SmallRig's RM 25C mini LED Video Light looks to deliver a useful balance of size, power, and versatility.
Measuring just 113 x 74 x 29mm (4.4 x 2.9 x 1.1 inches) and weighing 255g (9 oz), despite its small footprint SmallRig's RM 25C mini LED Video Light produces a decent 768 Lux at one metre (3.3′, and that's at 5600K) from its 25W output.
It also provides full RGB+CCT functionality, has a CRI of 96 and TLCI of 99, and a bi-colour temperature range from 2500K to 10,000K, offering users access to over 36,000 colours, along with 14 built-in lighting effects. Power is provided by a 3100mAh lithium battery, capable of delivering up to 50 minutes of operation at full brightness. A rapid-charging feature allows the battery to reach 80% capacity in just 45 minutes, while it also supports pass-through charging, allowing it to be used continuously while connected to external power.
A top-mounted HD LCD display provides a clear overview of key parameters, while a clickable jog wheel and dedicated button offer tactile control.
Included in the kit is a magnetic snap-on diffuser, allowing users to quickly soften the light output without complex setup. And indeed, the light also features a magnetic mounting design as well as a 1/4″-20 thread at the bottom.
Pre-orders are open now, with pricing set at a definitely budget-friendly $59.
