People don't realize how much work a UA-cam video is - the work you put into this video especially is insane! The B-roll, the thoughtful scripting, and of course talking in front of the camera is so well done. Plus, this light is sick!
I thought the video was great and then I read your comment. One of the best comments ive ever read dude. If my thoughts on this video were a banana, yours are a banana sundae with sprinkes of delight. Thank you
Bought it because of your cinematography. Well done. And, I don't sub when someone is asking, but you're the exception to the rule.
That intro will break hearts 😮
Watching a product review shot with anamorphic and juicy colors, this is so greatly done!
Zhiyun is killing it with their compact lights
That is a very impressive light, punching above it's weight at a decent price point as well!
This video is a nice healthy reminder of what to consider in gaffing your projects, business and/or creative wise! Good lighting goes a LONG way in beautiful imagery.
Thank you for the effort in editing, b-roll, and being as concise yet nuanced in your opinions and explanations. You rock!
Cam! You are a legend brother!! Your level of understanding of Photography is SO next level that I use heaps of your videos to train our retail staff!!! They get to know so much with your videos. Thank you for making such a huge difference in the industry, globally!!! If you are ever in Australia, please let us know. Thanks Isabelle - Marketing Manager
I just got a promotional email from zhiyun announcing this product and decided to spend my saturday morning looking for a review on it on youtube with my coffee and wow ... this review was amazing start to end. Instantly subscribed.
Thank you!!
This light is really cool. It would have been nice if the magnetic back of the cage was articulated in some way so positioning is easier.
Nice review as usual.
I found this video just scrolling through youtube, and now I am going to go all the way to your first video and watch them all
The only person on youtube who’s videos literally get noticeably better and better per post. Hard to imagine that happening because your work is already so good, then you release another video and the bar is raised lol. Crazy
🥹🥲🙏🏽
Incredible video, Cam! Your cinematic lighting tips are so helpful. Thank you for putting this together!
Looks really good. Often times I wish the lights I already have had an option to add barn doors. This one little light might be really useful.
It seems like you're the only review out there. No info about it anywhere XD
I do have a review as well 👍 but this video is wonderful too!!
Anthony Rodriguez has a review up 🤝
Dude, what an awesome video! Your lighting was on point. Great practical review. I like how you showed how the light can be used practically rather than just listing some specs. I really appreciate it!
Imagine using this light with some warm or a different striking color with your main light source(s) and lightly smoking your set with this... man the possibilities...
Dude that look with the hair, the hat, and the skull on the wall is supa legit
The design of it is stunning! The cyberpunk industrial look is inspiring, might get it just for that even if I don't really need it lol.
Cam, you richly deserve every subscriber. So much work goes into your videos and the production value is astounding. Excellent video as always and definitely going to check out these lights. Many thanks 🙏
Just saw it yesterday on Zhiyun’s app update log. Looks like a neat alternative to the MC Pro. Love the cage concept!
I have no need for this light right now, but this was an excellent breakdown and definitely one to put on the wishlist. Thank you.
First vid of yours I've come across and I dig the vibes! I also enjoy the live demo and explanation of the use cases, nice job 😎
Great review, might get this and the Molus X100, they would be super clutch for run n gun work
Your vibes are incredible. Keep up the great work. Light looks awesome.
Mack like me you get sucked into the design and architecture of a product… And that ok! If it makes you want to use it how can you be mad at it…
Some of these products are works of art today…
Zhiyun def. has a futuristic beauty and utilitarian design aspect that makes it irresistible…
Hey, again, if the design of a light or camera makes you want to use it more than I’m all for it… ❤
that honeycomb alone would be worth the price of admission. ive been using velcro to stick honeycombs to the front of my other small, flat LEDs. which works, but is a bit janky looking and clumsy to use.
I have a pair of these on the way! I needed a little easy to hide and shape light!!!
Very useful, thank you! Just bought it, my very first light 💡
30% is a wild number, wish I could hit subscribe twice.
Just love the style of your videos and your language. And yes, those lights, too.
