Just bought another one of these. Also got the NEEWER 60c box style light for Xmas. Was so happy with how much NEEWER stepped their game up I ordered the AS600B. Thanks man.
They are a great little light, so versatile and a big bang for your buck. The 60 is another great light, I am testing out the HB80B here atm with another light and the Neewer stuff just keeps getting better. The AS600B is a monster of a light, I had a quick play with it one day and that is super bright, enjoy it. I think I need to sort out a Christmas present for myself now too :-)
Great review. About v mount battery.. Product specifications say that I gotta use a 16.8v battery for outdoor power supply. But my question is… Is it possible to use a lower power v battery like a 14.4v? If that’s the case, how is the performance?
Now that's a very good question, the v mount batteries I have here are all the 16.8 volt versions. Now in saying that the two NPF batteries that this light can work off would only make up 14.4volts (7.2 volts per battery) so I am presuming a 14.4volt v mount battery should not be an issue at all then. In saying that I also can't say that for certain either. Sorry I can't give you a 100% positive answer on this one. On the v mount batteries the light is stated to lower its output to roughly around 90 watts. It's still very bright though, but that does depend on what you want to use it for of course.
@@kieranhayesphotography a outlet near my everything must go so like return packages from Amazon still brand new only this was missing was remote thanks to the app working great
I just ordered two of these for $169 each and am expecting them tomorrow. I really hope mini Bowens modifiers can be used with this light, I was hoping to fit it with a smaller fresnel lens that's much smaller/lighter and cheaper than full size Bowens fresnel lenses. Can you confirm whether it's mini Bowens or fully proprietary?
As far as I know the Neewer Mini mount is different, the last time I asked them about it they told me it was but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if it worked. I have all Bowens mount diffusers here, I only have one Neewer Mini mount and no Bopwens mini mount. Sorry I can't be of much help here. Please do let me know how you get on when they arrive.
You're very welcome and thanks for watching. It's always something I have looked for in a review when I was buying video lights before and strangely enough most people don't cover it.
@kieranhayesphotography does this light really work with NP-F batteries with the PS010E adapter? Would the voltages work? Would any brand of NP-F batteries work? Have you actually tested this, did Neewer tell you this? That is not mentioned at all on the light's official website, only V-mount is mentioned. Also, on the website the PS010E is said to work with "lights with up to 60W power". Can you confirm the MS150C works with NP-F batteries? I have a bunch of those batteries and would love to buy this light and use it outside, but I don't want to invest in V-mount batteries.
It was mentioned on the website and I use it via VMount batteries and mains. I never tried them on that light but when I look on the website now that is no longer mentioned but on the Bi colour version the "B" model. You can see that for yourself on this link.. ie.neewer.com/products/neewer-ms150b-130w-bi-color-led-video-light-66602997?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=dad8c2400&pr_rec_pid=6687184224352&pr_ref_pid=6991914958944&pr_seq=uniform That's the Irish version of the website but it clearly mentions it works on that light. So in all honesty I can't say it will or won't work. Sorry about that, I wish I could be more help there.
@@kieranhayesphotography thanks for your quick reply! I guess I will send an e-mail to Neewer and hope they see it. It's very weird that on the B-model it says power is limited to 44W with the NP-F batteries. That is way too low, even my 60W Jinbei lights can be powered by two NP-Fs.
@andreyspiridonov 44 watts is crazy low. On a V mount battery it does drop down below 100 watts due to the input voltage drop. But 16v to 14.8v isn't that much to drop the power down by half again. When I originally did the review there was nothing about limited power output on the NPF batteries. I am guessing an email from Neewer will set matters straight and again sorry I can't be of more help with this.
Thanks, glad it helped a bit. I have found it lasts about 45 to 50 mins at full power on a 99 watt V mount battery. I usually have it about 15 to 50% and it goes for ages then.
It works well with the NPF batteries and adaptor plate also. Just to be sure you know this... you need to use two NPF batteries at a time in the special adaptor plate.
@@MaxKreiss enjoy the light if you go for it, it's a great little unit. PS. My wife is German but my German is very bad so I won't try replying in German :-)
Thanks for the amazing review! What exactly do you mean : "135 Watts cause its powered via mains" ? It cant never go to 150 watts in any case scenario? Wich would be a real deal breaker. I mean....why advertise 150watts when you cant pass the 135watt mark, maybe im not understanding this correctly ... Thanks in advance.
Hi, it's a 150watt unit but some of that energy is not converted into light so it's really 135watts light output. It's one of the reasons I always look at the light output on lights especially RGB lights. A good few companies do this, it's one of the reasons I mentioned it in the review. I hope that helps clarify it a small bit. It's the LUX output is the real measure and in my mind there should be a standard measurement for that also. At least we can directly compare them then.
I am not sure about that. I was playing with that a while ago but I didn't have the MS150C at the time. Common sense would say they should be compatible but with patents now you never know. Sorry I can't answer your question.
Hi Mike, yes Dtap is necessary as the output voltage is higher. It's normally 14.4-14.8 volts so unless you have a DC socket with that voltage on your battery then you need to use Dtap. You can get cheap enough Dtap cables online. Or does your Vmount battery not have a Dtap connection?
Hi, you can use the Neewer V-mount batteries with the Neewer MS150 and MS60 video light via the Neewer NC010 D-Tap to DC connecting cable which connects to the D-tap connection. I hope that helps.
Great video, you’ve convinced me to want to get one of these but your link for the battery just brings me to all the battery selections for neewer. Which battery specifically do I need? Would a 14v work if the light says it’s for 16v? Is there one specific battery you recommend, or do I miss that in the video? Thanks so much!
Hi, great question and apologies if I didn't make that clear in the video, I usually miss something... So your traditional V Mount batteries are 14.4v traditionally and they measure up to about 15.6v to 15.8 volt with no load on them if they are fully charged. So any 14.4 volt v-mount battery with a D-tap connection will work on it then you just need the cable then too. That's why I didn't point at a specific Neewer battery as they will all work once they have a D-tap connection. There is a good price difference depending on the capacity of the battery also. I have the PS099E, there is 30% off that battery atm as there is a new model coming out soon. I hope that helps a bit.
Thanks for the reply. Figuring out batteries was driving me a bit batty so appreciate ya! I used ur Amazon affiliate links so here’s hoping they send some of that money your way cuz your video was pretty helpful for me trying to figure out a portable lighting rig. Cheers!
@kieranhayesphotography I had 2 of the battery powered fiveray 100c , they both had horrible UI, were way too green and died within a few months of purchase... my nanlite, ledgo lights have lasted me years and I really love using them. Let's hope this one is more like those than like the zyhune 🤞
