Aquilasfx Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hello, anyone who use this nice light? I would like to buy a Fresnel lens for my photographic and video works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Dedos are one of the industry standards. But Aputure and CAME-TV make cheaper alternatives as well if you're looking to save a buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I am trying to decide soon-ish for a kit for interviews, but powerful enough to light normal short film scenes, so I need some power. Is the Godox SL50 any good, or what? I have 2 or 3.000€ budget for a total of 3 lights (plus accessories). Dedolights are a staple in our industry, but i am affraid the 2.1 are not powerful enough for my use.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanWright Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The Godox SL60 is a great light if you can put up with the fan noise TurboRat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the Godox much more powerful than the Dedo's? Does any one know the Flolight Bladelights? are they any good? Aputure are not readily available in my country...

Aquilasfx Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Godox is ok, but you have to use crowns add some modifiers. I prefer in my style and for portability a fresnel and Dedo seems good. Try Arri and Lupo light. In my opinion is better to save money and invest them in less gear but high quality (assistance and poxibikitt to have many modifiers), in fact for flash pictures I usually considere Profoto or Broncolor as a standard.

Yeah that was my first impression but for £85 it was worth a punt. Its going on its first shoot tomorrow, I've alerted the sound guy already... will report back on what he says!

Kisaha Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 any other ideas? Did anyone checked the https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1244031-REG/flolight_bladelight18d_bladelight_5600k_led_light.html?sts=pi-ps ? great output, mimics Kino Flo design, and completely soundless. Very tempted..they are almost double price in Europe though.. I am reading a lot of complaints about Godox color accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladelight36 are 12792lux and the 18 are 6396, and I like the shape and usability of it. Adding a Fiilex or two (or similar) makes a full setup for most cases.
