Happy with this purchase probably more than any other light purchased for work. I know many like the idea of this light for rigging but I find so much use for this one on set. The 1x1 has been a great light but to me this replaces it. Not only because of its ability to be bi-color as well but hue feature as well as chimera make it more diverse than a 1x1. If using it be aware of the fan control feature. Fan can sound loud when you first turn it on but a simple adjustment can silence it.

This is a review of the Colbor CL100XM. I'm fairly new to the film production world, but I've been around a few blocks with technology and hardware. One thing that strikes me is the cost of equipment. But, AFAIK, the camera can't discern between lights used to light a space. And the CL100XM definitely lights the space! I used the CL100XM on a shoot a few days ago, and got it out today to refresh for writing a review. It comes in a very well-padded carrying case which makes for convenient packing and also for storing. It also includes a well-designed Bowens mount, which is super easy to put on and take off, snugly fits the body of the light and opens all kinds of options. This thing is B R I G H T! I turned it on in my office and at 1% the room was well lit; at 100% it was like high-noon! Levels and effects are easily configured with buttons and toggle dials on the back of the camera, or via the Colbor app. It's also super light weight, and comes with a standard baby mount for putting on a stand. In my experience, yes, the CL100XM generates a little heat, but really not that much, especially compared to other lights that generate the same illumination. The construction feels solid. I like the modular design, too, which provides a series of connecting channels on body of the unit that allow multiple devices to be joined together. It's compact, versatile and easy to use. It ships with a rubber lens cover for even more protection inside the padded case. For the price, I'm very satisfied. This is a valuable asset, and I'll be looking for other Colbor products to flesh out my light kit.

This is the ultimate light. A light that literally will do anything you could possibly want, need or ask of a professional light. The only concerns I had before I got my hands on this S30-C was will this be too heavy? and Is this going to be bright enough?. But I am very pleased that it isn't as heavy as I imagined. Putting the power supply on the back of the light does make it heavier but that is optional if you get the accessory that allows you to attach to a c-stand. Light output was very impressive and if I need more I will purchase the Intensifier Panel to get 50% more output. I recommend buying the barn doors since the light really goes everywhere.

These lights are powerful. Not just in brightness but in features. Being able to plug into an outlet without much concern for power, adjust to precisely any color (hue/sat) or color temp, load in animations for effects and style, our list keeps growing. We bought these as an alternative to Diva for a soft, quick to setup and adjust run and gun light and they have proven to be that and more. Since owning them they have little downtime from being on set. Sure they are a hefty investment but it all the other hassles they are saving us from it is turning out to be well worth it. We purchased 2 S30s just because we travel a lot and size was a factor. The only things worth mentioning are that They are pretty heavy and have to use an external ballast for power (unless running batteries) and the mounting bracket doesn't quickly come off which add a considerable amount to the overall size. We will probably need to remove the bracket once we need to pack them in a condensed situation but even still this is nothing to dwindle the 5 star rating.

Excellent service and timely delivery.

I purchased the SkyPanel S30-C primarily because the S60-C seemed too large to travel with, as all our shoots are on location. I'm very happy with this purchase. The features are endless. I love the plethora of accessory options and already have the DOP Choice 40 degree Snapgrid, and intensifier panel, which I use some combination there of even with the standard (included) diffusion panel for each shoot. Primarily interviews indoors and outdoors thus far and have been very pleased with the results each time. If just using the light out of the box the wide angle soft source fills much of an entire room and spills light almost in a 180 degree angle, so the grid was an immediate no-brainer for me to acquire. I was able to save parts of the foam packaging from Arri and modified it (trimmed it) and now put the Skypanel inside a Pelican 1610 case. I ditched the included yoke mount and got the center yoke mount with makes traveling and placing in the Pelican case much easier because it comes on and off without tools, which is a space saver. The center yoke mount does require a 1-1/8 spigot on your stand. I hope to purchase more of these lights when budgets allow.

The expensive SkyPanel S30-C is the best investment in the lighting kit you could choose!
