[@geraldundone]

I like your style.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I’ve always been very stylish. 🤣 Thanks, Gerald. Means a lot.

[@TheyMakeItLikeThat]

Don’t forget handsome. (You said it, not me)

[@LegacyGuitars]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis This is pretty cool, when anything new comes out I watch you and Gerald's videos first. The best.

[@DavidZhou]

Can’t get over how innovative the X100 & G60 are! Great review!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

You and me both! I loved your review too!!

[@todddammit4628]

This is what I hope lights start turning into. I shoot weddings and I'm trying to keep my kit manageable, and lighting is the biggest space and weight burden I have. I'm currently using three Amaran COB 60x and one Lightstorm 60x. They function great, and although those are all considered "small" and "portable" lights, I would love to cut them in half.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - it’s sooo much better to have a lightweight kit

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

My pleasure!

[@RawloftheDead]

Love how this looks. Small and compact with some power. Great review

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s really great

[@PhotoGearFun]

What a great portable solution for on site lighting! As usual very well presented you my friend are in a groove for sure. I may have to grab a couple of these at some point soon. Cheers.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

they are crazy good. and thanks!!

[@workingwiththelight3119]

Looks great. Awesome review 👍 I really enjoyed venturing in the hideouts in your home 🏠

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it can go in the creepiest parts of any home 🤣

[@xhenriquefps]

100W? This is insane 🤯. I just got the M40 and it gets noticeably hot in seconds after turning it on. The M40 is already strong, just not stronger than the sun 😅

Mark, is the Zhiyun 60W light emission comparable to the Godox 60W?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes, there will be a similar output.

[@jekfilms7197]

Hey mark! I have a question though it's not related to this video. Why it's too saturated after color space tranform in DaVinci Resolve when using HLG3. Any fix or tweaks?

[@Hiah.l]

Looks like a great addition for a small light kit that can use USB-C PD power banks. Been following a kickstarter project Slite that promised shipping since last July but this looks more legit.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

oh this is legit for sure. Zhiyun is a great company and these are production models.

[@babybonesxd4810]

I clicked to watch cause I love your channel but now I need this light 😮

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It's sooo good!!

[@kcc7163]

Thank you for your review, I also bought this lamp, In my detailed test, I found that not only the color temperature of 1-3% output is abnormal, but also 1-7%. For example, 5% output 6300k is cool white light, but when adjusted to 6400k it will become warm white light. Do you also have this problem? My x100 is using Firmware V1.7.8

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - the light is not displaying accurate kelvin in the lower percentages. Zhiyun said they are going to fix the color temp problem in the lower percentages in the next update.

[@LuckyFinnProds]

Where'd you get that stand for the light?!

[@MrFraiche]

Great find! Awesome content 👍 Wish they weather sealed it tho.

[@castielvargastv7931]

I want the same light with 200 watts. I dont mind if it is a bit bigger. 100 watts is fine but with 200 watts you can do almost everything.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

that would be awesome

[@GlassfilmWeddings]

It’s a little pricy but I’m sure it will be on sale soon

[@gaandu312]

I am a begger 😢😢but I love to watch ur videos .... May be someday .. I have camera too.. I love ur videos ... ☺️

[@umavoz7]

Another great one Mark…. Always making me want to spend more money😂😂😂.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

someone has to join me in spending everything on camera gear

[@umavoz7]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yes!!! It makes my wife so happy!!!!😆

[@foxxmediaja]

Can it be used for a wedding photography shoot? To use with a trigger on the camera etc?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it’s not a flash photography light - this a constant video light

[@korrze]

I’m concerned about it’s light output. 3881Lux at 1 meter. The Godox SL-60w is rated at 4100Lux. I use the SL-60W and I’ve been wanting a more powerful but smaller/lightweight light. 😕

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s very hard to trust those ratings as the conditions, and modifiers have a lot to do with it. But I would suggest getting the smallrig RC 120d as a step up from the SL-60w. the bicolour lights will have significantly less output

[@markwiemels]

The walking light is a great idea! That didn’t occur to me.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

don’t move much - but when I do - I might as well have a light 🤣

[@markwiemels]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis at least one of you will be bright. ;-)

[@Walkingclaxxic]

Very handsome review

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

very handsome 😎

[@tyleradams3490]

Ha! Loved this

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

thanks!!

