FAQs:
How bright is the SmallRig P96, and at what distance is the measurement taken?
The P96 reaches a maximum brightness of around 1100 lux at a distance of approximately 30 cm. At 50 cm, the output measures roughly 400 lux, and at 1 m it produces about 150 lux. This output level makes it well-suited to close-range lighting situations such as talking-head videos, interviews, desk setups, and small product filming.
How long does the battery last during normal use?
The built-in 2200 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 1.75 hours of runtime at maximum brightness. When the brightness is reduced, the runtime extends significantly, reaching up to about 13.5 hours at the lowest output level. In practice, many users run the light at mid-level brightness, which allows several hours of continuous use between charges.
How do you control brightness and colour temperature on the P96?
The light uses a large stepless adjustment wheel on the rear panel. Turning the wheel allows you to smoothly adjust brightness from 0% to 100% and colour temperature between 2700K and 6500K. This design makes it easy to fine-tune lighting with one hand while the light is mounted on a camera or small rig.
Can multiple SmallRig P96 lights be connected?
Yes. The light includes three cold shoe mounts positioned around the sides of the housing. These mounts allow additional P96 lights to be attached directly to one another, creating a larger grid-style lighting panel. This approach helps increase output while keeping the setup compact and easy to mount on a camera or small support arm.
What mounting options are included with the P96?
The light includes a cold shoe adapter, allowing it to mount directly on a camera's hot shoe. The adapter also includes a 1/4"-20 thread so that it can attach to small tripods, light stands, or articulating arms. Combined with the additional cold shoe mounts on the body, this provides flexible positioning for both single-light and multi-light setups.
