Zhiyun led lights
Added 2023-04-08 15:12:06 +0000 UTCGot myself 2 new high power pocket lights, Zhiyun Molus x100 (https://amzn.to/3KoApgw) and M40 (https://amzn.to/3Gx5nSn).
I love to use a small pocket light for model shoots to have either a frontal "paparazzi style" lighting or to create different light situations in dark environment (studio and on location). both lights are very light, battery powered, bicolor and have high light output for such a small size and weight.
Before I used a Falcon Eyes F7 pocket light (https://amzn.to/3mqLuWa), which is RGB and magnetic, so its very practical for different situations and I always have 2-3 of those when I travel. You can put those in different spots in a hotel room to create practical lighting to emphasize environment, to create atmosphere. F7 led has only 12w, so for model shoot like this one you are a bit limited with the output. I go up with ISO to 1600/2000, open aputure like 2.8 and shutter around 1/100s. With modern cameras (I use sony A1) its not a problem to shoot above ISO 1600, but more light is always a better option :)
Zhiyun 40w light is about 2 stops brighter then F7 and allows me to go higher shutter speed or less ISO to achieve better quality. I am not missing the RGB options on those, as I am not often use color in my shoots nowadays :)
The 100watt version is also compatible with bowens light modifiers via adapter and can be used with cable on location.
