hey everyone welcome to the channel in today's video we're going to be taking a look at this tiny
tiny little rgb light from sandmark and i mean tiny like take a look at the size of this compared
to a credit card they've put it so that it's just smaller than a credit card they've done
an incredible job at that and it's very slim so it fits in your pocket this is going to be living
in my backpack all the time because why wouldn't i take it it's just so small i wouldn't even forget
that i have it there so this is an awesome little light they sell four different lights sandmark
does this is specifically the prolight mini rgb there's the four of them are two are mini into
a regular size so these are the mini ones this is the rgb mini one and then they sell a bi-color one
with a kelvin scale and then they sell the same ones that are larger so we're gonna be taking a
look at these lights here what they have to offer a couple settings what comes in the box so just
so you guys know sandmark did send me this light so that i could review it and we can take a look
at it so let's go ahead and take a look at what it has to offer and see some practical uses for
this light and how i personally would use this light so it comes in this nice little box here
with a little magnet in the front once you open it there you've got your light and this little foam
thing so let's take that out and it also comes with this little hot shoe this little mount screw
mount here is actually quite handy here if you can see there it's got two little screws and then an
adjustable and a little hot shoe so what we use that for here is if you have the camera you're
gonna take this little thing off and then you're gonna put that hot shoe either your tripod or onto
your camera so in this case my camera there and then this one here will just screw on the top
once you've got it there you've got a couple screws there so i'm going to tighten the top one
until that's nice and tight and now i've got my camera with a nice light on the top
it also comes with a little baggie here a microfiber bag and it comes with usbc which
is nice to have a usbc cable and then a couple instructions in the bottom of the box so as far
as the light here let me just take the screw off here it comes with a little diffusion pouch here
this little diffusion is just so that it helps you diffuse if you're vlogging or you have this
pointing to you this helps diffuse it a little bit if you're trying to make it nice soft or light
you can use this diffusion pad let me show you the difference so there it is without
the diffusion and then once we put the diffusion it just diffuses a little bit
there's your example there's your hand with the with the diffusion and then there's without the
diffusion to turn it on you just have to hold the power button until it powers on
and then you're going to see a couple settings there you're going to see h s and v your h your
hue that's going to be your hue angle your s for your saturation and then your v for your value how
bright you want it so that's going to be your three settings your set will change it between
the three and then you've got plus and negative buttons here that will change it so for example
i'm going to be affecting the hue right now as we change the hue angle you can affect the hue and
there's this little chart here i'll put on top this shows you kind of the hue angle and where
the hue is going to be on the chart and then the saturation here if we affect the saturation it
shows how much saturation you want in the color so as we bring it down it brings it down to a white
and then all the way down here's your brightness is how bright do you want that light to be it is
nice that it goes all the way down to one so that we can control the light at one intensity
increasing by one increments of one so it's very controllable to be very specific how much you want
so that's really nice to know that it does have that another little thing that this light has is
that it is 96 cri which is color rendering index which is really nice to know that is how accurate
a color is so this is claiming to be purple the hue angle of 315 so it is 96 accurate on that
scale so that's really nice to know that it is an accurate color what it represents this light also
includes some effects if we click the m button here the power button it switches over to effects
and it's got a couple different ones as you can see your f6 has this one that just cycles through
them these i just find are kind of fun little things to do this one has a red almost like uh
i'm not sure what that would be what effect would that be kind of flashes between the
different colors this one is sos this one here you've got kind of a lightning going on
another lightning you've got police that's kind of cool then you've got this one which looks
like a plus maybe an ambulance and then this one i'm not sure what that would be
and then cycling again and then you can click the m button again which takes you back to
hsv so the only downside i could see for this little light here is that it does not include
kelvin scale so they do sell the rgb version and then they sell the kelvin version which
i don't have but that is the only downside it would be nice if they both were included in the
same version and then we could flip between hsv control and then over to kelvin scale and then
back to hsv so that would be something kind of cool i did look onto the internet and see
if there was any conversion from hsv to kelvin but it is a little bit more complicated than i
thought there was some people doing kelvin to rgb to a hsv the results were kind of unreliable so
anyways that's something if you guys know anything me put it down in the comments below
of how we can convert from hsv to kelvin anyways that's kind of a side note there for this little
light but this kind of light is not necessarily for kelvin scale this is more for adding mood
to your lighting now let's go ahead and jump into and take a look at a couple shots and video shots
that i got using this light and see how you can use this creatively and other options to
give you guys some ideas on how to use little rgb lights like this one i hope you guys enjoy
well i hope you guys enjoyed that video and i will see you guys next week have a good week
or weekend i guess when i'll be posting it probably on Friday if today's Friday so bye
