Amaran 300c RGB LED Video Light,Bowen Mount, 2,500K-7,500K CCT with G/M Adjustment, APP Control,Key Light,Studio Light,Photography Lighting (amaran 300c Grey)

I am a real novice here, so I was immediately impressed with this light. What I like the best is that you can control the light effects and settings on the light itself and the app (and that it comes with a sturdy carrying case). This mounts easily on a light stand and is lightweight, considering all that it is capable of.

I know the word "budget" is relative and not every videographer/photographer wants to spend or can even afford $570 on a single light but considering the alternatives and the baked in features of this light, $570 is indeed a budget price. I have two Amaran lights, among several other non-brand name lights and this version is the standout both in quality and function in the "prosumer" level lights that I have.Fit and finish of the light and its accessories are great. I know Aputure has their Pro series but for the semi-pro videographer/photographer like myself, the quality of the Amaran series is just fine.For me, knowing that these lights come from Aputure gives me the confidence that I don't need to run color tests and scrutinize every little color shift the light may have in all of its various levels of output and color. My workflow does not demand such precision. I just need enough power to light a scene or an object, check my color against a card or in camera, and shoot it.If I had to gripe about something, I do wish this particular light had built-in battery-back options. I won't be knocking the rating because of this since I knew when ordering that it didn't but I think at this price point, Aputure could have thrown in a v-mount adapter in the case. Speaking of case, although good for storage in the studio, it's not going to hold up over time if transported regularly. Something to consider.

Considered Aputure's budget brand Amaran is far from budget quality when it comes to their equipment. And still, this Amaran 300c is a photographer/videographer's dream light! The measure and quality of everything is top-notch. In the hard-foam case, you receive the light with stand mount, Bowens mounted reflector, a power cable with a power brick, and an instruction manual.The light can be adjusted from 2500K to 7500K bi-color with 360° HSI control - Full RGB at 300W output giving you nearly 20,000 lumens - sunlight conditions at 2 meters. Absolutely, one amazingly intense light! There is an app you can download and use to control the light, however, I have yet to do this so I can't really comment on it.I have used the light now a good handful of times to create colored backgrounds for some of my shoots and I have to say it's a breeze to use. The controls on the back are laid out well with either a twist or a push to any of the knobs and you'll have what you're looking for. I know that with the app you also have access to 9 FX modes (Paparazzi, Fireworks, Lightning, Faulty Bulb, TV, Pulsing, Strobe, Explosion, & Fire).Overall, if you're in need of a light that can literally recreate sunlight - then this is the light you're going to want to pick up. There are several other lights out there that come close in specs but don't meet them and they're not made with this quality and have the reliability of Aputure.

The media could not be loaded. The light works till it doesn’t bought this light and after a year literally a few months past the 1 year warranty the lamp has started to flicker with no effects on. I messaged service and i had already done what they were gonna ask me to do which is try another power cord luckily i have another 300c to do that with and the light still flickers. I was told they DO NOT repair these lights and that since i was over the warranty the only thing i could do is get 10% off on a new light. 600$ for 1 year and no chance of replacement or repair is horrible customer service. Id avoid this brand it sucks cause i have 2 300c’s and 1 150c and now i know they were a complete waste of money.
