welcome to my unboxing and first look at what is apparently sort of some kind of voodoo magic when it comes to when it comes to consistent lighting that we can use in the studio and carry around with us so this is the Kino Flo diva light get 401 which comes in an awesome carrying case so I can already see that so we're gonna go ahead and wow this is cool you should come check this out you can't even move Kenya there's stuff all over the floor camera man can hardly see what he's doing and where he's going so comes in like I'm oh I was gonna say briefcase but if your briefcase looks like this you're doing it wrong swirling luggage so we've actually got two of these there's another one right over there and I'm only gonna unbox one of them for now but this is to go along with all of the new - tech tips gear including our fs700 camera or new tripod it's all kind of there there's an HDMI cable that's sort of special as well and all it comes with the skin oh I failed I actually bought stands for these but they come with them so I don't know give me that look like you know what woody woody doing over there what are you doing and I don't have a good answer from so here's the stand that comes with the kit I should have known something that's like a kit from my phone with a stand but I did not I did not realize that so there we go that goes down there the whole thing goes kind of down to the bottom and then you can there we go that's more like what we're trying to do here I don't know what we're trying to do here there we go so this needs to go at the bottoms and then this we want to turn nice and white so that it go anywhere okay so I don't know how I do stand the other ones I got are like 9 feet or something like that so let's find out how it's all there okay so these Kino Flo is use banks of banks are very consistent lighting in order to get lighting effects that are as well very consistent and very even and they don't change in color temperature over time like like the more traditional incandescent Stu you can easily put gels over them in order to change the quality of the color ah look at that it comes with a carrying case that is suitable for here we go I'm just gonna reach over here suitable for the Kino Flo True Match lights that you also need to go with them so I got either those 55 watt bulbs and you can probably just put the whole package in here no you can't really they want you to open the package well fortunately we're good at that on this channel although I'm a little bit worried I don't want to touch them or anything I don't know if these are the kinds of bulbs that you're not allowed to touch oh that's okay they have plastic pieces on the ends don't we deal all right so these can go in here or they will be safe and they can be transported that way awesome so you can start up to 1 2 3 4 5 6 in this little carrying case that's made of late corrugated plastic so it'll be quite a bit more durable than if they gave you a cardboard one so we'll go ahead and put that back in there okay here's some kind of adapter whoo ha okay this is likely something to do with it ah yes so this is for mounting at different angles and it comes in a really they put it in a ziplock bag and then they tape over the Ziploc so it's like okay thank you I suppose it's quite difficult to open there we go okay so this looks like it's for changing the angle so you can put this on the top and then you can kind of have it sort of like that that's my guess anyway I'm just guessing right now it's very robust feeling though okay let's go ahead and put that back in there so our true match light you can put away for now operation manual here is the light housing itself so for the value price of only it's a two foot four bank full it's in here okay so here's a diffuser comes with that so for the value price of only like fifteen hundred dollars you can get yourself makino float evil night and that doesn't seem like a good idea to you then you also don't have to you know I'm not pressuring you or anything I thought what this channel is about pressuring people to buy things but I'm definitely excited to see what kind of results we can achieve with these these new lighting kits and all that heavy actually I mean it's not light but well it is a light but it's not like alright so punches built-in both in shutters which are on oh that's tiny they're just on like tensioned like metal pieces here so they're quite flexible so you can play around with where you want them to go it's got it's a little bit directional but you can get an adapter that will make it more directional if you should so desire this piece comes off quite easily with filter so you just remove all the velcro sand you can do that to install lights or take it off or do whatever it is you want to do I'm guessing this evens things out a little bit it takes four bulbs total so once you turn off power to change lamps do not create fixture on the back yes we don't want to basically don't want to open up and need the internal power supply stuff that's going on in here and then this piece can yeah there we go so that's a ball and socket piece right there so you can tighten that up once you've got it positioned exactly where you want it and then this can mount onto probably this piece here to achieve a straight up mouch things actually quite heavy I'm making this look easy because I'm so puffed but I'm not making it look easy at all Emily okay well whatever this would go in there and it would secure if I can get it open wide enough give me a second alright so we installed four banks of lights but which is a total of eight tubes here and then this is this is the gel holder so this piece is just you know it's actually cameraman and I were both noticing that it's it's kind of ghetto actually the whole construction of it like it's made of like corrugated plastic or like just piece of like laser-cut you know metal and like velcro straps for things I guess it's expensive because it's a specialized piece of equipment but I still would have would have liked to see sort of the you know the craftsmanship that goes into a little bit more impressive winders oh yeah I want to show you the side of the unit really quick first before I turn it on here so I've got it attached to the stand that came with we didn't end up needing this for anything so I guess this one would allow you to have a little bit more flexibility in terms of what you're doing but we'll be using it in a studio environment for a - tech tips so there you go comes with a built-in dimmer so I'm gonna leave it at the dimmest to start if there's also a remote dimmer as well but you won't be using that at the start you can tie over here is selectable so you can change you can either fire up two lamps at a time or four lamps at a time the switch right there there's also what appears to be some kind of a fuse or switch for 120 volt versus 230 volt operation so let's start with two lamps and full dimness just so that we don't sort of break anything and diesel informs me that I'm supposed to say striking before I turn on the light so striking okay that's not doing a little lot so let's go ahead and change to change to four labs here there we go you also don't have to deal with the warmup times that are typical of oh really now you probably have to Java know whatever the lighting is supposed to be consistent with this thing does it look very bright my hand is more late I suppose let's turn up okay we're about halfway hey what about three-quarters do it there we go so now we have what is apparently very natural very Sun lady looking studio lighting so you got a lot to tell me here hold on I just reposition this a little bit yeah did I look I look beautiful to you does this work are we good my shirt look mcgarrick the coop do that you know J Lo's directionality so we have two of them we'll probably need more at some point but you know Frank too is hopefully enough thanks for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Kino Flo be polite don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from our boxing's reviews and other computer videos
