Gaffer & Gear 183 - Forza 60C

Gaffer & Gear 183 - Forza 60C

In this episode I take a look at the Forza 60C. This remarkable light has Red, Been, Blue, Amber, Lime and Cyan emitters to deliver an expanded color gamut and an extended CCT range with +/- green and surprising good color render scores. The light also has DMX

This is an incredible video.
So sick of the wanna be influencers who make a 10 minute video and say absolutely nothing helpful at all. It's good to see someone knowledgeable take the time to learn what needs to be learned and not turn it in to complete dribble. Thank you for this video!

Can't wait to see the Review of the aputure 600c and orion 675 rgb point source era has come

[meetthegaffer]

Thank you for taking the time. Great first look! The future is not only bright, but colorful🙂

[LukeCurtis]

Chuffed hearing your views on RGBLAC this fixture is just the starting point for the future of full spectrum lights from the Nanlite camp

[jacobvidios]

Thanks for including a conclusions segment at the end!

[NYCgaffer]

Awesome… gonna sell like
Hotcakes… I expect this light to be nanlites biggest seller, ordered 3 already. Remarkable value. The first shipment of 200 to hit NY was already sold out.

[NanliteGlobal]

Tks for sharing your opinion with us.😊

[danielllobera]

I’ve been waiting for your review on this. Can’t wait to get a couple of these.

[wildstylephotos]

Great review thanks mate I really appreciate the on set image showing them in action

[curtisc]

had to pay extra for the handle and bowen mount adapter for the normal monocolor 60, so pretty nice to see them throw it in this time.

[jamesbridges]

Andrew, thank you for this. We’ve got a bit of a wait here in the states, but after this test, I’ll be getting a few and retiring my NILA Varsa’s and Zaila’s. Thanks again.

i wanted this type of light for a long time and this seems to be the first one with good performance at a sensible price. thank you for such an exhaustive review as always.

[gonzalogayoso]

at this point, all I have to do is watching the last part. Your are awesome mr.

[PROtogPhotographic]

Hi Andrew, thanks for your invaluable review.

I hope they will come out with a 120C version that can be powered via USB PD 140W soon. I would actually sell all my older bulky lighting equipment for three of those, throw them in a compact case and be covered for 95% of all my needs with extreme flexiblity on how to power them (v-mount, power bank, small power station etc. ) and occasionally rent a 720B or something similar on top when really needed.

[freednighthawk]

It looks like a few of the Cons you listed could easily be fixed via firmware updates in the future.

[CircuitBoardcokr]

the most affordable RGBACL full spectrum led. I have been searched information about the lighting because RGBACL can generate accurate spectrum which means a camera can get better result with the lighting. thank you for your detailed explanation and useful infos.

Should we still be buying small bi-colour panels, eg. something like a ~50w 1x1, when we have small bi-color and full-color COBs? You can always soften a hard light as they say...

[RobbScholarTube]

I still can't decide if I should get the Godox SZ150R or this. Sure the Godox is more powerful at 150w but I'd have to buy a camping generator to go mobile with it. But even if I get the 60c for $700 I'm still gonna end up buying more NPC batteries or another vmount. I already have a Vl150.

I’m not a pro gaffer but I want to be. As a pro, what circumstances would you choose low power lights in stead of dimming down a high powered lights other than size difference? It seems to me that if you can afford it you should just have a fleet of high powered LEDs and modifiers for whatever situation comes up.
