Product Information
Full details
The SmallRig RM01 Mini LED Video Light is an essential tool for content creators and photographers who specialize in macro photography, tabletop product shots, or working in confined spaces. Its primary benefit lies in its extreme portability and included professional light-modifying accessories, which offer granular control over illumination. While this light is incredibly versatile for close-up subjects, users should be aware that its small form factor is not designed to replace high-output studio lights for large-scale scene lighting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the RM01, ensure the light is fully charged before your first use. It is compatible with standard cold shoe mounts or can be mounted via its screw points to various tripods and camera cages. When using the modifiers, snap them securely into place to ensure they do not shift during a shoot.
To care for your device, store it in a clean, dry environment. Avoid letting the LED surface come into contact with abrasive materials, and if cleaning is necessary, use only a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Do not expose the internal electronics to water or extreme moisture, as this could damage the battery and circuitry.
