It was mentioned on the website and I use it via VMount batteries and mains. I never tried them on that light but when I look on the website now that is no longer mentioned but on the Bi colour version the "B" model. You can see that for yourself on this link.. ie.neewer.com/products/neewer-ms150b-130w-bi-color-led-video-light-66602997?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=dad8c2400&pr_rec_pid=6687184224352&pr_ref_pid=6991914958944&pr_seq=uniform That's the Irish version of the website but it clearly mentions it works on that light. So in all honesty I can't say it will or won't work. Sorry about that, I wish I could be more help there.

@@kieranhayesphotography thanks for your quick reply! I guess I will send an e-mail to Neewer and hope they see it. It's very weird that on the B-model it says power is limited to 44W with the NP-F batteries. That is way too low, even my 60W Jinbei lights can be powered by two NP-Fs.

@andreyspiridonov 44 watts is crazy low. On a V mount battery it does drop down below 100 watts due to the input voltage drop. But 16v to 14.8v isn't that much to drop the power down by half again. When I originally did the review there was nothing about limited power output on the NPF batteries. I am guessing an email from Neewer will set matters straight and again sorry I can't be of more help with this.

Hello, yes, there is little to no difference in colour between these two cameras and if anything I think the Z6ii has a slight edge for colour reproduction but there is very little in it. Texture quality would be similiar but just remeber the Z7ii is a higher resolution sensor so it will give you more detail than the Z6ii but you need to zoom in to see that. I hope that helps a small bit.

Thanks and many happy returns to you and yours. I try to look at the positives of productcts and if there are negatives I call them out also but I don't make a big deal of it. It's always easier to get excited about the positives rather than the negatives :-) Thanks for watching and wishing you some amazing light in 2025.

Enjoy, it's a great lens and happy new year :-)

Oh the Z8 is a truly incredible camera, it's my all time favourite camera. Thanks for watching and enjoy the camera, it takes a bit of time to get properly used to it but it's sooo worth it in the end. Happy New Year and may the light shine with you in 2925.

With diffusion the bigger the light source or diffuser the softer the light. So a larger diffuser will render less harsh lighting, I had planned on doing a video on this so I might get that done in January to explain this in more detail. The "outdoor flash" statement is to highlight it's battery operated so you can bring it outdoors. It just helps to showcase you are not tied to mains power. I hope that helps a bit and thanks for watching.

Thanks a Million Pat, glad you liked it.

Absolutely my pleasure and fingers crossed the videos will get even better for 2025. More importantly happy New Year 😃

Hi Paul, many happy returns to you and yours.... Congrats on the new gear that should keep you smiling now for a bit.... Some of those elves did slow down a bit sadly but hey at least you have something to look forward to now. I hope the delivery arrives soon and enjoy all the new equipment and more importantly happy new year :-)

Thanks a million and glad you enjoyed.

Many happy returns and wishing you an amazing 2025 filled with loads of amazing light and beautiful moments.

Thanks Leon, enjoy the Guinness, slainte

Exactly, I love finding these gems, there is an awful lot more to a lens than just ultimate sharpness and price. Finding lenses like this always makes me smile. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.

Thanks for watching and glad you found it helpful. Have a great holiday season.

Haha... Thanks Leon, I will get around to sharing a video on some of the work I can share, crazily I can't share a lot of it due to modelling contracts and NDA's. I will get around to doing that soon, I didn't think people would want to see that :-) Have an amazing Christmas.

The ZF gives you amazing results from my experience with it. How are you viewing the files? Are you shooting in Lossless Raw? As regards the Preview, it's a jpeg preview you are seeing in the preview window so you generally don't mad details on the previews.

Hi Jessica, if you want to mount it to your phone then a phone cage and something like a magic arm would be the best solution. Or you can use a Phone accessory mount like this one also... amzn.to/4fAuJxw and with the RM120 you get the cold shoe adaptor which can mount onto the phone mount then. I hope that helps a small bit. If you're in trouble let me know and have a great holiday season.

I have to say I am very happy with the 180-600 but it will never beat a good prime, great lens to have in your camera bag. Enjoy the Z8 it's an amazing camera, really love mine to bits.

