The Zhiyun Molus X100 delivers professional-grade LED output in a compact, portable package. It suits video, streaming and photography work where space and mobility matter. The light balances high power with intuitive controls and multiple ways to stay powered on location.
Weighing just 385g, the Molus X100 remains easy to carry and mount while providing a 100W professional power output. This combination lets content creators achieve strong illumination without a bulky fixture. At 5500K with the included reflector and measured at 1 meter, the X100 produces 17032 Lux, providing a clear reference for brightness in practical setups.
Moreover, the lamp offers a wide colour temperature range from 2700K to 6500K. Colour rendition is high, with CRI≥95 and TLCI≥97, which helps preserve accurate skin tones and colour fidelity in both photo and video work.
The X100 supports three different power methods to reduce downtime and increase shooting flexibility. First, you can use the included X100 Grip battery for truly mobile operation. Second, you can plug in the 120W AC/DC power adapter that is supplied in the box for continuous mains power. Third, you can use 100W PD fast charging when a compatible PD source is available. This range lets you choose the best power method for studio shoots, location work or quick run-and-gun setups.
For control, the X100 offers both onboard buttons and Bluetooth connectivity. You can adjust colour temperature and brightness directly on the unit, or connect via the ZY Vega app to manage settings remotely. The app enables control of both the X100 and Zhiyun’s G60, and it supports individual adjustments as well as grouping multiple lights for synchronized control.
The Molus X100 includes a Music Mode that triggers lighting effects in response to sound. You can use this to simulate lightning, gunshot flashes, or to create timed changes that respond to music cues. This feature gives filmmakers and streamers practical ways to create dynamic atmosphere without extra equipment.
Zhiyun developed the DynaVort Cooling System for the Molus series to maintain stable performance in a small form factor. The system uses gyroscope modelling heat sinks together with an FOC fan. In addition, a fluid-dynamics and attitude-control algorithm helps direct airflow efficiently. As a result, the light runs cooler and delivers smooth, flicker-free illumination during extended use.
The X100 uses Zhiyun’s ZY mount, which makes it simple to attach Zhiyun light modifiers. In addition, the package includes a Bowens mount adapter (B) so you can fit many common third‑party modifiers you may already own. These mounting options expand how you shape and control the light output for different scenes.

Question: How can I power the Molus X100 when shooting on location?
Answer: You can use the included X100 Grip battery for mobile shoots, plug in the supplied 120W AC/DC adapter for mains power, or use 100W PD fast charging when a compatible PD source is available. These options let you adapt power to studio, location or run-and-gun workflows.
Question: Can I control multiple lights at once?
Answer: Yes. The Molus X100 connects to the ZY Vega app via Bluetooth. The app supports control of individual lights and grouping multiple units, letting you synchronise brightness and colour temperature across a set of lights.
Question: Will the light overheat during long takes?
Answer: Zhiyun’s DynaVort Cooling System combines gyroscope modelling heat sinks, an FOC fan and a fluid-dynamics/attitude-control algorithm to manage airflow and heat. As a result, the X100 maintains stable, flicker-free illumination during extended use.
Question: What mounting and modifier options are available?
Answer: The X100 uses the ZY mount for Zhiyun modifiers and includes a Bowens adapter (B) so you can also attach many standard third‑party light modifiers to shape the beam as needed.