I just bought that light, super cool. Thanks for the video. I subscribed :) Cheers from Poland :)

I’ve been called Johnny Depp for a good decade now… and that was the best one yet 😂
Sick little light for the money! Would be cool if they made the barn doors for the X100V that would be a dream for me. Awesome review man, I feel like I learn more and more cinematography from you every time I watch your videos.
Incredible breakdown and production quality in this video. Can't wait to grab one and mess around with it. Subbed.
Great video as always. Love the channel!
That's dope! I'd love to see other lights with more power soon
Dude your anesthetics are sick !!
Best review of this light I've seen, thanks!
Excellent video as always but maybe think about the Boling P1 led light. Rgb and had all the same modifiers. Flag diffusion honeycomb etc. I think that it came out about 3 years ago so maybe a little bit ahead of the game. Still available on amazon. Thx
Btw the light dark light background vibe called checkerboarding and the principle is to contrast the subject edges that are lit with dark background and when in shadow against a light background so that establishes a similar mixture of light and dark but the opposite to the subject hence contrast. Not sure i am so convinced by practical lights blazing when it’s clearly during the day and in any real world situation would lights really be on. Its amazing though how often its done in features eg Fincher or deakins in Sicario. There are some scenes in Sicario (when woody harleson enters mr bigs office) that are literally dripping with practicals everywhere but in bright daylight. Personally i think it looks ridiculous when it becomes a cliche and looks forced and unnatural though it is used all the time so i guess that is what passes as cinematic.??! Bizarre. Thx for the excellent video.
Well good thing films are an art form and not real life! Movies are made to tell stories, not to to mimic an our nerdy brains opinions on light. I think sometimes we forget that films aren’t for us, they’re for the masses. And the mass doesn’t give two 💩 about what looks real or not. They watch the story and the visual together as one piece. Unless you wanna talk about documentaries.. then that’s different of course because that is real life. But even then, I would take creative license.
@@cammackey i take your point but deakins specifically doesnt use anamorphic lenses because as he came from a documentary background he doesnt want anything to distract the audience from the scene appearing real. Hence you wont find him using ultra wide lenses like Chivo. I can assure you having nine practical sources in a daylight shot looks odd to anyone. The first question a dp might ask about a motivated light and hence the practical motivating it is does this look real and is it believable. Who leaves a tonne of lights on in broad daylight. Not sure it needs a professional cinematographers eye to answer that one. Sure people suspend their disbelief but given the money spent on films and art direction making things look real and believable its odd that anyone just sprays a frame with practicals but they often do. Its an oxymoron that seems to pass people by much like the overuse of volvo estate cars in movies. Thx for your thoughts and reply.
@@KenFlanagan alrighty haha. Most pro DPs would Prbly laugh at this conversation. Cause it’s bout about rules. It’s about the story. If the story calls for natural cool.. if it calls for anything else, cool. Have fun with all those analytical rules tho brutha! I’ll be out here chasing dreams and making art 🤘🏽
@@cammackey not sure you really understand. Its about ignoring rules and looking at what strikes a normal person as realistic and believable inany given scene within the story to avoid something looking unnatural and therefore distracting from the story. A bit like people always wearing hats inside. For some its a stylistic affectation that they prefer but in a film a decision might be made to take the hat off whilst inside as much as a convention of what is normal but usually on the most basic level that it makes sense to mist people as most people dont wear hats inside. It is the absence of rules such as throw as many practicals into a shot to help spice up the compositional interest that i am trying to highlight and that obsession demonstrated by even one of the most respected cinematographers such as roger deakins (maybe on a bad day) has nothing to do with storytelling. Btw my experience of professional cinematographers is that they are intensely interested in what light and practicals they have to play with in each scene precisely to help tell the story.
