    I think the Godox Sa-17 with S-ap projector is half the price of this. But this definitely looks way less clunky than the Godox. Love the bounced light off the wall technique. I first saw it on Lewis Potts’ channel and I do it all the time for keying light in small rooms. Such a easy and useful technique!

    I think it probably has a slightly better lens and more robust design. It also can only be used on 300w max. There is perhaps some chromatic aberration on the Amaran unit when using certain gobos

    @@lorenzonarwhal it'll depend what and how you're lighting, you can increase the size of the spot by moving the light back, but if your shooting in tighter spaces you may want the 36. You can see in my small living room in this vid, the 19 isn't huge, but it works well if you want to cut the light into small beams.

    This spotlight does NOT work well to create slashes on a background to emulate sunlight coming in through a window. If you try and create a long slash you will get significant leaking all over.

    Great Ed! That music video you did using this kit looks excellent. I bought the Godox version of this kit a while ago when a client wanted me to get tiny spotlight circles on tiny little jewellery pieces. One of these kits attached to my Aputure 120D was the answer. But for very little money you get so much more. These kits are very flexible and I use mine lots and I haven’t found the need to buy more lenses yet apart from the 85 that came with the kit.

    I have the 36 degree and can relate. Not sure if it affects the 19 degree. I think the spotlight se iris is the only way to close out the leaks but it might make your slashes smaller.
