all right guys so as I promised I'm doing review of the new RGB light
it's called metal metal not sure how you pronounce that but I'm gonna try to
cover as much things as I can I didn't want it to do review right away even
though I had this light for about a month now actually I supposed to do
review on this a little bit earlier but I wanted to test a little bit more to
see you know all the quirks with it and how this thing generally performs so to
begin with this light runs from AC from your power plug and basically from the
Sony ANF battery so that's very nice I'm not gonna go into digits because I don't
really want to throw just two random numbers out there I'm not sure depending
on the battery how long it will last but obviously from the power it does a very
good job it's not overheating or anything like that it's relatively very
cold so this light runs all the way up to eight thousand Kelvin and the coolest
thing about this you can control this light from the phone app and I'm gonna
go into that in a second that's why I have a little chart on the description
it's rated as CRI at 95 so I'm gonna let you be the judge I'm gonna try to upload
the highest quality video that the way when I'm changing everything you can see
the change my black magic right now running at 5600 Kelvin and I have the
light working at a hundred percent setup from pure white at 5600 Kelvin so this
is a default state of the slide so here's the chart and we're gonna go over
details as I mentioned earlier in my gear review video this light is full RGB
and it gives you fantastic spectrum of light you can dial basically any
temperature you like is it powerful enough yes I think for such a small size
it has a lot of kick it's especially if you setup properly right
now I'm doing sort of book light light shooting towards the camera and being
bounced back at me so you can see everything kind of even and I'm sitting
about one meter away from the big Pro photo bounce if you want to see exact
balance I'm using links in the description everything I'm talking about
it's gonna be down there so you be the judge I'm just gonna tell you
information my experience with it and basically you make your own decision
really quick what I kind of don't like about the light I don't like a little
flimsy barn doors it's very old school metal barn doors that come for the light
it's no big deal but it can be a little bit better I feel
a little bit outdated working with that kind of technology I guess if you want
to put it this way I think they could have done a little better job you know
better solution I guess with the barn doors besides that I don't really have
anything really negative to say other than again the barn door is kind of
clunky and you have to assemble them with little screws so not necessarily my
cup of tea working like that I like to be really quick on the go but I guess
you can have everything perfect let's jump into app and I'm gonna show you so
again right now we are at fifty-six Kelvin I'm gonna use this app so we
working with HSI how they call it hue saturation and intensity let's see I'm
gonna dial red and right now we can see everything like super crazy I look
probably like a vampire in my monitor over here so let's do green okay so
that's green we can do a little different so that's kind of teal this
one is blue looks crazy this one is purple we can manipulate saturation in
the app okay so that's 25 percent saturation barely this is about 60% this
is no saturation whatsoever it has that kind of
it's whitish tone and we back at saturation of a hundred and intensity
basically it's like your luminosity we can dim it down and we'll see everything
looks a little weird so let's do read again intensity 45 can make it more can
make it less very very handy so essentially with this kind of thing you
can dial a tea color you want you want to make morning you want to make night I
think it's very very handy this is fantastic
what kind of small size delivers that feature 56k we back where we started
now the downside another little downside that this happened by the way there is a
very funky way downloading this app you don't go to the store they give you a
little link that you have to scan QR code and then it takes you to the app so
unfortunately we cannot control preset presets this light comes with very
fantastic presets that I think a lot of you are the filmmakers really gonna like
and I'm gonna show you that's why I sort of placed everything within the reach
that I can show you really what it's all about so if I'm gonna go whoops if I'm
gonna go in the menu okay we have presets so everything is off right now
and number one preset is a caller face I'm not gonna even touch it so second
preset it starts right away is the lighting so if I'm gonna go we kind of
lighting going on so really cool hopefully you guys don't have a seizure
a third preset cop car freeze dirtbag so that's kind of cool if you want to
imitate a police car I think that's very handy again very prone to seizures I
guess paparazzi and that's a number four so this kind of imitates you know a
bunch of different flashes very cool number five stroke
so it goes really crazy this one definitely if you have seizures III
proudly at this point I should put warning before this video so none of you
guys can hurt okay fireworks this one is really cool it's sort of like flashing
different views in dims it so that's again can be very handy if you kill me
okay number seven pulsing so it kind of goes in a very weird pulsing way
interesting number eight explosion so yeah this one also looks
No number nine television and by the way on each of those presets you can play
around with settings you can like speed them up or do a different variety of it
so it's not just a preset as this you can either speed them up or dial
whatever so next one television so somebody watching TV again it's kind of
cool you know switching channels whatnot and number 10 is fire so this one also
kind of cool it's sort of replicating the feeling that you're sitting by the
fire so I think just these presets are very handy for indie filmmakers or for
somebody who's relatively on the small budget and can't afford you know bunch
of fancy stuff so it works pretty well again let's go into normal settings so
fifty-six kelvin and we're back actually 5650 so we're back to normal right now
so that's about it about the slide I personal really like
it I think it's very handy small size portable delivers very nice lighting I
didn't want it to light anything like professionally and crazy over here I
just wanted to basically bounce it straight so you guys can see I guess
what it does on a minimal adjustment minimal setup and in my opinion it's
pretty cool lights I don't know whatever you guys think leave a comment for me
maybe you have a question whatnot but I personally definitely gonna be using
this panel I think it's pretty cool so thank you guys for watching next time
we're gonna be doing breakdown of my color grading stuff of three little
short films I posted a couple of weeks ago and I'm gonna take you and show you
how a color graded and we're gonna go from there so thanks again and take care
