Thanks for the review! I wish it had a dedicated remote instead of an app based remote. I love working with light and a c150x + a gobo would be sweet! I think light elevates any footage and is the equalizer between a 100 and 10,000 dollar camera.
Thank Your Filmmaker for this INFORMATIVE video. As of today, August 21st, 2024, yours is the ONLY one that test this light with a Vmount battery. The most interesting thing is when you demonstrate your Vmount battery can supply only 50% of the power that this light needs.
I am a student filmmaker in the Philippines, renting lights have been tough as I don't always have a budget. This light won't only solve my problem but boost my outputs as well. Cheers from the Philippines!
I would use C150X for filming events and weddings, I will always put it in my bag because it's so small yet so powerful, I don't need to decide weather I need to bring lights or not anymore. I can just bounce the light to the ceiling or I can put it behind the bride and groom to get their silhouette and spray water behind & in front of them to get rain drop effect, also add blue or orange color gel to get different style, get them to kiss & shoot in slow motion 😊 Great channel, you deserve more subs!
I really like that the pocket options get better so they can replace bigger gear. I'm going aboard soon, I would love to have this with me as a compact option to improve my lighting in interviews!
I am currently stuck with no lights at all for creative filming and always have to depend on natural or practical lights. Winning this light would be really good as I can literally set it up anyway to make my videos better. Great review, as always!
Just finished the video and I gotta say I enjoyed this review! I think this combo is great for run and gun filmmaking and for photography as well. The fact that that is bicolor, lightweight and you can break it down easily is a game changer and I like the power output too for something relatively small 🤝
Seems like a perfect travelsize light with great features. This would be perfect for my work as a real estate photographer/videographer. I am currently in the market for a light like this, but the 100 watt lights seem a bit underpowered. Thanks for your review and keep up the good work. Almost 10k subs!!
Thanks for the great video! This amazing light would be perfect to use in my portrait photography. Light position is key and this light, being so portable and small, would allow me to quickly obtain strong results.
Thank you for the detailed review. I'd love to use C150X for compact spaces like car scenes and small bedroom/bathroom setups and I think it would be a cool addition to my film making abilities.
Thank you for your review!!! It hasn’t been reviewed in Korea yet, so I was very curious. I‘m mainly taking the necessary photos for articles published in publications, and recently I’m even doing a simple video shoot. So I‘m feeling the need for new continuous light lighting.
Let me tell u bro，super bright! You know, 5310 lux @ 1 meter, nearly 2000 lux higher than the 100 watt constant light on the market. The key is that regardless of low or high brightness, its color temperature is very accurate. It will be a good choice for U😁
Honestly I would plant the light on a c stand arm rigged in front of a car as key light to expose the subject properly inside the car Given it's super light, this thing can be a life saver in complex tight spaced scenes where we probably would boom the light or tape it on craped places. Also it's a great little pocket light for traveling corporate interviews where I can easily pack it inside my camera travel bag. The possibilities are endless with this light. Easy to do vehicle scenes Mounted action scenes Or hide it in scenes as a motivated light
So, are you saying it's impossible to run this at 100% power, unless it's plugged into the mains, rather than a battery? If that's true, that rules it out straight away for me
Wow, the size and convenience of this light is amazing. I'd love a chance to win a light like this. I'm working on building my small personal photography/videography studio at my home.
Looking to upgrade my Elgato Key lights to start product videography. Thought about the Godox SL 150W, but found your video. This new light looks really really promising. ❤ Great video!
I always wanted to have a light to improve my videos and creativity. Specially this portable light which I could setup easily and bring anywhere but unfortunately I couldn't afford it, I believe if given a chance to have this light I could create better and very good videos like you sir. This would really help me a lot and boost my creativity.
Very informative video, thank you! Can I suggest a comparison video between this and Colbor W100? I feel like they're pretty comparable and even have some similarities in the design.
I don't own any light myself right now but one v1 flash as I do photography more, I would really appreciate to get one of this for both my photo and more of my video works, I can't wait to go out and create so much more with it.
