genaray RGB-CP425 Pocket On Camera RGB LED

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY!

Genaray’s RGB-CP425 RGB LED light is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and it features an array of 60 RGBAW LEDs that produce a bright and wide 120° beam of color-accurate light as well as creative lighting effects.

Use the four operating modes to accurately set color temperature, manually select any color from the 360 °color wheel, and simulate the light from one of the industrystandard gels. And the RGB-CP425 is loaded with 10 animated effects that let you add police car emergency lights, a flickering candle, or papparazzi camera flashes to your videos.

The RGB-CP425 is controlled by a simple and intuitive on-unit interface. Bluetooth support pairs with Genaray’s RGB Series mobile app, which provides access to even more powerful features. Use the app to create a universe of RGB-series lights that can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet from up to 33 feet away.
