A pioneer and world leader in innovative gimbals for cameras and smartphones, ZHIYUN is a new entrant in the lighting industry, having recently introduced its line up of lighting solutions for filmmakers. Now the company expands on both families with the MOLUS G200 and the FIVERAY V60. ZHIYUN’s new professional lighting tools offer power, portability, and reliability, thanks to ZHIYUN’s proprietary DYNAVORT cooling technology, which prevents overheating and flickering. Both of these easy-to-use light sources give content creators unparalleled efficiency and control over the creative filmmaking process.
Liao Yilun, CEO of ZHIYUN says, “Traditional cumbersome lighting products cause serious limitations for videographers and filmmakers. With our innovative, lightweight, easy-to-use products, we remove those restrictions, simplifying filmmaking so content creators can fully unleash their creativity. Our patented cooling technology allows high-power, concentrated lighting, making lights like the G200 and V60 small, powerful and reliable.”
The ZHIYUN MOLUS G200 is a powerful palm-sized 200W COB (Chip-on-board) light source, perfect for live streaming, interviews, portrait photography, commercial ads shoots. The compact size (127mm x 67.5mm x 225mm), and weight of only 2.209kg, means users can take it wherever imagination strikes. The one-press MAX Extreme mode boosts power to, ZHIYUN says, “a staggering 300W.
