You are very hard working person ♥️i love your video

[Hugmir]

"the most expensive one" - but God forbid you mention the price, lest the Amazon overlords become annoyed with you...

[AnnKEmery]

Can't believe you don't have a million followers (yet!). I've watched a dozen of your videos over the past few days. About to go buy tons of stuff off your Amazon list.

[reyesproductionDK]

The random funny things you do.. 😆 One of the best video in this topic with your special spice 😇

[annuartv]

Love this video! I have several lights ranging from cheap to pro, but I want one for a travel rig while recording on my iphone (trying not to bring the pro setup when personal travelling), which one would you recommend for a simple joby+iphone travel vblog setup where size and practicity are key?

[megamantcg]

Love your channel. Literally bought the Atomcube RX7 and Aputure MC to compare... felt like the Atomcube was WAY better and then found this video where you confirm it! Thanks so much man. :)

[Hablemosenmkt]

[TonyShowMe]

Which of this lights do you recommend to use instead of a soft box light in a small studio? and for vlogging?

[mastermike]

Having trouble finding the Atomcube anywhere that's convenient to buy from, might have to wait a little!

[videocasetteTV]

Awesome, any tips or tricks to use cookies or gobos in front of small RGB light

[BortaMaga]

is the brightest one capable enough to substitute for a key light in a portable lightning setup?

[ro-landocalrissian]

Would’ve liked some price comparisons mate. Would you recommend these over a multicolored sunset lamp ?

[minsoo]

I bought a godox w8lp and the battery went out and I cant get it to charge. The charging icon shows up for a second and then turns off and then doesn't charge, how do I fix or am I out $130?

[markschroeder]

Probably a silly question but what do you think of the Moonside MagLight?

[che.travel]

All of the listed models are not available anymore. So strange

[purificationdetoxification]

Hi how would you rate the atomcube rx1 compared to these? Is it also better than all of them excluding the rx7?

[TheNimbleNomad]

Lovely video and style! Well made.

As a small Youtuber - would you recommend the Weeylite or Atom? Thanks a lot for this entertaining yet thoughtfully on point made content!

[babiychuk]

Hey Paul, thanks for the video. What about simorr P96L or Rollei Pocket RGB? They are much cheaper than you presented, are the 3-4 times "weaker" than mentioned in your video lights?
