– MOLUS X100 Pro [Official] Video Light 100W with 2600mAh Battery, COB LED Video Lighting 17317 Lux/ 2700~6500K/ CRI≥95/ TLCI≥97, with APP Control/Bowens Mount/Softbox/Bi-Color

I've attached an unboxing and video review of my thoughts on the zhiyun molus x100 video light and recommend you watching that but I will summarize the talking points here. So I'll start by saying this light is a lot smaller out of the box than I expected. I'm so used to video panel lights being a certain size that when I opened and saw this is smaller than my handspan closed (I have big hands) it was really quite impressive. I got the Black Combo version, which includes the battery and bowens mount adapter - I strongly advise you get this version because those accessories are a must in my eyes - If you're just going to run it in studio on power you're wasting its specialty use case and if you'll probably spend about the same on a 100wh capable battery and cable from another place. It's really bright for it's size. Like seriously. I have other "compact" lights or led panels which are bigger than this and output nowhere near as much light. There's one youtube channel that claims it has similar brightness to an amaran 60d but this simply isn't the case, it's brighter and lights up a softbox much more than that one does from my experience. Do note that it is bicolour, and 100W Bicolour lights will always be weaker output than 100W Daylight, but this is a given, you sacrifice a little bit of power for the flexibility of matching colour temperatures, and that is a far more useful feature for portable kits and documentary style film-making because you never really know what the lighting conditions are going to be like. However it does match very well with output of other 100w bicolour lights I own, and doing so in a much smaller package - which is impressive. The only flaw I witnessed, is that there is a bit of a colour shift on warmer temperatures at around 4-5% power output, it's only at these percentages so I don't see it as much of an issue and have seen other lights exhibit weird colour shifting at lower voltages also so it's not a trait unique to this light, just worth mentioning. The included Battery is great - 57wh powers it for about 30 mins at full power, but I think 50-60% output is plenty for softbox setups or even lower with just the reflector dish so it's a pretty good solution. You can also power it via USB-C from another battery, just be weary that your battery and cable are rated for 100wh power delivery or you won't be able to use the light completely at maximum. It is cool however that it lets you power it to a certain extent when using a lower power delivery it will just cap the brightness up to a certain percentage that your battery/cable can handle. The Bowens mount is a great must if you want to put on bigger attachments, and it's an industry standard mount. It is plastic, but a very strong and solid plastic, and has teeth to help the friction of heavier attachments stay in position which works surprisingly well. Pleasantly surprised that it's implemented better than some of my more expensive bigger lights that don't have the teeth and you really need to crank up the tension instead. It also has an umbrella mount. The pros of it being so small is that you can really pick up 3 or 4 of these and stack these into your backpack side by side very easily. It takes up extremely little space which is exactly what makes them perfect for travel film-making. I could fit these, my camera rig, and batteries all into one backpack, and have a second bag for travelstands/umbrella's. It cuts down a full 3+ lighting kit from around 5-6 bags to just two which is game changing. You can also get superclamps and be confident that this could attach to any kind of railing or wall and not fall down - if you have a look at my video I have it attached to a cheap blinder railing and it sustains the full weight of the light and battery just fine, giving you unique options of mounting lighting solutions. It's even small enough to shove on top of your camera for like an event rig, I'd probably grab their miniature softbox if you plan on doing this though to soften it up. It's honestly companies like this that make gear that just make life easier for us photographers and videographers that I can really get behind and make me excited. It might not be the cheapest light, but at its size the zhiyun molus x100 cob light is probably the best travel documentary or photography light you can get so far in 2023.

*further update* I contacted customer support and they replaced the battery for me right way. *UPDATE* The battery failed on me today. Only a few months after buying. It won’t charge at all or power on. I can only use it plugged in now. Such a shame. It was half the reason for buying it! And as someone who shoots a lot of events, I need small lightweight kit that I can keep on me and set up quickly. I have tried all sorts of mini LED panels to try and throw it a bit of light back into the audience but none of them really looked that great to me and the quality of light sucked. I thought I would give this one a go, and I am absolutely amazed at the quality of light It produces, and how cinematic it looks for something that is about the size of a compact camera. I can clamp it easily to a stand or a speaker or rail in a venue either plug-in the including battery or into a nearby wall outlet and get amazing looking shots with Crisp edges and stunning flares with zero fuss. It can easily throw out in a flight to fill a 200 to 400 person venue. I wish they sold more external batteries as half an hour at full. Power isn’t very long, but that would be my only minor gripe with this. It is otherwise absolutely amazing.

