The FC-Series is designed to be a more budget-friendly option that still offers high power and professional features. The Forza series typically has a more robust, all-metal construction and includes battery power solutions in the box, whereas the FC-500B has a durable plastic build and requires a separate adapter for battery use.
Yes. The cooling fan is very quiet during normal operation, and for critical audio situations, you can turn the fan completely off, making it perfectly suited for professional video work.
While it runs on AC power out of the box, it can be powered by V-Mount batteries by using a separately available power controller or adapter, giving you flexibility for shoots away from wall outlets.
'Maximum Output' mode pushes the light to its absolute brightest at any given color temperature. 'Constant Output' mode ensures the brightness level does not change as you adjust the color temperature, which is ideal for making live adjustments on camera.
The easiest way is to use the free NANLINK app on your smartphone or tablet, which connects via Bluetooth and gives you full control over all settings. For larger studio setups, it can be integrated into a DMX board.
