GVM SD80S Studio Light, Should You Still Buy? [Not Obsolete]

The GVM SD80S might be years old, but is it still worth buying in 2025? For just $120, this ultra-portable COB light with NPF battery support proves that not every upgrade is necessary. Full Description: In this first episode of my Not Obsolete series, I revisit the GVM SD80S, an 80W daylight COB LED that’s lightweight, Bowens mount compatible, and runs on NPF batteries. I compare it against today’s budget-friendly competitors like the Amaran 60d S, Godox SL62D, Nanlite Forza 60D, and SmallRig RC60B — and show you why this older light is still a portable powerhouse in 2025. Whether you’re a filmmaker, content creator, or livestreamer, this $120 light proves you don’t always need the newest release. 🔗 Buy the GVM SD80S here (affiliate link): https://geni.us/CoZGVMSD80S (Coseygvm at checkout on the GVM Led Website for a discount) 🔋 Accsoon TOP RIG NPF Charger https://geni.us/CoZGVMSD80S Competitor Portable COB Lights Mentioned in Video: SmallRig RC60B: https://geni.us/CoZSmallRigRC60B Godox SL6iiD: https://geni.us/CoZGodoxSL60iiD Nanlite Forza 60ii: https://geni.us/CoZNanliteForza60ii Amaran 60D S: https://geni.us/CoZAmaran60DS 👉 Watch my Under Armour Announcement video where I used this light:   / doe-mv7d4da   #StayCoZ #NotObsolete
