Neewer Q3 review
My 2024 Neewer Q3 review (latest version)
Hello and welcome to my Neewer Q3 review, this review is based on the updated version of the Q3 strobe. The Q3 flash is packed with incredible features like the 200 watt output in a small highly portable form factor with over 500 full power flashes from a single charge, HSS up to 1/8000th of a second and more, crazily then it costs less than $200.-, how is that even possible?
I have been using the Neewer Q3 now for several months and it has been faultless on every shoot for me and I am loving it more and more with every day.
I frequently paired it with my Neewer Q4 flash and my Neewer Z2 strobe, in fact I have used them all together on a good few occasions now with the Neewer QPro wireless trigger to control them and it has worked beautifully.
Neewer Q3 Price.
Before I get into the tech specs let’s talk about the price first…. Now being able to buy this unit for under $200.- is incredible but the completely nuts part is Neewer have given me a 21% off discount code HAYES21 that gives you another 21% off all their products worldwide so you can buy the Q3 for roughly around $165.- the last time I checked.
The Neewer Q3 comes in two different kits right now…
You can get it with the Q3, the light stand, the charger and the battery or you can also buy it with a small diffuser in the kit for roughly about $20.- more.
For those prices the Q3 is a real steal and there is no reason it shouldn’t be in your camera bag.
I have my Neewer Q3 review video below or read on also if you want to know more.
Neewer Q3 Specifications.
- 200-watt Strobe.
- Refresh time of 0.01-1.8 seconds this varies depending on the output power of the Q3. Once you drop the output power down to 1/16th power it recycles incredibly then. Using a lower power setting makes the Q3’s recycling time feel like its nearly instant.
- 500 full power flashes from a full charge. The battery will last a lot longer on lower output setting then.
- Modeling light built-in although this is a very low power light.
- High-speed sync at up to 1/8,000th of a second.
- Works with the Neewer wireless Q system.
- 5600k +-200k colour temperature.
- TTL compatible with Nikon i TTL, Canon E TTL and Sony TTL automatic flash systems.
- Full support for flash exposure compensation.
- Manual Output user selected power, First/second curtain synchronization, Supports S1, S2 mode.
Neewer Q3 and why I love it.
The Q3 has a guide number of 58 and it can deliver up to 500 full power flashes per charge and this is incredible as the Q3 will keep going all day for you then especially on lower ouptut settings where the flash won’t be using as much power so the battery lasts even longer then.
I find myself using it a lot on 1/2 and 1/4 power and the battery just keeps on going then…
You can of course buy spare batteries for the Q3 on the Neewer website at a reasonable price if you need extra batteries.
It can go up to 1/8000th of a second in HSS mode, this is fantastic when you are shooting in bright daylight as it’s really going to help you battle direct sunlight and remove that harsh overhead lighting.
The Q3 has a recycling time of between 0.01-1.8 seconds depending on the output power of course. When you are shooting at around 1/16th power or 1/32nd power the recycling time is very fast as you can see in my video above and when you drop the output power even lower it’s even faster.
Once we go to 1/8th power it takes slightly longer to recharge and at 1/4 power it’s still recycles in a very respectable time, at 1/2 power it’s in and around the 1 second mark and at full power it takes around 1.8 seconds to recycle. Again I show that in more detail in the video above which is divided into chapters so you can find the inforamtion you want quickly.
As you can see it has 8 power levels varying from 1/128th power all the way up to full power.
The Q3 can be very easily controlled by the Neewer Q Pro wireless trigger so you can also pair it with the Q4 or Z2 flashes if you want. The Q3 has 32 channels and 5 groups so setting up multi strobe shoots is no issue at all and you can easily assign them to different output powers for the exact look you want.
If you purchase the Q3 via my affliate links or with my discount code I may make a slight commission but it doesn’t cost you anything in fact you can save money with my coupon code 🙂 So thanks for supporting my channel.
Neewer Q3 vs Godox AD200 Pro
Now, I know a lot of people will be comparing this to the Godox AD 200 Pro as let’s face it they are practically the same unit. The Neewer Q3 is a good bit cheaper at $165.- while the Godox AD 200 Pro is currently retailing for around $299.- on Amazon so for nearly half the price the Q3 is a complete steal.
The Godox ad200 Pro also has a recylcing time of 1.8 seconds like the Q3 but in saying that the Godox also has a fresnel lens which ups the GN number to 52 but if you use diffusers like I do then that renders that useless.
So all in all the Neewer Q3 is a lot cheaper and offers much the same features apart from bare bulb mode of course.
Size
But more importantly, the feature I love about this flash is its size and how it can easily slide into your pocket (ok you might need big pockets) or into the top of your camera bag or a side pocket of the bag, which all means there is no reason not to ahve it with you at all times then.
It’s also very light and when you think of the power this unit can deliver there are very few flashes around that can compete with output power for its ultra small footprint.
Review Conclusion
The Neewer Q3 is very bright, ultra portable and incredibly value for money, so, for me and my photography, it’s a massive yes for this amazing little strobe. The Q3 is an incredible tool to have in my camera bag and I know I keep saying this about Neewer products but at twice the price this strobe would still be a good buy.
See you out there,
Kieran.

