At Cine Gear 2024, Godox was showing its new ML100Bi, which is being touted as a lightweight, portable and in-expensive lighting fixture. Ever since Zhiyun released a light in this type of form factor, we have seen quite a few companies coming up with similar solutions.

The ML100Bi weighs 487g / 1.07 lb and it has physical dimensions of 122mm x 110mm x 46mm. The power draw is 120W.

Now, what you need to keep in mind is that the standard reflector produces a very tight 15 degree beam angle. If you want something wider then Godox sells an optional ML36, 36 degree beam angle reflector.
