I’m expecting mine today. I already have a ML60 and a ML30. It’s gonna be a god sent gift to replace the SL150ii with this for outdoors shoots (with access to power outlets). I use the SL150ii as a main light and the ml30 and the ml60(at 50% power) as rim lights for interviews in a 3 camera setup. Minus 3 kilograms in the bag 🥳
I used the Ugreen PB205 145W power bank and plugged into the type c port, but it only got 85% brightness. Do you know of any power bank that can achieve 100% brightness?
@@ThePhotographerGuyI’m pretty sure if you do a usb-c to dtap cable you will get full power. I’ve been in contact with Colbor and they are about to mass produce a 6-foot usb-c to dtap that’s rated for at least 120w. I have those small rigs v mounts and zgcines, they don’t do more than 60w power delivery via the usbc port, that’s why you’re getting only half power.
@@DenisPacuraru-d3o Just got this light and it is scary bright even at 1%. would to see examples of how you guys use it at weddings. so I put these on 12 stands with a vmount and sand bag it but still found it to wobbly for my liking (queue in drunk guest) .my plan was to lower the center of gravity placing the vmount at the bottom so i got a 10ft USB c cable since i cant find a dtap that long and saw the limit. i came across a markuspix youtube video where he uses a 100W D-Tap to USB-C Bidirectional Charging Adapter that lets you hit 100ws of power through USB C
Thanks for the review dude! This really answered a lot of my questions. I've been looking for a review of this light since it came out, and I couldn't find any. Looking to use it in a documentary setting. How is the shadow quality with the reflector that came with the light? It feels like the element inside the reflector might diffuse the harshness.
I pre ordered the 36 degree one. The 15 is a bit spotty. Hit me up on IG and i can send you a sample. I also have and love their small softbox. bhpho.to/3WfNQWZ
Thank you for providing a detailed review. Do you know, or can verify please, how is the ML100 behaviour when power is cut and back? For example if I turn it on, unplug it from electricity and then plug it back in, would it stay on? Or do I need to reach and turn it on again from the device or the app?
If you unplug it the power it turns off. When you plug it back in, you have to hold the power button on to turn it on again. It does go back to the same settings though. I wish it did have a normal power switch.
Thankyou so much for showing usb-c since I was wondering how far it can be pushed... im guessing if the mobile battery can output PD100w then it can utilize the 100w of the unit? I dont know much about voltage and I know the V mount battery has a higher voltage (compared to mobile battery like Anker) that can be sustained for prolonged use.
@@Fedow_twins yes the proprietary Godox mount but now together with the ml100bi, Godox released a Godox to Bowens adapter as well. So you can use anything
Hello it work fine with the old Ak-B01 with 2 np-f batteries?but they produce 7,2Vx2 = 14.4V its less than it ask? the powerbank with 5A it will be big or i make some mistake?
Is that ML-AK battery attachment? Every online store I ask all said the same thing, the ML-AK wasn't compatible with ML 100 Bi. They all recommend the latest AK-B01 instead. 🤔
What kind of V Mount Battery are you using? I got a new Swit OMNI-99S that should output a steady 150W but the Godox turns off a few seconds later at 80%. Ridiculous.
@@georgiossalon I use the newer 99 Watt. You have to make sure you use the D tap versus USB-C. If you used the D tap then I’m not sure what would cause it to do that. Mine works great.
Thank you for this unboxing. Have you had a chance to hear how loud it gets after a while at full power? I own the ML60Bi and ML30Bi and they're not loud but checking a review of the new ML60IIBi that person said that it was louder than the original.
What is the USB-C power delivery on your Vmount battery there, cause it seems its only 60w. If you were to plug into a battery bank that had a 100w PD you would be fine powering the light.
They actally don't have branding. I woud go with the one in the link in the description. the new small rig one's look great. For V-Mount, I have neewer.
@@ThePhotographerGuy There are something strange here... this light rating ~120 watt power. (20 Volt - 6 Ah) 2 NPF battery province 14.8 volt. So if it can run at 100%, it more efficient than anything at this power. 14.8 volt V-Mouth are 1/2 price 26 volt. Almos light 100-150w run by 26 volt .Sometime battery are pricy than a light.
@@ThePhotographerGuy the ML60IIBi does come with the N-PF option, and there's a kit with both, but the 100W only has the V-mount, I just checked B&H and either one is $39.
Waiting by the minute for this light. Love how portable it is.
It's a rad little light.

I think i'll run with three of these in the fall for weddings.
@@ThePhotographerGuy I received it about an hour ago. I own a ton of Godox gear. This might be my favorite yet.
@@AlexLog314 Awesome! the only thing I wish it had would be a hard-on-off switch. I pre-ordered the 36-degree modifier.
@@ThePhotographerGuy yeah I noticed that it takes a few seconds to switch on and off
@@AlexLog314 ya. other drawback but not a huge deal.

Yes. but the USB-C port put out less for some reason. The D-TAP and DC port was fine with the V-Mount.
Hello could you answer me. ML60 (old version) and ML100 (new) have the same mount or not? I mean can I use soft box from ML60 for ML100
Yes. same 1/4 20 base mount and same modifier mount.
@@ThePhotographerGuy awesome. Thank you after watching your video I bought it 😁
@@Fedow_twins yes the proprietary Godox mount but now together with the ml100bi, Godox released a Godox to Bowens adapter as well. So you can use anything
I wish they made a small 120w daylight only light. Would be perfect with v mount battery for shitty getting ready lighting scenarios.
For sure. The CRI is pretty high though. And it has a good output.
Hello it work fine with the old Ak-B01 with 2 np-f batteries?but they produce 7,2Vx2 = 14.4V its less than it ask? the powerbank with 5A it will be big or i make some mistake?
Yes. it did for me anyway.
Is that ML-AK battery attachment?
Every online store I ask all said the same thing, the ML-AK wasn't compatible with ML 100 Bi.
They all recommend the latest AK-B01 instead. 🤔
interesting. Mine worked great.
ML-15 be used with ML60bi (old version)?
Yes. The mount is the same.

I think it's 99 watts on dtap. but only 60 watts for the usbc i guess.
How has this worked vs the amaran ?
It's way more portable and I use it a lot more. Brighter too.
Can I use my Godox AD-S65W in this light?
No, you have to get this one. amzn.to/3T9s3i2
I am using the AD-S65S.
Is there a case included?
not the base kit. only the kit with the handle comes with a nice hard zip-up case.
Awesome video! What brand of batteries you're using?

@@ThePhotographerGuy Thanks
Wait for RGB version
awesome! if you were just starting would you get the ML100 bi or ML60ii Bi ?
ML100 for sure.
Thank the Photographer Guy for this INFORMATIVE video.
You bet!
What??? this light can run 100%~120w with 2 NP-F battery ?
Yes. I bought the base which doesn't have the NP-F or V-mount connection. It looks like the new portable kids only come with V-Mount adapters.
@@ThePhotographerGuy There are something strange here... this light rating ~120 watt power. (20 Volt - 6 Ah)
