play00:00

I don't know how you would say it but like that I think they have become ZHIYUN making

play00:05

lighting equipment in a very short time ZHIYUN has released a lot of really attractive lights

play00:11

to cover any type of production Total that now they return to the attack with the series B from MOLUS

play00:17

here we have two of them very similar in design but if we rotate them we will see that the LED changes

play00:24

radically here we have the B100 of 100 W the B200 of 200 W but there are also two more versions

play00:33

of B300 and B500 W As you can see in ZHIYUN, they go full on with the lights, they don't waste time. So

play00:41

if you want to know more, we start now quickly, let's see the characteristics of the equipment,

play00:46

get them out of the way and that's it. We try to do a couple of sets, even if they are simple, but I think

play00:52

that It may be a little more interesting to see how the equipment behaves in terms of

play00:57

main technical characteristics, as I told you about the design of the equipment. Eh, well, practically the same, in

play01:03

one part we have a potentiometer where we can control the dimmer, that is, the power that

play01:08

we can control from 0. to 100% and in this part here we have the color temperature where

play01:14

we can adjust it from 2700 to 6500 Kelvin, this offering a cri of 95. Also a little trick

play01:24

is that if we tap on those buttons, we go to different predetermined positions in this

play01:31

series. B from MOLUS also stands out for its cooling system, it is called davol and this is

play01:38

clearly seen by these blue fans that we can find in this area here also

play01:44

in the other part and also in the back part, this allows heat to be dissipated very well and well

play01:52

This way we can have a smaller team than the competition that can fit anywhere

play01:57

really in addition to having control of the team with these potentiometers. We also

play02:03

have available the Z and Vega application from the molus series. We have joined the g60 to the group and we are going to

play02:11

use the application to see how they work with the application we add equipment now we have

play02:18

the three devices connected in the application and simply if we click on one of them It tells us

play02:23

which ones we put on the light bulb we see that it is the MOLUS g60 if we click the light bulb to this other one,

play02:30

let's see what it tells us what this equipment is and finally we would have this equipment, we simply

play02:36

click on the light bulb and it tells us that we are controlling it, we simply click and edit

play02:42

the functions we want. Let's give it a little power We have here different presets,

play02:50

we can mark the one we like the most. As you can see, the Z and Vega application is quite good because

play02:55

it allows us to control the entire range of molus, both the g60 and these new ones, the B series, both in this

play03:02

case the b100 and the b200 The truth is that Zun has chosen to mount a Bowens mount on his

play03:11

equipment in his Molus B series seems to me to be a great success because I think that the more generic the better

play03:16

and so if you already have modifiers from previous equipment, well you will be able to use them. Use these

play03:23

already come in the kit with this modifier, which is good, it is from Zyun and Zyun also has its modifiers.

play03:30

But you can opt for others, for example, this one is from Zillon and the bow mount has what it has is that it is

play03:36

very easy to assemble. And as I told you Even if you have modifiers from previous equipment, as in my

play03:42

case, it is this softbox that has a honeycomb at the bottom, because having a Bowens mount I will be able to continue

play03:48

using it without any problem. Let's see if I can put it in, anchor it quickly and it

play03:55

can be used without any problems. No problem at all. That is the advantage that the Bowens mount gives us. What I

play04:00

would advise you is to buy equipment that has a Bowens mount, whether from Zun or others, but

play04:06

buy equipment that has a Bowens mount, there is a lot of variety, there are many prices and you go. to have

play04:12

many more options when it comes to expanding your equipment as well. It is true that it includes the

play04:17

option of anchoring an umbrella, the typical translucent white umbrella diffuser umbrella. Well, it's good

play04:24

if you don't have windows. Well, they can have a higher cost at the beginning. Well, well. Well

play04:29

you always have the option of using those umbrellas that are always at a very good price unlike

play04:35

the previous equipment that ZHIYUN was releasing that could also work on battery This is

play04:40

a equipment more designed for studio But the good thing about it is that, as we have seen in its reduced

play04:45

size also includes the power supply down here it simply has an on/off and

play04:51

we simply have to connect it to the light with a normal power supply cable in

play04:58

this case one comes in the kit quite long By the way and this is very convenient mainly

play05:03

for studios where they have the lights mounted And it is more convenient to have everything integrated than to also

play05:10

have an external power supply, which can always be more annoying where we hang it and

play05:15

all this we have already talked about the characteristics we know the product quite well we know that

play05:20

It is very compact but really Compared to the competition it is worth it it is not worth it What

play05:25

is the price Well well it is something that we are going to see the time has come for the B metal and the First

play05:31

let me take out La Chuleta and tell you that the b100 This costs 249. I imagine it will be at the

play05:40

normal price without any type of offer. You probably already know that they always leave us a

play05:46

discount code. So if you buy it at the beginning and apply the discount code, well,

play05:50

you can always get a little bit more. The b200 is discounted, as in this case, it is for 399,

play06:00

the b300 would be at 559 and the b500, since it is already a powerful device, it already goes up to 749, but above

play06:11

all, we are going to compare the b100 and the b200, we are going to see if they are worth it in terms of For the b100 I have

play06:17

found this equipment from Amaran, which is also a fairly well-known brand and can be found for

play06:23

34. Of course, without an offer or anything, but it is true that note with the Amaran that it does

play06:29

include that external power supply and the equipment is Much larger, it

play06:35

also has a Bowens mount, which is something that is very good and on the other hand, we already have the 200 W version.

