About this deal

Lot UD8,Upper Ground Floor Pudu Plaza Jalan Landak, off, Jln Pudu, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur As you can see with the hyper Reflector attached, the hot spot is very strong. In general, both the 100d and 200d have a tighter beam angle, and the reflector does make it noticeable. On the left 120d reflector and new Amaran Hyper Reflector o the right Featuring an all-new dual-blue LED chipset design, the 200x S has improved spectral continuity to achieve stunning spectral reproduction of an ultra-high SSI (Tungsten) of 90 and SSI (D56) of 89, an 18.6% increase in SSI from its predecessor. The 200x S also features super accurate color rendering, with increased CRI[95], TLCI [98], TM-30 RF [97], and TM-30 RG [101] values.

Comparing the two lights' physical features, Dunna prefers the manual knobs on the Amaran better than the SmallRig, and you can easily change the brightness and color temperature. Another plus is all the Bowens Mount modifiers you have available and Aputure has a lot of options including some new ones. I really like the new Light Dome SE as it’s a perfect fit. While the beam angle is tighter than I like, I personally don’t have issues with it. I tried a few different softboxes, and it wasn’t an issue. I like these lights in modifiers. Upgraded High SSI LED Design: SSI (Tungsten): 90+, SSI (D56): 89+ — Significantly Improved Spectral Continuity and Light Quality Going further, Dunna points out that while the Amaran 200d—the daylight version—had some fan noise, the 200x is nice and quiet. On the app, you can change the fan mode from Smart to Medium. Balancing Detail and Brevity: While brevity is key, it's also important to provide enough detail to create a rich, immersive world. Economy in storytelling is about finding that balance.

The SmallRig's fan, on the other hand, is much louder, and there is no way to control the noise that I'm aware of," he said, adding that the 220B will turn the fan on and off when it needs it, and even when it doesn't. Built-in Lighting FX: Paparazzi, Fireworks, Lightning, Faulty Bulb, TV, Pulsing, Strobe, Explosion, & Fire I'm severely splitting hairs here, and in practical terms, the brightness is nearly identical," said Dunna. Business Centrum GARDEN ELEVEN, 4. patro Kubánské nám. 1391/11 100 00 Praha 10 - Vršovice, Czech Republic I know what you’re thinking. Aputure has been making quality and affordable lights for some time now, but doesn’t SmallRig specialize in camera cages and accessories? You’re not wrong, as many filmmakers and content creators take advantage of SmallRig’s cages and accessories when filming. But they’ve been building other things, including LED COB lights.

The light includes integrated controls and offers numerous power options. The light can be powered via the included AC power supply or V-mount batteries with the optional Aputure 2-Bay Battery Power Station (sold separately). Seems reviewers are having an issue with the fan noise from the 200d. While it is louder and has a slight tone to it, I can’t hear it unless I put my ear up against it.

Arteri Mangga dua raya, RT.1/RW.12 Manggua Dua Sel., Kecamatan Sawah Besar, Kota Jakarta Pusat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota, Jakarta 10730 Brightness at 100% is nearly identical at 5600K, but SmallRig takes the slight advantage at 6500K while the Amaran is slightly brighter at 2700K.

Pros

The light has an integrated silent fan system to help keep it cool, and users can adjust the brightness and settings via control knobs and a simplified user interface. It can also be controlled via the Sidus Link app. Videographer, photographer, and music producer Dunna decided to pit the similarly specced Aputure Amaran 200x and the SmallRig RC 220B against each other to see which LED COB light is best for content creators.

Sawah besar, Jakarta pusat, 10730 (Satu komplek dengan Hotel Orchardz) For me, this isn’t a deal-breaker since I don’t use these types of modifiers. The only time I would is bouncing off walls or cards. I like softboxes, and both work very well with heavier diffusion fronts and internal baffles. Conciseness and Precision: Using the fewest words to convey an idea. This doesn't mean the story is rushed or details are omitted; rather, every element included serves a purpose and contributes to the overall narrative.

To test the color accuracy, I used a Sekonic C-700-U Spectrometer. The results are positive. Both fixtures are rated at 5600K, and they hit the mark very well. Let’s start with the 200d with and without the reflector. Trimming Excess: During the editing phase, writers look critically at their work to remove any elements that don't serve the story. This might involve cutting redundant scenes, streamlining dialogue, or even removing characters that don't add significant value to the narrative. In some ways, the yokeless design is nice, as the fixture is fairly light, so it doesn’t require one. The tilt range is excellent. The light can be point straight down or up unobstructed.Never the less Aputure is updating the fan with a firmware update soon. I didn’t have issues with it but if they can improve it then why not! Battery Power Option

I used it for live shots in my living room and it was a non-issue. In fact, I didn’t hear it. Outside of controlled studio spaces with no ambient sound, I don’t it will be a problem. As far as color quality goes, he feels that the Amaran is slightly magenta while the SmallRig tends to be slightly green. Dunna says the Amaran looks more neutral in his eyes. Removing Redundancy: Cutting out repetitive scenes, dialogue, or descriptions that don't add to the story. Redundancies can slow down the pace and bore the audience. Level 3, New Win g Ayala Center Cebu, Ayala Business Center, Cardinal Rosales Ave., Brgy. Luz, Cebu City.This will disappoint some folks, as the Amaran 200d and 100d fixtures don’t ship with an external battery power option. This is because they require 48v DC power, and no ENG batteries have this high voltage available from D-Tap. A controller would have to be used with mounts for two batteries, when combined, would deliver 48v. If this were added to the Amaran fixtures, the price would go up a lot and not be in the budget lighting space anymore.
