Today on YCImaging, we dive into the world of budget filmmaking gear with the Viltrox 25mm F1.7 lens. This lens, with its affordable price tag and versatile compatibility with various mounts, offers budding filmmakers a chance to capture stunning shots with shallow depth of field. While it may lack external buttons for focus adjustment, the lens's lightweight and compact design make it a practical choice for on-the-go shooting. Despite some minor drawbacks like overflaring and vignetting, the Viltrox lens proves to be a solid option for those looking to enhance their videography skills without breaking the bank.
Moving on to the Amaran panel lights, YCImaging showcases the 120C and 60C models, both equipped with RGB capabilities and softbox attachments. These portable lights not only offer different power options, including USB-C power delivery but also provide creators with the flexibility to illuminate various shooting scenarios effectively. Additionally, the Amaran Ace25C light steals the spotlight with its pocket-sized design and magnetic modifiers, allowing for creative lighting setups in tight spaces. The DJI Mic minis also make an appearance, delivering quality audio recording for creators within the DJI ecosystem, complete with noise cancellation and a level limiter for optimal sound quality.
Furthermore, YCImaging introduces Artlist, an all-in-one solution for creative assets, ranging from music and sound effects to stock footage and LUTs. With a new AI image and video generator feature, Artlist empowers creators to unleash their imagination and enhance their projects with high-quality media content.
