Thanks for the in depth review! Just bought a pair of these and I'm loving them so far!
I waited on purchasing these because no one had reviewed them yet.....hoping "you" would. So here I am, leaving an event at 3:20am, sat in my car to drive home, and decided to scroll through CZcams before driving off.
And BOOM.....yours is the first video I see upon opening the app. And it happens to be about the 1500D!!! How crazy is "that"?
Thanks man. I haven't even watched the review yet but decided to comment first, just to thank you. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Man… my viewers…you guys are the BEST. Thank you so much for the love. 👊👊👊It’s my pleasure to provide y’all the best video I can possibly do.
ArtVideo Productions You’re more than welcome. Your efforts are very much appreciated.🤘🏽
I really enjoy your deep dives into these lights. I just got 2 GVM 1200D lights and really like them. I got soft boxes as well and your video on installing was super helpful. I appreciate the smaller footprint compared to an umbrella light I was using and I mostly got them b/c I started noticing wavy lines in my videos, so hopefully this solves that.
Thank you very much for enjoying the content I provide 🙏. Anything I can do more, please let me know. For these panels, the BEST diffusion would be using a translucent diffuser panel in front as demonstrated if you have the space. Thanks again and stay safe!
What softboxes have you found that fit these lights? I can’t find any.
@@david243121 use a diffuser in front. Just as good, but less lighting control .
Wonderful! I was considering these as a lightweight solution to be boomed above the talent in some challenging situations where you can't really hang a COB light with a huge diffuser.
Yes, that will work.
Great Review, I just finished watching you're review on the 1000D. I've been trying to decide between, the Neewer 660 3 pack and the GVM 1000D...but now thinking about the 1300D and 1500D. I do have a question though. The main application I'll using whichever kit I decide on is primarily Product Photography. I'm the Creative Developer for a Diesel Performance shop and we produce our own after market diesel product and so much of what I shoot is for our E-Commerce site, but I'll also doing more commercial/creative work for several magazines we advertise in. With that in mind, the question I have, are the 1000D, 1300D and 1500D light enough to mount on table top stands? For the E-Commerce shots, it's all on a white background and so I like the idea of being able to move the lights round as needed without using up space with huge lights stands in the way. To give you and idea of what I'm shooting on. I'll be using a 49.5 in. x 24 in. x 30 in. table pushed into a U Shaped counter, that will give a total working space of 84 in. x 48 in. some of our after market fuel systems tend have a lot components and my previous space and lighting made it challenging to shoot just the way I wanted...These LED panels just might be the solution I've been looking. Appreciate you're feed back. TIA.
Glad there's finally a video on these lights because I definitely bought them a couple days ago. Hope they make a soft box from them like the 1200d
I’m always the first channel to review all GVM products as I have exclusivity. Anything new they send here. Glad I could help.
When do you think they’ll have a soft box for these?
@@david243121 nothing mentioned so far… hopefully by December I’m guessing
My favorite lighting guy 🤙🏽
Appreciate the tips and the indepth guides/reviews💚
I have the 800D but have been wanting to upgrade to something more powerful such as perhaps the 1200D or now this one that you're showcasing.
However, something I just thought about that could be an issue is the weight difference. Would you say the stronger Gvm lights are noticeably heavier and bulkier over the 800D? Particularly as a 3-light set.
Thanks for the love man!
The 1500D is not heavy at all and twice as powerful. Also, if you’re looking for a very powerful light, check out the GVM S300S too. I have also reviewed it if you want to browse around the channel. It’s not too far from the last videos…
@@ArtVideoProductions It gets so heavy for me carrying all my equipment to locations and my 800d 3 light kit bag is the heaviest 🥲 Also their bag that opens two ways is pretty uncomfortable so I’m hoping they have some new versions. Could be just a thing with 3 light kits though as I saw a video of 2 12000D kit and the bag looked great. Watching your S300S video now 👍🏽 I’m thinking of getting two 1200D lights (instead of three because I imagine the weight would have me overcumbered) and one extra powerful spotlight like the S300s or perhaps a fanless version
@@Mike0193Azul you have it easy lol.
you should see my load when I shoot. It exceeds 1000lbs 😅
It requires some serious gear such as the Rotolight Titan X2 panels and other heavy ones, C Stands, large field monitors, jibs etc. I’m getting too old for this…
@@ArtVideoProductions Unless you already have one out, I would love to see a video comparing such expensive, heavy, professional lights vs more prosumer stuff such as GVM.
Other than reliability and power, I would like to know what I'm missing out on from more professional lights. I've invested a lot into my video & photo quality and now doing the same with audio. Looking to se if I should also not hold out on light quality as the 800D's are only useful in dim lighting.
And I hear you lol that's crazy how much you carry. I carry the maximum amount I possibly could without passing out going down/up my stairs in one go. So I tend to look into smaller, lighter weight gear when I can.
