In this video I review the new Aputure 60d and Aputure 60x LED lights. These lights feature multiple power options, a Fresnel-style focusing lens, wireless control, built-in special effects, and much more.

The build quality is exceptional, and they include a high quality carrying case, as well as an array of accessories.

I also compare the Aputure 60d and 60x against some other popular lights like the Godox ML60, the Nanlite Forza 60, and the Nanlite Forza 60b.

This light is very close to perfect, but does have some color accuracy quirks on the low end of the color temperature range, as well as fan noise that might not be acceptable for certain people.