Now that's a tricky one, the higher resolution of the Z7ii is going to come in handy for larger landscape prints and for wildlife the ability to crop the image more for greater reach is going to help a lot also. For me I would go for the Z7ii, now ideally if your budget would strecth to the Z8 that's the perfect solution, some great second ahnd bodies around the place now too to save you a bit of money. I think you would be very happy with the Z7ii though. Which ever one you go for enjoy it and thanks for watching.

Thank you so very much for the kind words and for the subscription.

Delighted it helped a bit, enjoy which ever one you go for. They are both amazing lenses.

Sorry, I didn't even spot I got that backwards. It's swapping from Jpeg to Raw. My mistake, crazy I didn't spot that. Raw is the better option as a fail safe and if you want to capture images with a greater dynamic range. Sorry about any confusion my mistake caused.

@@kieranhayesphotography Brilliant Kieran. Thought so - Thanks for your great suggestions. Although I've been bald for many a long year I'm off to buy myself a shower cap right now!

I have about twenty of them in my camera bag usually so if you ever bump into me make sure to ask for one :-) Enjoy the ZF it's a fantastic camera.

Just like you I owned both these cameras and used them side by side for well over a year, they are different tools for different jobs is the way I like to see them. The Z7ii is certainly more detailed due to the higher res sensor but as they both have the exactly the same AF system I have to say I never found the Z7ii to be sharper than the Z6ii. Thanks for watching and enjoy the Z7ii, I still have mine but I did sell my Z6ii last year.

Thanks a million Daniel, really appreciate that sub and the kind words.

Totally agree with you. Amazing cameras and to think people were writing Nikon off a few years ago.... They are only getting better now.

There is an updated travel tripod review here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIG3Z3WDi9xjntk

Yes, it kept going and and I held down the shutter button for over 30 seconds and the buffer never filled. The 1tb version of this card has a faster write speed again. It is more expensive though. Prograde changed the way they determine the write speed after I did this video and they increased the speed on the 1tb plus cards

@@kieranhayesphotography very thank to reply quickly. Then I will order ProGrade Gold 512GB CF Express gen 4 card.

@jimmyli9958 It's great value for money. Enjoy.

@@kieranhayesphotography I have tested my ProGrade Gold 512GB CF Express gen 4 card. As you said, I shot with HE* mode at 20fps and Z8 just kept going with no lag or delay. And it also could record N-RAW 8K 60P on this card. It is really great value for money. Thanks!

@@jimmyli9958 Ah it's a pure bargain comsidering the price of the alternatives. That's exactly why I posted the video, I thought it was too good to be true but thankfully it's as good as you would think it would be. Enjoy it and enjoy the holiday season too.

They certainly are bigger than the F mount AFS lens alright. No doubt about that. The most important aspect is you are happy with what you are using. We all use our gear differently and that's what always amazes me about photography. Have a great weekend.

Yes, that's more or less the conclusion I came to at the end of the video :-)

Nevermind! I found it. The one with the hole is the CA063, the one for the Zf with the thumb grip part is the CA079 (or version 2 of the original grip) but no tripod hole on the side, and the one for the Zfc is the CA076. Note: the CA073 also seems to be the same as the CA063 but comes with a different soft-release button. They are very weird with the names smh

Sorry only seeing your comment now. I need to check that link again when I am back in the studio. It should point towards the ZF grip. If that's a mistake then sorry, I don't know how that happened because I double checked them before I posted the video.

@@kieranhayesphotography No worries! This often happens with Amazon. The seller changes the product on the publication and keeps the same link, star rating, etc. That's how you get some weird product with reviews for a different one.

@1RJ2 Ah, now that would explain it alright. I will correct it when I am back later on and thanks again for the heads up.

Usurally that’s camera related not the flash

Hi I am using a 12.4 inch Galaxy tab S7 FE with this unit, while the 17" display is wider than the tablet I do need that wider 17" beam splitter glass for when I use it for talking head real estate shots with a wider angle lens, it comes in very handy then. I hope that helps a bit.

