SmallRig LED Video Light

Professional lighting for cameras that dont have an electrical connection for flash attachments (cold shoe vs hot shoe). Way better, more features, brighter and worth it over those cheaper lights available right now. SmallRig is a great company. Hope they stay in buisness for years to come.

I picked up this 3-pack of SmallRig RM01 Mini LED lights mainly for macro photography, and I’m honestly blown away by the results. Having the ability to position multiple lights at different angles makes a huge difference in how a subject comes to life. The detail, color, and texture these lights bring out is incredible. Even outdoors, they’ve been powerful enough to overpower the sun when I wanted to highlight flowers and add depth to the shot. The fact that they’re compact, portable, and come with multiple color filters just adds to the versatility. I’m especially looking forward to fall—these are going to be my go-to lights for capturing leaves and seasonal colors in a completely new way. If you shoot macro, nature, or just want portable fill lights with a lot of creative options, this kit is an excellent choice.

I find myself not using these all that much now. I bought 3 of them and the plastic frame used to attach all the accessories all broke within days of each other. So, I have no way to attach all of these accessories that come with the lights. To be frank, it was sort of a pain to have to use them anyway since it was not easy to unsnap the frame from the body of the light. Adjusting the light intensity seem to cause an unnecessary amount of pressure and there was no sort of tactile indication for the power button. In other words, I often had to physically pick the light up to remind myself and visually see where the power button was to adjust the light intensity. This is very inconvenient when you have multiple of these set up and have to go to each one to find that button. The battery life is short. I felt myself under a lot of pressure to rush my photo sessions before the power ran out of the light. They do come with a lot of nice accessories such as color gels, diffusers, honeycomb and barn doors, etc,. For the price, I was actually quite happy with the amount and type of accessories. Update: I am updating my review after some brief contact with Smallrig. Smallrig made everything right immediately for me which I greatly appreciate. It is great that I don't have to resort to buying the next lighting option for me which would cost me about twice the price of these SmallRig Mini LEDs to do the same job. Smallrig stands by their products and I am impressed. I have many photography accessories including other products made by SmallRig. All of my other SmallRig products have been of high quality from day one including their Pix M160 LED panel lights which have been my main work horses for my photography lighting for a while now. It is great that I can continue to use these SmallRig MIni LED lights as intended for my shoots.

Love the set. I use it to light scenes of miniatures (Warhammer, the like) and take photos of them with various effects. The three lights allow for pretty much any lighting needed and the attachments (magnetic) turn them into small stage lights, allow for colored lights, spots, etc. Pretty much anything big lights do, but for ~1/56 scale. I would wish for a little better ability to dim the lights. 3 levels can be chosen from, but lack the flexibility I would like. The stands/tripods area little oversized for the set, I think, and the hotshoe connectors, while lower are inflexible, so sometimes creativity is needed when lighting a scene at this scale. Would absolutely recommend, though.

Very impressed. Seems to be very high quality, Very cool case to hold it all in, way more than I expected for the price. Lot's of gel's, barn door, diffusers (one gel, one silicone) snoot, grid, etc. Much brighter than I thought it would be. On high, can be used as a video light.

This thing is a Beast!! Super bright light with multiple filters and light options. Great for filming and being creative. A must for vloggers and film makers. Takes creativity to another level.

For $40 you get the light and all the accessories too. Build quality surprised me, nothing about it feels cheap. The light is even and easy to adjust, and I had it figured out right away. It’s small, so it lives in my bag now. Good pick whether you’re new to macro or you’ve been doing it a while.

Device is often a little too bright. It doesn't get dim enough. I lost the silicone diffuser piece because it fell off during use. A replacement was $1 plus $10 S&H. Took roughly 2 months for the replacement piece to arrive. My experience has not been great; I likely won't shop for their products again.

Amazed at how great these little lights are. We bought them for spotlighting focus points on tabletops for photography, but will be taking them camping with us as well. They pack a great little punch for their size and will be fantastic for around the kitchen area after dark without creating unnecessary light pollution that spills everywhere. And the USB-C recharging is a massive bonus. Highly recommended.

Good quality