Neewer MS150C Review
My in depth Neewer MS150C Review
Hello and welcome to my Neewer Ms150C video light review where I run you through how this light has worked for me, its specs and a few things you might not know about this ultra portable RGB video light from Neewer.
Including did you know you can powered it from a V-mount battery or NPF batteries? It’s an RGB light and it can be fully controlled via the Neewer App to name just a few of it’s perks so come on lets get into this Neewer MS150c review and I will talk you through my experiences with it.
MS150C Price and Discount Code.
Now, before we get into the review as per usual the first thing I always look at is price and the MS150C is a real bargain considering it retails for $329.99 but better again Neewer have given me a 21% off discount code HAYES21 which brings the price down to just $269.69 and that is just supidly low. So for price the MS150C just can’t be beaten but lets have a look at its features and performance now to see if they can deliver also.
Neewer MS150C Specs lists
- 150 watt RGB light ouput.
- 81,300 Lux @ 0.5m
- Ultra compact size
- 2 mount options with a Bowens mount or also the smaller Neewer mount option now too.
- Full wireless control via the Neewer app.
- Weighs only 700 grams.
- Three powering options with mains V-mount battery or NPF battery powering options also.
- Ultra quiet operation with 3 fan modes.
- CRI 97+ and TLCI 98+
- 17 Special effects modes
- Full RGB range
- Colour temp from 2,700K – -6,500K
Getting back to what you get inside the box now and there is a really nice carrying case supplied as well as the Neewer Mount to Bowens Mount adaptor so you havbe the option of using both mounting options.
Can I just say the adptor once fitted really does make the MS150C feel like it has a proper Bowens mount as this is not some cheap fiddly adaptor it’s an incredibly solid unit that feels like it was always a prt of the light body.
So don’t worry this unit is fully compatible with any bowens mount light modifiers you may already have. The new Neewer mini Bowens mount if you could call it that it just a neater more compact mount you have the option of using if you want.
MS150C Build Quality.
Now holding the light for the first time I was surprised how solid it felt especially given the cheap price but this unit really does punch well above its pay grade regarding build quality.
The mesh housing is very solid and you can see it was designed with both optimal passive cooling in mind and body strength also, more about the cooling later.
The light controls feel fluid and yet solid, the buttons are positive yet responsive and the display is crisp and sharp. All in all there is very little to complain about as regards build quality in the light itself and again the Light stand or bracket is super comfortable to hold if you are hand holding this light for any length of time you will really appreciate its ergonomics and the fine rubber like grip on the handle.
All in all it’s a 10/10 for the MS150C here.
So who is the Neewer MS150C video light for?
Well anyone that wants 150 watts of power in a super compact form factor with multipe powering options and remote opertion via the Neewer App, with the other plus being it weighs only 700 grams… now that’s impressive feature list and I am guessing you can see why this light is so popular now.
The 3 powering options for MS150C really open this light up to run and gun uses where you can power it via the supplied mains power supply which inmcidentally has a nice long cable on it or you can remote power or batteryt power it via either a V-mount battery with a Neewer NC010 D-TAP to DC cable or via two NPF batteries via the Neewer PS010E adaptor plate.
This really opens the MS150C to a multitude of uses and makes it incredibly versatile and of course the lower weight and compact form factor help when you have a good bit of gear to carry around.
Its size and weight are also a huge advantage if you are using it via a long boom arm where the wireless control help a lot also also.
Battery light output power… A point to note here is that due to the lower input voltage the output power of the MS150C drops from a max of 135 watt output to 93 watts. This is due to the lower input voltage of the battery packs.

- 2 hour battery life at full output power.
- 20 watt LEd light giving 1,730 Lux at 0.5M.
- Wireless Control via the Neewer app.
- Manual controls.

