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.

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.

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!

I have a different rechargeable light (the very decent little godox m150) that is exactly the same size and about the same weight, which is half the price but daylight only and only 9W power. But it can be run full power with no fan to cool it. I'd already read the reviews of this talking about the fan noise. (And I've seen all the youtube shills who shamefully didn't mention it). But even still I can have bi-colour for the same size which when run at 20% with no fan cutting in and is the same power as the godox. Run at 40% is twice as bright for no or very little fan noise. And you can have whatever colour you need at that sort of power as each of the 2 colour banks of LEDs must be twice as powerful as the godox. If you need it and the fan noise isn't an issue in the shot you have also the potential of 40W to use. Overall I wish the fan wasn't there but of course where there is power there is heat to be got rid of. Its still a worthwhile improvement so I've sold the godox on and kept this.

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.

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.

The light itself is good, but in the picture, you can see the attachment for the camera, which I didn't get. Now I have to purchase it separately.

Only few uses but seems very good. Colour control is staggered and abrupt changes on the control wheel but not a problem for my use.

Léger, peu encombrant j'aime cette lumière d'appoint. autonomie conforme a la notice constructeur, source lumineuse généreuse et stable, je l'utilise en intérieur (ruine, pyramide, piece non éclairé) la recharge un peut longue même avec un très bon chargeur
