Our editorial take on the Zhiyun MOLUS X100 Bi-Color Pocket COB Monolight

The Zhiyun MOLUS X100 presents itself as a compact, bi-color COB monolight suitable for various production environments, from studio to location work. Its small form factor, at 5.7 x 3.7 x 1.4 inches and weighing 0.8 lb, makes it highly portable.

Key features include a wide color temperature range of 2700 to 6500K with high color accuracy (CRI 95, TLCI 97), as well as a 0 to 100% dimming range. Control options are flexible, offering on-fixture adjustments and wireless control via the Zhiyun app, including a "Music Mode." Powering the device can be achieved via the included AC adapter, USB-C (cable not included), or a proprietary rechargeable battery (not included).

Despite its compact design and high color fidelity, potential users should consider that crucial accessories like the proprietary battery and a USB-C power cable are not included. The proprietary front accessory mount also restricts modifier options to Zhiyun's ecosystem.

Best for: Content creators and videographers needing a highly portable, color-accurate light with flexible power options for diverse shooting conditions.
