Yeah but the Colbors have bad reviews on Amazon compared to Zhiyun. I think you should take that into account and do a long term test with both before assuming the Colbor is better. There are literally thousands of good reviews for Zhiyun but I can barely find any for Colbor. Lots of people are talking about quality issues with Colbor. Truthfully, I think there is a “reason” why Colbor is cheaper than Zhiyun.

Complete review👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

So which one is the brightest? Might have missed it. Will it fill shadowside of a model in evening sun?

Howdie! The overall brightest light is the Colbor. The zhiyun reflector has an intense hotspot. Depends on your materials/acessories you are using but I will say yes.

On the Colbor, does the cable you choose to connect a battery make any difference to max brightness? Some lights don't go to full brightness on USB-C

Since my reviews are always side by side, I wanted to do that test vs the Zhiyun battery so I can see what each brand is doing when it comes to external power. Sadly I didn't have the chance to make it to that portion due to Zhiyun battery issue. That is a good question and it should be investigated.

Is the colbor mini Bowens standard and can I use any mini Bowens to Bowens adapter to fit the standard light modifiers, it would help shrink my carry gear to interview shoots

W100 only fits for its official mini softbox CP30. But it'll fit the standard light modifiers with the mount adapter ring, which will be released very soon. :D

Mini bowen same as godox special bowen?

Is colbor w100 compatible with any power grip from other brand?

@theCameraVille

Ай бұрын

Depends on the power output.

Colbor is better in color quality, and price, but worse in build very cheap feeling. I bought the Wonder 60 for the rgb but its the same light physically. I saw charts the Colbor is actually better weird mini bowens mount thing aside... for price diff the Colbor is the winner no question. Kinda wish id grabbed the 100w but I wanted the RGB

Correct! around this price point there was cost cutting on this unit as mentioned in the video. Im just amaze how low it was. The CL100X is a very nice unit. All metal body and I think its $200.

you didn't address the cost of the Colbor Power Pack... does it come with the light or is it separate..

@theCameraVille

Thanks for asking. The power pack is separate. It is labeled on the bottom left of the screen at $99. I didnt want to over power the presentation so I made it transparent. Apologies.

I literally just ordered the CX100, then Amazon showed me this Colbor and on searching I found this video. Too late to cancel the Zhiyun, but ordered the Colbor anyway.

the X100 is a good light but its battery is a complete garbage, it worked 4 times and stopped charging, I hope they will replace it for me. too bad the colbor is not available here in Europe

Yea, I saw the high volume of issue on that battery for the X100. I wanted to test it vs the Colbor but the reviews had me scared. I can ask Colbor if they are planning to sell it in Europe and if so the ETA.
