ZHIYUN MOLUS G60 [Official] 60W LED Video Light, COB Continuous Output Lighting 2700K-6500K Dimmable Photography Lighting Kit, Studio Lighting for Camera Film with DC/PD Power Supply CRI 96+/TLC I97+

As a side constant light to help me focus in when shooting outside it’s great! Indoor it’s plenty powerful to use as an add on light if you plan on doing some podcast type interview or stream

It may not be as bright as 60W lights from other well-known brands. Also it’s a bit too expensive. However it works very well and it’s so tiny and easy to setup! Always ready when I need to record a YouTube video

The media could not be loaded. 🔎The ZHIYUN MOLUS G60 [Official] 60W LED Video Light comes securely packed in branded packaging.Inside you will find the LED video light unit, a power supply, a reflector with a rubber diffuser, and a short instruction manual. There is also a small mesh bag for the power supply with cables.The light can be powered using the main connected power supply provided, a power bank, or a regular charging plug with a USB-C cable.When using any other power source, than an original power supply, the power output will be limited, depending on how much power the source can deliver.The maximum I was able to get out of the power bank, was a 24% brightness level( using a 10.000mAh Samsung power bank ).Using the super fast charging plug, the Molus G60 went up to 48%.Another option might be using a dedicated video battery with a higher output level( but I haven't had any around to test it ).🧡I love the small, compact design of this light( it is very bright despite its size ).The small tripod mount is very sturdy and holds the light very well in place.The color temperature adjustment wheel works very well, and it is easy to set the desired values.The same I can say about the brightness wheel, it is very easy to adjust.It can be easily mounted on virtually any tripod or video light mount.👎One downside to me is the lack of light modifiers you can use with this light. You have 2 options:1. use dedicated( small and expensive ) Zhiyun softbox2. buy an adapter to be able to use Bowens system modifiers.Another thing is - it is hard to find a suitable carrying case for this light. There is one being sold as part of the combo set, but if you don't buy a combo, you will have to search for a 3rd party case.💲Considering how well this light is made, how compact it is, and how bright, I would definitely recommend it to anyone in need of a quality video light, that can be quite literally carried in your hand.

I only know of Zhiyun by reputation as one of the better camera stabiliser manufacturers for video equipment. It seems that now they are venturing into the territory of lighting so I was interested to see what they’d come up with.This 60W light is a tiny: 3” x 2.5” x 2.5” with an additional 2.5” when you attach the reflector. The reflector comes with a rubber diffuser attached, but it needs reversing for use.60w (even if that is LED watts) and studio lighting don’t quite go together for me. Mind you I’m used to studio flash that pumps out more power than I need. Anyway I popped this onto a lighting stand and came across my first dislike of this unit. It doesn’t have e a quick release lighting stand clamp. You have to rotate it (or the stand) to screw it onto the threaded part at the top of the stand and it doesn’t lock tight so the slightest knock moves it. Not what you want if you are using it for table-top photography. The knurled knob that allows you to change the vertical angle is far too small and difficult to use, but it does lock securely.There are three controls. The on/off is a tiny orange button on the top of the unit. Press and hold to turn on or off. Two rotating knobs are on the back along with a small LCD screen. The screen shows power output in % - left hand knob to change - and colour temperature in deg K - right hand knob to change. Again the knobs are tiny. The brightness control is difficult to get a grip on and consequently requires 25 twists (not complete rotations) to go from 0% to 100%. My twist was just as far as I could comfortably rotate my wrist before having to let go and re-position my fingers.I’ve attached five images. All taken with a Canon EOS R6 and Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens. The images were originally RAW files. The room had the curtains drawn but it was bright sunshine outside so the room was nowhere near dark.One image shows the test setup. One was shot with the colour balance at max 6500K, another at min 2700K. The other pair show the subject shot using the diffuser attached and without the diffuser. You’ll notice there’s a three stop light loss with the diffuser.The light was positioned 20” away from the subject. The camera was set to Auto white balance so it may well have tried to adjust the warmth of the image, but setting a custom white balance would still have interfered with the result.To get an idea of the useful strength of this light I moved it to a distance of 63” (a distance which gives you a reasonable space to work in) and took a light reading with the light on and with the light off. Light on: 1/60sec f2.8 ISO 400. Light off i.e. room light: 1/60 sec f2.0 ISO 400. So at a distance of around 5ft you get a lift of just one-stop with this light. That’s the same as dropping the shutter speed to 1/30sec or bumping the ISO up to 800. If you have a tripod you don’t need the light. Though what it will do close-up is give you control over shadows and contrast which would be more difficult with just ambient lighting.For close up table top stuff it could be very useful, but I see it as of more use to a YouTuber to light their face with this light on a table top tripod right next to them. Also the advantages of its tiny-ness are lost once you put it on a studio lighting stand.It’s ok. The controls are not well implemented, but they work, and the attachment to a support needs a re-think. It seems really well-built. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the quality, but I’m not sure of its value to a photographer.

The media could not be loaded. What's not to like about this little cute light. Perfect for gorilla film making, weddings and documentaries abroad.This is a mini light that will fit in your luggage. Think of the possibilities.But to come back down to earth, I don't believe professionals will trade in their large studio lights, but the size will apical to a wide audience.5*****I will be using this all the time, especially for my YouTube Channel

The media could not be loaded. The Zhiyun MOLUS G60 is a powerful and versatile LED video light that is perfect for studio and on-location photography. It features a 60W COB continuous output lighting with 2700K-6500K dimmable settings, allowing you to adjust the color temperature to suit your needs. The light also has a CRI of 96+ and a TLCI of 197+, ensuring accurate and consistent color reproduction. The only issue I found is that it doesn’t work with a simple power bank, need to use a powerful one 🤦🏻‍♂️ at least 20w

This little light is great for indoor shooting, I tried it for my live stream and it really made a great difference.There are three controls. The on/off is a tiny orange button on the top of the unit. The screen shows power output in percentages .