I was blown away by how well built it was especially considering the crazy cheap price it’s selling for, it really shouldn’t be this good and it’s putting a lot on lights nearly twice its price.

- 200M range between mic and receiver.

Audio Quality
The best way to show you this is to watch the video below which I have broken into chapters so you can easily find the audio quality recording tests towards the end of the video. I have both an internal recording in a controlled envoirment and an external recording in very wind noise conditions testing the mic wind shield and the one touch noise reduction too of course which did an amazing job.
You can buy the Neewer CM28 Mic on Amazon here or you can also get it on the Neewer website here.

Ms150c Fan noise and Cooling
Having 150 watts in such a small body would normally present a lot ofheat problems but Neewer have done an amazing job with the MS150C to counter act this.
The first step was the design of the external case and this really nice mesh design helps to clear out as much heat as possible from the unit passively, then they have an ultra quiet fan with three different power settings which when on the lowest setting truly is ultra quiet, more about that later.
Next we have the external power supply and this helps to reduce heat being built up in the unit, having this external power supply helps to cut down on the MS150C’s physical weight if you are and holding it or using it on a long boom arm, where the light has to be extent out a good distance, the lower weight is going to really help you here.
Fan noise and the three fan mode… Intelligent, High speed and Low speed ar eth three different options and as the name more or less implies if you pick High Speed the fan noise is going to be at its loudest, it’s still not that loud though and if you want to hear if for yourself then check out my video below where I run you through how loud it is in all modes.
Low speed then will limit the output power but keep fan noise to a minimum.
Intelligent will then give you the best of both worlds and keep the fan running at low speeds when it’s not needed and then kick into high speed mode when the output power increases.
Intelligent mode would normally be the mode most people go for and in all honestry this would be the norm for most cooling applications in any electronics but sometimes you really do want as little nosie as possible in your scene so Low Speed could also be perfect for you then.
Controlling the Neewer MS150C
You have two different ways of controlling the MS150C, the first being the standard way which involves using the super simple manual controls on the back of the light where you can adjust all your video light setting and of course you can see the setting on the large LCD display.
Or you can use the Neewer app to remotely control the light and balance your lighting set up in seconds, this is incredibly handy for solo shooters or if you are shooting a scene where the lighting isn’t easily accessible, like with long boom arms or jamed up close to a wall or backdrop for instance. You can tweek your settings to perfection via the app and see the results instantly then on camera.
Using the app is very easy simply download it, open it up and pair the light and you can create the look you want in seconds.
Review Conclusion
The Neewer MS150C light is compact, powerful, very bright, feature packed, its build quality is great and best of all it’s crazy cheap. The wireless control and eause of using this light make it a pure joy to use and it is now in my gear bag at all times.
If you are thinking about buying this light then stop thinking and just go for it. I have been buying Neewer products for a long time now and their performnace for the price you pay just continues to blow me away.
See you out there,
Kieran.

All in all there is very little to complain about as regards build quality in the light itself and again the Light stand or bracket is super comfortable to hold if you are hand holding this light for any length of time you will really appreciate its ergonomics and the fine rubber like grip on the handle.
All in all it’s a 10/10 for the MS150C here.
So who is the Neewer MS150C video light for?
Well anyone that wants 150 watts of power in a super compact form factor with multipe powering options and remote opertion via the Neewer App, with the other plus being it weighs only 700 grams… now that’s impressive feature list and I am guessing you can see why this light is so popular now.
The 3 powering options for MS150C really open this light up to run and gun uses where you can power it via the supplied mains power supply which inmcidentally has a nice long cable on it or you can remote power or batteryt power it via either a V-mount battery with a Neewer NC010 D-TAP to DC cable or via two NPF batteries via the Neewer PS010E adaptor plate.
This really opens the MS150C to a multitude of uses and makes it incredibly versatile and of course the lower weight and compact form factor help when you have a good bit of gear to carry around.
Its size and weight are also a huge advantage if you are using it via a long boom arm where the wireless control help a lot also also.
Battery light output power… A point to note here is that due to the lower input voltage the output power of the MS150C drops from a max of 135 watt output to 93 watts. This is due to the lower input voltage of the battery packs.

Ms150c Fan noise and Cooling
Having 150 watts in such a small body would normally present a lot ofheat problems but Neewer have done an amazing job with the MS150C to counter act this.
The first step was the design of the external case and this really nice mesh design helps to clear out as much heat as possible from the unit passively, then they have an ultra quiet fan with three different power settings which when on the lowest setting truly is ultra quiet, more about that later.
Next we have the external power supply and this helps to reduce heat being built up in the unit, having this external power supply helps to cut down on the MS150C’s physical weight if you are and holding it or using it on a long boom arm, where the light has to be extent out a good distance, the lower weight is going to really help you here.
Fan noise and the three fan mode… Intelligent, High speed and Low speed ar eth three different options and as the name more or less implies if you pick High Speed the fan noise is going to be at its loudest, it’s still not that loud though and if you want to hear if for yourself then check out my video below where I run you through how loud it is in all modes.
Low speed then will limit the output power but keep fan noise to a minimum.
Intelligent will then give you the best of both worlds and keep the fan running at low speeds when it’s not needed and then kick into high speed mode when the output power increases.
Intelligent mode would normally be the mode most people go for and in all honestry this would be the norm for most cooling applications in any electronics but sometimes you really do want as little nosie as possible in your scene so Low Speed could also be perfect for you then.
Controlling the Neewer MS150C
You have two different ways of controlling the MS150C, the first being the standard way which involves using the super simple manual controls on the back of the light where you can adjust all your video light setting and of course you can see the setting on the large LCD display.
Or you can use the Neewer app to remotely control the light and balance your lighting set up in seconds, this is incredibly handy for solo shooters or if you are shooting a scene where the lighting isn’t easily accessible, like with long boom arms or jamed up close to a wall or backdrop for instance. You can tweek your settings to perfection via the app and see the results instantly then on camera.
Using the app is very easy simply download it, open it up and pair the light and you can create the look you want in seconds.
Review Conclusion
The Neewer MS150C light is compact, powerful, very bright, feature packed, its build quality is great and best of all it’s crazy cheap. The wireless control and eause of using this light make it a pure joy to use and it is now in my gear bag at all times.
If you are thinking about buying this light then stop thinking and just go for it. I have been buying Neewer products for a long time now and their performnace for the price you pay just continues to blow me away.
See you out there,
Kieran.

Neewer MS150C Review
My in depth Neewer MS150C Review
Hello and welcome to my Neewer Ms150C video light review where I run you through how this light has worked for me, its specs and a few things you might not know about this ultra portable RGB video light from Neewer.
Including did you know you can powered it from a V-mount battery or NPF batteries? It’s an RGB light and it can be fully controlled via the Neewer App to name just a few of it’s perks so come on lets get into this Neewer MS150c review and I will talk you through my experiences with it.
MS150C Price and Discount Code.
Now, before we get into the review as per usual the first thing I always look at is price and the MS150C is a real bargain considering it retails for $329.99 but better again Neewer have given me a 21% off discount code HAYES21 which brings the price down to just $269.69 and that is just supidly low. So for price the MS150C just can’t be beaten but lets have a look at its features and performance now to see if they can deliver also.
Neewer MS150C Specs lists
- 150 watt RGB light ouput.
- 81,300 Lux @ 0.5m
- Ultra compact size
- 2 mount options with a Bowens mount or also the smaller Neewer mount option now too.
- Full wireless control via the Neewer app.
- Weighs only 700 grams.
- Three powering options with mains V-mount battery or NPF battery powering options also.
- Ultra quiet operation with 3 fan modes.
- CRI 97+ and TLCI 98+
- 17 Special effects modes
- Full RGB range
- Colour temp from 2,700K – -6,500K
Getting back to what you get inside the box now and there is a really nice carrying case supplied as well as the Neewer Mount to Bowens Mount adaptor so you havbe the option of using both mounting options.
Can I just say the adptor once fitted really does make the MS150C feel like it has a proper Bowens mount as this is not some cheap fiddly adaptor it’s an incredibly solid unit that feels like it was always a prt of the light body.
So don’t worry this unit is fully compatible with any bowens mount light modifiers you may already have. The new Neewer mini Bowens mount if you could call it that it just a neater more compact mount you have the option of using if you want.
MS150C Build Quality.
Now holding the light for the first time I was surprised how solid it felt especially given the cheap price but this unit really does punch well above its pay grade regarding build quality.
The mesh housing is very solid and you can see it was designed with both optimal passive cooling in mind and body strength also, more about the cooling later.
The light controls feel fluid and yet solid, the buttons are positive yet responsive and the display is crisp and sharp. All in all there is very little to complain about as regards build quality in the light itself and again the Light stand or bracket is super comfortable to hold if you are hand holding this light for any length of time you will really appreciate its ergonomics and the fine rubber like grip on the handle.

