@@georgiossalon thanks Georgio! Guess what I just got today? A Godox LA300R and no ballast! Going on UA-cam in less than 5 days! It’s a very nice unit and bright RGB! Can easily be powered with a AC power bank. And it’s cheaper than V-Mount, even though they DO make a V Mount battery option designed specifically for it. Separate purchase.
Finally, a compact (narrow-angle) reflector for a compact light. I wish they would standardize these 'mini' mounts, so that we have as many interchangeable accessories as we currently have for full-size Bowens units. Also, when doing your run-time calculations, you might want to add a 15% 'fudge factor' as a minimum. Some batteries will cut the power entirely when the cells get close to empty so as to prevent damaging the cells (so I've been told). Thank you for the review.
Would you recommend this one for outdoor mid day extreme overpowered sun photo or video? I've bought ML60 on last year but not enough when I'm at extreme overpowered sun situation. 😂😂😂
The ML60 watts outdoors will definitely NOT DO. I use 600 to 1200 watt COB LEDs. But if you are in a budget and no need to soften the light, you can try with the ML100Bi outdoors. That 15 degree fresnel ish reflector will do miracles. You can have a pretty good idea how powerful that thing is in my video demo.
@@MichaelBouhnikProductions I personally have many lights similar to the Amaran 60X. What sold me on the ML100Bi is that reflector-slash fresnel sort of thing. The second thing is the size and thirdly, the white enclosure just to change things a bit.
I was planning to use this one with my projection godox blp...so I will add bowens adaptor...I am affraid that it will not work properly..I see problem with other projections...glowing
@@theautomationchannel6920 this light is not designed for projection. That adapter to transform a light to projection for non projection lights is never works right… Ideally, if you want better results, get a light designed for it, the ones that have a lens built in such as the Godox S60 or any other light from any other brand as long as they are natively made for.

@ I have Godox BLP projection attachment and only one godox vl300 .. which working very well with attachment I have Aputure ls60x .. it didn’t work.. suffering low intensity on edges. So i was thing for something on budget..for this purpose
do you have a video explaining a little better the whole V mount battery world? seems like there are so many options of Wh, volts, etc ... Which specific model would you suggest for this light, something compact, and something long lasting
@@DISTILLEDEMOTION these V Mount batteries, as well as your camera batteries go by watt-hour. If you want something that will last long, get a 190W VMount Battery. Should run this light at 100% for 1 hour, 40 minutes or double the time at 50% brightness.
thanks for a great video...im new to video lights... if I use a 100w output power bank (usb-c) would it output 80%? or would I be better off with a 140w power bank to be on the safe side (120w 100%output)?
@@RM.TokyoPhotographer your 140 watt USB is 140 watts total. It will not output 140 watts through one USB port. To get the light to go 100%, use D TAP on a V MOUNT battery or use the included power supply
What I would really like to know is whether two of these lights could adequately illuminate a couple getting married inside a dark church, from a distance of 7 to 10 meters and a height of up to 4 meters, positioned on the left and right sides. Thank you. And I'm a photographer. Not a videographer.
@@BablisDimos as I demonstrated in the video, yes, you can easily do that, WITH that little fresnel reflector. The biggest challenge is the clergy giving you a hard time. Churches… too many rules…
@ of course. It’s a hard light. But if you know how to use hard light, things can be lit beautifully. In many cases, hard light is desired, even for fashion or some portraits. You can’t have soft light being transmitted 10 meters away, unless you have a huge frame and with 600 watt LEDs. I’m sure the priest will be pleased with that in his church…

@@daniloantoniofotografia fazer um vídeo, filmar e editar é um trabalho imenso. Fazer um em português, teria que filmar tudo de novo. Português só atinge 1 país. Brasil. Inglês, o mundo inteiro. É por isso…eu moro nos Estados Unidos 35 anos . Faz sentido só em inglês.

Este equipamento da godox, por exemplo, não existe um vídeo em português sobre ele, enquanto que inglês existe muitos.

This bottom knob can be fitted from the opposite side.
This was a brilliant video - so much information! Do you know if Godox make any barn doors that would attach to the fresnel reflectors on this light?
@@forewarnedfilm using a barn door with a fresnel won’t do anything much. The light is too narrow.

1- both brands no case with the standard kit
2- X100 is 100 watts, the ML100Bi is 120
3- fan on the X100 is quieter

5- both are bicolor
6- both have FX
7- both have a stable brightness when changing color temp preserving the same light exposure with almost no change in F stops.
8- both offer bowens adapters
9- price difference is about $20 more or less (light only)
It sounds like a Fresnel and not like a reflector
Which one is better zhiyun or this one?
@@Hassanakora you have to watch the two videos and decide. What one needs is different than another.
