The Best Reception Light for Wedding Videographers | Godox ML100Bi Review
💡 Godox ML100Bi: https://amzn.to/4erhe2U
We get asked all the time in our facebook group about lighting sets up. Which light is best? That’s a loaded question as there really isn’t a perfect light for all people in all situations.
Recently, I took the Godox ML100Bi to a wedding to test it…

Thank John for this INFORMATIVE video. I love it when you state that you bought this light with your own money.
@godox Please include the bowens godox mount adapter !!!!!!!!
So I got the basic kit. Do you know where I can get the bowen to godox mount adapter? Can’t find anything on Amazon
I would like to see footage and or pictures of how it actually performs in a poorly lit reception.
hmmmm but no variable flood or spot is a tough sell though, cause some receptions spaces have limitations.
do they have this in black?
I use the Nanlite forza 60 COB with the Fresnel with barn doors to focus the light. Works! I get new gear is coming out all the time, but this setup is pretty small and gets the job done. I use two on the speaker. Sometimes, I may add a warm panel light behind the speaker for effect. All run off NP sony batteries. So what am I gaining here with this light? I am all ears?
looking forward to this, once I sell my 60x …
How long does it work with the mount? 30 minutes? 60 minutes? At maybe 50% brightness and 100 %?. I have the ml 60 bis and love them. For the barn doors maybe someone can 3d print them? If it don’t gets hot
What’s the battery life look like on this (running at 100% consistently to make this simple)?
I'm using mostly 55w lights for these events, and found that I'm generally hitting 60-70% power, but that is because they are mini-fresnel units (CAME-TV Boltzen Q55II). The benefit is in the longer run time and the capability to run on cheap NPF batteries in a pinch. You didn't mention that not all USB battery packs are capable of supplying the 100w power delivery, so it's V-Mount, or the newer/beefier USB-C PD power packs. Thankfully, both have really dropped in price. I've also got the SmallRig RC60b, but since it lacks a remote, I don't use it for weddings (such a bad oversight on their part). We're lucky to have so many affordable options nowadays, with more released almost every few months.
What kind of run time are you getting with the v mount?
I was just looking into smaller lights like the Colbor 100W lights, but they have the same issue with no barn doors. The Aputures are just too bulky.
Yeah, I’ve had my eye on this one. I like the new setup Nick. 🤌🏼
