The GVM ZipTile 2200B is an interesting light. It consists of a 3×1 tile; you can add additional tiles with a zipper design. A 1×1 and 2×1 are also available.
The ZipTile is not flexible. The tile is stiff. This is a good feature as it will protect the electronics much better. I’ve had flexible panels short out due to this issue, and it’s not fixable.
Each Panel is a bi-color 200-watt mat with a CCT range of 2700 to 6800 Kelvin. The mat is also IP65 waterproof.
The controller has one V-Mount slot. Each Zip Tile requires its own controller, so if you add several together, you won’t have the convenience of using a single controller to change settings. If you want to do this, GVM has an app that will allow you to group the Zip Tile, and then you can make universal settings for the group.
GVM offers a three-panel kit as well as a single matt. The kits include a soft box and grid that attaces with Hook and Loop.
