SmallRig RF 10C Reviews

I like it. Wish I had paid extra for the 20C

By Jonathan

The good: I was really impressed with everything SmallRig has done with this light. It is absolutely flashlight sized. The light quality is excellent. Size and weight are all impressive! The light control is simple and straightforward. The bad: The 10C is simply way too dim for any brightly lit set. I should have gone with the 20C. I will in the near future. The gobo solution isn't great. The adapter is made of a really soft rubber, and its not stiff enough to hold up. I'm also disappointed that there isn't a case of some sort for the light or at a minimum a cap to cover and protect the lens while its in a bag. Finally, I highly recommend the spotlight lens kit. Its a great little solution.

Attractive special effect at first until majorly flawed - a caution

I don't often write reviews. I also buy SmallRig often and probably will again, but this light is not reliable, endlessly finicky, and not worth the trouble. The build of it is great. The variety of gobos, the silicone and metal, the brightness and color output are all excellent on camera. What presents a quick problem is the single button operation. To turn it on (as noted on the light itself and in the manual) you "rotate the button half round to power on." My unit will have a full charge and endlessly blink a red indicator light when I follow this direction. I will let the unit sit for a few minutes, come back and rotate the button once again in the same direction (it doesn't specify, but clockwise is the way that works) and then it will power on. Rotating the button further will increase brightness. It alerts you that you have reached max brightness by flashing the light output on and off - which is jarring. I don't want to be lighting talent and only know that I reached full power by repeatedly flashing the light at them while it's also as bright as possible. The light also flashes to tell you it's as dim as possible. The brightness is not gradual; it's hard stops, eight increments. You cannot dim the light to 0%. Pressing the button switches the color of the beam. White, red, yellow, blue. Apart from the inconsistency of just turning the light on, the light will power itself off while still having a charge. The USB power port itself is too particular. You can't use any USB, cable speed and power delivery aside. I went through several capable options of cables and only one or two will latch properly to the light, one of which was actually able to charge it. The light, not plugged in, seems to only stay on maybe thirty minutes at a time. It doesn't die, but it shuts off. If I run the light while it's plugged in, whether to an external battery or to the wall, it will shut off around the same half hour mark. When it functions, it's a fun light that gives a powerful, creative pop to a shot. But I would not consider it for use in serious video production. You don't set it and leave it. It will better suit shorter photo shoot applications. I suggest going with an alternative.

Can this be hardwired to a power supply for continuous use?
Asked by: JohnBen
The SmallRig RF 10C Portable Focusable LED Video Light has a built-in battery that can be charged by a USB-C power supply cable or wall adapter; a 40W draw should be more than sufficient to power this low-output light.
