SmallRig RC 100B COB Video Light with Handle, 100W Bi-Color 2700K-6500K, Type-C Fast Charging, Built-in Battery Plate, App Control for Photography, Photo Studio, Mobile Version (Without Battery) 4894

This is a great little light. I use it for portable shoots for my YouTube channel, for portrait head shots, and interviews. I suggest getting the modifier to soften the light. But this is a gem of a light. The only issue is with this model you get a handle instead the traditional up and down pointing mount. The battery seems like it last forever. I don't I have ever killed my SmallRig vmount battery while at location. Must have for a small set one person maybe two.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This light is so useful and portable. The light flow is even and beautiful. I have used it to make YouTube videos. I attached Bowen’s mount soft box for diffused light. Can’t say enough good things about this one!

AVOID - CANNOT USE POWER ADAPTER INDOORS! I considered trying SmallRig after using Nanlight and Aperture for years. I like the portability of this light and the power with V Mount batteries is more than sufficient for portable lighting on street or remote locations and liked the price. However I (like many professionals) want the option of using this in a studio, without batteries, plugged in. I’ve reached out asking about a power adapter since it does not come with one, they explained they no longer make one but actually recommended by Smallrig’s store account that I buy from a third party seller on ebay, power adapter model number 4853 which I did. What they did not tell me is that the power only goes to 20% brightness with this adapter which is very dim and pointless!! After purchasing this adapter I sent them a message and they have still kept me waiting on a response and now it’s too late to return this light. I will not be using Smallrig in my studio. The other con is the mount is a “mini bowens”, which allows you to use 2 very specific modifiers and even though they sell an adapter, the adapter or the reflector for this light has no slot for an umbrella SMH lol. Neewer makes an adapter that states it’s compatible with an umbrella slot but just goes to show this light is cheap for a reason and doesn’t provide much value for studio use. Avoid for professional work.

I was just at CES in Vegas, doing sitdown interviews as well as interviewing while we walked around on the floor. I brought this as my key light with soft box in addition to two other inflatables which are fantastic, but this one is very compact. I like that I can use a mount battery on it. Great output.

The light seems to be working great however the handles snapped instantly after only 10 minutes of being on my tripod. Couldn’t even handle the weight of the light my light tumble to the floor now we have to wait and see if something happens with it. Just don’t trust the handle it comes with.

I was very happy with this product until it stopped working in the middle of a recording for a client, first apparently it was an overheating problem but when I wanted to use it again it no longer worked, it won't let me use it either with the cable or with the v mount battery, I'll try to get a replacement or refund since I don't know if I should trust again UPDATE Smallrig customer service contacted me and even after requesting a refund and returning the damaged item, in a gesture of goodwill they sent me another replacement item even though I had already received my refund Apparently this problem was an isolated problem and I will definitely continue to enjoy Smallrig's excellent products

Awesome product!

We used this light for a nighttime parade, the color balance and brightness was better than anything we’ve used in the past. The V mount let us use our 100 small rig battery. 60 minutes of continuous use and only drained the battery 50%

I have been using this to take image of owls at night, it works incredibly well, and the app is excellent

Absolutely love the small size factor. And it's powerful enough for portrait photo and video shooting. Works well with v-mount batteries

Lumière conforme , réponds à mes attentes . Faible encombrement, assez puissante 👌

No incluye el cable DC para usar los 100W apropiadamente, tampoco incluye un estuche ni difusor como la versión de 60W para tomarlo en cuenta. Hay una versión en Amazon que incluye el cable pero cuesta 2mil pesos más, mejor comprar el cable por separado 👍🏽 por usb-c y con el alimentador de Macbook de 96W el máximo de luz es de 60%

PASAR DE UNA LUZ DE 100w también de SmallRig que tenía que llevar en su propio maletín y conectarla a la corriente, a esta luz que me cabe en la mochila de la cámara, y tiene diversas formas de darle corriente sin necesidad de cables, me parece fantástico. Se le ve muy buena calidad a los materiales, que en el futuro iremos viendo como se deterioran, espero que no me pase como con otras luces de SmallRig que del roce en la mochila se ha roto algún componente. Tiene una iluminación bestial para caber en la palma de la mano. No hace falta comentar que trae los típicos efectos que traen ya todas las luces y un regulador de potencia y temperatura. La única pega que podría ponerle es, que si le pongo dos baterías con el adaptador, solo deja poner la potencia al 60%, pero cabe destacar que en la situaciones que la uso, no me hace falta ponerle más de un 10% de potencia. En resumen. Calidad precio está muy bien.
