You're aware that the Astera NYX bulb came a year before the Aputure B7c?
I own a couple from both. The biggest annoyance with the B7c is the fact that its internal battery discharges itself so fast during storage and that even in the app you cannot read the charging status anywhere while the B7c is connected to AC power. Its only shown when you are running on battery.
Literally every time I take my B7cs out of the storage their batteries are empty and need to run on AC power or get charged first.
The NYX have a far better versatility with all the accessories you can get for them. No internal battery but an input for USB power. They also look a lot more like standard bulbs than the spacey B7c.
But the initial costs are much higher for the NYX universe.
I've found both performing similar in brightness, the NYX being a bit brighter. Both have their strengths and weaknesses at certain RGB color ranges.
BTW, you did a nice review here.
