Nanlite Pavotube II – one light, endless possibilities

In the video, I take a look at the Nanlite Pavotubes II 15X and 30X. I want to find out if the new pixel effect feature is any good for a portrait photo shoot. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».
Simple setup
A dark room, four tripods, a white background and the Nanlite Pavotubes in pixel effect mode with colour change at two-second intervals. For this setup, I equipped two front lights with a light grid. This makes the light shine more on the model than it does on the background.
Many backgrounds in ten seconds
I intentionally set the Pavotubes to be asynchronous. The result: a completely different look every two seconds – including a different background. The random mode and changing colours makes each image unique and therefore tricky to reproduce.
I’m a fan. End of.
