Let's get into it.
Inside this box here
is one of the smallest i-sticks on the market.
It's the YN60 Pro.
There's larger versions of this particular light
and it's the YN360-I, II and also III versions.
But this one here is a small i-stick
that's about 23 centimeters in length.
It has 60 LEDs and these LEDs are split between the warm LEDs,
the cool LEDs as well as the RGB LEDs.
They're in an SMD LED panel just on the front here.
There's no LEDs at the back.
So, some of these i-sticks have LEDs in the back
and some in the front
but it's all coming from the front of the unit there.
Now, what's included is the light itself
and just the lanyard, and that's pretty much it.
You can charge the battery inside.
So, it's a rechargeable battery.
But you need to BYO your own USB mini cable here
or USB micro it looks like.
So, if you have a USB micro cable
which most people do nowadays,
you just need to use that to charge the unit.
You can plug that into a wall outlet,
into a laptop or a computer,
or use a portable charger such as a portable battery.
So, it's really easy to charge the unit.
Now, there's nothing else inside except for the manual too.
It's really easy to use.
There's not too many buttons on the back here.
Five buttons in total.
And you've got a little LED indicator.
And you've also got a USB type-A port here.
Now, that port there allows you to charge your phone.
So, it's a bit of a random feature to have
but you can plug this directly into your phone
and use this as a portable battery charger.
So, if you're stuck in a buy and if you're traveling,
if you're carrying it around with you,
perhaps you're using this as your main light
for a run and gun setup.
You can plug this into your phone to charge your phone.
Now, to turn it on all you need to do
is press the on button there and the light turns on.
And you can see the little LED indicator at the top there
actually has the color that you're referring to.
So, this has an RGB mode.
So, the LED was blue.
So, that means you're on the B setting.
You can plus or minus this particular setting
and that actually changes the light.
You can see there it's changing the light
going to a more intense blue to a less intense blue.
You've got RGB mode here
and you've also got white yellow mode.
So, you've only got two modes, really straight forward to use.
RGB cycles through red, green and blue.
Now, there's a couple of disadvantages
with this particular light.
Firstly, not having an LCD screen.
So, you don't know what RGB mode you are actually dialed into
and also same with the color temperature mode,
you don't know.
One great thing though they have added
is bluetooth compatibility with the Yongnuo app.
So, if you have a smartphone device
you just need to jump into the app store.
If you've got an iPhone, the iPhone app store.
Or if you've got an Android, jump onto the Google play store.
And you actually download the Yongnuo.
Turn this on, find the Yongnuo app and launch it.
And it should actually just say
'searching device' at the top there.
And if it doesn't auto detect,
you have a device list on the app
and I found the YN60 Pro there.
Then now, I've got a screen here using my phone
to be able to control the intensity of the light.
And also changing the sort of RGB color
that you need which is great because you've got some sliders
on the actual Yongnuo app here that allow you to just dial in
the exact RGB numbers that you need.
So, you've only got an RGB range of 100 on each.
So, from 0 to 100.
And you've also got a brightness intensity for both too.
On the front of the light there,
you can actually see the three strips.
So, there's 60 LEDs in total.
So, that means 20 LEDs for each.
But what you'll notice is when you're using the RGB mode,
only the middle strip there is actually being used.
The actual side strips there are just used to increase
and decrease that intensity.
You can control all strips of LEDs
through the app which is nice and handy.
Some specs for the light include that it has a high CRI rating.
It's 250 grams in weight
and it's about 3.5 centimeters in diameter.
So, it's quite small.
There's a few different ways you can mount or use this light.
So, firstly you can use a hand held.
If you have an assistant
or if you have a mount, you can do that.
Or you can put it onto some sort of bracket.
So, we've got a little ball head bracket here.
And we've also got a small desktop stand.
So, you can use this as a form of light.
Maybe you're just doing like a little YouTube video.
You can use this as a side light out of frame.
And then you can use little ball head
to sort of maneuver and position
the actual light in whatever position you need.
The last option would be to mount it directly to camera.
I've got a little forehead bracket here
with a cold shoe at the bottom.
Just mount that on here.
And if you've got some sort of camera cage
or you can mount it directly to your camera hot shoe
and there you go.
So, you can use this hand held
and also sort of have a light as well.
Now, the main reason you use a light in this sort of shape
is for that sort of accent light.
It gives you that unique throw.
But not only can you use it upright,
you can use it horizontally too.
So, these LEDs have a wide spread of light.
They are very useful in the fact
that it has this sort of small form factor is really good.
Now, the actual battery is 5200 mA.
So, it's quite a large battery for its size.
You get about two and a half hours
or about 150 minutes of usage at full output.
Yeah, just overall it's a really great light.
So, if you want to sort of use this
in a lighting configuration,
you may use this and then maybe a couple of other key lights.
And basically this would be a perfect addition
to your lighting kit.
It's relatively inexpensive.
in Australian dollars, it's about $130.
It sits on that lower end.
It's more comparable to something like the Godox R1.
So, that was just a quick review
and unboxing of the Yongnuo YN60 Pro.
