Amaran 300C Review: The Best Light in its Category but do You Need it?

This is the Amaran 300C, an amazing light that has made the rounds on YouTube since its release last year but is it worthy of all the hype? I have been using this for several months now in many of my projects and have absolutely loved my time with it. But as with anything in media, you have to decide for yourself if the cost is justified and in this video, I want to give you the tools you need to determine if this is a good fit for your needs or if you'd be better off getting something else!
