    Looks like it could be a good little light. Similar to the Intelliytech Pocket Cannon. Did they have any guess as to the price? I currently am using a Godox SL60W as key for our basement studio and it's been a good experience so far. I'd definitely be interested in buying more from them.

    How do we give them our money?

  • CidCid

    What about fan noise?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @Cid

    Have no idea, need really silent place for this :-)

    Usually such low power fresnels have no issue with noise.

  • CidCid

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev when we see such good numbers and with an expected low price we begin to surch for the catch ;o)

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @Cid

    Numbers are quite typical for good photo/video lights. It uses same quality led as Aputure and similar lights.

    Absolute top led numbers are 98.5-99.8 :-) And no blue peak you can see here.

  • halfmachalfmac

    When I saw the light I did not hear any fan. I was impressed with this little light. I use the Godox 60W in my studio.

    There is fan noise occasionally but very low sound.

    Looks like a little interesting light. Do you think that it would be suitable for on-location interviews as a mini key light with its dedicated softbox (SA-30)? I shoot guerrilla doc mostly, so no corporate "clean" stuff but more "cinematic" sh*t, whatever that means.
    I've bought a Phottix Nuada R3 that is decent, soft and powerful enough for my needs, but I can't control light spill in any way and I usually record interviews on very small places.
    The Godox SL60 is cheaper, more powerful but also heavier and i think that it could slow me down due to the big modifiers required, etc.
    Thanks for your feedback.

    Cheaper and better: https://gafpagear.com/shop/intellytech-pocket-cannon/

    Thanks @flash
    However, I can't get those locally and that's why I'm considering Godox products.
    Any feedback on the S30 as a mini key light for on-location interviews (with its dedicated softbox) or the best move would be to stick with the SL60 and deal with the bigger footprint hassle, would be much appreciated.
