NANLITE Multicolor-Kameraleuchte MixPad II 11C

Colors are way punchier than I expected straight out of the box, and the lithium-ion battery lasted me through a full indoor shoot without a swap. The dial for adjusting the mix feels responsive and precise, which makes quick tweaks on the fly a breeze.

The battery slot is a bit snug, but once the KNP-F550 is in, the light runs for ages. I love how quickly I can dial in any color temperature on set.

The color mixing is incredibly precise and the build feels solid enough for daily studio use. I’ve been able to dial in exactly the mood I want for portraits without any frustrating color shifts.
