• Q: What's the positioning of the CINEPEER C100?

Building on years of expertise in motor control and stabilization algorithms, combined with newly developed electronic back-pressure cooling technology, ZHIYUN has successfully delivered five times the lighting performance within a traditional stick light form factor.

The C100 takes the stick light — already a near-perfect form — and pushes it to its full potential. With full-color output at high power and professional light-shaping accessories, it handles virtually any scene. Its refined design, craftsmanship, and extreme performance speak directly to photographers who demand the very best from their lighting tools.

• Q: Does the C100 have RGB capabilities?

Yes. The CINEPEER C100 features RGBWW 5-in-1 color mixing technology with over 36,000 colors to choose from. Peak output hits 100W, delivering richer colors and brighter light that adapts precisely to any complex lighting environment.

• Q: How's the color performance? Is the color brightness enough?

Most traditional RGB stick lights are essentially low-power accent lights — fine for background mood lighting, but not much else. The CINEPEER C100 is different. With a 0–100W brightness range and vivid, saturated colors, it delivers color output that rivals a key light — easily handling professional-grade background fill for large scenes.

CRI ≥95, TLCI ≥98

Color temperature range: 2700K–6500K

• Q: How does the cooling system perform on the C100?

ZHIYUN's proprietary electronic back-pressure cooling system is custom-tuned for the C100, featuring a purpose-built heatsink and intelligent control algorithms that adjust fan speed in real time based on operating conditions. The result is a major leap in heat dissipation efficiency. The C100 is equipped with 9 cooling fans and a Type-II heatsink structure.

• Q: How bright is the C100?

The C100 hits a peak power of 100W, delivering 3,870 Lux at 1 meter. For RGB output, it delivers:

Red: 815 Lux

Green: 1,750 Lux

Blue: 564 Lux

• Q: Is the C100 easy to pack and carry?

True to ZHIYUN's philosophy of lightweight, high-power design, the CINEPEER C100 is built to let photographers pack 100W of full-color lighting into their backpack — so you can enjoy professional-grade light anytime, anywhere.

• Q: Can the C100 be controlled via Bluetooth from a phone?

Yes. The C100 has a built-in control module that supports Bluetooth Mesh networking. It connects to the ZY Vega App for remote control — putting a full palette of color right at your fingertips.

• Q: How's the battery life, and what charging options are available?

The C100 packs six 4,500mAh batteries, delivering up to 54 minutes of runtime. It supports three power sources — built-in battery, DC, and PD — and allows full-power operation while charging via PD or DC. Always ready when you are.

• Q: Can multiple C100 lights work together?

Yes. With ZHIYUN's flexible multi-light control accessories — including a 4-light mounting frame, adapters, 1-to-4 power splitter, barn doors, and softbox — you can expand the C100 into a professional 400W-equivalent panel light for theater or large-scene production. It runs on the adapter or its built-in batteries, so you can even take that setup outdoors for professional shoots on the move.
