“Where the QuikBeam really excels is speed. As documentary cinematographers, we are constantly moving. We rarely have the luxury of building elaborate lighting set-ups, so every second counts.”

Is it a Walkman? No! A portable radio? No! It’s NEEWER’s FS60B. Priced at just £120, this petite (150x89x33mm and 298g) powerhouse is a fully featured 60W COB light claiming 34,300 lux at 1m when fitted with the supplied reflector.

But can something this small really deliver? We measured its output and colour accuracy, tried its cooling modes and app controls, and explored how NEEWER’s growing range of modifiers, battery options and Bowens adapter expand its possibilities.

Check out our latest issue to see how the FS60B performed – and whether a £120 light can genuinely earn a place in a professional kit…

"The light engine utilises previous generations’ full-colour chipset, expanding the red and blue ranges to deliver a fuller, more balanced spectrum of light – achieving SSI scores of 87 (tungsten) and 80 (D56). The result is cleaner whites, truer skin tones and consistent colour."

DOP Joshua Ighodaro put the amaran Ray 660c through its paces for our latest issue. Read his verdict via the link in bio or at definitionmagazine.com.

“Director Adam Wingard wanted it to feel like, if you were in the eighties and channel surfing, you could stumble upon this movie – the kind you could pull out of a pile of old VHS tapes and it would feel like it’s exactly from that era.”

For Onslaught, DOP Oren Soffer blended old-school filmmaking techniques with modern technology to create a tactile, retro aesthetic that feels authentic.

Katie Kasperson sat down with @orensofferdp to explore the visual approach behind the film and how the team brought its distinctive ’80s aesthetic to life.
