Zhiyun MOLUS X100 (100W pocket COB)
The MOLUS X100 is a beginner-tier 100W bi-color COB light (2700-6500K) with a Bowens mount adapter and app control, an accessible entry point in this batch. Its pocketable form and Bowens compatibility suit run-and-gun creators who want modifier support in a small package. At 100W it's not a large-room key light; bigger spaces need more output.
