In this episode we try out the new X-Series LED2000 light panel from Dracast. This full RGB and bi-color LED panel is great for use as a key light, background light, effects light, and more. With high color quality and no cooling fans, this panel is also a great option for lighting your livestreams! In this video we walk through the LED2000’s well-rounded feature set, have a look at the remote control app, and examine the results of our color quality tests. Then we demonstrate all the great things this light is capable of! Let’s take a closer look!
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. school.learnlightandsound.com
