The Zhiyun Cinepeer C100 combines a tube-like shape with a panel-style light source. I tested it for headshots and creative portrait lighting.

A flexible shape and modifiers
The review walks through the removable barn doors, diffusion panel, battery-powered design, and controls. I also use a smaller Zhiyun light to build a compact two-light setup. Zhiyun supplied the C100 for testing.
From simple headshots to color
The second part of the video shows a real portrait session, starting with straightforward headshots and then adding colored light and atmosphere. The examples make it easier to see how placement changes the look.
My experience
I enjoyed the light’s portability and the range of creative setups it allowed. The video demonstrates the output I actually used rather than assuming every job needs the light at full power.
