about Godox LED continuous lights.
Follow us on social media @Hypop and visit
our website hypop.com.au. Let's get into it. So, just as a note,
we're actually using the Godox LED continuous lights
for photography. So, we'll be taking
some stills with this. Obviously, all the features
and specs of the light will apply
when using it in video and film. So, let's first jump into
the popular Godox SL60W. This light here
is a COB LED light. So it's a chip on board. It also features a Bowens mount
which means you can mount a bunch of different
lighting modifiers including soft boxes,
barn doors, reflectors, umbrellas also.
It also features a CRI
rating of 93 plus. And the power output
is 4100 lux at one meter. It's actually been one of
the most popular lights by Godox because it's been compared
to the likes of the aputure C120D mark-ii and people use this
as a great entry-level continuous light for photography
and for filme. Specially, if you're just doing
talking headshots just like this or if you have YouTube videos,
it's really ideal for that. It also features wireless, so that means you can control
this via remote control. And if you do have a bunch
of different other lights from Godox's range
of continuous lights, typically you can control this
via that one remote control. On top of that
it has a color temperature rating of 5500 kelvin. So, that means
it's a daylight light. But there are tungsten
variations for this and that's called the SL-60W. Now pricing, it actually
is priced at 220 AUD. We'll throw the pricing up
on screen for the conversions.
So, it is priced
at that entry level price point. It's an inexpensive light. It's quite accurate
with that high CRI rating. And also provides
that natural daylight. So, it really is ideal
for most scenarios for filming as well
as for photography. The next light in the range
is the brand new Godox ML60. Similar to the SL60,
it's a 60 watt COB LED light. The mount is actually
the brand new Godox mount. So, it's not a Bowens mount. It's Godox's
own proprietary mount, which means it's compatible
with Godox's own modifiers. So, that means if you wanted to
actually mount bones modifiers, you'd actually need
an adapter for that. On top of that,
it has a CRI rating of 96plus. And the great thing
about this particular light is that it can be AC powered
as well as battery operated.
It does come with
a battery plate that you can plug
into the DC port. And they're NPF series batteries
by Sony. So, these are
the L series batteries. So, you need two of them if you
want to battery operate them. It comes with a handle
and that handle there allows you to also hand hold the light as well
as mount it to a light stand. It is small enough
for it to be handheld. So, if you do have an assistant
and you need some sort of run and gun setup,
it's perfect for that. Now, the color temp
on this light is 5500 kelvin. And it also features wireless. So, that means you can control
this wirelessly by remote. So, if you don't have access
to the light and if it's mounted on a stand,
there's no need to worry. You can actually control
this wirelessly. The ML-60 is rated at 13,000 LUX at one meter
with the included reflector. And it's priced at 410 AUD. So, we'll throw the pricing
and conversion up on screen. Now, we've unboxed
and reviewed the ML60. So, if you want to take
a closer look at that video, click the link up above.
The next light in the range
is the Godox SL150W mark ii. There's also a 200 watt variant
which is the SL200W mark ii. So, this light here
is a more powerful version of the 60 watt versions.
It's 150 watts of power. And it's rated at 58000 lux
at one meter with the included reflector. So, if you're after a light
with a little bit more output, this one's a good one
to look at. On top of that,
it has a Bowens mount. So, you're not stuck
with the Godox mount. You have the Bowens mount
which is a little bit more of a universal
modifier mount system.
And it also features
eight light effects. So, if you've seen
lighting effects in other continuous lights, these include the aperture C120D
Mark ii and the C300D Mark ii. A lot of these continuous
COB lights now have these special effects. They're great to add
into your filming repertoire. So, if you have some
sort of scenes that you're trying to mimic,
they're good for that. The SL150W Mark ii also features
wireless compatibility. So, that means you have a access
to a remote control that you can adjust the settings
and turn the light on or off as well as tap into
those lighting effects. It has a color temperature
rating of 5500 kelvin and a CRI rating of 96 plus. So, really quite high up
in there in terms of the color
rendering index. And it's priced at 670 AUD. So, we'll throw that pricing
and conversion up on screen.
The next light
is the Godox VL150. Now, there are three different
versions for the VL series that includes the VL150. The VL200 and the VL300.
