MOLUS X100 RGB

ZHIYUN unveiled the MOLUS X100 RGB, a powerful pocket-sized lighting solution. The compact and portable ZHIYUN X100 RGB light provides professional full-color, smooth scene lighting – making it an ideal light source for video and photo creators.

Co-designed with filmmaker, Cam Mackey, the thin X100 RGB light has  a heat sink thickness of less than 2cm, a total body thickness of approximately 3cm, and a lightweight design at just 384g. The X100 RGB features vintage-style leather with precision embossing, delivering exquisite texture and unparalleled craftsmanship.

With the ultra-thin Mini Lens Reflector, a first-of-its-kind for ZHIYUN, brightness is increased by up to five times, reaching an impressive illuminance of 12,600 lux — equivalent to the output of 300W to 500W professional video lights. It delivers cinema-grade lighting, with even light distribution – ideal for professional shoots. Despite the light’s power, ZHIYUN’s innovative cooling system ensures stable, high-brightness output over extended periods, making it reliable for fast, high-intensity shooting.

The MOLUS X100 RGB is also compatible with three professional light modifiers for enhanced creative control. ZHIYUN Mini 4-Leaf Barn Doors feature a metal design and magnetic attachment, enabling effortless control over light shaping and reflection. ZHIYUN Spotlight Attachment delivers sharp projection with adjustable focus for a wide range of vibrant color effects to meet the demands of various professional shooting scenarios. ZHIYUN Softbox 40D offers a larger soft light area and enhanced color rendering.

The MOLUS X100 RGB features a ZY mount supporting ZHIYUN Mini light modifiers while also being compatible with Bowens mount modifiers.

ZY Vega App supports multi-light Bluetooth networking control, remote real-time dimming, and group control of light settings, making scene setup easier.

MOLUS X100 RGB (with ZHIYUN Mini Lens Reflector): $269
MOLUS X100 RGB Pro (with ZHIYUN Mini Lens Reflector, Mini 4-Leaf Barn Doors, and Softbox 40D): $449
ZHIYUN Spotlight Attachment: $99
