Jared Polin: Its postman fro with a package for you. Bing ***. It's your generic package.
Hello. Anybody in there? I've got your package. Its postman fro with the generic package.
Yeah. Oh my god it's my generic package. What could it be? Yeah. It's so amazing. Okay postman
fro thank you alright. Oh I got so much stuff that I needed to help her today. Thank you
postman fro for showing up today at my door with this big case. It's almost a hard case.
Oh yeah smells like footlocker. Footlocker smell not like dirty foot. Anyway what is
in this case is what we want to talk about. This is from F&V Lighting. That's fvlighting.com.
If you guys recall back to the froknowsphoto RAWtalk from Las Vegas we had no extra lighting
that we traveled with, and I wanted to find a solution to travel with that would give
us the lighting solution that I've already said three times. That would give us the solution
that we were looking for to travel and have a lightning kit that would allow us to bring
in our own light, and that's exactly what F&V Lighting has supplied us with right here.
I did my research. I found them as a company that makes LED panels, and they're not terribly
too expensive. This is part of the three LED panel set. This is a one by one, so it's 12
inches by 12 inches. I believe it has 450 or so LEDs in here individual lights on the
back here it has Anton Bauer plate which I didn't even know what was. But I can attach
an AC power adapter here or a battery plate because it uses a generic Sony battery that
most video cameras use it. F&V sells for 19 bucks a pop so I put the plate on here, I'll
get anywhere from five to eight hours of life out of that which is pretty insane.
There's a dimmer up here. You've got your power switch. So I want to travel with something
like this. Three of these lights are going to put out enough light for us that it's going
to be just worth it for us to travel with. There's also the diffusion panels right here.
So we'll figure out how to attach to those to the front, looks like there's some screwy
mic screwersin [Phonetic] [0:02:28] and really you also have fold up small light stands not
very big, not very heavy. And the idea here is I'm not sure that we can travel with this
case itself, but it is possible that I can get a pelican case that this whole thing fits
in, or I can get a pelican case that we can take everything out of it and put it in so
we can travel and check it underneath the airplane because that's what we would love
to do.
But I'm really looking forward to use these. These are the daylight version. They also
make a tungsten version. I'm really looking forward to it because we want a solution and
I think this could come in handy especially when I go to Allen's Camera to make my video
so that's one thing they sent me. They also sent me this panel right here. This goes on
top of your camera. So if you're running and gunning and you need to get some extra light
you could also have some an assistant hold it wherever they want. It takes I believe
its six double As or you would get one of the rechargeable batteries, which I highly
recommend doing. And then the last thing that they sent to try out is a ring light of LEDs
with multiple -- there it is. There's all the LEDs. We have multiple diffusion panels
on the front. It also is dimmable here on the back and takes a rechargeable battery.
This one doesn't take double As but I'm really thinking that this would be great for stills.
You put your lens through here like this hold on, on the lens through here. This would be
like ooh. And what it does to put is -- puts the ring light around people's eyes, which
is pretty darn good.
So really, that's a quick look at some of the F&V Lighting that postman fro brought.
I highly suggest you check out F&V Lighting. They are not a sponsor, but maybe one day
they will be if I decide that I like it, and they have some marketing dollars and we like
it, but oh my God you could be like an airplane person or you could be like ooh, ooh, ooh
you know like this one, but anyway, these are pretty cool. I'm like, and I think you
guys would like to check out their stuff. Just take a look at the site fvlighting.com.
Thank you postman fro Jared Polin froknowsphoto.com, see ya.
