    What other light would be a better choice?

    Was hoping you do a test of the diffuser [with and without]

    I've just ordered mine, should be coming in 2 days - if you see this comment before I receive mine, I'd be curious to know how long the battery lasts for?

      Nice, even with the flaws I mentioned, I think you’re going to really like this light. The battery depends on how strong you have the light powered. Zhiyun says 29mins at max power, but I’m getting about 20mins. The longest I ever used it was for 90mins at somewhere between 15-25%. I still had about bar of battery on it, so it probably could have gone for a few minutes longer

      @@ROAMitRALPH thank you - I received mine yesterday and I got about 20min also at full power… I actually bought 2 at a great Black Friday price, I might just keep one as I also picked up the 60w and 100w Zhiyun lights.

      @@leo_hoang I’m using the G60 and X100 too lol. I prefer the X100 because you can run it with the battery attachment. I still love the G60 though, I just wish it was easier to attach a battery to it. I mostly use the G60 with the DC power. I really want to try out that G200. Way more power than I need, but still looks like a great light.

    Aputure Amaran AL-F7 seems like the competition, seems it got discontinued. Same output from what I remember, no fans or noise.
    4 mounting points around the light. NP-F, USB (reduced) and D-Tap for power.

    Thanks for the excellent review dude! Did you mention it in the video? I might have missed it. The product does not have a digital display. Is it difficult to adjust the Kelvin(2700-6000)?

    Mine is flashing the two center led’s and won’t charge and honestly in a year of having it I’ve only used less than 50 times

      That’s really good to know! I didn’t even know there were fw updates for this. Hopefully @litesoutproduction sees this

      Yes, it can run continuously with a PD power supply

    Whst makes you think that just by having a display on the light, the Kelvin readings are precise? That's naive of you; apart from that, good job of comparing the actual light emitted by all four. Great l, useful 👍🏻

    • @ROAMitRALPH
      @ROAMitRALPH  8 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I realized after I made my Zhiyun CM25 video that the kelvin readings aren't very accurate. When I set my CM25, M40, and G60 at (for example) 5600K they're all seem to be different colors. Is there a way to get an accurate reading of these lights?

      Glad the video helped. I really do like using this light other than it feeling unbalanced because of the mount. Let me know if you have any questions
