What is the Neewer MS150B?
The Neewer MS150B, in a nutshell, is a midrange constant light designed primarily for video. Its compact size, power and features make it ideal for still photography.
This light was unique a year ago. Today, these features have become more commonplace, and multiple manufacturers are producing compact lighting which continues to be innovative. ZHIYUN’s G200 is a great example, as are SmallRig’s RC 60B and the incredible ZHIYUN G200.
The Neewer MS150B is directly comparable to these products. It matches their COB LED power, Bi-Colour capability, and design quality. The Neewer MS150B is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing kit, just like these other products. The light is powerful despite its size and can be used with either Neewer’s own light modifiers, or traditional Bowens adapters.
The Neewer MS150B will appeal most to those who do not want to make a radical departure from the old continuous lighting. Many will be familiar with the design and controls. There are many options available for powering this light. You can use standard AC or dual NPF970 batteries using the adapter.
The price reflects the build quality as well as its features. NEEWER’s affordable lighting is well known, but this product raises the bar on the quality that we have come to expect. This light is not only popular with enthusiasts, but also professionals who are looking for a durable product.
