What sets the Godox C7R and C10R apart from other bulbs on the market?
When shooting in practical locations like someone’s house or any other non-professional setting, you often encounter challenges with lighting. These locations typically lack dedicated filmmaking lights built into the ceilings or lamps. As a result, you may need to rely on standard household lighting fixtures. However, using these standard lights can lead to issues such as flickering, particularly when you work with different frame rate settings on your camera. Meanwhile, it can distract the audience and compromise the overall quality of your video.
Unlike traditional household light bulbs or smart lighting systems like LIFX or Philips Hue, the C7R and C10R RGBWW LED bulbs are perfect lighting solutions that are specifically designed for filmmaking purposes. It is engineered to minimise or eliminate flicker, ensuring a consistent and stable light source in any shooting environment.
