Godox ML30 Reviews

Decent, but cheap construction

By Eric
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2025-07-01

I bought this light to serve as a hair light in a basic 3-point set up and it does that job admirably. For a ~30 watt light, it's not going to have a lot of oomph. My biggest gripe is in the construction of it. The plastic face on the back of the unit fell off and the handle for the adjusting the tilt came apart during my second time using it. Everything is still functional so I don't have a pressing need to return it, but I am disappointed that it fell apart so quickly.

Just about perfect

Quiet. So quiet. Not super powerful, but small with good battery life. I picked up two and will probably pair them with something more powerful for times there's need.

Does the ML30 need to be powered by 2 batteries ...

Does the ML30 need to be powered by 2 batteries simultaneously like the ML60, or 1 battery is sufficient? If 1 battery is sufficient, what is the advantage of having 2 batteries on the battery pack?