Really nice review. Looks like a great little light and for people like me who do everything in a backpack it really will help instead of taking big lights and breaking my back :). Thanks for the info and fingers crossed for the giveaway.
Yours was the only video I'd found in English. THere was some Chinese chap but I couldn't manage a translation. More power and less bulk is good. I'm getting old(er) and the lighter weight is always welcome when bring kit out for gigs. Greatr review and thanks for taking the trouble with the details. I'm just curious as to what is flash mode. It's not like you canuse it as a camera flash. It's probably quick blinking lights.
Thanks for stopping by on mine.… the flash mode are the effects the light can do. Maybe you want to mic-mic an act being surrounded by photographers or the sort. It's just effects
I’ve seen many videos of similar lights by competitors. Obviously, the small size is great, and with this style of light all share similar problems-getting very hot, fan noise, needing a full-size Bowen’s adapter. The design looks beautiful. I like Sirui, but it’s disappointing with the uneven light when using the Bowen’s adapter and a full size reflector. It should create much more even light with the adapter. That’s why I prefer a light with a built in full size mount (even if it makes the light larger in size). Disappointing also that with a v-mount battery the light can’t be used at full power (if I understand you correctly). At half power on this 150W light (with a V-mount battery), a Sirui 60B light would create nearly equal light by instead using two NP-F batteries. Obviously, many people don’t need to use lights at a full 150W of power, but they buy a powerful light to have access to that power when needed. On a V-mount battery this 150W light has a wimpy 50% power. Is there an option to use multiple V-mount batteries and allow for full power?
@@GeologyDude your points are very valid. You'd expect that with an adapter the light should at least be even. About the v-mounts, I don't know why I wasn't able to achieve full brightness and unable to test multiple vmounts at a time. Not sure I know how to. But also its good to know the limitations.
I've had a thought, I may have to get myself something like a dual V-mount power adapter or something. But I have none at the moment will search for one. Thank you for your observation. I hope Sirui see this
@@YourFilmmaker I am certainly not complaining about you regarding these issues. You published a good video, and you had the equipment that most people would have available. Best wishes to you!
@@YourFilmmaker the caribbean, but i shop from Amazon and BH Photo. They had it for a short period as well Adorama. When i tried to get it, it was late. And i love Godox quality, that's why i didn't want Cinepeer, Colbor or any other pocket light.

I tried this with my CoreSWX Neo 9 Mini and FXLion Nano one and only got 50% brightness. With my Shargeek 170 powerbank I got 60% Max. Check the video at about 3:23
Looks great, I was looking for the small Zhiyun lights before (X100 and G200) but this would be somewhere between. Stronger than the X100 but still possible to use it with batteries outdoors.
Loving this. I wonder why it's limited to 60% (about 90 watts) if the battery can do 170. Must be an older PD for the light right? I wanna win one so I can test it :D
Hallo😊 überall in der Welt? Ich würde mich soooo sehr freuen wenn ich der Gewinner wäre. Ich bin ein armer Theater Schauspiel und möchte endlich meine eigenen Szenen drehen, mir fehlt aber das Geld um gutes Licht zu bekommen😢 ich würde mich riesig freuen und wäre dir auf ewig dankbar und schicke dir natürlich meine Filme die ich damit machen werde. Ganz liebe Grüße
Guys, this light is extremely poorly made. We just got a copy for our shop and returning it. I’ve bought a ton of light gear, this has been the worst one of them all. I honestly couldn’t believe how poorly made and flimsy are the mounting points on this light, I’ve seen better on $30 lights. Im sorry dude, but it’s hard to believe you’re being honest in your review, how can you ignore the fact that the lock-in pins are all very flimsy plastic, they barely lock. The bowens adapter is even worse. It cannot hold any serious accessories or soft boxes. The plastic lock on pins and the bowens modifier adapter are extremely flimsy, and you can snap it in half easily. I didn’t not expect it to be this bad, but this is a new level of unusable. It’s like Temu crap bad. Shame, Sirui is trying to make a few dollars at your expense and their own reputation. My shop has lights from $15 to $8,000, this is seriously the worst light I have ever bought. Do not buy, you’ll waste your time and money. They should redesign and relaunch this product, this is an embarrassment. Ignore this warning at your own risk.
