Thank you for giving the rigorous tests on these lights, Gerald. It just gives us encouragement and inspiration to keep elevating this product series. You pronounce "ZHIYUN" more accurately than 99% of KZreadrs, BTW🤣

It's yin and not Yun??

@HAlariousInc

Жыл бұрын

@@Mirsab Learning student here…its pronounced similar to “yin” but to some it might sound like “win”. The 1950s standards of Pinyin (romanization of Mandarin characters to Roman characters) is the reason why we see the romanization look like yun but pronounced like yin/win. Zhi is pronounced with a third tone and yun is pronounced with a second tone. Zhi sounds deep at first and then rises when you say yun. Zhi is harder to pronounce than the yun. @Zhiyun-Tech can correct me if I’m completely wrong lol

This is an instant buy for me. I hate having to lug around an additional bag for my lights with ballasts and stands. The fact I can fit two of these in my camera bag and lessen the weight I'm carrying around is going to be a god send

This looks awesome! Pumped that you've maintained and continue to pump out this quality content. Everyone knows what they sign up for before they push play with your videos. Unquestionably one of the best to do it.

This will be great for outdoors videographers like me who need light, but cannot afford to carry enormous bags on while on the field.

Everything about these lights screams high quality. The design, the materials, the thoughtful features--everything. Products like these are satisfying af

These have definitely been my favorite new additions to my lighting kit! Definitely bringing these with me to NAB and other trips this year since they’re so compact!

Lights look cool but more importantly, I've got so much time for the pure enjoyment you had making this haha. I imagine they'd make any crew member smile pulling them out of the kit bag

Gerald, awesome review. I recently moved to SE Asia for a way too complicated project and lighting choices were becoming a bit of a challenge. Small and portable, minimal output, big and reliable with big transport costs. These are perfect for shooting in workshops and creation spaces. And you’ve also been upfront about issues, which, frankly after 40 years of dealing with often rubbish offerings from some very big names, this newcomer to lighting is a solid offering.

I love how truly authentically amazed you are!!! I'm just getting into this stuff and these are very intriguing to me! I have been watching a lot of comparison videos on lights lately and love how small and portable they are 😂 I just might bite.

Thank you, Gerald. Your channel is one of the most trusted review channels. Keep up the good work

dude this was so fun to watch! I love it when you get to share something and genuinely smile. Hope everything is also going well with your kid!

Two of each of these plus some Aputure MCs and you have a whole lighting setup that fits in a Peli 1510 with room to spare for batteries. Also the 60W has a great industrial design, so you could actually use them for a permanent setup.

The cutest little umbrella ever.

I have another version of this same light, the rectangular flat version and love the light with the exception of one thing. The frame grate piece that covers the cooling fan is not structurally stiff enough which means when you grab the light, the frame depresses and contacts the fan. Not a deal breaker but you have to be careful when handling it.

These lights ( especially with that baby soft box) are SO CUTE!!! Adorable omg

I'm glad to see somebody finally make use of a spectrophotometer in light reviews! It would be very helpful if we could see R9 values in addition to the CRI(a) metric, as the latter excludes all swatches above R8. The R9 to R15 swatches are absolutely critical for skintone and deep blue rendering.

Holy moly these are the perfect lights for the projects I do. I currently have some Inexpensive Godox 60w lights that are gigantic and such awkward shapes. I could probably fit at least 8 of these in the space of one of just my clunky lights... not that I could afford 8 of them. I mean there's a reason I am using those cheap lights. But this is definitely going on the future upgrades wish-list.

Oh yeah, we made a Filmmaker Battle video with these lights, they definitely surprised us, never thought a light of that size can emit such a beam of light. Great video, man, thank you for all the information :)

Okay I whole heartedly believe that these lights are worth it simply because of how much joy they produce on Gerald's face throughout the video

That softbox is so adorable. I'm sold.

Would've liked to see the R9 score. The 60 softbox would be cool for claymation armatures.

I thought this was some new Red's camera review only by looking at the thumbnail haha I am waiting for the hero to modify the light to look like Red Komodo one day... or perhaps they could collab!!! then I am soldddd

You did it again Gerald. Another great video love this light

Love this review of them lights, That frigan intro Gerald has to be the best on KZread....LOVE IT..

I've never seen you so happy while reviewing a product!

Nice job as always Gerald!

It is not only informative but also enjoyable to watch.

Fantastic review, thanks lad! Especially the G60 seems be a lovely little to-go option. ☺️

I just got the Molus G60 combo - and it. is. awesome

"LETS GET UNDONE"!! Lol I agree the little 60W light with the Minime Softbox was Adorable!

1:24 I almost asked what's a rubik's cube just to stir the pot lol That toy will forever be timeless haha

for the size and power these lights are insane. great for product shots

woo hoo! new Gerald Undone video!!

very cute lol the tiny softbox is amusing. Looks like it could sit on a shelf for Video shooter decor. Great video as always.

