iFootage gave us the Anglerfish for the purpose of making this video. Nobody has paid us further, told us what to say, or reviewed this video prior to posting. All opinions shared here are our own.
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!
