    You can use thick foil and attach it using screw (to threaded hole on each side).

    Any easy way of mounting 4-leaf barn doors on these? Or just flagging?

    Got today the confirmation from the official Aputure Support:
    Also the tungsten LEDs (of the bi-color HR672C model) deliver a CRI / RA rating over 95 (!)

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Any news according the CRI / RA in tungsten mode?

    What you mean exactly? For fixed color version it is possible via filter only.
    For variable color version CRI must be very close to 95.

    If you looked at spectrums of leds it is usually warm leds that have better CRI.

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev:

    Any news according the CRI / RA in tungsten mode?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Available in our deals at

  • TscheckoffTscheckoff

    @Vitaliy: Hmm. Can you maybe ask if the HR672C also has a RA > 95 in tungsten (3200K) setting?
    As: Many lights lacks there (as they only supply high RA ratings in daylight mode or with the daylight models.)

    Would be great to know.

    Have these lights solved the flickering that effected the 528 LED? I have been so close to getting those in the past but couldn't deal with the flickering upon dimming or higher frame rates.

    Excellent! (in best Mr. Burns voice)

    Looks good… any deals on the horizon?

    Of course. as it'll be actually available :-)

    About the DC plug problems / faults - Read it somewhere and heard it in reviews on YouTube.
    (Sure - There are many units out there without any problems - Mostly you hear about the faulty ones ^^.)
    Though: It´s not surprising (as I know the stability of the connector - And similar computer style ones).
    Maybe it´s now better / more stable with the new HR672 - Who knows.

    About the plug: Sure - Dropping of the light is always fatal and a problem (with any port type).
    Though: Even the weight of the cable + the AC/DC adapter is often already a problem with such ports.
    Even a 90° connected 2.5mm DC port would be better (like it´s the case with most other units).
    (Also, because you can modify cables by yourself if you want to - As it´s a DC standard ^^.)

    Btw.: A magnetic holder would be nice yes (to prevent dropping) - Maybe Aputure can ask Apple to get it g.

    @Tscheckoff

    Show me the reports, please.

    In general it would be great to see more rugged "screw type" lockable DC ports on LED panels

    I am not sure that you understand that you asking, as you asking major problems on the set as anyone who will touch cord accidently will cause light fall, always, and it'll be very hard fall. Notebook connectors are generally made with same idea - round to prevent cord twisting and easy to unplug.

    Best solution is to do exactly opposite, use Mac style mag connectors.

    You can use anything screwed only on TV set.

    P.S. Please start properly format your posts

    Check out the older 528 models (which are using the same 15V DC port)

    There are many reports according the crappy / unstable DC ports (and port defects), as they are using "notebook-style" / "computer-style" connectors (no 2.5/5.5 DC or so for example - Which would be WAY more stable).

    Btw.: Had one of the 528 in the past

    • The DC port is really not the best solution
    • In general it would be great to see more rugged "screw type" lockable DC ports on LED panels. Too bad it´s not a common standard.

    Though: Fixating the cable is helping alot (and ensures that it´s not breaking - at least not that fast ^^).

    @Tscheckoff

    What exactly is "crappy" in DC port? And how it can be same on such different panels?

  • TscheckoffTscheckoff

    Seems like it´s equipped with the same (crappy) DC port like the other / older models. Though: I´ve the H160 here (with the same RA > 95 specified LEDs) - It´s a quite good light for it´s VERY low price.

    Btw.: There are again three models:

    • HR672W (with 75° beam angle),
    • HR672S (with just 25°) and
    • the HR672C (75° with dual-color LEDs).

    Super!
