ZHIYUN Molus G200 [Official] 200W COB Video Light, Portable Continuous Output Lighting,2700-6500K 9460 lux@1m, LED Photography Lighting with Bowens Mount, APP Control, Ultra Quiet for Video Recording

Aside from the awkward appearance, particularly the ballast, I like the G200. I was able to compare it at 1 meter to my Aputure LS 300X and it was consistently the same output or slightly brighter, with and without the reflector and at all color temps. This was at 200W. When the boost mode is engaged, it goes up about 1 stop, though the fan becomes slightly noisy.I do miss having battery capabilities, but the much lower price (compared to the LS 300X) and much smaller size are quite nice. I haven't tested the strength of the Bowens and umbrella mounts with a heavier modifier yet. The body is mostly thick plastic, but of some quality. Also haven't tested the limited effects or wireless controls yet. I do hope they offer an extension head cable and the Leko/spotlight attachment pictured on their web site. The readout on the ballast is small but readable. The 'strap' for hanging the ballast on a stand is pretty small and lacking, but it'll do. The option of a clamp mount would be nice.The LED emitter has stripes of warm and cool, which could potentially result in odd light patterns under certain conditions, though I haven't witnessed this myself. Bi-color Aputure lights resolve this possible issue by using a random pattern of dots.Overall an inexpensive, small, and relatively light unit with ok build quality. Great for small and portable lighting kits, but lacking the battery capabilities and quality of some other higher end prosumer brands. Fills a nice niche. I'll be keeping mine.

I was using Aputure 300D Mark II lights for traveling and they’re too big and bulky. I picked these up and get the same quality light in a MUCH better space. Plus the Max mode gives me more light output when I need it. For me, size was the key and I can fit like 4 of these in the same space as the head/ballast I had been using. I wish the cables weren’t proprietary but not much you can do about that these days.

Solid piece of gear with some great features. First off, the size and portability are awesome—it’s super easy to pack and carry around, which is a big win if you’re always on the go. The power it packs is impressive too. The ability to bump it up to 500W is just wild, and it doesn’t seem like it struggles at all (no limits on time from my testing). You can really light up a scene with this thing!But, there are a couple of downsides. The biggest one for me is the case—or lack of one. You basically have to keep the original box it came in if you want to store it or take it anywhere, which doesn’t feel very pro. I wish they had thrown in a proper case. Also, it runs hot. Like, really hot. Every time I use it on set, people start getting a little sweaty, which isn’t ideal.Overall, it’s a great light with a lot of power and portability, but it’s got some room for improvement, especially in the case department and heat management. Still, it’s worth considering if you need a powerful and portable light.

The media could not be loaded. I am honestly blown away how small and compact this is when I receive the product. Anyway here is my take on this. This product has a very unique approach that a normal constant light would have. As the usual way, like my Godox SL60, it has this big long body that carries all the lights supplies and had a handle at the back that is very comfortable to hold and to carry around. However for this product, it prioritize the size more more than anything else but made sure that it is compact that carries a pack of light than the other competitors and to me it tells the truth.This small and mighty video light definitely shine anything in its way! it even has the options to change light temperature for other usage. I don't do a lot of documentary videos or expert in technical specs however I can attest that this product is worth the money for a very small production or big if you want if it combines with the right lights.I do however had some concerns that might affect the use of this product and might worn out faster than the usual standard way. Ie, the knobs for tilting and locking the lights to the stand. I am very rough when it comes to tightening the knob for safety purposes and also when adding softbox which adds weight in front. The plastic matte material is another concern, but this is what you are getting for a relatively cheap type of lights and same goes with the other brands like my Godox SL60. As mention, they do prioritize the more portable type of lights than anything else so I don't mind that much. For whatever you are getting, the light, power, and even case. it is worth it.In the end, the potential for this type of design is definitely an eye opening for other brands for them to reduce the weights for their lights while keeping it compact and Zhiyun is on the lead. My G200 definitely is worth the value and will definitely be able to use them in a lot more future projects than my SL60.