I loved this light - It was bright, portable and does everything - I only used it 3 maybe 4 times however and now the battery has stopped working - it does not charge - I am not happy about this - I have tried contacting Zhyun, but cannot get through to them.

Great LED unit. Amazingly small and lightweight for the 100W power it kicks out. Essentially it works as advertised - so in all a really excellent lighting tool for stills and video location work. The battery lasts about 30mins (?) at full 100w power but this is rather to be expected for the size compromise and 100w output you can get. I have only used it in short bursts for stills photography and at lower power settings; mainly as a fill light or to grade light into a background. Balancing the colour temperature is easy: 2700-6500k with not much, if any, perceivable variation of power at each end of this k scale. I had a charging issue with the original battery grip - which suddenly failed to take on any charge. Got onto ZHIYUN customer service - found email on their site. Was pleasantly surprised to get a near instant reply back and I have to say (which is rare these days) a truly excellent after sales service. Yilia (@ Zhiyun), thank you for checking that I had received the replacement battery so promptly! In all very happy (again) hence the 5 stars. “

Recibí artículo ya abierto y usado. Caja con señales de apertura en el pasado. Sellos exteriores de caja violados, en interior la luz mal colocada con su envoltura manipulada y arrugada. La bolsa de accesorios rota. No es producto nuevo, casi seguro fue usado y devuelto. Haré la devolución ahora mismo

There was an issue with a battery, customer support was quite prompt at being in touch and a replacement was sent quickly The product itself has been game changing, size to power output is unmatched and as a videographer that travels a lot it has helped out greatly

Cette lumière change totalement ma manière de travailler ! Faisant principalement des petits tournages vidéo (corporate / interview), je dois avouer que ces éclairages (presque de la taille d’un grand iPhone) sont une révolution ! Très puissant ! Le tout tient dans mon sac, boîtier, objectifs et éclairage 3pts. Seul point négatif, l’alimentation. Elle est plus grosse que la MolusX100. Je l’ai donc couplé avec une alimentation 120w en USBC et maintenant tout est très compact. Concernant les pieds, de simple grandes tiges à selfie (3m) pour ma part font l’affaire. Bref j’ai enfin trouvé les éclairages parfaits ! Ne chauffe pas trop (chose importante)

Polivalencia es lo más apropiado para este foco de la marca Zhiyun. Tanto en un estudio como fuera en la calle, está pequeña luz de bolsillo con 100 W es sin duda una de las mejores que puedes encontrar en el mercado, especialmente para fotos de productos. Un punto a su favor es poder conectarla a una batería, que te brinda unos 30 minutos de autonomía, dependiendo de la potencia a la que conectes el foco, la carga de la batería es de unas 3 horas más o menos. Como el tamaño es pequeño y liviano es fácil de transportar e incluso de ponerla en el gimbal, mediante sus roscas de 3/4. Dicen que la potencia sin control no sirve de nada y con está potente luz puedes controlar tanto la potencia desde 1 % al 100 %, como el color más 2700K - 6500K , desde los controles laterales. Zhiyun Molus X100 -Versatilidad El tamaño al ser tan pequeño puedes pensar que si la tienes mucho tiempo encendida se va a calentar mucho, pero todo lo contrario, tiene muchas aperturas, y además cuenta con un ventilador casi del tamaño del foco, el cual además de ser silencioso, se activa cuando llega a una temperatura. Los controles pequeños y resistentes están en la parte izquierda, estos giran y se pueden pulsar, cuando los pulsas van a las preconfiguraciones, si es con la potencia por ejemplo pasan de 0-50-100%, con los tonos de color igual. En la parte derecha tenemos el anclaje de la batería, con un pulsador en el frontal. Cuando abrimos la caja encontramos lo siguiente: 1 estuche de transporte con la luz, la batería, un reflector estándar y un cable de alimentación bastante largo la verdad. 1 soporte de luz o aro para poner en un trípode con un softbox. 1 Softbox de tamaño pequeño. Los accesorios como el softbox o el reflector, se colocan como un objetivo de cámara. Es muy fácil de usar. Carga la batería y listo. Colócalo en un soporte de luz y pulsa el botón de encendido rojo pulsar durante 2 segundos. Para mi los Pros del producto son los siguientes. • Pequeña, Potente y puede funcionar con una batería, sin cables • Diseño minimalista. • Pequeña y ligera. • Refrigeración inteligente con disipador de calor y ventilador. • El ventilador es silencioso. • Conectividad Bluetooth para control remoto • En la parte trasera tenemos un Panel LCD donde te indica temperatura del color y la potencia. Contras • La batería tarda unas 3 horas en cargarse • La batería a plena potencia aparentemente dura unos 30 minutos Mi veredicto es..... El foco Zhiyun Molus X100 Pro, no es apto para todos los bolsillos, pero si tenemos en cuenta sus ventajas, como por ejemplo que con un mismo foco tienes para varios escenarios, tanto calle o estudio, posiblemente te evitas tener que comprar dos focos que posiblemente te saldrán más caros. Nota: he tenido problemas con la batería del foco, me he puesto en contacto con la marca y muy atentamente me han indicado cómo proceder. Servicio técnico muy bueno y competitivo.

