Thank you! You're the reason I finally pulled the trigger and made myself a cooking channel. Improving every video!

Great stuff. I'm just starting myself. I've been watching your videos and learned a lot from them. Thanks again from Sweden.

Considering price and power output + versatility, would you say the Godox ML100bi is a great Key light with the Bowens adapter?

Hi Philip, hope you see this and help, I have an anniversary coming up and I’m planning to do an indoor picnic set up in the living room, not a photographer so I was hoping you can maybe film such a set up as a tutorial, I would like to capture moments of my cooking and baking then the decorating part and eating 🤭 - I don’t even know how to edit simple videos 🥹

[XwithFatih]

Is 2500 Lux, with the diffuser (without 5200) enough for a talking heads video setup?

[CookinWithSquirrl]

Can confirm: Good lighting makes a huge difference in the quality of videos.

[ThePipeMonk]

These wont work if you have kids or cats. Cab you suggest a kid snd prt proof lighting system?

LED lights are the worst for the eyes. I can't look at them, they're awful, even cars which have LED lights, if they are driving towards me with LED, I have to push my eyes away from the LEDS. I hope one day, opticians can expose how this type of light is not good for your eyes. Your video explanation is good though. thanks
