- There's a new light in town and it's making serious waves in the video and photography world- the Nanlite Forza 60, a direct competitor to the famous Aputure 120Dii but much much much less expensive, lighter, smaller and more portable for taking on location. It even uses tiny Sony NP batteries instead of heavy V mount ... but it does have an optional DTap cable if people want to use it for extended periods of time. The Nanlite Forza 60 uses only half the power but puts out the same amount of light as the Aputure 120Dii and the Stella 8000. It's the same price as the Godox SLB60 but smaller, lighter and more powerful. It even has an optional softbox. Watch and enjoy! Subscribe for more cool stuff.

Sorry about the mic noise rustle, it was really late and I was in a hurry, so embarrassing.
Didn't bother me. It sounded realistically normal, whereas I find it weird to watch a video where there is no natural shadow of anything. That's what we're getting used to seeing though.
Oh, I came back to add - Forza - pr. FORT zah and basically (without looking it up) means force or strong, and you hear shouted at races. So you are on the money with the race car reference.
I love Italian sports cars- I have 2 of them. They have a quality no other car has.
@@MarkusPix hi. God bless you my friend . Did you already try SOKANI X60?... In my opinion, similar product but better quality materials . Similar power , more cheaper $160,comes with reflector (bowens mount) , remote control and 5 colors covers include. Can use same battery pack.
If you have time try it. Thanks for read me.and happy new year!!!!!!
@@MarkusPix 😂
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I was in my local camera store and they showed me the Forza 60. I went home to do some research and your video has helped me settle on purchasing them.
I think you've just solved my lighting problem. I was honestly prepared to spend $$$ on an aperture light when I can get a few forzas for the same price. Very cool video
Love your energy man. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing Markus - that Nanlite looks awesome. Added to my wishlist!
Thank you Marcus, i kept watching the works of Joe Buisink for 3 years, i will be watching your channel for years for sure. Very informative and also consider those cheap ones that performs almost as close as expensive ones (provided we take care of it). It feels like i am watching a show on tv in a weekly basis. Please keep this up.
No idea who Joe is
You just saved me a LOT of time. Started to draw some preliminary conclusions; was considering Lupo, Aputure, Godox, … but now looking strongly at this Nanlite!
Also check these out czcams.com/video/Kx9Ag6UKnUM/video.html
Thanks for all the helpful info!
The reason why I love this channel and have been coming back is this man is not here to make money from youtube algorithms. He is here to empower the world. Now that is rare....
Um, he makes decent money from yt.
Great video man. Glad you shared this info with us.
Thanks Markus, I am going to get some of those FORZA!!
Information packed video again Markus!
Thank you Markus! Greetings from Mallorca.
Thank u for the vid. It’s exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks so much for this video, great job as always 🙌👌👌💪
Thank you great video, would love to see more portraits with the nanlight 60B
Relax p Diddy
Awesome! Thanks a lot!
Thanks very much, crazy and great review! You made me smile all the time :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MarkusPix well done, I'll be checking more reviews from you ;)
Thanks, great review!
Thanks for sharing Mark. You rock
Love your knowledge about photography.
You mean lighting
Great tutorial dude, as others said good energy keep that!
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for your all the time you spent on this providing some great info on these lights. Question - between the lights that have fans (running full power), how does the fan noise compare from loudest to quietest?
Godox loudest, Stella semi loud at full power but quiet @5000 L, Forza pretty quiet at full power and silent at half power, and 120Dii nicely quiet at full power
Great information for us newbies!
If I remember correct, the original broadcast forza light was from Italy and d tap from the 70s. It was used on old Sony broadcast camera.
Excellent pratical, honest review as usuel.
I have the Godox. And I just bought the Aputure fresnel. I know it's one of the best investments in lighting I just made. Thanks for this heads up.
Isn't the fan noise a problem while shooting interviews?
Great vides, thanks for sharing!
thx for all
review
Thanks for sharing a comparison of these lights. The brightness rating seems a misleading for the Nanlite Forza 60. I think the brightness takes the reflector into account in a lot of the published statistics, and I can't seem to find the raw output with no modifier statistics anywhere. I think because of that, the modifier it comes with boosts the lux at 1 meter, two to four times raw output. For example, the Aputure LS C300 II is 11K Lux at 1 Meter, and 45K with reflector. Nanlite Forza 60 is 11.9K lux at 1 Meter with reflector.
