Godox KNOWLED Air Tube Light AT200Bi Review
We are currently testing the Godox AT200Bi light system. This is a “tube” style inflatable 200W bi color light that is very interesting. A review should be done in a few weeks.
Godox KNOWLED Air Tube Light AT200Bi sells for around $800.

Hollyland Lark M2S Review
About a year ago we reviewed the Lark M2 and Hollyland Lark Max. We are now testing the new Lark M2S which has a very different design with 24bit and a small mic in the front with a small “clamp” type in the back.
The Hollyland Lark M2S sells for around $150.

Canon PowerShot V1
Canon recently introduced a new 1.4-inch sensor compact camera (a little bigger than micro 4/3) with 22MP, 4K 60p (1.4x crop) recording, 16-50mm (equivalent in 35mm), tilt screen, 3 stop ND with built-in image stabilization and a weight of only 380g.
The price of the camera should be around $900 but it is only available in specific Asian markets (Japan etc.).

Sirui Vision Pro 1 Lens Line
Sirui has recently unveiled its latest Cine lens line, the Vision Pro 1 (VP-1). This full-frame cinema series is designed to cater to filmmakers and content creators. The VP-1 series includes three focal lengths—24mm, 35mm, and 50mm—with additional options of 15mm and 75mm expected later this year. These lenses feature a fast T1.4 aperture, enabling excellent performance in low-light conditions and achieving a shallow depth of field.
The VP-1 series also boasts user-interchangeable mounts, allowing compatibility with Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, and Leica L systems, making them highly versatile for various camera setups. The Vision Pro 1 lenses are compact and lightweight, weighing approximately 590g each, with a uniform design that simplifies lens swaps
Sirui has priced the lenses competitively, with individual units starting at $549 and a complete set available for $1,900.

Anton/Bauer EDEN Power Station
Back in IBC 2024, we had a chance to look at the Anton/Bauer EDEN professional battery pack. At the time that unit was still a prototype but it was recently officially introduced.
This unit has a 2.5kWh Capacity and output, is also silent, and has an IP65 rating. It includes dual AC Outputs (US 2 X 110VAC or UK/EU 2 X 230VAC) as well as 4 USB-C ports (2X 100W and 2x 10W) as well as a screen.
The Eden sells for around $3500.

Godox KNOWLED P600R Pro and P1200R Pro Panels
Godox announced pro versions of their P600R and P1200R RGB lights announced last year. The pro versions of these high-power panels are quieter and have a IP65 rating so they should be able to work even in the rain.
The P600R Pro sells for $2350 while the P1200R Pro sells for $5300.

Aputure Storm X52
Aputure recently announced that it is working on its most powerful and ambitious light ever – the Storm X52 – a 5200W behemoth with a color range of 2500-10K and an unbelievable output of 48,000 Lux (with a 35° reflector) at 5 meters away!
This unit is big and heavy with the head weighing in at 29kg(64lb) and the controller adding another 13kg(28lb).
No pricing or availability has been announced at this time but we expect to get a closer look at NAB 2025.
Nanlux Evoke 5000
Nanlite already has their answer to the X52 with the Evoke 5000. This 5000W bi-color light can be ordered for close to $12K and we expect it to find its way to many rental houses across the world.

Bun-G-Ring
An interesting small product called Bun-G Ring brings a unique capability to mount BGR + 4×5.65 filters using a special adapter with bungee cords.
The idea seems interesting but for around $550 for a kit, it sounds a little steep to us.

Media Division Magic Sauce
The Media Division is one of our favorite cinematic/technical YouTube channels and we have covered their videos many times here on LensVid Talk. In this recent project, they look at what makes footage look “cinematic” and for this they go back to many previous projects they have done over the years. From our perspective though this question becomes even more interesting when you compare film to high-end commercials which are often made at very high budgets with high production values (especially given how short they are).
Regardless, if you are interested in filmmaking and filmmaking gear/history – you don’t want to miss this video.
