Product Information

Genaray Mini Moon RGB

The Genaray Mini Moon RGB is a portable fixture that provides a natural and soft continuous light source with broad coverage for still and tabletop photography, portraits, and interviews. This light delivers highly accurate color rendering in CCT and RGB modes. An integrated diffuser furnishes a soft wraparound and single-shadow beam. The Mini Moon RGB operates on either AC or battery power and accepts NP-F or V-mount batteries. It features dimming from 100% to 0% in 1% increments. This light supports DMX-512, allowing its settings to be remotely controlled from a DMX console. It has 512 selectable channels and a DMX output jack to daisy-chain other DMX-compatible lights. Remote operation from up to 60 feet away is possible with Genaray’s RSF-11-R remote (available separately).