[@stanleygarland1666]

Really impressive light though

[@careyfiock8701]

Laughed out loud at 2:34 Mark, heh. Do you think Zhiyun will put out an RGB version of this light? I don't know why I care but I do. I want all the colors! Also unrelated, but are you going to review the SmallRig Advanced Compact V-Mount Battery Mounting System 4063 that I keep getting bombarded with ads for? Seems like it might be a good fit for on the go footage with the ZVE-10.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Zhiyun will release more lights soon I am sure - don't know if this one will come in RGB. Haven't heard anything from SmallRig yet - I'll take a look

[@iSpike]

🇦🇺 All AUD $ - X100 = $719, 60W pocket = $399 and the 60W combo = $549 - All Plus shipping $$$ Anyone still going to pay 💰 that much for these? I’m saving up for a few of the Sirui brand lights for my studio 👌🏻

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

that’s pretty pricey for sure. x100 combo pack is $349 usd with free hopping so that’s not too bad. sorry to hear!!

[@KPGuitarStudios]

Watching a Mark video in Toronto, boy that feels special huh? 😂 Very cool light, just got 2 RGB lights, delivery on Thursday. New videos en route soon 🤘

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Nice. You got good weather after all?? Been to Vistek yet

[@KPGuitarStudios]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Damn man, Henry's and Vistek in Mississauga were some of the worst shopping experiences of my life! Brootal man. Gotta say, XT-5 looks like a slick photo camera 😮

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@@KPGuitarStudios too bad about the shopping!! XT5 looks pretty awesome

[@KPGuitarStudios]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Are there any stores in TO you like? Seems like I get very sour as of late with how awful every shopping experience is

[@stanleygarland1666]

Wish lights and gimbals weren't so damn expensive, that's 17.45 weeks worth of my allowance that I also use for food at college

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - look at the channel for some budget options. the Godox SL60W is bigger, but it’s a great light for much less.

[@stanleygarland1666]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'll look into it, thanks

[@dccoletrain]

I feel like everyone watched DP Review exposing to the right video since it’s the 3rd video today I’ve heard it 😂

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I mean, I DO like DP review - but I expose to the right because I use the LeemingLUT in my studio shots a lot.

[@dccoletrain]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I’ve heard you reference it before. Maybe one day I’ll get on your level

[@KaiDown]

Dang, that thing really makes my SL60 feel inferior 😄

It's Christopher Nolan :)

[@artistadrtm]

Can you talk about the power brick plz? That seems to be larger and heavier than the light itself.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The power brick is great. It actually acts like a comfortable grip. It weighs about as much as the light, but the light is very light-weight so that only makes sense, The whole unit together is still very small and very light. There's nothing like it

[@OdiumTV]

I’d much rather have this on hand than a certain noisy inflatable monstrosity

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

haha. I love that balloon light. But I love everything 🤣

[@dubment]

other youtubers have tested it and its not 100w so stop promoting scam marketing products as amazing...

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it is 100 watts. Markus Pix measuring brightness is not the same as wattage. Brightness output will depend on a lot of things like if a light is bi-colour, what reflector is used, surface area spread, modifiers, and more. Be careful who you listen to, check the facts for yourself and try not to accuse people of scams based on what a youtuber says.

[@dubment]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis seems that you're trying to get out of this but you're only making it worse by basically saying that its a light that uses 100w of power but can't output the same amount of brightness...

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I was just being polite. Wattage does not determine brightness. Markus Pix measured a bicolour light vs a daylight balanced light. Bi-colour lights have roughly half the brightness output because they have half tungsten and half-daylight LED’s . Markus also used different reflectors. He seems like a nice guy but he is wrong. if he had measured the amaran 60x (the bicolour one) against the X100, he would have discovered the x100 is brighter. Many people pointed this out to him in his comments section. Try not argue for other people who are giving misinformation. Like I said - all the info is there for you to find for yourself. You should engage with people with curiosity instead of accusations. Ask questions if you have them and you may discover new things. But insulting people is not going to make them want to respond to you.

Mark's Neighbors: Husband: "Honey, look, Mark's finally gone completely 'round the bend. He's climbing in the trunk of his car tonight." Wife: "Is he closing it? You think he'll be OK in there? I hope he'll be able to get out." Husband: "These are the people in your neighborhood, in your neighborhood, in your neigh-bor-ho-od...🎶" Wife: "'Night hun, love you." Husband: "Night babe, love you too." Lights out 😴

99% sure this happened

[@zelkuth]

I need to unsubscribe from this Channel. You sir gonna make spend all my money on lights! It looks amazingly handy! Do I need it? Maybe. Do I want it yes!! Note: it would be nice to give us on the description or a pinned comment the % you had the light on each shot, so we can “estimate” it 😅

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

will do - studio 65% (slog3 overexposed) Car scene 1% Trunk 1% laundry room 4% Crawl space 4%

[@quirkworks4076]

Exactly! I'm getting a t-shirt made that says, "Warning: Watching Mark Bennett will cost you money" (wink)
