At NAB 2023, Godox launched its new range of flexible, folding LED mats. The range is kicking off with three panels: the F22Bi, F24Bi, and F44Bi. As their names would suggest, these are bicolour LED panels with a colour temperature range of 2700K to 8500K and a CRI of 96+. Designed primarily to mimic large […]