I took the measurements myself in the attached downloadable chart. Nobody uses bare lights- they use at least a reflector.
Thanks for another fun and educating video!
Would you say the forza has enough power to be used as my only key light and with a large softbox so that I can illuminate a few people?
The Forza has an Bowen mount adapter. So I’m curious to see what will be the output of that Forza 60 with the the Aperture Fresnel?
Love your informative and enjoyable videos . The 120 d is reccomend by everyone. But this Forza is awesome
Hi Markus!
I ended up buying the Nanlite Forza 60 on your recommendation for outdoor videos. It's been great! I've even thought about getting another one, maybe even the new bicolor one, as it's a little annoying attaching gels on location.
The only problem has been the bulkiness of the battery attachment.
Did you end up modifying yours like you said in the video?
Thanks, I love your videos!
Thanks so much Mark. I 'm looking into getting the Nanguang, but it looks as though it's Bowens mount is smaller than the standard size - so I would assume my existing bowens mount accessories wouldn't fit
???
You should try to check godox ml60 too.
Try the Godox FV 150 or 200, cob Led with flash ! The Godox SLB 60 is about $ 100.00 less than the Nanlite with batteries so we do love to see more cob lights, but Godox has a 4 times flash also FV 150 ! Aperture and Stella are over priced, but they also don’t manufacture lights as to where again Godox most certain does manufacture their lights ! Marketing bloat is all Aperture and Stella have to offer ! Two of those SLB 60’s should over power the sun also !
Great video keep up with the great new breakthroughs in lighting !
Why you have so few subscribers? Great stuff. You are doing a great job! I bought two godox sl60 for studio and I just bought nanlite. Unfortunately, nanlite in Europe is not available. Why?!
I just got a 120D II and i was thinking about getting a Clar Illumi Max 120 (and I think you should check it out also), but now i'm seriously thinking about this Forza one...
Hi!
Really appreciate your vids. And ur give aways is fantastic, too bad i live in Sweden tho.
I did look for the links for this light and the chart, as you said would be here...but i couldnt find em. 🤔
Oops sorry www.markusrothkranz.com/battery_lights.jpg
Would love to see that Nanlite in use and the Dedolight as well.
I did show the Nanlite in use czcams.com/video/ZUveE0GtYLg/video.html
You make good and informative videos. I am thinking about buing the Nanlite Forza 60, but then I see that they have Nanlite Forza 60B. And then I am not sure which one to buy. The 60B gives me more possibilities, but I think I saw a video that the 60 is a brighter. Do you have any videos with 60B. Which one do you think I should buy?
The Nanlite Forza 60 has a Bowen's mount adaptor ^_^ so you can place the 120d's Franel now to the Forza 60
How strong it is then compared to others?
We know
Hi Markus. Do you think Forza 60 can withstand some rain or snow?
Which battery are you using? I use 2 durapro (chinese sony style npf battery) 5200mAh 34v batteries and can only keep the light on for 5 minutes
Wooow excellent for travel... the stella is just less bulky...
When batteries go bad, society throws em out. On the Stella that'll mean we throw out the light too, or at best, we'll be left praying that their obscure/proprietary battery is still available. On the Forza we're always gonna be good to go .....cuz NPF batteries are always readily available. Great vid Markus. Thx.
Great point - standard batteries are certainly a nice perk.
I've had four of my Stellas for five years now and they are as powerful as the day I bought them. I'm sure if that time ever came, the company can replace the batteries (for a cost of course). Stella's are not for poverty conscious people. It's kind of like people who buy Ferraris know when the time comes to change the engine belts, the engine has to be taken out. Just accepted par for the course.
Thanks, busy searching for Nanlite now 😁The Forza60 is actually cheaper in China, this might sound normal but most brands keep worldwide flat pricing. Light with battery handle and softbox about $250 on Taobao, Chinese shoppers rejoice !
Add international shipping, Trump tariffs and wait time... probably works out to the same cost :-)
@@MarkusPix Haha possible, although I think it's the fierce competition over here, only a fraction of the LED lighting available over here make it to the US or Europe. Shipping from China is surprisingly cheap by sea.
i assume the aputure amaran 100x is going to be a good bit brighter than the forza 60?