Unlike the other lights, this light here has a little bit
of a different design. It has the light head
separated from the control pack. So, that means
the light head itself is actually a smaller unit. But there are no dials
or buttons on the actual head. And they're all moved down
to the controller pack. And that controller pack there
allows you to turn the light on or off
and change the intensity, as well as tap into
some lighting effects. Now, the great thing
about this light is that it comes
with a carry bag. And it has that wider
output range. So, if you're after lights
that have more output, if you need that for photography
or for film, you have the option
to go up to the 200 watt or that 300 watt variant. Now, these are still COB lights
and they have a Bowen's mount. So, that means you can mount the
different lighting modifiers.
It has a CRI rating of 96 plus. So, really high coloring
rendering index on that. It's rated at 61,000 lux at one meter
with the included reflector. The color temperature
is 5600 kelvin. So, it's natural daylight. And it also has compatibility
with a battery system which is the v-lock
battery system by Sony. And that mounts directly
to the control pack. It's priced at 670 AUD. So, we'll throw the pricing
and conversions up on screen. The next light in the range
is the Godox UL150. Now, this is one
of the first COB lights that's completely silent. We've actually unboxed
and reviewed this light also. So, if you want to take
a closer look at that one, click the linkup above. This light here
is a COB LED light. So, it's exactly the same
as the VL series. It also has that
external control pack. So, that means you can battery
operate this light with v-lock batteries.
But the main thing
about this light is that it has no fan
what soever. So, if that's really
important to you, the url series
is the one to look at. Now, the main limitation
with the UL series is that it only comes
in a 150 watt variant. So, that means there's
no other options to go for higher outputs. There's no 200 watt or 300
watt version of this light. They may release something
like this in the future. But because this is
a fanless design, it has a really
huge heat sink inside.
As you can imagine, as you start
increasing that power intensity, the light itself will
just get bigger and bigger. Now the actual head itself is substantially bigger
than the VL150. And that's the house that
cooling system on the inside. And for the LUX output, it's 58,000 lux at one meter
with the included reflector. The UL150 is rated at a CRI
rating of 96 plus. It also has a color temp
of 5600 kelvin. So, all the same features
as the VL series. The main difference
is the price. So, it's priced
at about 800 AUD. And we'll throw the pricing
and conversion up on the screen. Now, the last three series
of lights – the SL, the VL, and the UL. Get a little bit confusing.
In terms of the output, they do have all
150 watt variants. So, that means you've got
the SL150, the VL150 and the UL150. The main differences between
these lights are the features.
So, the SL150 can't be battery
operated. It features effects. So, there's eight
lighting effects as well. And it's basically
a more stream lined light. So, it looks similar
to a flash strobe. It's all within the one design. There's no control pack
hanging out. Whereas the VL150can
be battery operated. It has the control pack
separated. So, it's really similar
to other COB LED lights from other brands. It's really mainly used
as a continuous light for film and
potentially photography also. And it has a fan inbuilt. So, the VL has a fan inbuilt
as well as the SL. They both have fans inbuilt.
Now lastly, the UL150. It's pretty much
a no-frills light. It's a 150 watt continuous light
with no fan, battery operation and perfect
to use in photo and video.
So, that's the main
three differences. We'll throw up
a comparison on screen in terms of the features ,so that way you guys can make
a better informed decision. The next light in the range
is a fairly unique light and that's the Godox FV200. This is what we call
a hybrid LED light and it means that it can be used
for continuous as well as for flash photography.
Now it has two different modes. So, if you're using it
in flash photography, you can actually pair this up
with Godox's x-series triggers. We actually unbox and review and compare all of Godox's
x-series triggers. So, if you want to take
a closer look at that one, click the link up above. Now, if you're using this
in flash, the great thing about this light
here is because it is LED,
the flash photography from this led means
it's high-speed sync compatible. So, that means it's all the way
HSS compatible up to 1/8000 of a second. And you can use this
as a flash photography light. It's great to use with families
and for children and for babies because the light's less intense than as
compared to studio flashes.
And you do have that high speed
sync compatibility which a lot of studio flashes
are not compatible with. Usually, these are reserved for
the battery operated flashes. And you need a triggering system
to be compatible with that. But on top of that, it has
a continuous lighting mode. Which means you can use this
for video and for film. So, when you switch over
to continuous lighting, it's just got your simple
functions and features where you can increase the intensity
and decrease the intensity. But the great thing about
this light is it's all in one.
