 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at what is apparently sort of some kind of voodoo magic when it comes to consistent lighting that we can use in the studio and carry around with us. So this is the Kino Flow Diva Light Kit 401, which comes in an awesome carrying case, so I can already see that. So we're going to go ahead and, wow, this is cool. You should come check this out. You can't even move, can you? There's stuff all over the floor. Cameraman can hardly see what he's doing and where he's going, so it comes in like a, oh, I was going to say briefcase, but if your briefcase looks like this, you're doing it wrong. This is more like luggage. So we've actually got two of these. There's another one right over there, and I'm only going to unbox one of them for now, but this is to go along with all of the new Linus Tech Tips gear, including our FS700 camera, our new tripod. It's all kind of there. There's an HDMI cable that's sort of special as well, and, oh, it comes with a stand. Oh, I failed. I actually bought stands for these, but they come with them, so Cameraman's giving me that look like, you know, what are you doing over there? What are you doing? And I don't have a good answer for him. So here's the stand that comes with the kit. I should have known something that's like a kit would come 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, oh, no, no, that stand's wide enough. 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 bottom, and then this we want nice and wide so that it won't go anywhere. Okay, so I don't know how high these stand. The other ones I got are like nine feet or something like that, so let's find out how tall they are. Maybe one, oh, yeah, these are pretty tall. Okay. So these Kino Flows use banks of very consistent lighting in order to get lighting effects that are, well, very consistent and very even, and they don't change in color temperature over time like the more traditional incandescents do. 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, and I'm just going to reach over here, suitable for the Kino Flow True Match lights that you also need to go with them. So I got eight of 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. No big deal. All right, so these can go in here where they will be safe, and they can be transported that way. Awesome. So you can store up to one, two, three, four, five, six in this little carrying case that's made of 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. Here's some kind of adapter, hoo-hah. Oh, okay, this is likely something to do with... Yes. So this is for mounting at different angles, and it comes in a... Really? They put it in a Ziploc 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 move like that. That's my guess, anyway. I'm just guessing right now. It's a very robust feeling, though. Okay, let's go ahead and put that back in there. So our TrueMatch light we can put away for now. Operation manual. Here is the light housing itself. So for the value price of only... So two foot, four bank, full. It's in here. Oh, okay, so here's a diffuser. It comes with that. So for the value price of only like $1,500, you can get yourself a Kino Flow Devo light. And if 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. That's not what this channel's about, pressuring people to buy things, but I'm definitely excited to see what kind of results we can achieve with these new lighting kits and all that. Let's go ahead and get that out. It's not that heavy, actually. I mean, it's not light, but... Well, it is a light, but it's not light. All right, so it comes with built-in shutters, which are on... Oh, that's kind of neat. They're just on like tensioned metal pieces here. So they're quite flexible, so you can play around with where you want them to go. 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 Velcro. So you just remove all the Velcros and you can move 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... Yeah, turn off power to change lamps. Do not operate fixture on the back. Yeah, so you don't want to... Basically, you don't want to open up any of the internal power supply stuff that's going on in here. And then this piece can... Let me see if that 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 mount mount. Things actually quite heavy. I'm making this look easy because I'm so buff, but I'm not making it look easy at all. I'm like... Okay, well, whatever. This would go in there and it would secure if I could get it open wide enough. Give me a second. All right, so we installed four banks of lights, which is a total of eight tubes here. And then this is the gel holder. So this piece is just... You know, it's actually... The cameraman and I were both noticing that it's kind of ghetto actually, the whole construction of it. It's kind of like corrugated plastic and just a piece of laser cut metal and velcro straps for things. I guess it's expensive because it's a specialized piece of equipment, but I still would have liked to see the craftsmanship that goes into it be a little bit more impressive. But I don't know if you know, so there's the blinders. 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 it 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 Linus Tech Tips. So there you go. It comes with a built-in dimmer, so I'm going to leave it at the dimmest to start. There's also a remote dimmer as well, but we won't be using that at the start. You can... Ah, 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 fuser switch for 120 volt versus 230 volt operation. So let's start with two lamps and full dimmest 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 whole lot, so let's go ahead and change to four lamps here. There we go. You also don't have to deal with the warm-up times that are typical of... Oh, no, wait, no, you probably do have to do... I don't know. Whatever. The lighting is supposed to be consistent with this thing. Does it look very bright? My hand is more lit, I suppose. Let's turn her up. Wee! Okay, we're about halfway. Okay, we're about three quarters of the way. There we go. So now we have what is apparently very natural, very sun-lady-looking studio lighting. And you guys will have to tell me... Here, hold on, let me just reposition this a little bit. Do I look beautiful to you? Does this work? Are we good? How does my shirt look? Am I good, Makoo? Let me do that, you know, gels, directionality. So we have two of them. We'll probably need more at some point, but, you know, for now, two is hopefully enough.
