

I so need one of those!!

Here’s me sitting with my Aputure MC all like “I can be blue if I hold it right next to my face...”

Great review Gene 😎 we're day before buying some additional light, it looks like a killer setup😜 thumbs up and see ya out channel bro 👍

Great Gene! Thank you!

I will sure get this light!

I see that refurbhished Arri Alexa Classic in the backgroud .... hahaha! Good video.

Nice review as always.

REally informative and entertaining video°

Dude! How come you only have 610k subscribers and some of your videos hit 2M views?!? People are not giving you proper respect!!! You rule!!!

I have a DJI Osmo Action!!! I just recently updated it and it’s crazy how you can LIVESTREAM directly from the camera now! 🥳

Wow, powerful light!

Excited about this light/ have considered purchasing, but it does seem to have a bit of a green hue to it. Hard to beat a classic tungsten

Dangg the dog shots look so GOOOD😮🔥🔥🔥

Why is it that I can watch a 14 minute video about a light I would never need and will never buy. The power of the potato.

If you are just starting out and want to invest in some nice gear, would you choose a gold-mount or v-mount system? Also, for versatility, would you go with a 300D Mark 2 or 300X?

I literally have a 300d ii in my cart right now. Good save.

Cool I need that light

SO GLAD APUTURE FINALLY DID A BICOLOR VERSION.

I love when Lefty is on the videos!

I need this!!!

The dog is a awesome model!

Great review. I have this V Mount adapter that takes the Sony NP-F970 batteries. Will these power the 300X?

Thanks, excellent review! What about fan noise - didn't I spot two fans built in there...?

Gene, what V-Mount batteries do you use to power the 300d/300x? And how many minutes do you usually get out of them? The 300d needs a continues draw of 15amps.

I have osmo action and updated the firmware after I saw your previous video. Oh my God! Recording does continue during screen switch.

Love your videos. Which Mole-Richardson light do you use? I have the 900w SeniorLED Daylite Fresnel.

it belongs in a museum!

I have an Osmo action and love it!

Nice to see the Jet with his regularly scheduled programming... I mean shenanigans. 😄

What camera were you using to record this? It looks different and fantastic!

watching gene talk fast because he's soooooo stoaked on new gear. I totally relate lol! Just got the sigma 24-70 2.8 emount and I'm in love.

2:51 Kari's face every time Gene asks her if she wants a drink

I’ve noticed that a lot of Canon, RED, and Arri Alexa footage looks soft. Do these cameras record in this way so that you can sharpen in post? If so, when sharpening, would you see just a black halo around details that makes it seem sharper or is there actual detail brought back when sharpening footage of these cameras? Genuinely curious since I’ve seen your videos on the EOS R and Arri Alexa.

If you had to pick 300d or 300x, what would you pick?

I just bought 2 non-flickering 55watts led bulbs that are very bright however there are strong blue and purple-ish tint! Very cheap though!!

I really need to get some Aputure lights. :)

I'm concerned about the 300Xs loss in output over the 300D. I wish I understood why it does that. Even with the 300D losing output when used with a gel, you still have the option of massive daylight output when needed. With this in mind, would you rather use the 300X with less power or just gel the 300D?

hi friend, the 300x is less bright than the 300dII, is the difference too big? which in your opinion is worth buying the 300x or 300dII? Thank you

What's up this Pierre from the Caribbean, thanks for another cool video ,is it possible to install clog on the Canon EOS RP or the M50?

Would you do a round-up of cheap (100-200 ish) Amazon Video Lights? I was thinking of buying a pair of Neewer lights

X gonna give it to ya

Hi gene. i am trying to find a camera that zooms in pretty far and has a flip screen but i am having no luck. Can you help me find a camera that reaches my expectations.

Hey, Gene! Some things are engineered so that they can break away rather than just breaking if something hits them, or they fall over, etc. Maybe that’s how they designed this battery mount. Possible?

Just curious. The curtain @ 5:24 is pretty nice! Was thinking of something like that for my place. Where is it from🧐?

You beat me. I'm still editing my review of this beast! I love this thing.
