Ulanzi has launched its clever new V-Mount COB Light series, consisting of three advanced light models built for pro users.
Ulanzi, the highly prolific maker of extremely practical, robust and remarkably affordable photo and video shooting accessories has done it again with its highly functional new COB light mounts.
The three new models being released by the brand are the V-Mount VL-120Bi, V-Mount 120C, and V-Mount 200Bi and all three deliver great value for both on-set and outdoor lighting needs. Let’s take a closer look.
Ulanzi’s new lights are designed to deliver strong illuminating power both in the studio and in the field. All three are built to operate with full wattage and extended use with their respective V-mount battery units.
The V-Mount battery design in the three COB lights also eliminates the need for external power adapters while also creating a sleeker, more transport-friendly aesthetic.
In the case of the V-Mount 120Bi and 200Bi you can take advantage of dual color temperatures. With the 120C model on the other hand, Ulanzi has included an RGB mode with a color rendering index of over 95 for precise colors that are also brilliant.
All three V Model COB lights are also lightweight, easy to carry, and also easy to store away. This flexibility makes them especially useful for photographers, content creators and filmmakers who need professional equipment that’s light enough for dynamic field use.
Another very useful feature for all three lights is their aviation-style plug adapter for reliable electrical connectivity regardless of where they’re plugged in.
Each one of these three units also comes with an L bracket and a bead protection cover. They can be controlled through their mobile app and these characteristics along with several others make them easy to set up right out of the box.
Another thing that all three COB lights offer is several different special effects modes. With the most affordable model, the V-Mount VL-120Bi, there are six modes to choose from.
The same applies to the ultra-bright V-Mount 200Bi. On the other hand, the RBG-enabled V-Mount 120C lets you pick from among 20 different special effects modes.
For controlling the functions of the three new lights, Ulanzi has also put effort into making things lighter and simpler.
Instead of having to bring along a controller unit for these lights, users can simply download the Ulanzi Connect app. This lets you control the light output, color options, special effects modes and brightness through your smartphone up to a distance of 30 meters (99 feet).
Here’s a breakdown of what each one of the three lights in the Ulanzi COB light series offers and at what price:
