One thing I forgot to add. Press and hold both, the CCT and DIM knobs for MAX mode. But the light color temp will be set to 4400K and will output 300 watts!
Thank you for a very informative and real world review I'm a professional photographer and use flash 100% of the time I've bought this light for a workshop I'm doing in November, your the first person I've seen that has gone deep into the technical side and much appreciated I shall be subscribing to your channel!

NICE tip with the generator! I really wanted the molus at first but was turned off because it does not have a vmount adapter on the balast but the generator tip is amazing i check it out again! thanks !
I don't even need this G200, but I'm pretty excited Zhiyun keeps releasing this portable lights!! I totally will get another Molus X100 or a G60. Your videos about this lights are THE BEST of all. Thank you!!
Thanks for testing it with a power generator & showing the accurate wattage usage. Even with power generator, the whole package is still smaller and lighter than the existing 200w light with v mount battery i am using 🤣
@@ArtVideoProductions For the power consumption part, the section on 60% and 80% you press a little bit fast to the next level before the watt number could stabilise, would you mind retest those part and let me know how much power would consume stablely at 60 and 80% level? ideally I know I should get a 300wh generator. But given the size and weight, i would like to see If i can get away with a 150-200wh generator, using it at 60/80% level for the convenience of size and weight. sorry for the inconvenience
This was an excellent review of the light and also the uses of it. The real world example was right on point and really highlighted what you were saying of the versatility of the light. One thing I was curious about is I have Calumet Bowens mounted accessories and they don't seem to fit well in my godox SL60 I was hoping it might be a little easier with this light as well.
The G200 Bowens mount has a very snug fit as mentioned in the video. It should fit very much ok, but you might want to lay the soft box on the ground to mount the G200. If your Calumet accessory doesn’t fit a SL60W, there is probably something at fault with your ring. Consider getting a file and slightly taper down the 3 square mounts on your ring.
Thanks for your question and suggestion. Sometimes I wish the same but spending $1,800 on a color spectrometer when I can actually tell when a light is not accurate in color temperature and green / magenta shift by just eye balling, the same way I can tell if a piano is just a few cents off 440 hertz even if the piano is actually tuned. I guess it’s a gift I have… I developed this knowledge in eyeballing accuracy by dealing with lights for 35+ years. But again, of course it’s nice to have that color spectrometer device, no doubt about that. Just by unboxing a light and powering it on the the first time, I can tell if the light is going to make me happy or not at 5600K. Some other light brands for example are manufactured too warm for that color by 900 - 1200 kelvin off! . I’m like… don’t they measure it at the factory?? But this will satisfy your curiosity: the X100 at 10% and under, it’s not accurate. Above 11% yes. The G200 doesn’t seem to have this phenomena. You can also trust your camera color settings when set to manual K degrees examining a light how accurate they are. Especially if your camera is on the high end side. And their LCD display calibration is also spot on. Canon C500MKII, Canon R3…etc.
I said the same thing. I really wish that they had added a v-mount clamp for the light stand. There was plenty of room for it on the back of the control box.
Does the bowen mount support a multitude of other bowen amount accessories? I've heard that although it is a Bowens mount, it doesn't support other modifiers
That’s incorrect. A Bowens mount is a Bowens mount. They all have same 3 square points. The G200 as I mentioned in the video has a tight fit. The best way is to mount the modifier with the G200 off the stand first. Any Bowens will fit.
Great video man! Really in depth. Well done. Just subscribed! Quick question... Can the mounting bracket be removed? It looks like there are 2 hex bolts attaching it to the body. I'd love to be able to potentially swap out the bracket... or at the very least, the handle. I know you said that it's made from aluminum and that it can handle the weight but that handle looks a bit small and awkward to tighten. Thoughts? Thanks!
Thanks for the sub man.highly appreciated. I don’t have the light in front of me but I don’t think there’s a need whatsoever to modify the bracket. Once it’s locked it’s locked, and strong. I would NOT do it. My only complaint (and other creators too) is that the light head doesn’t have a handle when tilting especially when attaching it with a big modifier. The iPhone auto correct drives me crazy. Every time I need to edit a comment 🤣
No and even if you could, a 200 - 300 watt light will destroy your Vmount battery cells beyond repair. You’d need two of those like any other 200 light equipped with a Vmount option mound do. You’ll need a power generator as I described.

Great video! Was that 5x7 softbox real or was just diffussion between two panels? Can you link to it if it's a product?
Thanks man. Yes of course it’s real lol. It’s an illuminated background. The softness it provides is insane. It’s around $500 if you are interested?

Hey man, I was my pleasure to be useful. You’ll enjoy the G200.
@@ArtVideoProductions Dude, I tried but I'm in Canada and the links are American and therefore more expensive.
Can you power it with a V-Mount somehow even though it has a proprietary Cable?
No and even if you could, a 200 - 300 watt light will destroy your Vmount battery cells beyond repair. You’d need two of those like any other 200 light equipped with a Vmount option mound do. You’ll need a power generator as I described.
So it draws only 170W and is a 170 Watt Light!?
No, it draws 210 watts at 100%.

I imagine the pronunciation of Zhiyun was a joke, because it's nowhere close to the original Chinese one.
Of course it’s a humor. The actual pronunciation is “churr-win”