Wenn man Filmographer bzw. Videographer, die meistens allein arbeiten fragt : Was stört dich meistens bei der Arbeit? Die meistens werden sagen: Das Equipment zu schleppen! Für meine Kunden mag ich mit der lang jährigen Erfahrung (mehr als 25 Jahre...) immer wenig und wenig Equipment vor Ort zu haben. Eines darf meistens nicht verziechten, wenn man ein schnell Interview hat - Licht. Ja, die Leuchter sind stärker und kleiner aber immer noch groß und agressiv für unterwegs! Ich finde den neuen Leuchter von Zihyun Molus 100w genial für meine Arbeit! Was ist in dem Box bzw. die Tasche? Der Leuchter selber. Kleiner als deine Hand (!). Ein kleiner Reflektor, Strom Kabel, USB C Kabel, eine sehr kleine Akku. Ich habe die Version mit dem Bowens Adapter dazu gekauft! Bearbeitungsqualität? Der Leuchter ist erst Mal sehr klein, aber teusche euch nicht. Der ist vom stabilen Material gemacht. Die Knopfe sind gut befestigt sowie alle andere Faktoren dazu. Es fühlt sich gut und hochwertig in der Hand. Kein billiges Zeug! Der Reflektor stark und klein. Der Bowens Adapter ist auch gut verarbeitet. Ich mag es sehr gerne, wenn man es schnell montieren und abmontieren kann (einfache Knopf dazu!). Die Akku? Sehr klein, aber sehr fine!! Man redet hier von paar Stunden Licht, aber ich muss ehrlich sagen: Ich habe es nur ca. 1 Stunde verwendet und ich kann es wenig beurteilen. Ich schreibe dazu später, wobei es sieht schon so aus, dass es lange hält. Der Leuchter? Es ist 100W in deiner Hand! Wie man in den Bildern sieht, man kann es von 2700-6500K switchen und dazu natürlich auch schön dimmern. 100W in LED ist extreme stark und ich habe gewundert, wie die 'Spot' gegen die Wand ist? Klar ist die Fläche da in Anspruch zur großen von LED, aber wie man in den Bildern sieht - es ist immer noch sehr stark! Ich muss es doch mit einem mini Softbox dazu probieren und da wird das 'Spotlight' voraussichtlich vernünftiger sein. Ich finde die Farbtemperaturen sind sehr gut und man spürt hier null Probleme von alten LED Leuchter mit einem schlechten CRI Werten usw. Dieser Leuchter ist wirklich fine und erinnert mich sehr an der alten 150W HMI, die ich in der Vergangenheit benutzt habe. Fan Geräusch? Fast nicht!! Bitte das kurze Video dazu anschauen! Bowens Adapter? Stabil und einfach zu befestigen! Was mag ich wenig? Wenn man der Leuchter auf einer Stativ stellt - empfehle ich hier bitte keine sehr schlanke Leuchter Stative zu haben, da es trotz sein gerines Gewicht wackeln wird. Es ist kein großes Problem, da es mit dem Leuchter wenig zu tun hat, aber ich empfehle hier einen stabilen Stativ dazu zu haben. Fazit? Ich werde vorrauscihtlich noch so eine Lampe kaufen, da ich es genial für unterwegs finde! Starkes und schnell zu montieren Licht! Die Frabentemperaturen ist genial für meinen Zweck und ich mag sowieso wenig mit Strom unterwegs zu sein - und deshalb ist die Akku hier genial! Sehr zu empfehlen! Jetzt zu Zihyun...eine kleine Bitte: Könnte man so ein Leuchter bitte in der Zukunft mit anderen Funktionen dazu sowie : Farben, Blitz usw.? Das wäre genial! Bravo Zhiyun!