@@KenFlanagan I’m honestly not even going to read that brutha. You do you 🤘🏽. Some people wanna talk about technical ideologies and never create anything of value. Just like how Roger Deakins rolls his eyes at the film vs digital conversation. Imma get back to creating 🤘🏽
THIS IS AMAIZING ❤ IMA GO BUY FEW OF THEM NOW N DO MY OWN VIDS THANKS FOR THE INFO , LOVE UR WORK FAM VERY INFORMATIVE N THEM COLORS ARE LIT 🔥
thanx man for this info, looks like awesome light
I have just bought 4 units last week, used extensively over the weekend on site, great lights but battery life is not what is stated, fine in a studio with power, but in the field, not, yes power banks can be connected, and I did, not ideal. But be aware of this battery life on long shoots.
Yeah at full power i notice they can die pretty fast. At lower power they last a long time tho. So im not sure what percentage they rated the battery life at
they're cool right? i had a blast using them. fun video!
it would be great to see this against the aputure mc pro.. this was a great video loved how you walked us through the grid and barn doors. The light looks so sick though
Check out Anthony Rodriguez, he has an MC pro and compares it directly.
@@jacobterrazas3147 doope
Great review. How does the app work, though? I just got the light and it won't pair with my iPhone 14 Pro. I've used Zhiyun lights before and I have never had a problem pairing. This one doesn’t work…yet. Again, thank you for taking the time to review this great light!
GREAT video bro! I learned something!
MC pro V2 needs all this as an update.
Sidus Link is so clutch for speed on a set.
Man ive gotten use to just needed multiple apps sadly haha. The Zhiyun light app is low key great though, more for like simple stuff though.
@@cammackey I don't know if you remember me, but I'm pretty sure we met ages ago at NAB 2012 when Brian Morgan introduced us at the Zacuto booth.
Great breakdown, mate, keep it up!
This was awesome - thank you!
Bro where so you buy your shirts. 😂 love the video
Superb. First time viewer and subscribed.
I'm picking up 3 for my travel kit.
nice accesories though weak output 60w version of this would be awesome
Have you seen what the output is on other lights in this category lol?
these could be dope for shooting street fashion
Just bought one, thank you!
Nice light.. definitely needed
Cam is coming for me
Nov 11, 2023. The first time Brady has watched one of my videos. 🥲
Thank You for the informative video with a lot of demos. What about illuminating say at least half the body - how much must be the distance and what gain (in f-stops) would you infer? Do You think it is easy to put a bigger light former in front, e.g. a soft box?
Those Remus flares at 8:26 are nice!
😏😏😏
Nice Vid. If it were also weather sealed it would be worth the price. Don't shoot much indoors and extra "equip-shelter" setup/breakdown is something I try to avoid like the plague. Yes just a bit of gaff tape attaching a small umbrella to a stand (if little or no wind) would work. Also running on external power is a must, so I'm on the fence. Show me a 40~60 at this price and I would bite. Like the HSL, but don't need the effects.
Through the usb C you can charge and power the light at the same time which is cool. But yeah I hear you on the weather sealed! Overall the quality is insanely good and the output is pretty high for its size. Def wish it was weather sealed too tho
Man I thought that lamp was behind you at first so when your hand went behind it I was like 👁👄👁
Lovely review. Thanks man! Question. Do you know how this compares to the MC pro?
Shares this with my homies. So we’ll done. Sick lights! 🎥
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Got you ❤ fantastic video brother!
I ended up buying the Zhiyun btw, I really love the little thing! I haven't used it for much other than stills and my gf uses it for videos.
Great review! I subscribed.
Beautiful lighting. Thanks for sharing your expertise. I studied Mandarin in China for a few years. Maybe I can help. Zhiyun (think jer as in jerk, Jer-yun)
Having worked with the Smallrig RC60b and the Zhiyun M20/X100, which one would you recommend more?
I see you ride motorcycles.. you could both an M20 and a X100 and it would take up the same space as the Smallrig. I just released a new video on their new light.. I would get two of those instead!!!
I would go with M20
great review and brake down bro
Is it possible to control the FX functions from the app, looks like it only possible from dials on light itself.
So, a Magmod for video, cool.
Amazing 🎯
Great video and production quality. Do you have a B&H affiliate link for the M20C? I'm trying to ween myself off of Amazon.