@@user-df7ny7ro2x Bro, not because yours is bad you should blow the roof off. I currently used one in my studio with the adapter and a softbox lantern on it for weeks now and I haven't had any issues. You bought a faulty unit, and it happens. Even Teslas and BMWs get recalled. When you say serious accessories what are you trying to attach to it? I've had no issues so far. There my main light here in my studio.
What are you talking about? This is not a faulty unit, they designed these lights with the worst and flimsiest plastic on the most critical point of contact for the light - the fixture mount with plastic lock-in pins. Maybe yours can last a bit longer in the studio with a light accessory on but this thing won’t survive in the field for even a few days. Not a defective unit, don’t gaslight. Will they ship a second light made with metal lock in pins and a completely redesigned fixture mount and a redesigned bowens adapter? I’ve contacted them with request to redesign, if they do, good for them. If not, others will point out the same thing and review accordingly.
@@YourFilmmakerno it’s not, it’s exactly the same as the copy you’re reviewing, with the same insanely flimsy plastic mounts and same accessories. Stop being selectively deceiving with your subscribers. This thing won’t last even a couple of weeks in the field before the mount points break off, probably even less. I’ve never seen more flimsy mounts than this.
Wow, quite the contrast in perspective here. It’s hard to know whom to believe, which means your post reads credible to me due to your detailed reasons. The dude in the video is trying to sell this light. He earns money from doing so. So his perspective is hardly neutral. And you’re either reality stepping in and making it known what everyone should know here, or a competitor’s shill throwing rotten eggs on the product. No offence intended, if you are legit. I don’t know allot about these lights, I buy Aputure and Amaran brands based on a recommendation by someone I know, who knows more than me. The brand hasn’t let me down. But I’m just a hobbyist. I’d like to get a light like this Sirui one day. I may check the Colbor equivalent or just wait until this style of light is more popular and get something with some history of being a good buy.
I would be so happy if i really won this, i would use it across all the things you can do with it. From macro photography all the way to my starting youtube channel thank you so much for the opportunity to win this. 🫡
Ok. I’m just a few mins in, and I’m enjoying every details
Thank you
Thanks for the review! I wish it had a dedicated remote instead of an app based remote. I love working with light and a c150x + a gobo would be sweet! I think light elevates any footage and is the equalizer between a 100 and 10,000 dollar camera.
I think I'm tired of having physical remote controls. What I wish now is for light companies to adopt a universal app
This one seems ideal to start offering quality video with my product photography. Also for some reason I think sirui's branding seems so clean to me

Thank for the review 🔥
this was a very detailed video and we appreciate all the transparency!!
@@ruffprophetproductions thank you and thank you very much.
Great video! It looks much better than any of in it's class right now. I would use it even for key light.
I need a portable light like this for my portable documentary setup. Having everything packed and readybl to go in a single case.
I would use C150X for filming events and weddings, I will always put it in my bag because it's so small yet so powerful, I don't need to decide weather I need to bring lights or not anymore.
I can just bounce the light to the ceiling or I can put it behind the bride and groom to get their silhouette and spray water behind & in front of them to get rain drop effect, also add blue or orange color gel to get different style, get them to kiss & shoot in slow motion 😊

question is it possible to turn it on 100 % brightness in outdoor scenario?
At around 3:30 I tried it with 2 different v-mounts and a power bank and didn't get more than 60%
Use 20-26V V mount battery 😁 100% 14.8V battery 60%

Hopefully @zhiyuntechglobal see this
does it have
1/4” Screw Hole ?
Yes it does. At the bottom
Is it possible with a power bank to reach 100% brightness?
Not at all. With my Shargeek Powerbank I could only reach 60% see at 3:55
can this light work at maximum brightness with vmount battery?
