Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is it good for filming diamonds, colored stones and jewelry pieces on a model or would you recommend something else for a sparkling effect that won't change the color of gems?

A: Yes, the GVM MB832 Bi-Color LED Light Panel may be used for photographing gems/jewelry and illuminating facets of a diamond.

Q: 2. Is it good for filming white and colored diamonds and jewelry on the model? I need it to really sparkle and don't change the color of the stones. Please advise if there is something else you can recommend or this light is enough.

A: Yes, you could use the GVM MB832 Bi-Color LED Light Panel (B&H# GVMB832) as a light source for photographing models wearing jewelry. While models may be photographed in either hard or soft light, it is especially soft light that is typically preferred for photographing jewels. For that you'll need the appropriate soft box. In this case that would be the GVM Softbox for 672S, MB832, 50RS, 520LS, 520S, and 1200D LED Panels (B&H# GVSOFTBOX600): https://bhpho.to/2Vlopaa Please note that the sparkling (technical term: scintillation) of a diamond can be hard to capture visually without actually shooting video (as opposed to still photos), and in such a case hard light would be used. However, if you want to use hard light then you'll want to use a single source COB LED ight such as the Genaray PortaBright Daylight LED Battery Powered Monolight (B&H# GEMLACDC): https://bhpho.to/2Vt4w0q

Also, does the fixture maintain it's last settings? Thank you!

Q: 5. What’s the best 560 or 800 D ?

A: The choice of one product over the other is going to depend on your needs. While the 560AS offers a wider CCT range (2300K-6800K) than the 800D (3200K-5600K), it does not offer the same RBG capability. If you use color effects on a regular basis, the 800's RBG feature will be extremely convenient. If you only need the bi-color feature, the 560AS is the better option as it is brighter. I hope you find this response helpful.
