ZHIYUN FIVERAY M20C Lighting Kit Review

If you’re looking to improve the quality of your content, improving your lighting is one of the best steps you can take. Great lighting will not only make your photos and videos look more professional, it can also add visual interest and open new doors for your creativity. The FIVERAY M20C is the latest RGB video light from ZHIYUN, a company that has been producing some of the best gimbals you can buy for years, and has made a splash with its new lighting products. 

The M20C is bright, exceptionally accurate, has long battery life, and comes with an array of effects, customizations, and, if you buy the combo kit, accessories to help you direct and shape your light in a way most of its competition simply cannot. Enhanced with clever magnets, this is a light that doesn’t exactly come cheap at $139.99 for the base kit and $169.99 with its accessory Combo Pack, but it’s more than a little impressive if you can utilize its design and features.

ZHIYUN FIVERAY M20C — Design and Features

At only 3.1 inches square, the M20C is small but mighty. It is, in fact, the smallest video light that ZHIYUN has produced yet. One of the big trends we’ve seen with its lights has been pushing the envelope on performance for price or form factor.
