I dont deny any of the amazing tech being good, being how it is described, et al.
Now I guess the colour rendition and ouput when set at 'interview' settings.. are about 10% better than the godox..
Hense, it is, for interviews around, 80% of the bread and butter of paid lit video work, about 10% better.
Its like driving a Ferrari to the shops - one doesnt really get to feel how much better it is than the Toyota Yaris.
On the track for sure the Ferrari is better.
There is a thing (99%?) just want to see out of the window while we shoot the MD chatting.. and 1% are doing deep meaningful colour driven cinematography (fair play to them)
I hope the price, quantity produced, and abilities of the tool are correctly tuned to serve the appropriate market.
A 1/3 price drop does not indicate that and could lead to upsetting the loyal customer base.
Id so much prefer seeing the development of daylight LED in the 1.8k range that were affordable and had good build and service.

Update
Ive just seen a £200 drop on my recent Apture purchase.. it just fooking annoys me. The dealer didnt tip me to hold on a week or two they just robbed me of £200. Does that build my confidence in that dealer and that manufacturer? No bloody way. Any time im after thier product Ill striaght up demand a 10% discount. They showed the cards in thier hand.
Yep I see value in clearing stock, boosting cash flow and other things might get one through a quiet january but that is a bit sad for functioning businesses. I usually charge more in the holiday season.
