The sleek and compact build of the CM25 makes it incredibly easy to handle, whether you're shooting on-the-go or setting up for a more elaborate production. And also it boasts impressive battery life, ensuring that I can shoot for extended periods without interruption. This reliability is essential, especially when shooting in remote locations where charging options may be limited. Highly recommended.

As always, a fantastic and very thorough review!

Thanks a lot!

I love these products from Zhiyun, a job well done for making these. Cx100 perfectly suits my need and the price is fair 👏

When the CM25 draws the same amount from the battery the the 40... not sure if it that useful. Yet good to have. thanks for showing

First, I was scratching my head on this but apparently, this extra draw doesn’t interfere at all with the performance and battery runtime. The M40 is still a full f stop brighter regardless of this battery draw test. 🤷‍♂️

I appreciate these lights but i hate those knobs for accurate color temperature it's always a guessing game, but I thought with the x100 they were about to come out with a c100 for RGB! Now that would be game changer

The X100 as you know has that capability. On the CX100 it’s actually easy to deal with that. 1- you can look at your monitor and dial up or down until it’s warm or cool to satisfy your needs. To me is really not an issue and I can get the color I want regardless this way. 2- use a color spectrometer (option for just a few who can drop $1,500 on that)

Great video! 👍🏾

Thank you for watching 👍

can the m40 be used at full power while charging with a powerbank?

@ArtVideoProductions

All 4 lights shown can be used at full power as long as your power bank supplies the appropriate current. For the M40 for example, you’ll need at least a 50 or 60 watt PD. Always use a supply that exceeds what the light needs to give some “breathing” room for the power supply. The CX100, use at least a 120W PD.

Did they fixed the battery problem with the new model? A lot of people had problems with x100 battery. It died after a few charges

Yes. Like I mentioned in the video, (if you didn’t skip stuff) they updated and replaced the internal boards and firmware. That was the actual issue, not the battery itself.

I changed my x100 battery twice under warranty. It burnt my portable usbc charger once. I agree the QC is bad. I try to power from my v batt nowadays.

No Bluetooth, no screen for fine tuning power and CCT, non removable battery. For 50 dollars I'd rather get the x100 that you can make lighter. Also they had loads of issues with the batteries so getting one that has the battery permanently attached to it sounds like a bad choice.

FYI. On Zhiyun X100 and CX100 batteries, they upgraded the internal boards so that problem is gone.

@@ArtVideoProductions great to hear that. But what made the x100 an instant buy for me was being able to pack it so small and not worrying if the battery goes bad since can be replaced.

@@makatron i think the CX100 is great regardless the missing features of the X100. But the non removable battery thing on the CX100 I have no choice but to agree with you.