play06:41

Well, I have two of them, the Amaran 200, which was the same as the previous one, as we can see. It also includes a

play06:46

power supply. The molus is A much more compact device, as we have seen in this case, is for

play06:52

414 and we had it for 399. The truth is that in this case it is very similar and

play07:00

also so that it is not just loved, we are also going to compare it with a small rck which

play07:05

is also over 00 in this case it is also 200 W which could be a very similar device to this one

play07:14

but we also see that it includes a power supply and the device well eh the truth

play07:21

is that it seems a little bigger than these molus and Well This is a small price analysis

play07:27

so well it is something that you should always evaluate which option you prefer everyone has a Bowens mount

play07:33

but I think that this equipment is true that it becomes a little more compact than the amaran and

play07:39

the smallrig In both the 100 W and 200 W versions, we have already seen the characteristics of the

play07:45

b200 and the b100 and now what we are going to do is heat up the LED a little. We are going to make a couple

play07:52

of very simple sets. You will see that it is a very minimalist environment. We are going to see that you can use

play07:59

light by simply bouncing it and we are also going to see how you can look for something like that, a light that is a little bit

play08:05

cooler and more cinematic using simply light modifiers and the truth

play08:12

is that today the LED allows us to do all this. Well, a much more economical way

play08:17

than the first set could be done before, bridging the gap, we are going to look for something like that. We are simply

play08:23

going to have this as a reference. Look for a more or less white background and on the other hand

play08:29

we are going to have, we are going to try to make this set like this with a light well an interview of something a

play08:36

little more careful a little more cinematic Let's see what comes out we're going to use

play08:42

those two points of light uh with modifiers and we're going to see if those references simply how

play08:50

we carry them to a much simpler space But well, let's see how this one that you see is the

play08:55

space that we are going to use as a setting for our fictitious interview, now you

play09:02

believe me. When I told you that it was totally minimalist, well, as you see, there is not much going on.

play09:07

It's going to be very easy to bounce the light but well, more or less this is going to be the position of the camera,

play09:12

we're going to have the character here who, for a change, because he's a man, Orchestra is going to be me and Well here

play09:17

we'll put a light here we'll put another light and well This is more or less what we are going to do now

play09:23

I am going to show you what is seen with the natural light of the scene this is the light light that we have at

play09:30

the moment for this scene the truth is that it is a pretty beautiful natural light that bounces quite

play09:35

But it could be the case that we arrived at the location and we did not have good light, or the

play09:41

day was cloudy, or it was night, so we are going to try to search for the same thing with

play09:47

artificial lighting. In this case, the image you are seeing is also the image that appears in I like

play09:53

that camera more than the direction of the gaze, so that part of the face is more illuminated. Now

play10:00

we are going to try to achieve that with artificial light with those b100 and b200 and we are going to see how it goes now

play10:07

we have completely blocked the light from environment and in this case we have a support with the b200 and here

play10:14

we have a support with the b100 eh I'm going to show you what power we have in each one in this case

play10:20

we will use it as the main light and we have it at 3400 and 41 percent and the b100 We have it at 2400

play10:30

also at 58 percent. Now we have the set only with ZHIYUN's lights, as you will be seeing through that

play10:36

camera, the truth is that I am seeing it through a monitor and the truth is that the light has been

play10:41

quite pleasant. Yes, it is true that a reflection appears here in the on the door, which I don't like

play10:48

too much, it would have to be corrected a little but the good thing is that since we have the

play10:53

ZY Vega application, we can enter and we can modify the lights as we wish. In this case, I am going to

play11:00

enter the molus al b200 and do it What I could do is give it a little more intensity. I even

play11:07

think that in terms of intensity it is quite good and we could go to the ZY Vega and we could change

play11:14

the back light a little. It is true that we could look for a more yellow light to have in the

play11:20

against a light that's a little warmer or we could give it a light like that, Eh, colder Not everything

play11:29

without moving, we could also lower the amount of power a little to create an atmosphere

play11:36

But well, we'll see that in the next lighting, now what we're going to do to use are

play11:41

these two modifiers, they are softboxes of about 60 cm if I remember correctly and we are going to use this

play11:49

honeycomb panel to direct the light and concentrate it on the point that interests us most and here you can see

play11:54

the second setting that I have prepared looking for a light, well, more like that, more cinematic, more

play12:01

of a Netflix interview Well, it's not really a very different set than the one we

play12:07

usually use in the Channel setting, it's really a light more or less at about 45 grams, then another

play12:15

counter light and well, and in this case Well, we do have this area. Well, with lighting that

play12:21

obviously we cannot do with just two spotlights and to make it a little more beautiful. Well, I have

play12:26

created that environment from there. Now let's see how it looks with this camera and let's let's see. see