So, that means if you're
jumping between shoots. So, if you're doing
a photography shoot and then the client asks for you to shoot some quick film
and quick video clip, then you can switch it over
to continuous mode and use the light
for this purpose. The only downside
about this light is that it's not battery
operated or battery compatible. So, that means
it's a studio light and one that you have to plug
directly into a wall. Now, the FV200
is priced at 730 AUD. So, we'll throw the pricing
and conversion up on screen. This light here has pretty much
all the features you'd expect from a COB light. It's got a Bowen's mount.
It's got a 150watt version. There's also a 200 watt version.
It's priced reasonably. And it has your natural daylight
5600 kelvin, and a high CRI
rating of 96 plus. So, it's a great overall
all-rounder light. Now, on top of all of this, you've got remote
control compatibility.
So, you have wireless built-in. Also, you have
eight lighting effects in the continuous lighting mode. So, you have the same features
that you get from the SL150W, but all built in with that
flash mode as an additional. And it also has a rating
of 58,000 lux at one meter with the included reflector. So, it's all bundled
into this one studio light. The next light we're looking at
is part of Godox's flex range of LED lights
and that's the FL150R. The FL150R is a unique shape.
So, it's actually 30×120 cm. There are four models
in this range. The FL150R, the FL150S
which is a 60×60 cm, FL100
which is a 40x60cm, and then the FL60
which is a 30x45cm. These lights are SMD LED lights that are fitted
onto a flexible panel. So, that means you can
actually change the form factor of the actual light itself.
Now, it comes with a stand that sort of holds
each of the edges out.
So, if you want to mount this in
its full shape, you can do that. But if you need to fit this
into smaller confined spaces, you most certainly can because it's quite
a thin flexible panel. And you can shape it
or even hand hold it to the way that you want
to direct the light. Now, the great thing
about these lights are that they're fairly powerful
for what they are. They actually are pretty much
an led panel but a flexible one. They do have optional
soft boxes available. So, if you wanted to diffuse
these lights further, you can do that.
It has a wireless mode also. So, that means you have
remote control compatibility. It also has two
powering options. So, you can plug this
directly into the wall. So, if you're in a studio
environment, you can do that. However, if you wanted
to battery operate these lights and take these with you
on location, they're great for that also.
It comes in a little carry bag.
So, that means it's easy
to transport and store away. And overall, it's great to add as part of an overall
continuous lighting kit. So, if you have one COB light
perhaps as a key light, you have a few
of these flex lights around to be used as a fill light, as a hair light
or an accent light, or even a background light. The flex light range
is perfect for that. Now, it has a CRI
rating of 96 plus. And it's rated at 4,300 lux
at one meter. And when you use that soft box, it'll probably diffuse
a little bit further, so you'll lose
a bit of intensity. However, it does have
that wider throw of light since it is a panel. And that soft box will soften
the light even further. The color temperature
is bi-color light. So, that means you can adjust it
from 3,300 kelvin to 5,600 kelvin. So, if you want to dial
in that color temperature more precisely,
it's great for that. Also, it's priced at 620 AUD. So, we throw the pricing
and conversion upon screen.
Now that we've gone
through the majority of Godox's LED continuous lights, we're starting to look
at their compact LED range and the first one we're
looking at is the Godox M1. Now, this light here is
a small compact run and gun LED video light. You can most certainly
use this for photography. So, if you're wanting to have
an on camera light or one that you can mount
to a stand and position and perhaps use it
to fill in some shadows or not necessarily
use it as key light but if you're like doing product
photography or food photography, small compact led lights
are great for that. You can most certainly
mount this on top of a camera and use
this as a run and gun setup. So, if you're
in a low light situation and you need to do a quick film
or quick clip or even just take a quick photo,
it's great for that. Now, this light's really cool because you have a wide
CCT range in the CCT mode.
That's 2,500 kelvin
all the way up to 8,500 kelvin. And you also have the RGB mode. So, that means you can dial in
so many different colors. If you want to use this
as an accent light, RGB lights are really
popular right now. On top of that,
it has15 lighting effect modes. And it also has a music mode, which means it has
a small microphone in the corner of the light
that picks up audio, and it changes effects to this
to the sounds or to the audio. Even if you talk directly
at the light, it will actually flash
and show patterns based on that. Now, the great thing about these
lights are that they're compact and that means they also have
an internal battery inside. So, that means
they're rechargeable. You can power this via USB
type-C. You can plug this directly
into a laptop or into a computer to charge. If you have a power brick,
you can charge it via that. Or even
a portable charging bank. So, if you have one of those
little portable batteries, you can plug it in
to provide more battery.
