Not gonna lie... When you first showed the finished product, I thought it was something you bought and then modified. It looks SO well done and professionally made. 10/10

Your Video Quality is nearly as good as MKBHD and better than most filmmakers videos!😊Big shoutout

[MSIk]

I like how you showed the way to manually make the component despite having cnc!

The kind of video you can like before watching because this channels content is just that good

[abecoulter]

I have modified my version. All dimming controls are external using a 5050 DMX controller and added RGB Amber and UV giving me full control over the entire colour spectrum. 8 channels each. (Controlled on the negative not positive.) and made 16 of them for mounting on 2metre F34 quad truss totems with moving head spots. Gives the stage a pop of colour effect and some other uses too. 128 channels of computer controlled lighting. Used a bit thicker Al sheet

Normally i dont comment, but i want to say thank you. All this DIY LED solutions are so great for me as a filmmaker. Especially the LED Panel. Thank you.

I am so impressed how much effort you put in your craftsmanship to create clean and aesthetic products.

[diskross]

I don't know if I even need to say this because I feel like everyone knows it already, but your diy videos are hands down one of the highest quality series on all of YouTube!
Really nice one, always excited for your videos!

Great low cost project that will help a lot of photographers/videographers. Very well done, great lighting, perfect narration and easy to follow. Love the fact that the background music wasn't super loud but used in a way to eliminate the 'dead-air" silence in most other videos. I look forward to seeing more of these on your channel. Just subscribed after only one video. Keep up the good work and thanks.

[LordDecapo]

I love how this channel has so many projects focused on just improving its own and others video production quality.
Great lighting tutorial!

This is the nicest guy I have ever seen without even seeing him in person😍

[thedave]

Thank you Matt. Your projects are superb and well thought out.
The way you build and the materials you choose bring a new level of quality to DIY building that no one else on YT is doing.

You should be aware that solder flows under pressure, like where you've put solder on the negative wire, then tightened the nut onto it. This can cause connection issues in the future. A crimped loop connector would be a great option here. Otherwise, this is an awesome video!

[mrfeeny]

You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge and creativity. I think I will try to make these lights. Thanks again Matt!!!