I don’t think it’s listed on BH yet sadly.
@@cammackey I ended up pre-ordering it on BH. It just said it'd be available soon. I'll keep practicing with the lights I have until then. Another tool for the belt. Thanks.
Did you shoot this on the Blazer Remus by chance? 👀
Great video, as always dude.
Maybe.. maybe not… 😏
@@cammackey we need to chat! Haha
@@ash.walton the talking head segment was with the Module 8 L3 Tuner!
Looks like a vibe bro! Love it@@cammackey
I just recently purchased a Fiveray MC20c Combo and I really liked the product. I think it's a brilliant and innovative tool. But there is one big technical issue that needs to be addressed: I'm just coming from a shoot, with long interview sessions and used the Fiveray as a ultra compact kicker/ rim light. I had it attached to a V-Mount and later with direct power via USB-C. Unfortunately it ran out of battery (despite the power supply) and I wasn't able to use it for the last 3rd of our shooting - which is really a deal breaker for me! Any chance to get a firmware update? Or do I have a faulty unit?
I mean these lights aren’t made to run for hours. I suggest plugging it in or get a light that’s destined to plug in. Personally I would use this light an interview setup, but only a 15-30 minute one.
@@cammackey Makes sense! But still... the option to have plugin-power would be a massive upgrade. Other competitors like the Aputure MC's do work that way.
Has the issue you encountered been resolved?
as usual dope content!
How useful a light of this size really is... besides ant portraiture...
Literally the dumbest thing someone has ever said 😂😂😂that was funny bro haha
Good morning...not many people up this early
Release time was out of my hands haha
excellent stuff
Great video, and I love the look. What lens did you shoot this with?
Module 8 L3 Tuner and the Sigma 35mm
And some anamorphics and a macro
Great video😃

Stroke?

Hello, is there a way to connect the zhiyun mc 20 to direct current?
Can you help me with an example please?
With AC power 100-240v and 60W PD charger, it works.
Cool, bought one.
Great video on the new video light from Zyihun. I am having only one problem with it. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 and I am so far unable to pair it with the MC20 with Bluetooth. I have a Zhiyun M3 Gimble and it paired up fine. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Contact their customer support
is there a video on your color grading, like in this video?
I have my LUTs and some older videos which is pretty much the same thing! I’ll do new ones soon but it’ll honestly be the same thing haha
@@cammackey Thanks man, love your content
WoooooooooooooooW
This thing is cool, can you buy extra batteries to swap out?
Battery isnt removable, would be cool tho! The USB C charging is clutch tho, and you can still use it while it charges
@@cammackey sweet - thank ya!
what I was thinking - damn that woulda been nice to be able to swap them out..
So an MC Pro with barn doors?
But even more powerful
I too struggle to pronounce zhiyun when it actually needs to sound zhiyun and not zhiyun like some say it.
Is the batt replaceable? Like my X100 but battery failed on the 3rd use. Just messaged support and hoping they will help with a replacement.
Update us with their response… I would be interested to know as well
@@RuffRhyno will do.. they just got back to me and asked for a picture/serial number.
@@windwalkerfpvany news?
@@RuffRhyno They made me jump through some hoops but were very responsive. I covered the $12 to mail it in and have been sent a replacement.
@@user-wj5hc3tp9v I should be getting a replacement this week.
X100 was a banger but this is quite redundant, mc pro alternative
It’s RGB.. has magnetic modifiers.. 20W output.. I don’t see how it’s redundant. But a RGB X100 would be insane too
@@cammackey aputure has the MC Pro which pretty much almost the same thing
@@gabriellorenzo6589 they’re totally different….. but cool haha
@@cammackey zhiyun should build on the x100 form factor, they were doing something right

is battery replaceable ?
Unfortunately no.
Hipster AF
The biggest hipster!
The worst light I've ever tested, at 20% power the fan makes already a deafening noise, practically unusable for my videos. It's a shame because the underlying idea was very, very interesting.
Are you filming ASMR?
