welcome to my unboxing and first look at what is apparently sort of some kind of
voodoo magic when it comes to uh when it comes to consistent lighting that we can
use in the studio and carry around with us so this is the kinof flow Diva light
kit 401 which comes in an awesome carrying
case so I can already see that so we're going to go ahead and uh wow
this is cool you should come check this out you can't even move can you there's
stuff all over the floor cameraman can hardly see what he's doing and where
he's going so it comes in like a oh I was going to say briefcase but if your
brief case looks like this you're doing it wrong this is more like luggage so
we've actually got two of these there's another one right over there and uh I'm
only going to unbox one of them for now but this is to go along with all of the
new Linus Tech tips Gear in including our fs700 camera our new tripod it's all
kind of there there's an HDMI cable that's sort of special as well and uh oh
it comes with a stand oh I failed I actually bought stands for these but
they come with them so cameraman's giving me that look like uh you know
what what are you doing over there what are you doing and I don't have a good
answer for him so here's the stand that comes with the kit I should have known
something that's like a kit would come with a with stand but I did not I did
not realize that so there we go that goes down there the whole thing goes
kind of down to the bottom and then you can oh no I think St is wide enough
there we go that's more like what we're trying to do here I don't know what
we're trying to do here there we go so this needs to go at the bottom and then
this we want nice and wide so that it won't go anywhere okay so I don't know
how high these stands are the other ones I got are like 9 ft or something like
that so let's find out how tall they are
oh yeah these are pretty tall
okay so these kinof flows use Banks of
uh Banks of very consistent Lighting in order to get lighting effects that are
well very consistent and very even and
uh they don't change in color temperature over time like uh like the
more traditional incandescent do you can easily put gels over them in order to
change the quality of the color ah look at that it comes with a carrying case
that is suitable for here we go I'm just going to reach over here suitable for
the kinof flow true match lights that
you also need to go with them so I got eight of those 55 watt
bulbs and you can probably just put the
whole package in here no you can't really they want you to open the package
well fortunately we're good at that on this channel although I'm a little bit
worried I don't want to touch them or anything I don't know if these are the
uh kinds of bulbs that you're not allowed to touch oh that's okay they
have plastic pieces on the ends no big deal all right so these can go in here
where they will be safe and they can be transported that way awesome so you can
store up to 1 2 3 4 5 six in this little
carrying case that's made of like corrugated plastic so it'll be quite a
bit more durable than if they gave you a cardboard one so we'll go ahead and put
that back in there okay here's some kind of adapter
hoo-ha oh okay this is likely something to do with uh yes so this is for
mounting at different angles and it comes in a really they put it in a
Ziploc bag and then they tape over the zip looc so it's like okay thank you I
suppose it's quite difficult to open there we go okay so this looks like it's
for changing the angle so you can put this on the top and then you can kind of
have it sort of mve like that that's my guess anyway I'm just guessing right now
fig robust feeling though okay let's go ahead and put that
back in there so our true match light we can put away for
now operation manual here is the ligh
housing itself so for the value price of
only so 2 foot 4 Bank full what's in
here oh okay so here's a diffuser comes with that so for the value price of only
like $1,500 you can get yourself a kof flow
Diva light and uh if that doesn't seem like a good
idea to you then you also don't have to you know I'm not pressuring you or
anything that's not what this channel is about pressuring people to buy things
but I'm definitely excited to see what
kind of results we can achieve with these these new lighting kits and all
that so let's go ahead that out so it's not that heavy
actually I mean it's not light but well
it is a light but it's not light um all right so it comes with
built-in built-in shutters which are on oh that's kind of
neat they're just on like tensioned um like metal pieces here so
they're quite flexible so you can play around with where you want them to go
it's uh it's a little bit directional but you can get an adapter that will
make it more directional if you should so desire uh this piece comes off quite
easily with velcro so you just remove all the velcros and you can move that to
install lights or take it off or do whatever it is you want to do I'm guess
this evens things out a little bit it takes four bulbs total so once you yeah
turn off power to change lamps do not operate fixture on the back yeah so you
don't want to uh basically you don't want to open up any of the internal
power supply stuff that's going on in here and then this piece can let's see
if that can yeah there we go so that's a ball and socket piece right there so you
can tighten that up once you've got it positioned exactly where you want it and
then this can mount onto probably this
piece here to achieve a straight
up Mount this thing's actually quite heavy
I'm making this look easy cuz I'm so buff but uh I'm not making it look easy
at all am I okay well whatever this would go in there and it would secure if
I could get it open wide enough give me a sec all right so we installed four Banks
of Lights which which is a total of eight tubes here and then this is this
is the gel holder so this piece is just you know it's actually cameraman and I
were both noticing that it's it's kind of ghetto actually the whole
construction of it like it's made of like corrugated plastic and like just
piece of like laser cut you know metal
and like velcro straps for things I
guess it's expensive because it's a specialized piece of equipment but I
still would have uh would have liked to see sort of the you know the
craftsmanship that goes into it be a little bit more impressive but uh you
know so there's the blinders oh yeah I want to show you the side of the unit really quick first before I turn it on
here so I've got it attached to the stand that came with um we didn't end up
needing this for anything so I guess this one would allow you to have a
little bit more flexibility in terms of what you're doing but we'll be using it
in a studio environment for lus Tech tips so there you go comes with a
built-in dimmer so I'm going to leave it at the dimmest to start there's also a
remote dimmer as well but we won't be using that at the start uh you can over
here is selectable so you can change you can either fire up two lamps at a time
or four lamps at a time the switch right there there's also what appears to be
some kind of a fuse or switch for 120 volt versus 230 volt operation so let's
start with two lamps and full dimness just so that we don't sort of
break anything and Diesel informs me that I'm supposed to say striking before
I turn on the light so striking okay that's uh not doing a
whole lot so let's go ahead and uh change to uh change to four lamps here
there we go you also don't have to deal with the warmup times that are typical
of uh oh wait no you probably do have to do I don't know whatever the lighting is
supposed to be consistent with this thing does it look very
bright my hand is more lit I suppose let's turn her
up okay we're about halfway okay we're about 3/4 of the way
there we go so now we have what is
apparently very natural very sunlight looking Studio so you guys will have to
tell me here hold on let me just reposition this a little
bit do I look do I look beautiful to you
does this work are we good how's my shirt look we good we cool we can do
that you know gels directionality so we have two of them we'll probably need
more at some point but uh you know for now two is hopefully enough
