This is a good review but it doesn’t include the potential negative aspects. I’m aware that these would add to the price, but they should be mentioned. No Bowen’s mount (so it won’t work with most attachments), no Bowen’s adapter (you’ll need to buy this if it is available-and I don’t think one is available for this mount type at this time), a reflector that is not standard size and probably makes a hot spot to give an inflated impression of brightness (Is it useful w/o a diffuser/soft box?), no case (most newbies for equipment like this don’t own cases), and no power brick(from what I’ve read). Also, the lower fan noise and lower brightness levels (from using NF-P batteries) are good to know-but you probably want to buy this light to use at full power (not forced to compromise with only limited power). This IS a good light in many ways. I’m not slamming your good review b/c there is much useful stuff in there, but the review seems incomplete w/o that other information to consider.
Hey there. Sorry for the delayed response and thank you for your comment. Please don’t feel that your comment is negative. I appreciate constructive feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
You’re right to bring up the negative side of a review and this one is no different. So the RC 100B has two available options: a Mobile and Standard combo. The Standard combo includes a mini Bowen’s mount, a reflector and diffuser. The Mobile kit includes a NPF battery plate and mobile handle. The one negative that didn’t make the review is that none of the kits include the power adapter and that only because apparent after my review. So optional extras are: a softbox, v-mount battery and the power adapter making this light less of a budget option.
@@BrionneOlsen thx for that. I’ve done much research b/c I recently bought six 60W portable lights like this-for outdoor purposes. These new designs are amazing, but there are limitations to consider. It seems NF-P batteries are limited to 60W lights (at full power), but V-mount can go a bit higher. But the rush to ultra small portable lights (smaller than this light) really introduces many compromises that I do not want.
You're right; it’s the same situation with this light. NP-F batteries have limited power output-I found that a 99Wh v-mount battery works, but it only provides about an hour of use. A larger V-mount battery, like the SmallRig 212, should last significantly longer. Power banks are the least ideal option since they’re restricted to their specific wattage output (e.g., 5W, 20W), which limits the power you can draw from them.
@@BrionneOlsen I can get ~80-90 minutes with two 10800 NP-F batteries with my 60W lights. That's just enough time to do what I need. Thx again for the video and follow-up chat
Sorry. I missed your comment. It depends on the output. Most standard PD Power banks have a watt out of 5w. That will give about 5% on the light. 20w = 20% and so on. Look at a heavy duty PD Power Bank.

Cool video, but dude, you can't talk about color accouracy without R9 and the ssi (there are the most important one) the cri don't mean anything
The SSI is 85 at 5600K. The R9, R12, R15 ratings I didn’t have access to at the time of recording this video.
Hey which light tube/wand are you using?
It's a Neewer Wand light: geni.us/NMuQbsP
Does it run at full power from usb-c?
Sorry. I missed your comment. It depends on the output. Most standard PD Power banks have a watt out of 5w. That will give about 5% on the light. 20w = 20% and so on. Look at a heavy duty PD Power Bank.
I’d still recommend a V-mount battery. You can get one at the same price of some power banks and get more usage from a v-mount battery.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
I appreciate it brother, thank you.
What .ade me buy this is the dmx interface. I can control all the s.allrig lights with a woreless dmx setup
Good to hear you’ve found a setup that works great for you.
