Perfect for street photography, mobile filmmaking, travel content, and run-and-gun shooting.  This portable LED light makes creating professional-quality lighting easy, no matter where inspiration strikes.

Built-In Lithium Battery - Charge While In Use

The ML40R features a built-in high-capacity rechargeable lithium battery that gives you up to 43 minutes of continuous runtime at full power. It also allows you to charge the light while in use, perfect for extended shoots. You can extend your shoot times by either connecting the BG02 Battery Grip Handle or a compatible power bank. This ensures you can shoot or stream for extended periods without interruption.

Magnetic design allows for flexible lighting.
