amaran Ace 25x (Charcoal)

This light is so powerful. And the magnet on the back is to. Perfect for getting light in different areas with ease.

Great! BUT there could be some QoL improvements.

So, I really like it for small scall studio work! I do, and have done Stop Motion for a number of shows and films, a well as worked on a few smaller budget movies. After INTENSE usage I've found that this little light is absolutely great. It's very bright with a ton of easy pictures and a very easy interface, the bluetooth is a bit wonky but I don't use it often so its never bothered me. One issue I DO have with it though is the warm light. I wish the preset FX features could be made warmer, maybe with custom intensity values. The second issue is battery life, which isn't nearly as prevalent at this price point, but for long shoots the light is very. . . hard to work with. In an entire day of filming we had to stop to charge it at least 3 or 4 times for a LONG time, this light has a crazy long charge time for the shallow amount of time you get out of it. The silent mode is nice, but for a majority of shoots we need the light way brighter. Now these complaints are more than solved with your other products (We really only use Amaran lights in our studio) so my few complaints aren't end all be all, more-so mentions. The last thing I wanted to add was an idea. Since the camera is magnetic I was thinking you could make color filters, like RGB colors that you can just snap onto the light to change the color. It'd be super easy and really useful, since the 25x doesn't have any way to change color. (besides warmer and colder light of course. ) I really appreciate you guys taking time out of your day to make such quality products, keep on doing what you're doing!

This little light is a great go anywhere, always in the bag, and versatile piece of kit. An 'Ace' in the hole. The CarryingBag with the full kit is clutch.
