I'm actually looking for good lighting for youtube videos. Would this be a good one to try? or anything that could be suggested?

I would recommend 2 of these. They give a very soft light and I use 2 set up above and behind the camera for my YouTube videos just remember that this is just a soft box so you need to buy lights and stands also. For video I would recommend a cfl based video light because they are cheap and neewer makes light stands for around $15 each and they will do everything you need for simple YouTube videos.

I think it primarily depends on your material. So long as it isn't opaque you should be good. I experimented with a few translucent materials such as plastic sheeting, a backyard awning and a bedsheet and it looked great from the other side. You are always going to lose some brightness but thankfully this projector has a higher lumen count. You might have to customize your settings and bump up the values of brightness and tweak some colors, but you should be good for rear projection.

I personally own this for filmmaking and I think it would be bright enough for sure. But mounting it would be hard unless you built something because it takes two hands to hold/operate unless it's on a camera.

These lights should be fine just make sure that you have at least two of them. 1 for key lighting and the other for fill lighting and try to use and plain background (nothing behind you ) your videos will probably get better views for presentation.

I'm looking at buying a studio light kit with muslin backdrops. I will use it mainly for photoshoots with models but will also do portrait sets with a DSLR. The kit needs to bright, sturdy and relatively portable. I have not used studio lighting previously but i have studied studio photography methods. I want to get good results and I'm looking for experienced advice on buying a full featured studio light kit. Please post pertinent product links in your reply. Thanks in advance for your comments!

Yes it would be good but I don't like the lighting kit, it has to many parts, bit I use jus the backdrops the most with out the lighting.

I have the flicker with mine with YouTube and other video sources as well. Not sure what the problem is yet but I'm looking into it.

I have 3 bees and love em. For the price, they can't be beat. The only time you would really need to worry about inconsistent light output would be if you were shooting a catalog or something like that. But I'm sure you'd be renting profoto if that was the case. Besides, you can always fix white balance in post.

I like mine. It's not too bright nor too dull. For the price I'd suggest trying it as you'll never have too much light..

quick one that comes to mind is if you have a dark room, plasma should be better. But i personally like LED, aside from being a new technology, on a side by side comparison, the picture looks a lot awesome in LED than in plasma...

Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show. It does seem to have a problem maximizing standard light sources (apartment lighting), which might impact your filming. I have personally struggled to get the light sensors to create bright video even when every light in the kitchen is on. On the plus side, the camera does produce high quality, very large image files. It works for YouTube, but how it would translate to a full blown filming depends on if you are utilizing industry lighting or shooting in bright sunlight. If so, it should work well. If you are going to film in low light or darkened outdoor conditions, you might want to search elsewhere. Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show.

They have light in gyms but it's not good light. The lights they use often cause a strange tint. UNLESS you have a camera that does manual white balance like this one does. Hopefully that feature will make everything okay.I switched my order from amazon directly to butterflyphoto through amazon. Delivery estimate is before the 1st. I am hoping to video a gymnastics performance on the 5th. Here's hoping the HD performs well.

This light certainly works while recording or still shots. it also has a little knob to adjust the brightness. In my opinion very inexpensive and definitely worth the buy. You might want to buy a bracket for you camera because the light isn't small. If you camera is bracket ready then this is certainly the light for you. I own a Nikon p500 so our cameras are both similar In style but not the actual same camera. This is why I suggest making sure your camera would support the light either by bracket or your camera may even have something to already support the light on top. Sorry I could not help on the last portion of your question. But I would certainly recommend this light.

I would personally want a lot more light for video. I think this is better for still shots with a camera on a tripod and a slow shutter speed.

One needs good lighting for clarity. Good for concerts as long as you have good lighting.

McKAy105, Did you buy this? I am shopping for LED lighting for my 30" deep 150g tank, and would love feedback or other recommendations! Thanks!