Neewer TL60 Review, Can it really be this good?
My indepth Neewer TL60 Review
Hello and welcome to my Neewer TL60 review and in my video review above I walk you through everything you need to know about the TL60 tube light and why I think this has to be the best sub $200.- tube light available today.
Now, speaking of price the Neewer TL60 retails at just under $200.- and the crazy part is with my Neewer discount code HAYES21 you get another 21% off that price bringing it down to around $158.- which is a pure steal for the TL60.
Neewer TL60 features and specifications.
I run you through all the features and special effects in the video above as well as show you how to work the Tube light via the Neewer App to of course.
- It’s main features are….
- 2 hour battery life at full output power.
- 20 watt LEd light giving 1,730 Lux at 0.5M.
- Wireless Control via the Neewer app.
- Manual controls.
- Colour picker touchpad on the rear for fast colour changes.
- Special effects.
- Can be horizontally or vertically mounted.
- DMX control and Infinity Mesh control.
- It’s price then too of course which is a steal.
Conclusion
The Neewer TL60 is a fantastic tube light, with plenty of power for most fill light and background lighting applications, with the 2 hour full power battery life then it really has to be the best sub $200 tube light you can buy today.
I was blown away by how well built it was especially considering the crazy cheap price it’s selling for, it really shouldn’t be this good and it’s putting a lot on lights nearly twice its price.
In short this is definitely staying as part of my kit and there is no way it’s going back to ye Neewer sorry now but errr it went missing in the post 🙂
See you out there,
Kieran.
If you purchase the TL60 via my affliate links or with my discount code I may make a slight commission but it doesn’t cost you anything in fact you can save money with my coupon code 🙂 So thanks for supporting my channel.

You have two different ways of controlling the MS150C, the first being the standard way which involves using the super simple manual controls on the back of the light where you can adjust all your video light setting and of course you can see the setting on the large LCD display.
Or you can use the Neewer app to remotely control the light and balance your lighting set up in seconds, this is incredibly handy for solo shooters or if you are shooting a scene where the lighting isn’t easily accessible, like with long boom arms or jamed up close to a wall or backdrop for instance. You can tweek your settings to perfection via the app and see the results instantly then on camera.
Using the app is very easy simply download it, open it up and pair the light and you can create the look you want in seconds.
Review Conclusion
The Neewer MS150C light is compact, powerful, very bright, feature packed, its build quality is great and best of all it’s crazy cheap. The wireless control and eause of using this light make it a pure joy to use and it is now in my gear bag at all times.
If you are thinking about buying this light then stop thinking and just go for it. I have been buying Neewer products for a long time now and their performnace for the price you pay just continues to blow me away.
See you out there,

Neewer TL60 Review, Can it really be this good?
My indepth Neewer TL60 Review
Hello and welcome to my Neewer TL60 review and in my video review above I walk you through everything you need to know about the TL60 tube light and why I think this has to be the best sub $200.- tube light available today.
Now, speaking of price the Neewer TL60 retails at just under $200.- and the crazy part is with my Neewer discount code HAYES21 you get another 21% off that price bringing it down to around $158.- which is a pure steal for the TL60.
Neewer TL60 features and specifications.
I run you through all the features and special effects in the video above as well as show you how to work the Tube light via the Neewer App to of course.
- It’s main features are….
- 2 hour battery life at full output power.
- 20 watt LEd light giving 1,730 Lux at 0.5M.
- Wireless Control via the Neewer app.
- Manual controls.
- Colour picker touchpad on the rear for fast colour changes.
- Special effects.
- Can be horizontally or vertically mounted.
- DMX control and Infinity Mesh control.
- It’s price then too of course which is a steal.
Conclusion
The Neewer TL60 is a fantastic tube light, with plenty of power for most fill light and background lighting applications, with the 2 hour full power battery life then it really has to be the best sub $200 tube light you can buy today.
I was blown away by how well built it was especially considering the crazy cheap price it’s selling for, it really shouldn’t be this good and it’s putting a lot on lights nearly twice its price.
In short this is definitely staying as part of my kit and there is no way it’s going back to ye Neewer sorry now but errr it went missing in the post 🙂
See you out there,
Kieran.