@@Mike0193Azul here’s a video that you should watch comparing to really expensive lights czcams.com/video/ujP6_IsJQh4/video.html
As always, when I think of the new light, I'm here at your channel ^__^ I'm curious if it's possible you could do side by side comparison of this GVM 1500D vs Godox sz150R. This would be awesome! and you will be the FIRST 100% sure of that! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks man. Comparing the two…These two lights have nothing to do with each other for comparison…
Hi there. I like your reviews. does the 1500D panel now have a soft box adapter available? we want to buy a kit of 3 for studio portrait photo & video shoots. we're in Australia.
Yes they do. Search on Amazon. I don’t know if will be available in Australia. Try buying from GVM directly.
Thanks so much for the in depth video. I am in the process of buying some lights for the Sony FX6 I am purchasing. I am looking at these lights or the 50SM. I like the dual sided aspect of the 50SM but I am concerned it wouldn’t be bright enough. These would be the only lights that I would have currently. I would love any thoughts on these. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks. First of all, to determine if they are bright enough, what are your shooting with these lights?
@@ArtVideoProductions mostly interviews. I am not sure if the 50SM would be enough for a key light or if I would be better with the 1500. This will be my primary light kit to start with and hopefully can add to it down the road.
@@shawnpeppers4840 get a GVM S300S (which I also reviewed not too long ago) for keylight
And then the GVM 1500D. You need a Bowen’s mount light FIRST if you don’t have anything.
@@ArtVideoProductions thanks for the input. I will check that video out.
@@shawnpeppers4840 please use my links, I appreciate it 🙏🙂 they don’t cost anything extra and it helps my channel.
So do you think the 3 light kit (which i purchased) is good enough for interviews?
If you do as I have shown in the video, yes they will be ok. (Small room size). For bigger areas, for key light, you’ll need a 200 watt COB light + large softbox minimum, especially for rooms that have windows during daytime which is always the proper setup for keylight.
Are the RGB lights actually outputting the full 75W on these? Or, is the output significantly reduced.....due to the nature of how RGB's (output-wise) inherently function?
The full 75 watt is achieved when setting this light CCT to 4400.K at 100%
RGBs are ALWAYS a fraction of the power, on most lights because they are tiny diodes uses less energy, even if they are as bright as the CCTs
@@ArtVideoProductions Yeah, that's what I figured. So it's probably best for me to get something like the Godox SZ150R or something.....where the RGB's output is reduced to approximately 60W or so. Whereas, this GVM unit will output it's RGB much less than that, in my opinion. I have neither of these units, so I can not personally test them.
@@strangerpresents4535 in the U.S., no risk…as long as you buy from Amazon or BH, you can buy either one lights, and if you don’t like it, return it. That simple 👍.
Muito obrigado por este ótimo vídeo
Tamos aí primo! 👍
Hi
I would love to know something interesting
I own a photography news site in Israel
And my question is do those who do reviews and marketing videos on such and such companies get paid - am I supposed to demand payment for it?
It depends on what’s involved… sponsorship, etc. On my channel, I simply review items. I don’t get paid to say or do anything and I’ll keep it that way. No, you can’t demand payments.
@@ArtVideoProductions But the products for example do not stay with you, you are required to return them?
@@gavriel_adi no. I keep of course. I don’t consider these as “free items”. Some of these reviews take 3 days to complete. They are exhausting! It’s a lot of work. Just as much work as a corporate video.
How would you compare these to the new 1300D? Thanks
Identical, 15% less power.
@@ArtVideoProductions what about the size difference? The 1300’s are smaller / more portable probably. Also they fit more standard sized small softboxes because they are under 11.5 inches. Does that versatility make them worth it over the 1500? Or is that extra 15% power really good to have ready at any point?
I’m shooting solo, need to be somewhat portable. Some talking heads, but also some quick interviews on various locations of the events. I will also use them for other projects, and use them as hair lights / fill lights when I’m using my Godox VL150 as my key light (yes i have a COB ;) )
I really just want versatility and ease of use for many applications, and yes, being the key when needed.
Any recommendation? Thanks!
@@david243121 the 1500D is also very portable and light. For interviews, you can’t show up with tiny lights, especially if you deal with windows in the room. They are not enough. You should get the biggest panels you can get.
How are these GVM-1500D compared to 1200 D?
Same exact thing. Same LED type, diodes, Bluetooth and FX.
The only difference is the power.
I prefer the 1500D. 75 watts, it’s also prettier, rectangular shape
@@ArtVideoProductions got it will it be any helpful for photography too ?
@@maheshgvelly only if you shoot at wide apertures (f1.4, 2.8) and get them very close to keep up with a shutter no slower than 125 assuming the subject is motionless.
@@ArtVideoProductions I see then 1200D would be any better than this ?
Hi, dear, Your video is fun, can we invite you to make a video for our product?
