Godox | 1200Bi | Save up to $1400!
I have not been a Godox user historically. I'm generally of the buy once, cry once mentality. Pay for the right gear the first time. Don't mess with prosumer equipment on a real set.
Prosumer gear doesn't last. It can be quirky. The build quality is often suspect and there aren't enough high end features. Prior to the Godox 1200Bi, I would consider most Godox continuous LED fixtures to fit into that prosumer category.
But this Godox 1200Bi is build different.
I've shared test results and some sneak peaks at the great modifier options for the Godox 1200Bi in our private Cine Kit List Facebook Group but it really comes down to this. The Godox 1200Bi is a great light at a great price and with this discount, we wanted to make it a no brainer for anyone considering the purchase. This is a screaming hot deal.
We've been using our Godox 1200Bi as the primary key on jobs for MLB, Sony, NFL, CNN and a ton of high end clients the past few months and it absolutely shines. I love it, my crew loves it. Godox has been listening to what owner/operators interested in this lighting category want and everything on this light is an upgrade from their previous fixtures. The head cable and power lead are tough and the connectors are robust and satisfying to lock into place. The new G-Mount locking modifier system is great because it completely eliminates the notorious “wiggle” of the Bowens mount system. I don’t know about you, but I cannot stand trying to mount or dismount a large softbox from a Bowens mount while it’s wiggling around inside the fixture. There’s too much play in a Bowens mount and while there are many existing, affordable modifiers for Bowens, I’m ready to move on from that system entirely.
The G-Mount that Godox has incorporated into the 1200Bi build is locking. You feel a satisfying click when you’re mounting your reflectors or softboxes and it’s easier to remove them when you’re ready to swap to the next one. In addition, the G-Mount provides pass-through power via the electronic pins. That means two important things. One, you can power the modifiers themselves via the ballast. For example, the new Godox Spotlights 36º / 26º / 19º have built-in fans that help cool those units down. They use the pass through power from the G-Mount to make those work. Also, the electronic pins talk to the fixture and tell it which modifier you’re using. That means, that if a particular modifier affects the Kelvin temperature of the beam itself, the light will be able to compensate for that by adjusting some settings automatically. This feature isn’t available yet but Godox tells me it’s coming soon, later in 2023.
Godox has a ton of great modifier options available for the 1200Bi and we are offering 30% on ALL modifiers when you make a 1200Bi purchase. There’s 4 reflector options 15º / 30º / 45º / 60º, multiple large lanterns, softboxes, a killer fresnel with barn doors and 3 different spotlight options 36º / 26º / 19º all for 30% off. We’ve already been running this deal on facebook for a few days now and I had some user questions on which modifiers were brightest so I put together this quick reference chart to show off the modifier options in order of brightness and what kind of lux you can expect at 3M (9’ 8”).
So here’s my quick take on the modifiers. If you’re deciding which 1200Bi kit to purchase, buy the 4-Reflector Kit. The 15º Reflector gives you the most output possible but doesn’t allow for the kind of beam shaping you can get from the Fresnel or Spotlight systems.
If you’re only going to purchase a few modifiers to add to the 4-Reflector Kit, I’d add the Fresnel and Barn Doors first and then add a large Softbox of your choosing. I do like the Spotlight system. It obviously allows for some unique shaping of the beam that you’re not going to get with the Reflectors or Fresnel but they are quite large and bulky. They come with their own yoke and you mount the light to that. So just be prepared for it to be a bit of a chore when you’re swapping out the Spotlight.