I’m sold
Does the Apurture fresnel work on the Forsa 60 with the Bowens adapter? Will it double its brightness too?
I own a Forza 60 (and the 500 too). A few things to note:
- It does NOT COME with the battery adapter you see here; you have to buy that separately.
- It does NOT COME with the fresnel lens; you have to buy that separately.
- It does NOT COME with a Bowens mount; it comes with a "Bowens-style" mount and you must buy special accessories made specifically for the 60 as Bowens accessories WILL NOT FIT.
Yes i mentioned all of that in the video czcams.com/video/ZUveE0GtYLg/video.html and czcams.com/video/ZUveE0GtYLg/video.html
How long does the Nanlite Forza 60 run on two NPFs at full power and if you are able to reply, please mention what NPF size/capacity is used with that test. Thanks for the great content!
2 Watson NP B-4206 7.4v 7800mAh 57.72 Wh batteries ran the light at 100 percent full power for 1 hour 40 minutes.
Thank you! This is very helpful information.
In the specs, it has a 'flash' effect. Can it be used as flash?
I want one!🤫😁
For Fun, Can you please turn all your lights on in the same room just to do it?
Could u make a video with RGB LIGHT Sticks i.e. Apurture MC adn the yougnou light sticks and also boling ones
I don't use RGB lights- they cannot produce full spectrum czcams.com/video/5U-F7EhLp7g/video.html
can you make a video to show example of lights from Godox SLB60 with the Aputure fresnel 2x? Thanks
You mean like this? czcams.com/video/WFW9Ej9Ukhk/video.html
I know this was from last year, but I'd be interested what you think of the Godox SL-200 or SL-150. I'm considering them because I have Godox AD600Pro, and these lights will work with the triggers that godox makes for their flashes. Haven't seen much yet on brightness though...
correction: fv200/Fv150
How long does it last at full power on the 2 NPF batteries? Thanks.
This is my question too.
It’s a real shame that Nanlite don’t do a Bowen’s adaptor. I’ve got lots of Bowen’s mount softboxes, but would rather go with the Godox if it means I don’t need to replace them all! Great video by the way. But please sort your lavalier out and put it under your collar to stop the rustling! 😂
Yes I know I'm so embarrassed about the mic noise. It was like 3 am and I was in a hurry. No excuses I know. I hang my head in shame. As for putting a Bowens mount on this thing would be like putting a horse saddle on a Chihuahua. Kind of defeats the purpose of a small device, but I'm sure an adapter is on the horizon
Hello! I want to know the most different options and features between the bitlighter and the Nanlite Forza 60. I really like the sharp shape of bitlighter, but I feel disappointed after saw your picture......It is unnecessary for me to buy this much expensive flashlight? Is it only normal and lighter flashlight? Hope your reply..................THX
The Bitlighter isn't that bright, but it is high CRI daylight balanced light that doesn't flicker and can be smoothly adjusted for brightness. It's best for night time on the town and isn't really bright enough for daylight use. The Forza is MUCH MUCH brighter, but has irritating battery attachment. If you want to be mobile with small self contained unit, I recommend the WellMaking mentioned in this video czcams.com/video/Kx9Ag6UKnUM/video.html
Hello Markus.
Nice cheap light...
interesting I was actually looking at the forza 60 yesterday but the godox equivalent seems to be better in everyway including the way the batteries are attached.
From my research on the lux at 1m (withouth the attachment)
Nanlite Forza 60 2884lux
Godox ML60 3040lux
Sokani S60 v2 3002 lux
So the Sokani vs 2 is the coolest - very good improvement over version 1 - but the Godox ML60 is the best and I believe it works with the godox ecosystem
Love the shirt. Link to the shirt? $500?
Nice review, but as for the price, you are a bit wrong here.
The Nanlite battery box is sold separately and comes without batteries or a charger. This means you also have to buy at least 2 NP-F type batteries and at least one charger (best a double charger) before you can use the Nanlite Forza 60. This makes a Godox a whole lot cheaper because there you already have the battery and charger.
That said, the Nanlite for me is the way to go. I don't know a better, smaller and more powerful lamp for on the go.
Yes I mentioned the Nan battery box is separate and that the Godox comes with its own battery
I know the $1500 light has probably got everything you need but like cameras and lenses these days, it shouldn't be a privilege to be able to own some basic but good lights for the 99% shooters, nice work by Nanlite and I think this trend will go on.
