  • @EldenEleSinema

    The Logic behind this: 1) One stop means you should double the light. 2) Inverse square law says: intensity1/intensity2=distance1^2/distance2^2 3) so intensity1 being x, intensity2 being 2x (as we want to double the light) 1/2 is our intensity ratio. 4) so distance1/distance2 = 1/√2 5 so to double the light you should √2 change the distance. Which is approximately 1.4. Where you get the ratio between distances (also f-stops) 1 meter, 1,4 meter, 2 meter, 2,8 and so on… 1.4 is the ratio when you double the intensity or half it…

    Gearing up for a show and weighing the budget options/intensity options of a 2400B vs. a 1200D. Looking at your previous videos, the 1200D with the (15 degree) narrow reflector comes in at 61,600 LUX at 3m. The 2400B with the 45 degree reflector comes in at 34,400 LUX at 3m. Is the 1200D really nearly twice as bright? More familiar with the Aputure series along with ARRI HMIs. Are the main advantages of the Nanlux 2400B the G/M, Bi-color capability, and intensity across spread of the beam?

    The price point as you say is tricky to work out. The ETC Series 3 X8 Lustr with a 26 degree lens is the same price as the 600C Pro, without the Spotlight Max, and has the same light output. Which means buying a Spotlight Max for a 600D is tricky to justify financially, and ETC products are outstanding Re shelf space, in theatres we used to hang all the lights from pipes in the ceiling of the lamp store to use max amount of space. Works really well, and same trick works in vans

    • @Dfproductions865foryou
      @Dfproductions865foryou Před 20 dny

      I think the biggest thing for field gaffers is that a fixture is more valuable if it's more versatile. Yes, the X8 Lustr is a great fixture at a respectable price, but the 600C can be used open face, with fresnels, with bowen's modifiers. One light that can tackle multiple jobs is much easier to justify, not to mention the rental market for 600C's is arguably better than ETC's.

      @RobertHollingworth Před 19 dny

      @@Dfproductions865foryou I do agree with you. I use the Series 3 in the studio where they are permanently rigged and fast to use there. They aren’t, however, an easy item to fly and use remotely off batteries for example. About half of my work is abroad in often remote environments and for those I take the 600D and accessories as it’s more practical in that environment. However if purely talking about light quality, then the Series 3 is by far better. Different lamps for different purposes I guess, and it gives us all something to chat about! 😆 Oh and let’s not forget the ETC is born with theatres in mind. They have true theatre blood in their veins and for live entertainment work there really isn’t anything better. I am naturally drawn to them because of my background working as a spark and then LD in theatres before moving into film and telly

      I’ve got 6 ETC Series 3 with 26 degree tubes and fresnel lenses in the studio which I shoot a lot with Aputure lights on the same set. Anything from interviews to products with 1000 fps Veo 4K camera. The Series 3 leaves everything else standing when used at the same time. Their colour is amazing , and dimming is like nothing else especially tungsten mimic mode when dimming (if you like that!). My gaffer here in the UK loves them and their panel lights are great too aside from weighting a tonne. Really recommend trying them. I can intro you to ETC if you’d like Andrew?

    Look forward to hopefully seeing you at Cinegear. Love to meet you face to face to show my respects for your work on this channel. As for the spotlight max… This feels like a mixed bag. I really love how far Aputure has come with their products and continue to push the envelope in terms innovation and user feedback and how they incorporate it. You can tell a lot of work in R&D has been brought to bear. But I feel like this is a fail. Not a complete fail, but one I wouldn’t feel comfortable releasing into the product line of great products. There’s high expectations that they themselves have set. But if you are going to make a product make it better than it was before. This is an extremely well built product. But sometimes even if something is great in build quality, if it doesn’t live up to the hype in terms of what ultimately what it is there to accomplish: -superior Optical clarity with all the use of accessories -Great color accuracy with minimal aberration -Output magnification well above native lumens -Rotating barrel and physical functionality I’m really inclined not to fall in love with this product. I know a lot of us out there really wanted this from Aputure. They clearly put a lot of work into this but I don’t know where they ran into trouble. I don’t build lights and I’m not prevé to how challenging it must be to make this sort of product for basically multiple different point sources and make it good for all of them. I’m only a Gaffer and I know what I’m looking for. This isn’t it. Love your channel, love Aputure, I don’t love this.

    There is so much chromatic aberration that I doesn't feel too bad with my Spotlight SE anymore. It should be unnacceptable for this cost.

      I was very impressed with the SE.

    The focus shift / chromatic aberration at the edge of the gobo is very dissapointing. Especially for a fixture of this size, cost, and build. They should have done better.

      If you’re looking for more chromatic aberration when you use the source four adapter with the source four lenses, there is more chromatic aberration and that is sometimes desirable.

      it varies with the lenses. 36 has the softest performance, but 19 and 50 fare much better. I tested every conceivable combination you can think of ...

      @@timkang1980 Fair point. I made that comment after observing the 36 degree lens performance, then rewatching the Amaran Spotlight 36 test. It's not good when there's such a noticeable improvement in projection quality coming from the cheaper little brother.

      @@SimplestUsername You can't use the Spotlight SE with anything more than a 300W fixture. Sometimes that is not enough for the job. But I agree the aberration should be better for the price