play12:33

with cillum Vega that gives us a little each light This is the focus that we are using against

play12:38

uh you see that we have more or less we are at 58 by 3700 here we see that the main light is at 50%

play12:47

3400 And you see how uh they can be create two very different environments with the same Power amount of

play12:56

light and simply with some modifiers as you are seeing in this camera. This is the image that

play13:02

would be final. The result that would be final. The interviewee would be looking there. I think there

play13:07

is quite a nice light. for an interview for a documentary obviously each of the

play13:13

settings would have a use but I think it looks quite cool now since we have this set

play13:19

assembled And we have the Z Vega application let's see what each of the lights gives us no

play13:25

and Let's go with the molus 2 eh let's see what it gives us And this is the front light Here we see only what

play13:32

the back light gives us And in this case what we are going to do is deactivate the molus 100 which

play13:40

is the one I am using as against And this is what the backlight gives us, it also illuminates

play13:46

this scene a little but it doesn't fill out the face much more and I think it's a pretty

play13:52

cool interview. You see, with two spotlights more or less at 50%, both well, more or The less this setting is also

play13:59

important, sometimes it is true that with the application you go to search for the moles and they do not

play14:05

appear or one appears first and the other does not appear eh How do you reset the bluetooth Well,

play14:11

you have to go to the power button and Simply give it three taps, the Bluetooth will be activated, you search

play14:18

with the Z and Vega application and it finds it and the same thing happens with the g60 instead of the power

play14:25

You have to press the power button three times and it starts searching for Bluetooth and this appears

play14:31

in case you have that problem, which is true that at some times it happens. Finally, what

play14:35

I am going to do is modify the backlight, we are going to change it. a little the color because this

play14:41

would be with a warmer light with 2700 I think it looks a little better as it was before and

play14:48

now we are going to go completely to the other part of the spectrum and we are going to go to Eh Well, that light of

play14:55

6500 It is true that If we had a light that could be seen here, it would make a little more sense

play15:01

to see this blue, but well, we are looking at where the subject would really look. Well, well, it

play15:09

doesn't look bad, but to taste, well, the colors, and I would put it in this case. I would put it a little

play15:16

more even or a little more expensive now We are at F4 with s50 we are going to change a

play15:23

brighter lens and we are going to see I am going to put it to death at 1.8 and we are going to see how that

play15:30

background blur would look And this is The image that we would have at 50 fixed out of focus a little more the background

play15:36

I probably think that from what I see on the monitor I would have to lower the light of the ZHIYUN of

play15:42

the main light a little and I think it will be a little better, let's lower it a little A little bit from what I see on the

play15:49

monitor, it would stay like this a little longer. Now when we review it, well, we'll see if we

play15:55

like the background a little more as it was before or if it's enough. This one, but well, I think it looks

play16:00

pretty cool. Yes, it's true. that eh for the main ZHIYUN it would equalize the temperature and perhaps

play16:07

well eh we could give it a little more counter even and well that way I think we get

play16:14

a pretty pretty image that is quite attractive eh We have already made that setting that we had in mind

play16:20

Well I hope they are for you useful, the truth is that at the moment, well, I also take the opportunity

play16:25

to do some interview tests and all this, so well, it seems like a good piece of equipment, now

play16:30

I wouldn't like to forget that now that I've been using them for a while, it is true that I am

play16:35

In silence this is the b200 I hear the fans I am hearing them here where I am as if they were a

play16:45

computer a desktop computer more or less while I would say that I do not hear the b100 I would say

play16:54

that I am not hearing it it is something that for example for work that I can make a filmmaker, the

play17:00

truth is that I think that that amount of noise is not something that bothers, maybe you will hear something in the

play17:07

background through the microphone. But well, I think it is something that does not bother and for a situation of an

play17:13

interview or something like that, I think that It is something that does not bother you at all, something that cannot be missing

play17:18

in this type of videos, it is even a small Unboxing of how the equipment comes and the truth is that

play17:23

it is something that surprised me because each of the equipment came in its box like In this case,

play17:28

the box of 100 comes on the one hand, Well, a little foam to protect the equipment and on the

play17:33

one hand came the equipment and on the other hand comes the reflector with Bowens mount as I told you And

play17:40

in this small box in this small space of the box, then the power cable, the truth

play17:46

is that I say that it surprised me because it is true that ZHIYUN takes great care of the packaging. How

play17:51

can you carry the product afterwards? For example, the g60 came with a small backpack that you can

play17:57

carry very comfortably with suasa And in this case it is true that the two teams that have been sent

play18:03

come with a cardboard box. I don't know if it is because it is a previous unit, just know

play18:09

that if you buy the b100 or the b200 it will come with this pack and Well, I hope this is

play18:15

useful information for you to know if you later have to buy a backpack or something like that to

play18:20

be able to carry them in the event that you are not going to have them fixed in a studio if you are thinking of

play18:26

buying new equipment lighting now you have some more options to evaluate in that purchase

play18:32

But before buying if you have any questions about this equipment, leave it in the comments

play18:36

so that I can try to help you in that decision and now simply remind you that you have the

play18:43
