2. Technical Details to Consider When Choosing

  • Color Accuracy (CRI and TLCI): Look for 95+ ratings provided by GDX products for realistic colors.
  • Silent Cooling System: GDX ultra-silent fan systems protect your audio recording during shoots.
  • Modularity: Bowens mount compatible equipment allows for various light modifiers to be attached.

3. Technical Issues & Solutions

Why does flicker occur in the video? Low-quality drivers are the cause. GDX professional circuits provide flicker-free output at every frame rate.
Facial shadows are too harsh, how do I soften them? You must enlarge the light source. Using a GDX Boom Stand with a large softbox softens shadows instantly.
