Why Would A Photographer Want To Review This Thing?
zhlédnutí 8KPřed měsícem
Gelrova sent me their LED backpack to try out.. the truth is whats so intriguing is we are seeing this concept put to work in high end lighting systems like the Kino Flo Mimik where the lighting panels are large pixels playing video to “mimic” the organic light that would be in a scene into the scene for example it can play a clip of a subway car passing by and that light acts like a screen pro...

    I know exactly what street you are on in this video. Nice spot. When I do a shoot in public, I always instruct the model/dancer "to look at me. You may see another photographer or person with a camera phone fixated on you, but keep your eyes on me. So we don't miss any shots" I had a guy once ask to take a selfie with a dancer I was photographing, and I told him no. This is a paid shoot and time is $. He got upset and stormed off.

    Hey Seth! A buddy of mine told me about you and your work. I recently have gotten a job were I'm going to have to use lighting and it is not something I have ever had to really use because I have always been a photographer that uses what is around. I have done photography for over 20 years, but mostly abstract close up work. My primary job is graphic artist and have used my photography in my designs. This is a whole new world for me and I'm pumped!! I love your work and thank you for these videos!

    Well Seth, You sound enthusiastic. Especially the smallest version keeps you hooked. Try it for a few months ... or maybe six months. Then come back to it. Personally: I think it looks funny, but is it workable? Can you use it with other brand softboxes. Or are you completely dependent on Hobolite. Interchangeability is important to me personally. You have your own stuff and then suddenly something else comes along....

    That would be interesting Seth, but especially now that they own Red (and it’s already July), I do not see them using the Nikon name to compete with another brand in the family. The Z6III is a powerhouse and I already have 2 of them, but Nikon needs to catch up cameras further down their line (Z5, Z50, Z30) first. They also have to make Red price competitive with the C400. I would be shocked to see any Z-cine announcements before late 2025.

    • @LastXwitness
      @LastXwitness Před 15 dny

      This was a prediction for 2024 in 2023. Before anyone even remotely thought of anyone buying RED. The fact that they bought RED and have moved as fast as they have is Nikon IN cine. They have overnight acquired a user base and are smart enough not to disturb . Yea it’ll be a minute before hardware comes but this is Nikon in cine no doubt and considering RED has RF mount options they do have competitively priced cine options to the c400 that take that glass so we are in very interesting times

    • @waveland
      @waveland Před 15 dny

      @@LastXwitness Seth’s posting is from 4 months ago (or so the listing says), and at present the Red line is not price competitive with the C400. The 6k sensors are S35 and by the time you add all the parts and pieces to catch up to the C400 feature set you’re easily north of $10k and with the Komodo X you’re quickly pushing $15k. And if you want Red in full frame, then you’re starting at $25k plus then the rigging and I/O and ND etc. So Nikon/Red have a lot of regrouping and repricing to do over the next couple of years.

    • @LastXwitness
      @LastXwitness Před 15 dny

      Well hey I’m Seth and yea it was posted at the time of the red announcement of a clip from probably November or so.. anyways. Sure a camera that’s JUST now announced is going to have a leg up of anything that’s not been developed yet. Regardless there’s lower cost options in red. And yes you can go full frame vs super 35 or whatever you want. I’m just saying this is absolutely Nikon in cinema which is what I was stating would happen one way or another

    • @waveland
      @waveland Před 15 dny

      @@LastXwitness I have 2 Z6IIIs and a Z9, so I’m pretty much all-in Nikon for stills and hybrid. But I’m still needing to add a show piece cine camera to the mix (as you know far better than me, above a certain price quote, the clients want to see/feel like they are getting their money’s worth). At the moment the C400 is my lead contender and I have a preorder in place, but the rumblings are growing about an FX9 replacement announcement soon which would at least allow me to adapt E glass onto my Z cameras if needed. But for now I don’t see Red as an alternative. Internal NDs are too convenient to pass up, plus the expensive build outs of Red boxes doesn’t seem cost competitive to me in this price bracket. Global shutter isn’t that important. And if I need to shoot at a level above that, then the first call is to a rental house.

    I’m not sure I understand this brand. It’s both gimmicky and quality. I’m thinking headshots and product photography and maybe vlog lighting. Nonetheless, I do like the dome filter which makes the speckled pattern.

    Really love the smallest light with all the little modifiers. I use little lume cubes right now sometimes to add little lights here and there which has even less power so I definitely see these things potentially being useful to some. Only thing I don't like about the aesthetic of the hobolights, barn doors should be painted with musou black paint not grey. But that's really nitpicking.

    • @LastXwitness
      @LastXwitness Před 19 dny

      ah and Lume Cubes tend to get very hot no? the barn doors not being black..meh.. sure but its whatever its not like its casting a color or doesnt block the light

    • @AndrPhoto
      @AndrPhoto Před 19 dny

      They are really small and the heat needs to go somewhere. They get warm but never too got to touch. And yes the barn doors is really really really nitpicking since grey is fine and won't leave a cast. But I just hear Bicho's voice in the back of my head where he showed the difference in the light coming out from regular black barn doors and ones painted in musou black :)