But on top of that,
you've got the internal battery. Which means you have
quite a lot of life to operate with this light. And it's one that you can just
throw in your bag and use as an accent light or just a quick light to take
with you on your travels. The M1 has a CRI
rating of 97 plus. And it's rated at 1700 lux
at one meter. It's priced at 240 AUD. So, we'll throw the pricing
and conversion up on screen. Now, the final light
we're looking at is the GodoxR1. Similar to the M1, the r1 is actually just
a round version of this light. Now, it's got all
the same features in terms of the CCT mode.
It's 2500 kelvin to 8500 kelvin. You've also got 14 different
lighting effects modes. It also has that RGB mode. So, that means you can dial
in all these different colors. And on top of that,
because it is a round LED light, it's compatible with the Godox
AKR1 lighting modifier system.
So, if you wanted
to modify the light, you can use the lighting
modifying system from Godox's round head flashes because it has that
magnetic mount on the front. So, that means
you can use a snoot, you can use the barn door. I mean, it's a lot more
convenient to modify the light if you want to position
and direct it in different ways. The R1 has an internal
lithium ion battery. So, that means
it's battery operated and you can charge this
just like you can with the M1. It has a CRI rating of 98 plus and has a lux rating of 605
at half a meter. The light itself
is priced at 140 AUD and I'll throw the pricing
and conversion up on screen.
So, the smaller LED lights
as part of Godox's range are more suited as accent lights
or small run and gun setup lights and to be used as part of
a larger lighting setup. So, you have to consider
those factors before making decisions
to purchase. Now, while filming Godox
have actually announced a brand new LED light
as part of their range. It's not actually released
as part as at the end of 2020. So, it's probably going
to be released closer to the beginning of 2021.
And that's the SZ-150R. Now, this light here
is an RGB LED spotlight. So, it's a COB light.
It's zoomable also. And it means
you can actually mount Bowen's lighting modifiers
to this light here. So, it's great. That means it opens it up to
a wide range of different uses. You can mount soft boxes,
barn doors, beauty dishes, all different things.
It also has lighting effects. It has your color temperature
and standard modes.
So, it's bi-color.
And it also has that RGB mode. So, really excited
to see that one. And we'll definitely unbox
and review that once that's released. Now, having a look through
all of Godox's range here, as you can see
each of the lights have their own different purpose and they're all all different
price points also to match. It really depends on what you're
after in a lighting setup. So, if you want something
that's nice and portable, you'll probably be looking at
the battery operated versions. The ML60 is one that stands out. This one here
is battery operated. You can hand hold it.
It's really compact. You can use that
as a studio light also. Really versatile
for all those different uses. But you are paying
a little bit more for that. So, I guess the main things
to consider firstly would be the uses.
How will you be using the light? Will you just be using it
as part of a talking headshot, YouTube type setup? Or are you going to be
using these outdoors? Second would be price.
So, what's your budget and how much are you willing
to pay for a certain light? And will you be purchasing
multiple lights? Are you just going to be going
for the one light setup? Maybe you can go for one of
the stronger ones, 150watt.
Or if you're wanting
a two light setup, maybe a couple of
the 60 watt light. So, that way you have a complete
sort of lighting setup. And then you can add
some of those smaller LED lights
as part of accent light. So, you can see behind me here, I've got an RB light
used as an accent light. And lastly would just be the
features of the light itself. So, do you want those
lighting effects? Do you want color
temperature mode? Or do you want just
the standard daylight? So, our main stand out picks
would be the ML60 for pretty much a great portable
light that does everything. Or if you want
a more budget conscious light, then go for the SL60. Now, in the higher ranges
of lights, our stand out picks
would be the VL series because they have
that raw output. So, if you want 150 watts,
200 watts, 300 watts and you want more output
from your light, look at the VL series range.
Now, if you want effects,
then that's when you'll start looking at those
different model lights. But the VL series
really does cover most spaces in terms of a film video light. A special thanks to Daniel
