Godox MG6K First Look

At NAB 2025 in Las Vegas, Godox was showing the yet-to-be-announced MG6K.

According to Godox, the output matches a 6kW HMI. The lighthead weighs only 25kg / 55lb (without yoke) and the power supply controller weighs around 9kg / 20lb. The MG6K offers even more control: a wider CCT range, G/M adjustment, and built-in CRMX.

The light can be adjusted from 2800K up to 10,000K, and there is full +/- G/M adjustment.

The claimed output is 41,000 Lux @ 5600K, 5m (with MGR30 reflector).

41,000 Lux @ 5600K, 5m (with MGR30 reflector)
Lighthead ≈ 28kg / 61lb (with yoke); Controller ≈ 12kg / 26lb. Single-person setup for faster on-set workflow
CCT up to 10,000K with adjustable Green/Magenta shift
G Mount with full optical accessory ecosystem (MGR15°/30° Reflector, BeamLight MAX90/60, Motorized Three-Light Bracket, Lantern Softbox…)
Multiple control options, including built-in CRMX

The light utilizes the Godox proprietary G mount, so it is compatible with a wide array of lighting modifiers, including the BeamLight Max60 and Max90.

Pricing & Availability

The Godox MG6K should be available within the next month or so, and the estimated price is around $10,000-$11,000 USD.
