ZHIYUN

Me gustaron mucho. He visto reseñas y son tal cual lo especifican. Dura alrededor de 30 min cuando le das al máximo. Es silencioso y tiene muy buena potencia. Me sirve para diversas cosas (no solo fotografía o video).

Es lo suficientemente brillante como para casi todo lo que puedas hacer dentro de casa o estudio. Me gustó mucho. Queda en mi cámara fijo.

Great pricing on a 25 watt light. Not sure if it will hold up as it’s a very light weight plastic, but should be okay as long I don’t drop it.

I have quite a few of these flat panel LED lights for video, and a couple that are rechargeable like this particular one is. Comparing this LED light from Zhiyun to the others that I have, I have come away very impressed. There are certain small oversights in the overall design of this particular light, but I'm absolutely willing to overlook them, because the light output is fantastic. I find the color temperature very clean, and in the bright white setting, I personally don't notice any undesirable magenta, or cyan casting. It's also very powerful, which is quite surprising. I think you could get away with using this as a key light in many situations, and if you're on a tight budget, and can only afford this one light, it is versatile enough to provide you a solution to lots of lighting needs. Another very impressive aspect to this particular light, is the silicone diffuser. It actually did a very nice job of diffusing the light, and it provides a lovely softness that works really well on video. So, from a performance basis, I can say that I'm quite impressed. There is no digital display, which quite frankly I like, because it prioritizes the battery for the light itself. That being said, I found the battery can last a decent while, and give you a good amount of performance, if you keep the output at 50% or less, which I found to be plenty bright for many scenarios. It charges via USB C, and has a 1/4 20 mount for any tripod. It would have been nice to have had a cold shoe or two on this, but there are none. The knobs to control the intensity, and color temperature are large, and easy to operate nice and smoothly. I think it's best suited for filming on location, as an extra light, or something that will satisfy your need for portability. All in all, the light output is what impressed me the most, and gives me enough confidence to feel safe recommending it. It also deserves mentioning, that the fan is quite loud when it kicks on, but when I maintain the intensity at or below 40%, it never came on. If you crank up the intensity, expect the fan to come on, and expected to make a bit of a racket. Still, I think it's a great light that I would recommend.

High quality video light that can be adjusted to any brightness you need for your Photoshoot or video project. a must have, Five Stars!

Holy cow this little guy is bright. Simple analog controls, one knob to turn it on and adjust the brightness, one to change then temp. Couldn’t be easier. 4 tiny lights to indicate battery power.
It’s hefty. It feels like a quality piece of equipment.
I recommend.

Let's start with the cons:
1. No digital display to show temperature or power levels. It's not a must, but it would certainly make my life a lot easier if it had it, considering the price.
2. Didn't come with a cold shoe mount...come on guys...it's a video light...why do you not provide this accessory? Other cheaper lights come with a cold shoe mount...
3. The fan is loud...I mainly record videos, and when the fan kicks on, BOY does it kick on! Luckily, this is only when it's been on 75-100% brightness for over 5 minutes or so. I had left it on 50% for about 5 minutes and it never got warm enough to trigger the fan to start.
4. The price...it's not cheap...
Now let's talk about what I loved!
1. The brightness. Oh dear, it's super bright for a 25w light. I was totally blown away by just how much light it had put out! Even in my picture, it was only at 50% and it was able to light up my desktop subject clearly.
2. The portability - of course it's a video light, so it's portable, but this one just feels good to carry around.
3. The aesthetics - I do enjoy the fan grill and bold lettering design on the back, and the knobs turn fairly easily, although I wished that they were a little taller.
4. The diffusion - I don't know if it's intentional, but the front diffuser domes outwards a little but, which I believe helps create even more diffusion than if it was flat. Either way, this light has beautiful diffusion to it, and I'm totally here for it.

After using Aperture lighting for many years, I've been impressed with the designs coming from Zhiyun. I've used their 60W and 200W lights for months now and enjoyed them, this one is no different. For its size, the light is bright and with the included diffuser can be used as a main light for live streams. If you're looking for a light with this sort of form factor it should serve you well.

I own a lot of portable lights and this one has the power that other ones lack. It has twice the output of others. It is very easy to use with just two dials, one for output and the other for color temp. Made of plastic but in a good way not the cheap stuff and the molding is very nice. It has a nice quality feel to it and a great build. I love the light output the CM25 produces. I always felt that I needed more with other lights that I have. This will be my new go-to light. I highly recommend the ZHIYUN CM25 for those that want a higher powered portable light.
