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.
