Description: In this week’s episode, I share my impressions of the Aputure P600C RGBWW LED panel light. This is a professional grade lighting instrument with some unique features which differentiate it from competitive lights. We also cover how this grade of light differs from much less expensive lights. This is NOT a review. This is NOT a consumer product. I’m just sharing my impressions as an education and corporate video professional. Who is this light for? Rental houses, production companies, gaffers, or studios. Rent when you need it. Who this is not for?
