FAQs
Can I mount these lights to a standard tripod?
Yes, if your tripod has a cold shoe mount or if you use a cold-shoe-to-1/4-inch adapter.
Are the batteries replaceable?
No, the batteries are integrated into the RM01 units for a smaller form factor.
How long do the batteries last?
Battery life varies by brightness level, but they are designed for extended portable use in macro and vlogging sessions.
Are the color filters included?
Yes, the kit includes 8 pieces of color filters to help you adjust the light's mood and creative effect.
Is this kit suitable for professional studio portrait photography?
The RM01 is best for macro work and small subjects. For large studio portraits, you would likely need more powerful studio-grade lighting.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to turn on
Ensure the device is fully charged; check the charging cable and power source.
Accessories keep falling off
Verify that the accessory is properly snapped or seated into the magnetic or clip-in housing mounts on the light head.
Light color looks different from other sources
The RM01 is daylight balanced (5600K). Ensure your camera's white balance is set to 'Daylight' or 5600K to match.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the RM01 kit is straightforward. Each light features a cold shoe mount, allowing you to attach them directly to your camera's hot shoe, camera cages, or light stands equipped with cold shoe adapters.
- Powering: Ensure all three units are charged via their internal batteries before your shoot.
- Shaping: Snap on the desired modifier—such as the diffuser for soft lighting or the barndoors for directional control—before mounting the light.
- Placement: Arrange your lights in a classic triangle formation around your subject.
- Maintenance: While the unit is rain and dust-proof, wipe the lenses clean with a dry microfiber cloth after use to prevent smudges from diffusing light improperly. Store the components in the provided carrying case to prevent the loss of small accessories like the honeycomb grids.
