In this episode Emma has a look at the iFootage SL1 200BNA, a 200-watt LED video light. This LED fixture is comparable to the Amaran 200x S in terms of both price and features, and scores surprisingly well on color accuracy measurements. In this video we’ll walk through the SL1’s feature set, take a look at its color quality, and do an in-depth comparison with the 200x S. Let’s jump right in!
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. See school.learnlightandsound.com for more info!
