Macro photography is all about details. The iridescent sheen of a beetle’s wing, the intricate veins of a leaf, the sparkle in a gemstone. But capturing that level of precision is not only about having the right macro lens; it’s about light.
SmallRig’s new RM 03 Macro Photography LED Light promises to deliver the perfect illumination for your close-up world, and honestly – it might just become your new favorite shooting companion when working out in the wilds.
This 30W light is particularly suited to macro in the outdoors and it resembles a nimble little creature that bends to your will. Thanks to its built-in metal spring arm, the RM 03 can flex and twist into position over 1,000 times without losing shape, giving you total control over your lighting angles.
Whether you’re wrapping it around a tree branch for an outdoor shoot or clamping it to your tripod, this light goes where you need it. With multiple mounting options included in the box, such as a ground stake, heavy-duty clamp, cold shoe mount and a 1/4".20 threaded hole for stand support.
In addition to multiple mounting options, you also get versatile light-shaping tools in the box. A diffuser for softer light quality, four-leaf barn doors for controlled direction, and even a spotlight attachment for that dramatic, focused beam.
The RM 03 also offers five colors of high-intensity LED light and five levels of brightness, so you can sculpt your subject exactly how you envision it.
And for those who love chasing details outdoors, the light is IP54 weatherproof. Rain, wind, dust, this light shrugs it all off. Pair that with a 140-minute runtime from the built-in battery (with USB-C charging, even while shooting) and you’ve got uninterrupted creativity in any environment.
In short, the SmallRig RM 03 Macro Photography LED Light is a lighting tool that adapts to your creativity, helping you capture plants, jewelry, insects or tiny textures that others overlook.
The SmallRig RM 03 Macro Photography LED Light is available to order now for $49.99 / £45.90 / AU $78.90.
