Here's a NameCheap 20% off domain renewal coupon code: COUPONFCNC (I don't think this is even a Cyber Monday coupon, I just happened to need to renew my domains).

Interested in what 60" soft box you're using. I scooped a cheap one off of amazon, and it takes longer to set up than I prefer and it's super shallow so it's a tad spotty even with the baffle...

I got a Nice Photo 90cm (35") which is 24" deep with double diffusion. It's plenty deep the only problem is it soaks up a lot of light. The subject needs to be 3-5ft for a key (with 150w)

I got this 60" Glow octabox from Adorama - https://www.adorama.com/glsbez60octa...egoryID=251327

I got it on sale but right now it's selling for $109 (with 2 layers of diffusion and grid)

26" deep

Using both layers of diffusion, the front really does glow evenly

I dont think it's totally even when using just the front layer. But probably close enough that you won't notice the difference much on the subject. It also comes with a dish to block direct light

wow 60" is gigantic I can't imagine wanting use something that big. What are you doing head to toe full body interviews?

I just bought two CLAR Illumi Max 500w and one 350w. 1350w on a tri stand thingy should get close to an M18. Maybe add an Aputure 600D later which gets the four up to 1850w.

Here's an interesting one. For about two more hours, the Topaz Labs full suite (photo tools but also including Video Enhance AI) is available for $299.99 (68% off).

Let us know how they work for you!

One thing I'm curious about is how the output compares to the 600D and it it's actually 5/6 as bright or in reality it's dimmer

It's just very soft. People like to put up 4x4 and 8x8 fabrics and push through those. This is sort of in-between the 2 (closer to 4x4). But yes you can pull it back without it getting super hard, and for lighting head to toe softly and evenly

The height/width is not unusably big in practice. But it's about 3' from front of modifier to back of COB housing, so you can't use it in a tight space
