Colbor has been working hard to strike a balance of performance and value as they make inroads into the video lighting market. Their latest, the W100, looks awfully familiar, but has one secret weapon that can't be beat: price. But at what cost did they reach that cost? Let's find out!

I tried a different Power Handle after watching your review (ZGCINE H90, I suppose most of these power handles are more or less the same OEM product) with the W100, and CL100X. It lasted for roughly 46 and 38 minutes in 100% light output, then it stopped. I could then turn on again and it lasted for a minutes or two. I reduced the power to 25%, then it lasted another 6 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. However, using a 99Wh v-mount battery, D Tap to DC cable, it lasted over 75 minutes for both lights. Their light output are almost identical by a Sekonic L-858D, W100 is 0.1 stop brighter in 1 meter. The design of these latest Power Handle are different from most v-mount batteries. They can output 20V 5A from the USB C port. D tap to DC cable worked on both types of batteries. I found the Power Handle on the heavy side after holding for more than 10 minutes. For handholding the W100, I prefer using a cheap & light selfie stick, attached a v mount battery by a 1.5m D tap to DC cable. The v mount battery can be clipped onto a belt or clamped onto a light stand.

Nice. I'd love to see test with a model in the evening sun as backlight and this lighting subject 👌🏻 see if it's capable to replace some of my flash gear

Thanks Wes for the review. Would you happen to know if the mini bowens mount accessories from Zhiyun are compatible with the W100 and vice versa?

@WesPerry Ай бұрын

I did mention in this video, unfortunately they’re a totally different mount.

@@WesPerry Sorry I missed that part. Thanks for the reply and your review!

i may be incorect, could Colbor use mini Bowens mount - the same as nanlite fm mount ?

@WesPerry Ай бұрын

I would love more adoption of the "Godox Mount" (as seen on the AD300 Pro) myself. But I'm a flash guy, so that's my bias 😏

@victorlolo2008 Ай бұрын

"Mini bowen mount" is just a marketing terms , almost every small cob light use their own mount.

@johnmorrison7171 Ай бұрын

Do they make a bowens adapter that fits this mount?

@colborlight 22 күн бұрын

Hey John, we will launch BOWEN mount adapter ring soon! Stay tuned to the news post on our social media！

thanks for not sounding super paid for like the others. you actually criticise it on some things! But price and size thats a pretty crazy value propostion

@WesPerry Ай бұрын

Unfortunately my methodology often results in very short business relationships with brands 😂 But thankfully Colbor seems to appreciate my candor … for now lol

@burgunbeerd Ай бұрын

@@WesPerry well so they know, other videos I'd seen on it made me feel like it wasn't good enough to actually talk about so they only mention talking points and how great the propriety mount is. Which makes me not want to buy. But having it actually picked apart and shown what it can and can't do means, I'll probably actually get it

@akhen666 Ай бұрын

Can you power it with a usb pd power bank?

@WesPerry Ай бұрын

As long as it has lots of power, yes!

@LaurenceLee Ай бұрын

Man that 20 minute battery life is extremely disappointing. Almost makes the handle pointless

@WesPerry Ай бұрын

At just slightly lower output levels the battery life is Dramatically better. I started creating a graph of it, but I ran out of time before launch day, because the lower levels were in the order of several hours.
