Tried this already on the streets of London and I couldn’t believe how bright this light can be. Definitely not needed at full power so the battery lasts actually very long!I was also lucky enough to get its silicon cover sent for free and the whole set is now complete and perfect! As I plan to shoot some portraits on low light this will definitely help me even out the lighting throughout their faces.A BIG MASSIVE thank you to Mina who assisted me through some delivery issues. She is the best customer service I had it in a while!Thank you again!

Great little versatile light which served well on an overseas trip where everything had to fit in one bag. It won't last long on the internal battery on full power (very bright) but as I was using it for interviews at night I didn't go there - if you do be prepared for a noticeable fan noise.But as a small key light/fill light on location for a head and shoulder type thing it's brilliant. I cut some scrim and attached with velcro to make a travel friendly softbox-ish light modifier which you need as it's pretty harsh even with the inbuilt modifer. You can use & charge off a battery pack too. Recommended.

The build quality of these units is very impressive. They feel heavy and solid, not fragile like some of the other cheaper options. They aren’t too heavy to carry around but I wouldn’t be concerned about them being broken if I just dropped them in my bag. Having physical controls is also really useful — there’s no messing around with menu screens, just one dial for brightness and one for colour temperature. The light they give off is nice and even, well dispersed, and impressively powerful — I used one light to work from in a power cut one night recently and got a good half hour of light on full brightness before the battery ran out (I don’t think it was fully charged, either). So these are really great for videography on the go and have become important parts of my live-streaming kit. It’s worth noting they aren’t full colour, they just do various shades of white, and don’t have the snazzy lighting effects you can find on other devices. But for the price and for the specific task of key or fill lighting, I don’t think you’ll find anything better.

I was after a small light with a bit of punch to keep in my kit bag. This certainly kicks out a lot of light for its size. The downsides are that it gets hot quickly and the fan kicks in within a few minutes - which, at full speed is really loud - it couldn't be used near microphones if recording important audio. Also the internal battery will last less than 30 mins on full power, shame there isn't a battery shoe on the back to use external NP-L type batts. The case has big vents (understandably) but this also means it has zero water protection, and the only mounting points are on the moveable arm at one end - there are no 1/4" holes along the body, limiting mounting options and giving it a weird centre-of-gravity. For all its impressive technical ability, the design needs a bit more thought.

I have had many 'pocket' led video lights in the past and this one is defiantly king.It's bright, I turn it on with fear that Im going to ramp up the power too much and hurt my eyes.I do find the dials a bit finacky and hard to read. end up doing colour temp and brightness most by feel due to the dials being hard to read.The silicone diffuser is also a must but is sold separately.It's chunky so I do still use my smaller lights for when I actually need to pocket the light on the go.

I really love the M40 as it is very portable and a powerful light to have in your camera bag. Its better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

This is a small, compact and incredibly bright rechargeable lamp, apparently mostly aimed at photo/videographers. It's sized like a chunky mobile phone, and moderately heavy, but would fit in a bag without issue. Underneath a rotating kickstand (with a screw-in camera/tripod mount), there are two dials. One controls the brightness and power on/off, and the other controls the temperature of the light, from cold bright white to warmer yellow/orange shades. At even 50% it's easily bright enough to light up an entire room, and the batteries will run for several hours. At full power, it looks to have a fan inside to cool off the LED modules.In all it's a very versatile little light, but it is a bit on the expensive side for what it is, I think. £99 ? Oof.

Incredible light from Zhiyun, very small and compact but don’t let it’s size fool you, it really packs a punch. Super easy to use with great mounting options. A game changer for people on the go or wanting to light places where there is limited space.
