These New Zhiyun Lights are AWESOME! (FiveRay F100 & M40 Review)

== IMPORTANT ==

It would appear there was a big miscommunication between Zhiyun and I as to whether the FR100C was going to be renamed to, or replaced by, the F100. The F100 is a successor the the FR100C, and the F100 is what is shown in this video. The significant difference between the two is that the F100 is twice as bright in HSI mode, and includes the case and accessories I show here.

I'm sorry for any confusion! Please forgive me :'(

In this video I review the brand new Zhiyun FiveRay F100 RGB tube/wand/stick light, as well as the M40 bi-color pocket light.

These are the first lights from Zhiyun, and apart from being insanely bright, they have a lot of other good things going for them.

The F100 includes a grid, barn doors, and my favorite, the softbox diffusion. This makes it one of the very few legitimate options as a key light in the tube light category. Since it can be stored with the barn doors and diffused attached, it's one of the quickest-to-setup soft light sources imaginable.

The M40 is a solid, ultra-bright bi-color pocket light that works great as an accent or fill in a wider variety of scenarios than most pocket lights.

Both lights are 1-3 full stops brighter than similar alternatives, but does that mean they're the best option out there?
