Gaffer & Gear 174 - SmallRig Rm01 Kit 

Finally i can build a studio in my dollhouse

Cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Maybe perfect for people doing Lego stop motion

Lights work great for product and toy photography, because it sends light directly onto the items. It's like a big light but in miniature. Amazing!

The micro barn doors, snoots, diffusion and grids got me. I can see these little guys come in handy. Thanks, Andrew!

smallrig are a well known brand for camera rigging stuff, i own a bunch of their products and have never been disapointed, interesting to see them venture into lighting. i could see these come in handy for the ole "hey can i get a tiny amount of light in this foreground element without ruining everything else please?" you end up building up an entire apurture 60x / dedo just to run it at 1% with a stupid amount of blackwrap on it.

These lights will go so well with Matthews 5'' pocket c-stands!

Somebody needs to put a these onto that Teensy Matthews C Stand to achieve peak cuteness.

Cute and lots of uses for a lot of photography where soft tube lights won’t work. Cool review

If you buy the Lee filter catalogue you get over 250 color gels to use with this. It's the perfect size to cut it in half and get 2 of each (3.8 x 3.8mm). I bought this at the end of last year and, although one of them had to be replaced, they're pretty great. Intelligent of you, Andrew, to not review everything that comes out, but only what you think might be of interest to people who already own basic stuff.

Cute! It looks like a GoPro Session. Even the little charging door looks like the door on a Session.

These really seem like they'd be great for stop-motion! Personally, for that purpose, I think the mini tripods would be excellent! Great review, thanks!

OMG these are adorable... perfect for product work as well as specials. Thanks for sharing!

They are the cutest little lights I have seen!!

Excellent review, love the way you turn off all lights quickly to show exactly what's happening - you definitely sold me on these lights, with all the accessories they seem to be very useful to give accent to many Scenes and enhance it, thanks alot Andrew

Thanks a lot a lot a lot for making me discover those, I put a personal project on hold because I needed very small lights and didn't know such existed with those modifiers and that's exactly what I need.

I have never described a light as "cute" before, but there's a first time for everything...these are freakin' cute!

It looks like Small Rig are following Tilta into manufacturing of COB lights and RGBWW pocket lights and other camera accessories. So strange to think that Kessler was the 'go-to' company for camera rigs until Small Rig stole that market away from them. Thanks for the review Andrew 👍🏻👍🏻

I'd love to see these put to use on an actual set. I'm guessing they might come in handy for throwing a few pools of light on background objects for interview setups....but it's one more piece of kit to keep charged and bring along with somewhat limited uses. Thanks for checking them out for us.

This rig reminds me of a light I bought a few years ago called the loom cube 2.0 was an interesting idea seem more prone for photography The small rig seems to be a much better value as I'm looking at it. Thanks great video.

Just bought one of these, hope it delivers. My only concern is the short run time. Thanks for the review.

Super useful video - Thank you for this detailed explanation! :)

G’day Andrew, thank you mate for providing this review video. New Subscriber here. Cheers from the Westside 🦘🇦🇺👍🏻 I just purchased this item $105 on special from DigiDirect 👌🏻

Interesting. Could see this as a potential hair light, or like mini parcans to create beams of lights in a dim, hazed small environment.

And the cutest light award goes to...

Great review, many thanks.

Thanks! Seems to a pretty good value for three lights and the modifiers.

Great for product photography and video. It’s a lot of stuff in an $80 kit!

I came across these while researching the impressive but heinously expensive Lume Cube kits. Thought this version might only be good for the attachments, but gaining hope that the units themselves might be part a good starter kit. I'm a wannabe enthusiast guerrilla narrative filmmaker; these suit the small scale intimate stuff I want to do. Whether I go with this kit or not, great no-nonsense approach in the review of it that'll bring me back for more ; so few show, rather than tell. Ironic, since it's a cornerstone of visual storytelling. Great mix of the practical & the key tech data; the Curtis Judd of lighting info-reviewers...lol.. Liked & subbed with gratitude. Good on ya, I believe is the expression.

I think you could set up a Barbie film studio with that!

Look incredible value for money. though I'm seeing a US price of $110 not $80. I have the Godox WL4B which is about 50% more expensive and doesn't come with all the modifiers, just the dome diffuser. It is, however, 4W and IPX8 waterproof. It has three 1/4 inch mounting points and the back is magnetic. It supports bluetooth phone APP control. Thank you very much for the review, interesting, thorough and to the point as always.

Also Andrew, could you possibly share your camera settings on future videos? Your photometric findings are invaluable (altho I have to convert to footcandles for my brain to understand 😅) but it might be useful for me and others to visually get a feel for a fixture at a given exposure

Stop motion animation win!

Got this to use before i get the lume cube 2 pack

These are pretty ubiquitous lights. Think it's one of those wholesale items a bunch companies rebrand. That said, I've only ever seen the ones sold in America by Promaster, and only as a one light kit, and it costs $50-$60, so this Smallrig kit is a pretty darn good deal.

Seems like a bit of a no brainer on having something small in your kit based on price. However, totally agree on ditching those funky little stands and having a six light kit.

Just need this with a micro fresnel and it'll be perfect!

I can see these being useful, but bicolor would be far better, or even tungsten. I personally find myself adding warm touches in a scene far more often than just daylight

can you do a video on eye light. this seems it could be pretty useful for that to give a catch light

Should be great as an obie light!

Stellar review thank you. Bright enough to be used as a rim/hair light?

Thanks Andrew!👍🏾🙏🏾

Would use it for packshots 👌

I was thinking that the aputure 60D barn doors was the cuttest barn doors I've ever seen until I see this hahahaha

Sometimes I use a LumeCube to add some light to dark areas of a shot or background of an interview. Now I just use it as a flashlight..lol

Looks very useful - But more gear to live on my charging table. Would be better if the batteries were removable - less chance of being caught with a dead light...

Thank you for this nice video. Could you put the link for us so we can buy it?

I know this video is 10 moths old but I figured I´d ask anyway. Would these work for shooting diecast cars and toy soldiers outdoors? Mainly at dusk and dark but also as fill light during the day.

Does it attach to Matthews 5" Pocket C-Stand?

These seem ideal as an eye light. Interesting either way.

This light would also appear handy as a catch light for the eyes no? (At minimum brightness)

I geek off little lights

What light would you guys recommend if I wanted to recreate sharp sun beams with only one lightweight light on a stand? All the units I found don't have quite enough power (like this) or they have optical elements and therefore are big and heavy (like a source four, even the junior).

Thanks for the review. Where are you getting a price of $80 US? I’m only finding the kit for $110 US, can you add a link to the description?

I actually expected to see a tiny Fresnel lens. Oh well, maybe next time. Cool kit for a macro photography though

Offtoppic but when you do your review of the aputure 1200d can you try the new reflectors (not optimized for it I know) on the 600d? Would be really interesting! Love your videos, thanks for the great content!

Looks like the Ulanzi cute lite.

It sure does grab attention! I thought its a joke or prank :D

Pretty much the same as Lume Cubes with accessories but at a much more reasonable price.

Are these magnetic? How did you pop it on your garage door? Tape?

I want these cause its fucking adorable LOL I want a mini soft box for it

So is this for lighting macro shots? Haha

What’s this? A film light for ANTS?!