Neewer MS150C Review
My in depth Neewer MS150C Review
Hello and welcome to my Neewer Ms150C video light review where I run you through how this light has worked for me, its specs and a few things you might not know about this ultra portable RGB video light from Neewer.
Including did you know you can powered it from a V-mount battery or NPF batteries? It’s an RGB light and it can be fully controlled via the Neewer App to name just a few of it’s perks so come on lets get into this Neewer MS150c review and I will talk you through my experiences with it.
MS150C Price and Discount Code.
Now, before we get into the review as per usual the first thing I always look at is price and the MS150C is a real bargain considering it retails for $329.99 but better again Neewer have given me a 21% off discount code HAYES21 which brings the price down to just $269.69 and that is just supidly low. So for price the MS150C just can’t be beaten but lets have a look at its features and performance now to see if they can deliver also.
Neewer MS150C Specs lists
- 150 watt RGB light ouput.
- 81,300 Lux @ 0.5m
- Ultra compact size
- 2 mount options with a Bowens mount or also the smaller Neewer mount option now too.
- Full wireless control via the Neewer app.
- Weighs only 700 grams.
- Three powering options with mains V-mount battery or NPF battery powering options also.
- Ultra quiet operation with 3 fan modes.
- CRI 97+ and TLCI 98+
- 17 Special effects modes
- Full RGB range
- Colour temp from 2,700K – -6,500K
Getting back to what you get inside the box now and there is a really nice carrying case supplied as well as the Neewer Mount to Bowens Mount adaptor so you havbe the option of using both mounting options.
Can I just say the adptor once fitted really does make the MS150C feel like it has a proper Bowens mount as this is not some cheap fiddly adaptor it’s an incredibly solid unit that feels like it was always a prt of the light body.
So don’t worry this unit is fully compatible with any bowens mount light modifiers you may already have. The new Neewer mini Bowens mount if you could call it that it just a neater more compact mount you have the option of using if you want.
MS150C Build Quality.
Now holding the light for the first time I was surprised how solid it felt especially given the cheap price but this unit really does punch well above its pay grade regarding build quality.
The mesh housing is very solid and you can see it was designed with both optimal passive cooling in mind and body strength also, more about the cooling later.
The light controls feel fluid and yet solid, the buttons are positive yet responsive and the display is crisp and sharp. All in all there is very little to complain about as regards build quality in the light itself and again the Light stand or bracket is super comfortable to hold if you are hand holding this light for any length of time you will really appreciate its ergonomics and the fine rubber like grip on the handle.
All in all it’s a 10/10 for the MS150C here.
So who is the Neewer MS150C video light for?
Well anyone that wants 150 watts of power in a super compact form factor with multipe powering options and remote opertion via the Neewer App, with the other plus being it weighs only 700 grams… now that’s impressive feature list and I am guessing you can see why this light is so popular now.
The 3 powering options for MS150C really open this light up to run and gun uses where you can power it via the supplied mains power supply which inmcidentally has a nice long cable on it or you can remote power or batteryt power it via either a V-mount battery with a Neewer NC010 D-TAP to DC cable or via two NPF batteries via the Neewer PS010E adaptor plate.
This really opens the MS150C to a multitude of uses and makes it incredibly versatile and of course the lower weight and compact form factor help when you have a good bit of gear to carry around.
Its size and weight are also a huge advantage if you are using it via a long boom arm where the wireless control help a lot also also.
Battery light output power… A point to note here is that due to the lower input voltage the output power of the MS150C drops from a max of 135 watt output to 93 watts. This is due to the lower input voltage of the battery packs.

Ms150c Fan noise and Cooling
Having 150 watts in such a small body would normally present a lot ofheat problems but Neewer have done an amazing job with the MS150C to counter act this.
The first step was the design of the external case and this really nice mesh design helps to clear out as much heat as possible from the unit passively, then they have an ultra quiet fan with three different power settings which when on the lowest setting truly is ultra quiet, more about that later.
Next we have the external power supply and this helps to reduce heat being built up in the unit, having this external power supply helps to cut down on the MS150C’s physical weight if you are and holding it or using it on a long boom arm, where the light has to be extent out a good distance, the lower weight is going to really help you here.
Fan noise and the three fan mode… Intelligent, High speed and Low speed ar eth three different options and as the name more or less implies if you pick High Speed the fan noise is going to be at its loudest, it’s still not that loud though and if you want to hear if for yourself then check out my video below where I run you through how loud it is in all modes.
Low speed then will limit the output power but keep fan noise to a minimum.
Intelligent will then give you the best of both worlds and keep the fan running at low speeds when it’s not needed and then kick into high speed mode when the output power increases.
Intelligent mode would normally be the mode most people go for and in all honestry this would be the norm for most cooling applications in any electronics but sometimes you really do want as little nosie as possible in your scene so Low Speed could also be perfect for you then.
Controlling the Neewer MS150C