Hi Glenn, Thanks for the feedback and yes I did consider zooming in at 200% on this chart and trust me there is loads of detail in those tiny little lines, I went into immense detail when making this chart for those very reasons. Trying to futureproof it for higher resolution sensors and sharper lenses but in all honesty I think the main reason why you don't see that much of a difference is because there isn't a huge difference between them. I will pop up a blog post on one of my websites with photos over the next week or so that should give you the visual confirmation you are looking for then. I will let you know when I get time to do that. When I am viewing this I am looking at it on a 32 inch monitor only about 16" away from me or otherwise on a 55" tv. I can still see the differences there but as I say they are slight. How are you viewing it? I ask as I am curious to know how I can show this better to people going forward and maybe I should zoom into 200% going forward as you suggested. On the Pro vs photo enthusiast side of things I honestly see no difference between them really as we are all just photographers and trust me clients don't see the difference sadly. The only difference on the pro side of things is when I go on a fashion shoot on a beach let's say it could be a 500m or 800m trek and when you have two camera bodies, lighting, spare lighting, several diffusers, a ton of batteries and two tripods and a laptop bag and about 8-10 lenses with you.... You really start to think about what you need with you as you can't leave stuff on the beach and go back, well not with 20-30k worth of gear sitting on the beach anyway. So, that F1.2 if you know you need it, then it has to go in the bag but if you think there is a only a slim chance you might use it then it could very well stay in the bag in the car. That's what I was trying to say without sounding like an arse in the video, it's an amazing lens but on a shoot you need loads of amazing lenses and that means at least two very big heavy bags. Funny story I did a shoot on an island one day for a company and everyone was on the small boat we hired to bring us over and when I got on the boat it sank quiet a bit and everyone looked at me :-) Thanks again for the input and feedback, my aim is to continue to improve these videos but as I am sure you can understand running a full time photography business, KZbin is only a slight hobby that has gotten completely out of hand :-)

Dependability I would be lying if I answered that as I have only had the Q200 for about a month now but so far it's spot on and has never failed to function for me in anyway. Build quality wise I genuinely couldn't fault either of them and as for colour accuracy again no difference there either from my tests. The AD200 Pro has the option of bare bulb so that's nice but the Q200 then has that super bright 10w modelling light. There are pro's and conns to both I suppose is the right answer there.

Clearly not... But hey there are plenty of other reviews out there to take the piss out of also so enjoy. The world loves an arse hole as they say.

Yes, for low light the F1.2 is awesome I shot a few events on it and it does make a big difference alright.

Wouldn't that be great, I would love to see that happen, Sigma have a 56mm F1.4 so maybe you never know if Nikon drop the block on certain focal lengths that could happen quickly.

Thanks a million and yes, it's a lot easier to carry around the 50 F1.8 alright. We all use our equipment so very differently and that's one of the things I love about photography, so many styles and genres of photography. Once you find the right fit for you that's all that matters :-)

That's what the smart people do 😂😂😂 Funnily they are also the broke people

Exactly both sensors are the same size, that my point exactly. The boundary wall or edges of each pixel are doubled on the Z7ii as it has twice the amount t of them so less surface area for the pixels. I can tell you for a fact and most trusted websites will agree the Z7ii definitely performs worse at higher ISO's than the Z6iii check it for yourself. That's fact.

@@kieranhayesphotography Show me an image where the result of the Z6 has better quality than the Z7 due to higher noise in the later?

Hi John, yes the close focusing distance and magnification are fairly bad on this lens alright. In about an hour and a half I have a side by side review of the F1.2 vs the F1.8 and they are a few of the points I made about this awesome lens. It's a stunning lens though.

They are a great little light, so versatile and a big bang for your buck. The 60 is another great light, I am testing out the HB80B here atm with another light and the Neewer stuff just keeps getting better. The AS600B is a monster of a light, I had a quick play with it one day and that is super bright, enjoy it. I think I need to sort out a Christmas present for myself now too :-)

It's a great light and that modelling light is super powerful.

Now that's a very good question, the v mount batteries I have here are all the 16.8 volt versions. Now in saying that the two NPF batteries that this light can work off would only make up 14.4volts (7.2 volts per battery) so I am presuming a 14.4volt v mount battery should not be an issue at all then. In saying that I also can't say that for certain either. Sorry I can't give you a 100% positive answer on this one. On the v mount batteries the light is stated to lower its output to roughly around 90 watts. It's still very bright though, but that does depend on what you want to use it for of course.
