Our editorial take on the Zhiyun MOLUS G60 Bi-Color Pocket COB Monolight
The Zhiyun MOLUS G60 has firmly established itself as a disruptive force in the portable lighting market. It delivers an almost unbelievable amount of power from a body that is genuinely pocket-sized, a feat that has consistently impressed creators. This is not just a novelty item; it's a practical, well-engineered 60W bi-color COB light that redefines what's possible for a run-and-gun setup. Its existence effectively eliminates the excuse of not having enough space for a powerful, high-quality light source in your kit.
For solo operators, mobile journalists, and traveling content creators, the G60 is a game-changer. It serves brilliantly as a compact key light for interviews, a versatile fill, or an accent light that can be placed almost anywhere. The well-considered ecosystem, including multiple power options like USB-C PD and a mini-Bowens mount for modifiers, demonstrates that Zhiyun thought about real-world use cases. While it won't replace a large, high-wattage studio fixture for every scenario, its power-to-size ratio is currently unmatched, making it an indispensable tool for anyone who prioritizes portability without significant performance compromises.

Both lights are clearly designed for a one-person crew with a run-and-gun shooting style, as the lights are so small that they fit easily in every camera bag.
These new Bi-Color Mini COB Monolights come in G60 and X100 flavors, denoting their respective 60W and 100W of power output. Available in a variety of accessory kits, both monolights promise to pack a small but mighty punch for creators on the go.
