    Radions G4 vs G4 Pro

    in my opinion between Radion Gen 4 and Radion gen 4 pro -- i would say Yes the price is worth it .. Most importantly because of the ability to control warm whites and Voilets .. one of the very main reasons to choose radions over black box chinese lights is to be able to control the colors to...
