Yeah but hive is a lot more expensive no? Im in need for a an cheap 5-10k led light (or thungsten/HMI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm excited about this one, I saw the original 300D's price got slashed on B&H by like $400 last week so I assumed a new one was probably on the way.

Parker Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Per Ted Sims on the 300Dii, via Facebook: "Release date in the next two months! Yes, that is an all-in-one controller box. No more noisy ballast. The new design is all built together with zero fans, all passive cooling. 20% brighter. DMX added. Powerable from a single battery. Quick release super clamp mounting point on the controller box. 360 degree reinforced yoke. Built-in Effects and Wireless Control via APP."

UncleBobsPhotography Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I wish they would release the lumen values so that I would actually be able to compare the total light strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Wow curious what pricetag the 575c has. Do they run hot? Does it have a bowens s mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photographer-at-large Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Aputure's Ted says their new 300D II is approximately equivalent in output to 575W HMI at 2:20 mark of this video: 6 hours ago, zerocool22 said: Wow curious what pricetag the 575c has.

Could be, not sure. I feel that the 300D mark I is nowhere as bright as I need it to be, so + 25% isnt going to cut it for me either I guess. High iso camera's dont help out when you are competing against the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hmm so we have 3 options. From low to bright I think. - Aputure 300D II: 1500$ - Forza 500https://www.finanzen.net/nachricht/aktien/introducing-nanlite-a-brilliant-new-led-brand-is-born-7341911 2K$ - Superhornet 575c: price unknown? Not sure how practical a par light like a superhornet is. So maybe the Forza 500 is the best buy here? Any thoughts? Def looking at lights that are a lot brighter then the original 300D(which renders useless in daylight situations (with diffusion)). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