Hi great video once again. Is something wrong with the audio because I'm getting a lot of static?
I'm, sorry for the mic noise. It was like 3 am and I was in a hurry and the mic was too close to my shirt. So unprofessional of me. I hang my head in shame.
@@MarkusPix No need to apologize. I am appreciative of the work you put out and find your videos quite enjoyable. It is only normal for things to go wrong once in a blue moon. Thanks for your hard work.
Man if we get a good Bowens adapter for the Nanlite it would be unstoppable
I was thinking the same thing!
Putting a Bowens mount on this thing would be like putting a horse saddle on a Chihuahua defeating the purpose of a small device, but I'm sure an adapter is on the horizon
Dang!!! Lighting is expensive!
some people are here for the savings
How in the world does this man look like this at 50? for goodness sake?
The lights from rotolight are pretty cool and I think they just had a great deal on them. You should check those out too.
yes I have them. Way overpriced and not very bright. I listened to Jason Lanier too much a few years ago lol
@@MarkusPix Lol yeah it's crazy how a sponsor can change your opinion so drastically. The small neo arent that bad but the high end anova or whatever is so high. I would never even think of that.
@@bandages311 Yeah I got an Anova. Used it once. What a disappointment and waste of money. It looks impressive though.
Have you bought all this gear Markus or are you just 'selling it' for the camera companies? I would ask if you could do that first, tell them you are going to test their gear and make a YT video that will generate sales for them, and let them have the crap ones back afterwards and keep or buy the good ones.
That's too much hassle. The camera companies don't even know I exist lol. I just do what I want. If I see something that intrigues or excites me, I buy it and try it out. If I don't like it, I just give it away on this channel.
@@MarkusPix any video lights you have that you want to give away or sell for cheap?
Once you add the batteries the Forza gets bulky and awkward. Stella is.a neater package
I agree
All of you are very professional, but I am not, and would like to know what everyone thinks of GoPro. I am starting a web site for people who like historic homes, so I need to have good portability. Thank you soooo much!
A GoPro HERO8 Black might be good enough for you. I don't think they are good quality unless you record in the highest settings and at 4K. The batteries don't last very long either. They are more made for action recording to get stable footage that doesn't shake, they are easy to use, they are waterproof, and they are small and light weight so that you can mount them anywhere easily. I guess you would have to explain what you will be recording exactly to get a better idea if that is what you should get.
giancolabird, I assume you're talking about video, not still photography with the GoPro. To add to Starship Ghost's comments, those little action-cams have such a small sensor that the image can get pretty noisy fast indoors. If you're entering the historic homes for a tour, you may want to consider a larger sensor, but still portable camera. I'm thinking something like a Sony a6400, a6500, or a6600, with a Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens. I've filmed 4k video in very dark situations with that set-up and had fantastic looking video. But that said, don't let your gear hold you back. If you have a GoPro, get out and start shooting with it. You can always upgrade later if you aren't satisfied with your results. Cheers and best of luck!
Lights 2000$ = 70-200 2.8
Man... I stopped listen to the light review and just started enjoying your jokes and vibes.
Yap yap yap and yap 😏 Show us the comparison video Bon Jovi. show the video to explain itself
forza means force or power. sounds like a 300cc honda scooter lol
Hi Guys I own 3 of Stellapro 8000 RF I don't recomend this lights to any content creator not for video and not for photo they overheats al the time I can only use it at 6300 lumnes power for about 20 minutes than power gose down 8000 I'm not even trying the problem is that fan is not starting when the light is on for some unknown reason why it watts for the light to go hot it should start from the begining I'm realiy disapointed
I don't have that problem- they have never overheated on me and they run sometimes for an hour, but they are sometimes plugged in, maybe it's different than if they just run on batteries only
@@MarkusPix One of the lights dose not react to remote controler do you have any ide what might be the reason ?
oh neve mind it was just wrong frequency now is ok :)
Can’t seem to find a good stand to hold the Godox SLB60w with a light dome.. can you help with that?
I use this one for almost everything and its very lightweight for traveling www.amazon.com/Impact-Air-Cushioned-Light-Stand-Black/dp/B01M19ZQF5/ref=sr_1_21?keywords=impact+ls-10&qid=1574641120&sr=8-21
