Phottix M5 LED Light

The Phottix M5 LED Light is an ultra-compact, featherweight continuous lighting source engineered for mobile content creators, run-and-gun videographers, and macro photographers who require a pocket-sized fill light on location. Designed to slide completely unnoticed into a jacket pocket or a camera bag accessory pouch, this miniature LED panel functions as a reliable, high-speed solution for illuminating close-up subjects or clearing out harsh shadows in the field.

Featuring a fixed daylight color temperature, clean color rendering accuracy, and an integrated power bank, the M5 delivers dependable, self-contained performance without adding physical bulk to your portable shooting kit.

Product Features in Detail

6600K Fixed Daylight Color Balancing
Engineered to operate seamlessly alongside natural environments, the panel features a fixed 6600K color temperature. This daylight-matched output allows you to blend the fixture’s fill light with ambient mid-day sun rays or match other outdoor continuous studio fixtures without creating messy, mixed-lighting white balance challenges in your camera sensor.

High-Fidelity CRI 90 Color Reproduction
Despite its ultra-miniature footprint, the light panel boasts an impressive Color Rendering Index (CRI) rating of 90. This high score serves as your technical guarantee that the spectral output will faithfully reproduce skin tones, fabric textures, and product details accurately, saving you time spent correcting unnatural color casts during video editing or photo color-grading.

Integrated 500 mAh Rechargeable Power Cell
Eliminating the need to carry loose AA cells, bulky external battery plates, or extra charging cables on a quick shoot, the fixture runs entirely on an internal 500 mAh battery. This self-contained power design keeps the physical footprint entirely enclosed and sleek, giving you total freedom to place the light in tight spaces where external cables wouldn't fit.

1.5-Hour Continuous Field Runtime
Optimized for short-form video segments, interviews, or macro detail sessions, the integrated power cell supplies a steady stream of power that yields 1.0 to 1.5 hours of continuous runtime on a full charge. This dependable battery life ensures you can confidently dial in your camera settings and capture multiple takes without worrying about sudden light drops.

5-Step Linear Digital Dimming Range
To handle a variety of shooting distances and ambient environments, the rear control interface features a 5-step digital dimming selection. This multi-level adjustment lets you quickly scale down the light output to prevent blown-out highlights when shooting close-up macro details, or step it up to maximum power when using the light as a direct fill on a human subject.

Minimalist Pocket-Sized Form Factor
True to its "unnoticed" design philosophy, the M5 is built with an ultra-slim, low-profile chassis that mimics the shape of a small smartphone or card case. It slides effortlessly into a laptop sleeve corner, a small camera pouch, or a pants pocket, acting as a dedicated, self-contained lighting vault that you can take anywhere in the world.
