Zhiyun Molus G300 Overview

Designed to match the power of studio lights at a quarter of their size, the MOLUS G300 Bi-Color LED Monolight from Zhiyun delivers professional results in an elegant, lightweight body. Featuring the overclocked MAX Extreme mode that increases the light's peak output to 500W, the light combines amplified power, bi-color capability, and practical control in a compact form factor for maximum on-set versatility.
Light Your Way
A great light for still photography and video applications alike, the G300 produces even illumination for image-makers looking for light with power and portability. The light is well-suited for studios, live streaming rooms, and other scenarios.
High Output
Designed with chip-on-board (COB) LED technology, the G300 is suitable for use in interior, exterior, and mixed lighting conditions. It offers a variable color temperature of 2700 to 6500K and dims from 100 to 0%. At 5500K, this bright LED light delivers 15,500 lux at 3.3', rising to 61,000 lux at 3.3' with the included reflector. Users will appreciate advanced proficiency in color reproduction with impressive ratings of CRI 95, TLCI 97, CQS 94, TM-30 Rf 94, and TM-30 Rg 101.
Innovative Design and Control
With no complications, adjustments are quickly and easily made onboard or from a distance via the app. Detachable from the light body, the G300's controller is equipped with two interactive buttons and a display screen for simple and quick management of the light's settings. For remote operation, the ZY Vega app lets you control dimming and switch presets using your smartphone. Five built-in presets for easy one-press color temperature and brightness adjustment.
MAX Extreme Mode
The MAX Extreme mode enables you to increase the light fixture's output when you need extra power to brighten your scenes. The G300 boasts a peak output of up to 300W under normal usage, but with this one-press mode, it delivers a peak output of up to 500W. At 4300K, the MAX Extreme mode brightness is 20,300 lux at 3.3', escalating to 81,100 lux at 3.3' with the included reflector.
One Light, Three Modes
The light features Normal, Live, and Music modes, which can be used to enhance and even transform your shot. The G300 also boasts 14 built-in effects for creative, scene-specific lighting.
Cooling and Convenience
The sleek design houses a COB light source with a meticulous cooling system. The G200 employs its DynaVort Cooling System, which consists of a heat sink and an FOC fan to prevent overheating. Although the G300 is small, the unit offers full Bowens-mount versatility for compatibility with a wide variety of separately available modifiers. The light's integrated arm is 180° adjustable for easy positioning. Besides that, an umbrella slot also makes the fixture flexible and convenient to use.

Zhiyun Molus G300 Reviews

To low quality

By Juan Pablo
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-10-28

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. For what this light costs, I personally do not recommend it. I used it in real productions, both in the studio and outdoors, and although I was initially very impressed by how much output ZHIYUN managed to fit into such a small body, after several weeks of use too many problems started to appear. 1. No V-Mount option. For a light whose main appeal is being compact and easy to transport, being completely dependent on AC power limits its usefulness outside the studio. There is not even an official V-Mount solution that would allow you to power it with two high-discharge batteries. 2. The tilt/locking system does not feel robust enough. My unit ended up with a damaged locking mechanism after using one of the 85D softboxes that ZHIYUN themselves sent me and confirmed was compatible with the G300. The problem is pretty obvious in real-world use: a large modifier creates a lot of weight and, more importantly, a lot of leverage on an extremely compact locking mechanism. After my experience, I personally would not trust this system with large or heavy modifiers. 3. The overall construction prioritizes size too much. The G300 is incredibly small, but after using it professionally, I feel that too many compromises were made just to achieve that size. I would rather have a slightly larger and heavier light if that means getting a more robust mechanical system. 4. The controller and cabling reduce some of the advantage of having such a small light head. Yes, the head is compact, but you still depend on an external controller, and the cable between the controller and the light is too short for many setups. On several occasions, I ended up with the controller hanging from the stand simply because there was no other practical place to put it. 5. The power percentage shown on the display does not necessarily correspond to the actual output in a linear way. When changing power levels, the light output I observed did not always increase or decrease proportionally to the percentage shown on the display. If you need precise consistency between output levels, this is something I would recommend measuring. 6. I have serious doubts about how ZHIYUN markets the output of this light. The metal reflector produces a very intense central output, but that does not necessarily mean that all of that output translates the same way once you start using large modifiers. In my testing, I could see visible beams and a halo around the illuminated area with certain modifiers, apparently related to the way the reflector and the area surrounding the LED concentrate and redirect the light. Because of that, I would not judge this light only by the advertised lux figures measured with the standard reflector. What really matters is how the light performs with the modifier you are actually going to use. And finally, my experience with ZHIYUN customer service was terrible. I reported the issue after the unit was damaged while using a modifier supplied by them. They initially offered a repair, then offered a full replacement, and later withdrew the replacement offer after a disagreement regarding the collaboration. After this entire experience, I personally would not buy this light again, and I would not recommend it for professional use. The idea behind the G300 is excellent: a lot of light in an extremely small body. The problem is that, in my experience, too much emphasis was placed on making it small and not enough on the robustness and functionality required for professional use.

The Best Travel-Ready Workhorse Light I’ve Ever Owned

By Nathan C.
Rated 5 out of 5

I’ve been using this light for over a year now, and it has quickly become my go-to light for just about every shoot. As a traveling filmmaker working on documentary projects all over the world, I need gear that’s both powerful and portable and this light nails both. It’s hard to overstate how much this thing has elevated my work. The G300 is basically a miniature sun in your kit. I’ve used it to transform entire setups, creating beautiful, believable sunlight pouring through windows for B-roll, or giving my key light the extra punch it needs to overpower the real sun on location. It’s fast, reliable, and has instantly “plussed up” every scene I’ve shot with it. What’s even more impressive is how compact and travel-friendly it is. The separated power module makes packing easy, and the lightweight head fits perfectly into a carry-on or checked bag without stress. I’ve mounted it on small, collapsible stands and had zero issues. The bi-color flexibility is another huge win, letting me adapt to any lighting environment quickly. I’ve worked with lights that cost five to six times more than this one, and honestly, none have matched the balance of power, portability, and practicality the G300 delivers. It’s hands down the best light I’ve ever owned, and I wouldn’t go on a shoot without it.

Is there a way to run this light via a V mount bat

Is there a way to run this light via a V mount battery?
Asked by: Tom
The Zhiyun MOLUS G300 Bi-Color LED Monolight is a 300-watt light that connects to a wall socket via a double prong. A V-mount battery would not be sufficient for a power outage; however, the Zhyiun MOLUS can be powered by a small power station such as the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus Portable Power Station.

How long can you run this light at 500W Max mode? Will it overheat after a long period of time?
Asked by: Charles
The Zhiyun MOLUS G300 Bi-Color LED Monolight will automatically shut off MAX mode when it reaches 30° C. When the MAX mode is used at temperatures exceeding 30° C, the MOLUS G300 will automatically disable the MAX mode and return to the CCT mode once the temperature has risen to a certain level. Therefore, if you have power and stay under a 30°C operating temperature, you should be able to run for an extended time. Though, I do not think its intended purpose is for extended use at 500W.
