Yes, I did crawl all over the forest floor yesterday trying to take pictures of mushrooms, which I will eventually post on here too. But here is a behind the scenes shot of me with Aputure MC light trying to bright things up a bit

Mir ist vorhin meine Aputure AL-MX Taschenfotoleuchte in die Hände gefallen, und ich wollte sie aufladen. Das gute Stück hat einen USB C-Anschluss, also habe ich sie an eines meiner USB C-Netzteile gesteckt. Nix passiert. Anderes USB C-Netzteil ausprobiert. Wieder nix.

Dann fiel mir ein, dass in der Tasche ein USB A-auf-USB C-Kabel lag. Ein eindeutlicher Hint!

Schließt man das AL-MX mit diesem Kabel an ein „dummes“ USB A-Netzteil, dann funktioniert auch das Laden des Akkus.

Ein nervendes Relikt aus jener Übergangszeit in den 2010er-Jahren…

Brightest Cob Light : Aputure STORM XT52 is HERE!

Aputure has once again raised the bar in the filmmaking lighting industry with the unveiling of its latest flagship product, the STORM XT52. Announced on February 14, 2025, at the BSC Expo in London, this powerful LED fixture promises to deliver unprecedented performance and versatility for filmmakers and content creators alike. With its advanced features and innovative design, the STORM XT52 is set to become a game-changer in professional lighting.

Overview of the STORM XT52

The Aputure STORM XT52 is a 5200-watt COB light, claiming to be the brightest in its class with an output that rivals traditional 9000W HMIs. This impressive performance is made possible thanks to Aputure's new BLAIR light engine, which provides a tunable white light color spectrum and extensive color adjustability.

Key Features

BLAIR Light Engine Spectrum:

CCT Range: 2500-10,000K, allowing for a wide variety of color temperatures.

Green Adjustability: Full +/- 100% green adjustment for precise color correction.

Indigo Emitter: Replicates natural fluorescence found in daylight.

x,y Coordinate Color Tuning: Covers 70% of Rec2020 color space, enabling creative color manipulation.

Color Accuracy: High CRI/TLCI ratings (96) and SSI scores (87 for P3200 and 86 for CIE D5600), ensuring superior color fidelity.

Best-in-Class Output:

Lux Measurements: Delivers 48,000 Lux at a 35° reflector and 29,000 Lux at a 50° reflector when measured at 5 meters.

Dimming Capabilities: Features a remarkable 10,000:1 dimming ratio, allowing output adjustments down to just 0.01%.

Compact & Lightweight Design:

The lamp head weighs approximately 29kg (64lb) and measures 550 x 353 x 362mm (21.7 x 13.9 x 14.3 inches).

The control box is portable, weighing only 13kg (28lb) and sized like a briefcase (411 x 159.5 x 388mm / 16.2 x 6.3 x 15.2 inches).

This combination of power and portability allows for easy setup by a single operator, making it ideal for on-location shoots.

Availability on AWPRO

The STORM XT52 will soon be available through AWPRO, providing filmmakers with an accessible platform to acquire this cutting-edge lighting technology. This partnership aims to enhance the purchasing experience for professionals looking to elevate their projects with high-quality lighting solutions.

Best light for streamers without a lot of space.

Amaran is the budget line of video equipment for Aputure. And it is surprisingly solid for the price. You can get knockoff versions of most of their stuff from Neewer or GVM, but if you want something reliable that won't break in a year or two, Amaran is a good medium budget option.

They just released what I am callng the anti-ring light.

The Verge Max.

This is a ring light where they fill in the hole and give you an entire light. You can read a long rant about ring lights here. But the short version is, you don't want one unless you put the camera in the hole and are doing a tight close up of a face.

If you aren't doing a close up of a face (like for a makeup tutorial) then you just have a normal light with a giant hole in it.

You will get no magical benefits from a ring light under any other circumstances.

The reason ring lights are so popular (outside of being a fad), is because they don't take up a lot of space. A lot of people are streaming from their computer desk which is usually up against a wall. And you just don't have a lot of room to set up a proper light with a modifier.

Before now, your best option would be an LED panel (with the hole filled in). This one by Godox is pretty good.

It has a little remote and you can add batteries to make it mobile.

But it is small and in order to get soft light, you have to place it very close to your face or set up two of them. And it might get uncomfortable blasting a small light source into your eyes for long streaming sessions.

This new Amaran light is just as thin as a panel light, but its lighting surface area is like a proper studio light.

And it is round so you will get nice catchlights in your eyeballs (if you care about that).

So you can place it a little farther back or against the wall and distribute the light over a larger area. It won't be as piercing and uncomfortable, and you get flattering soft light.

I realize $260 is an investment. You need to be sure you can make good use of this light. But if you are in cramped quarters and need a proper lighting setup, this is a great option.

Otherwise, if you do have a little space to work with, you can buy the Godox panel (or use any decently bright light you have), and tape a $10 umbrella in front of it.

Don't sleep on umbrellas. They work great. They just spill light all over the place, so you have to be mindful of that.

But I took this photo of Chris with a $10 umbrella.

All you are trying to do is make the light source bigger. You can even put the umbrella on a ring light if you already have one.

Or you can bounce the light off the wall behind your desk. If you have a big white wall, use it as a light source.

The gold standard for video lights is always going to be a COB LED light with a Bowens mount. That last part is important. The mount allows you to attach any light modifier there is.

This Godox is pretty good for an entry level continuous light. I like them as much as Amaran.

And then you can throw an octobox on there at the size of your choice.

It even has a grid to help prevent light spill.

This setup is also great for portrait photography.

The Verge Max comes out in June, but here is a video of it if you have any interest.

Good lighting is a superpower. You can be using a webcam or smartphone and lighting can improve your image much more than just about anything else.

Because I have to socialize mostly through video chats, I have a little LED panel set up near my computer. Makes a pretty big difference when compared to the regular room lights.