Saw the video -> went and ordered the G60 ! Zhiyun killed it with these. I know they are going to be useful in my small space.

This is surprisingly well thought out! Even the paint looks high quality, the kind you'd see in an expensive camera lens.

That this is their first release for lights makes all of this even more impressive. I've been looking at the Aputure lights Amaran 60s and 100s, but their fan noise always put me off. This seems like a great middle ground for someone who wants to add a small light for video calls and some small photography projects This already has me excited for what they will release next :D

Wish I’d heard about these before I started a 6-month round-the-world adventure with my family! The 60w would be perfect as a travel key light. Awesome review, as always. 👊🏻

Right up my alley. I’ll be filming at a snakebite clinic in Guinea in May and I can use these for interview lights. Lightweight and battery powerable. 10/10

well done gerald, well done zhiyun.. love it!

Very cool and I totally agree, that little 60 watter is freakin adorable! Cheers 🍻

This is a really great design. Such a power in so small a body! I bought x100 immediately after seeing it on youtube. I was so excited to use it for my next wedding tomorrow. Unfortunately, my one stopped working after 20 mins at 100 watts and never got back to life. The display is on but the light is not. It was not hot when this happened. I thought it might be an overheating protection or something but is not. I am now returning this to amazon and will give it another try. Hopefully next time everything is great. BTW thank you for the excellent review, Gerald. As always you are amazing at what you are doing!

I’m on a trip now and I left my amaran 60x at home just because in addition to relatively small light I need to take huge power brick or huge NPF-970 batteries and battery plate, and soft box (I have relatively small aputure 4545) which is still huge for backpack. The fact that this 60w lights is so much smaller than everything else and it can be powered with type C and small 60-100w GaN power brick (which I take with me anyway to power laptop and charge other devices) is simply amazing. And this small cute softbox is also quite useable. Can’t wait to have my hands on it

Okay I might have to buy one of the 60w ones with the wee softbox just for novelty. So frickin cute and little.

@9:10 SO CUTE! Had me laughing out loud and my eyes are watering. These lights make me think of what's recently become a go-to for travel videographers+photographers for their high output and small form factor, the Stella Reflex lights. If you get a chance to review+compare the Stella with other tiny form factor lights, please do!

So stark that fade into black at the end... lol. These look great man!

Yo Garald! Love the videos, as always well detailed. noticed your "undone" sign in the background, pretty sweet sauce! would be sick if it switched from "DONE" to undone as you open and close! keep it up! &all the best!

I absolutely LOVE the design language of these lights. Well done @zhiyun-tech!

Amazing Innovation… Zhiyun is killing it.

I'd get the second one with the baby softbox. Would work for a nice modular solution for b-roll. I need to get new lights anyway. Elgato keylights only go so far.

Ur just perfect man Smart, so thorough, honest, critical, fun and charming Bro ur a treasure, i hope u become the defacto reviewer of all photography and videography products ever Cause ur the gold standard Adieu

With the softbox It looks like the light version of the miniature red komodos that were printed a couple of months ago

Very professional - nice job

gerald got paid and he be so glad to be "the skin tonies be lookin quite pleasin" least he be tellin us, love you gerald!

Thanks as always for your tthorough test ! Only one question : How's the fan noise on the X100 ? Is it at the same level as the G60 ?

Great review! I actually just picked up the new Amaran 60x-S with the new double blue LED and it reminds me a lot of the little 60W here. What I must say though is that the new double blue LED gives me a measured SSId of 87 for daylight which is incredible, as well as zero G/M tint, plus the Kelvin values were very close to accurate to the displayed value (I used the same C-800 you have to measure it all). If Zhiyun can make their next light version with the same double blue LED chip, that 100W version has a fantastic design I'd love to use (very shallow Z-depth means easy packing in a carry bag). Add in a DTAP adapter in the box and it'd sell like hotcakes! Cheers, Paul :)

Wedding videographers, you now have NO EXCUSE for not lighting dance floors. Great video! I might consider picking one of these up! Also you should say "I'm Gerald Undone, and I'm officially switching to Windows Movie Maker"

@@patgilmour7263 I'm a Wedding DJ and hate when I hear about other DJ's being so unprofessional. I go over the top and make sure they have whatever lighting will suit them best. I have custom lighting and ask them which modes they prefer (including off) as I can control them. I guess it's just not being educated, as all they can see is 'setting the mood' and don't take into consideration how much it effects video. That also includes venue staff turning off lights (or dimming they dramatically). I try to teach any DJ's that they need to work with other vendors, make sure they're in the know of what's coming up. Just be pleasent. I also try and tell other video/photographers to not be too polite and educate DJs. I wish someone was brutally honest and educated me when I first started. I was the same, I just wanted to set the mood or think my lights looked cool and leave them on lol

these lights are so cute. I don't really need it but I just bought the 60w with your affiliate link. I think I will use it as a desk lamp because the design is really nice. Thanks for the review.
