Is the SUB2r AGS worth it?
The tech industry is filled with buzzwords like “innovation,” but it’s rare to find something truly groundbreaking. That’s why when I stumbled upon a new product designed for livestreamers and filmmakers, I knew I had to give it a try. It was a green screen, but not just any green screen – it was the SUB2r Active Green Screen, or AGS for short.
Before we delve into the review, let’s first define what a green screen is. Essentially, it’s a large green backdrop used to incorporate digital effects or backgrounds in photography or film through chroma key compositing. While green screens have traditionally been used in movie production and photography studios, they have gained popularity among online content creators, livestreamers, and even individuals who frequently engage in video calls or virtual meetings.
The SUB2r AGS sets itself apart by solving the common issue of green screen lighting. Unlike traditional green screens that require additional lighting setup, the SUB2r AGS features built-in lighting within the 5×7 foot green screen itself. This guarantees a perfectly illuminated green screen without the need for external lights.
Priced at $549, the SUB2r AGS comes with a 5’x7′ green screen, built-in lighting, stands, a compact carrying case, and a remote control to adjust lighting settings. The green screen can be powered directly from an outlet or a USB battery pack, offering flexibility for on-the-go use.
In my personal experience, the SUB2r AGS excelled in delivering a flawless chroma key effect without additional lighting. The backlighting eliminated shadows and allowed for close proximity to the green screen, ideal for small studio spaces. Additionally, the remote control provided easy adjustment of lighting intensity.
Setting up the SUB2r AGS was a breeze, taking only five minutes to assemble. Its compact design and portability make it a convenient option for streamers and filmmakers working in limited spaces. Overall, the SUB2r AGS offers a unique solution to the traditional challenges of green screen technology, making it a worthwhile investment for content creators seeking high-quality results with minimal setup.
