In collaboration with CineD, SmallRig has introduced the OrBrella FM 60B Foldable LED Video Light, an innovative umbrella-style lighting solution that can be assembled in approximately 15 seconds. This fixture incorporates a main light that shines through the umbrella and features detachable LED panels on eight collapsible arms. According to Johnnie Behiri, co-founder of CineD, it delivers soft, diffused illumination without the need for numerous modifiers. With a bi-color output of 60 watts and green/magenta adjustments for skin tone enhancement, it folds down to 13.4 inches and weighs less than 2.9 pounds. It offers power via a built-in V-mount battery plate and USB-C. The crowdfunding campaign is currently active at $169.99 for 43 days, with shipping set to commence in January, and 31 units have already been sold.
