ZhiyunTech Molus X60 Shines Thru Compact Illuminated Design
ZhiyunTech has unveiled its latest breakthrough in lighting technology with the launch of the Molus X60 series. This ultra-compact video light not only boasts color ratings nearing perfection on the TLCI scale but also incorporates an innovative active cooling system, ensuring extended usage without compromise.
At the core of the Molus X60’s brilliance lies its COB light engine, delivering a formidable 60 watts of power output. Remarkably, this compact powerhouse can sustain full illumination for up to 50 minutes before requiring a recharge, thanks to its efficient design.
The Molus X60 comes in two variants: the bi-color model and the RGB version. The bi-color variant offers a temperature range spanning from 2700 to 6500 Kelvin, accompanied by an impressive CRI rating of 95 and a TLCI rating of 97. Meanwhile, its RGB counterpart elevates color accuracy even further with a stellar TLCI rating of 98, alongside a commendable CFI of 95.
Designed to fit snugly in the palm of a filmmaker’s hand, the Molus X60 emits a meticulously calibrated beam of light, boasting a luminous flux of 2680 Lux at 3.3 feet and 6500K. It caters primarily to social media content creators, solo videographers, and vloggers seeking a lightweight and portable lighting solution for on-the-go usage.
The Molus X60’s DynaVort MKII active cooling system sets a new standard in compact cooling technology. Despite its diminutive size, this cooling mechanism effectively dissipates heat, thereby extending the lifespan of the chip-on-board LED. Furthermore, users have the flexibility to power the light using the supplied adapter, an optional cable, or the additional battery grip, which houses a rechargeable 2550 mAh battery for seamless field operations.
Controlled effortlessly via Zhiyun’s ZY Vega app, the Molus X60 offers comprehensive customization options, allowing users to adjust brightness levels across the entire CCT range with 0-100% dimming capability. Additionally, an array of dynamic lighting effects, including SOS, paparazzi, TV, and more, can be easily activated. The light also features a music mode, synchronizing its output with the rhythm of the accompanying music.
With dimensions of 3.9 x 2.8 x 2.2 inches (10 x 7.1 x 5.6 cm) and a weight ranging from 0.7 to 1.5 pounds (319g – 683g), the Molus X60 epitomizes portability without compromise. Each unit comes equipped with essential accessories, including a mini reflector, diffusion dome, and power adapter with cable. Moreover, with Zhiyun’s proprietary ZY Mount, users can seamlessly integrate various Bowens-mounted accessories using the optional adapter.
