ML1 enjoys a phone-size construction
The review starts with the appearance. Antonio holds the Moman ML1 in his hands and compares it to his phone. As you can see, this LED panel light for camera is compact and flat, no more than palm size, and even smaller than the smartphone. It is 120mm long and 64mm wide, and only 15mm thick, the closest phone size should be iPhone 13 mini (131.5mm*64.5mm*7.65). It can be easily held in the hand or smoothly fit into a pocket. Using the carrying bag in the package, which is comfortable and soft, it can be carried for daily use and vlogging on the go.
ML1 supports mounting on the camera or magnetically sticking
This camera light for video shooting is made of aluminum alloy with a weight of 145g. Thus, it will be mounted on top of the camera, or any bracket or device with a 1/4" thread, it will not bring a lot of burden to the handheld camera shooter, which is lightweight and mighty. As it's said in the video, it could a great and new idea to hook it with a carabiner some But what Antonio may have missed is that ML1 has a magnetic back that can be quickly and firmly attached to a metal surface without the aid of mounting or other props.
ML1 has indicator lights for three modes and battery power on the back
When you turn it over and you can see three light mode indicators and a battery level indicator. Which dot indicator is on shows which effect is currently used. As to the light for power display, in this form, it may be intuitive but not clear enough, but this design makes ML1 camera fill light save more unnecessary power consumption in exchange for longer runtime up to 8 hours. If you prefer to adjust to more accurate data and a more explicit power display specific to time units, Moman also has types with screen displays, such as Moman ML2D LED light panel for photography, where you can see the remaining runtime in hours, and others.
ML1 RGB LED panel light’s operation is easy for starters to handle
Antonio shows us that ML1 has two buttons on the top. The one that is near to the Type-C port for charging, is used for switching among modes. The other one is the power button, a long press on it and you can toggle on/off of the video light for camera. Look at the side and you can find two sliding buttons for changing color temperature and brightness, very convenient and easy to master.
There’s also a review on Moman ML1 from HP Bikers’ channel, where it is introduced in a different way and style. This video focuses more on its functions and the effect of lighting on human figures.
ML1's package includes the fundamental accessories you might need
Moman ML1 is packed with a black velvet bag for carrying on daily shooting activities. a small manual explaining how to use it, a Type-C power supply cable for quick and stable charge, a hot shoe mount of rotating head for mounting on the shooting devices, such as DSLR, mirrorless cameras, Blackmagic cameras, and more.
ML1 LED on camera light provides diverse special effects for a rich picture
As mentioned above, ML1 has three modes. CCT mode supports color temperature changes from 3000K to 6500K. HSI mode supports RGB color at a range of 0° to 360° to meet your needs for different color illumination effects. For example, the illumination of super cold white bright, and police siren effect strobes and alternates blue and red styles. The tester in the video with one hand holding this RGB camera light demonstrates the various effects on the face within an arm's length. You can see that it is very bright and many styles convert, making the whole picture rich and full. This is because ML1 has 90 pieces of LEDs and a color rendering index of 95+, being astonishingly powerful. What’s more, the different modes of switching back and forth are also very fast and simple.
