Pro tip for using nanlite. The way you put them in standby mode is by pressing the brightness knob. Switching it off turns it off fully, but pressing the brightness knob just puts it in standby and makes it turn back on much faster.
In the three-light-comparison the 720B and the 720 looked the nicest for skin tones to my eye… but it also bothered me a little that the neutral colored wall in the back also turned a bit extra warm with those, compared to the Aputure. I didn’t notice it at first until I took a closer look at the side-by-sides.
Great comparison. The Nanlite looks great initially when compared to the Aputure, nice and warm. Then you see the white wall in the background is also a bit warm in the Nanlite shot. It’s great Nanlite is pushing competitors. Their Evoke with a variety of accessories is awesome.
Skin is a bit brighter while using warmer light, but it is becouse skin reflect mostly red light. So if red light dominate spectrum, skin and other things with warm colors can appear brighter then cold ones.
At least down south, you get days with low enough wind to use that light and diffusion outside. Up here (Western Mohave County), it's always windy... and the humidity is rarely made up for by actual rain! Also, the 600 looked pretty good, on my phone anyway.
I’ve got the evoke 1200 and it’s just the best. Its a shame nanlite doesn’t have the brand recognition that aputure does because their lights do generally outperform aputures in several ways. Been looking at the 720b for a while as it seems to be as bright as the 600d with the obvious benefit of being bi color
I like how you blend in VLOGing with information. Way to go to stand for your beliefs, I don't care about effects either in lights... I just like seeing the review of the main function. I like the 720 B look in the comparison
When you made it black and white, was it desaturation? Or was it channel isolation? Because if it's show ohh the red channel or likewise any other channel then the change in color will be reflected as a change in brightness.
If you simply want to cut to the inevitable, you can save money by burning out the talent's retinas with a 150W soldering iron vs. the whole high-powered-light-fixture approach.
Tips...don't use the strap that came with the bag. I was on my way back slinging the bag on my shoulder and the metal clip gave way. This light with the control weighs 10kg....its too much for the strap to handle.
Forsa has better skin tones and power but it is a new product. Aputure 600d is kinda old product compared to Forza 720. So I guess they will come with new one ;)
I like the skin tones in the 720 the most. the 720B felt like it had a lot of green in the skin tones and the 600D was too pink. Although the 600D might be more "accurate" I like the look of the 720.
Don't watch this video! You've been warned by the thumbnail.
It's true
I did not heed the warning & it was a huge mistake... it was right on the label

It’s the color accuracy on the skin tone with the 720 for me. Great video! Aputure is getting too comfortable with their products.
Lynn is back! She's more important than any light and obviously, more important than Thomas 🤩
Tks for for sharing!
I'm loving the office humor these videos have. Also that he's sweating like crazy all the time. Totally relatable.
Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! I want that 720B soooo bad! Such a wonderful do it all light.
Great comparison.

Lynn is back. Life makes sense again!
Kinda wild. Nice video.
I clicked 'like' on this video because Lynn is in it.
welcome back Lynn!

I thought she quit, glad to see her back hahaha

HEY!!! Welcome back!!!

Don't tell us what to do, Thomas! XD
5:05 Why not use false-color, the histogram or a lightmeter to be more precise?

I will watch it anyway 😆
All jokes aside, I learn so much from this guy - no one said ever
How did you mount your EVF with that type of smallrig top handle?
How bright are these to say compared to a 300w light? Are they quite literally more than double the brightness?

We miss you.
Nice video. Whatsup with The ground tone in The audio
Some real expensive flash lights there bub.
The 720B is my favorite
Is it safe to use any softbox (including ones for photography) with these led video lights - will they melt them?
Yes it’s ok
I love Thomas
glad they fixed the joints, the old ones on the 300 are really bad...
Aputure now has a aputure 600d which is cheaper than the 600d pro
Hi!! Make a video with a projector for backgrounds... it can be cool :D

After a long time.....
A video
*snap*audio
The 720B definitely got brighter at 4000
720B seems to be warmer
Lynn clearly subscribed to other channels.....
Can you make a video about cheap lighting again? or i will subscribe this channel

My thoughts exactly
Hey jerks, saw the warning on the thumbnail, don’t tell me what to do, watching so hard right now!
8:12
Yes, but who is Lynn exactly? Did Thomas pull her in off the street with promises of "exposure" and "candy?"
Yes actually
720 is the best then 720b
Advertising "constant output" is a bit of a scam when they're just dropping the max output across the board to match the lowest available maximim.
I mean I thought that was obvious? How else would the output stay constant if it’s not being lowered?
its not advertising its, its just a feature which can be handy when you need the light to change the temperature in a scene for some reason
I can't wait for Lynn to start her own channel so I can unsubscribe and stop watching yours.
