In today’s episode we cover the new VL300 point source LED light for video and photography from Godox. The VL300 produces an impressive amount of daylight balanced light while only consuming around 300 watts of power. You can power it via AC mains or with 2 v-mount cinema batteries. It also has a Bowens mount which accepts soft boxes, barn doors, reflectors, snoots, fresnel lenses, and even spotlight lenses from 3rd party manufacturers. Let’s take a closer look!
