SmallRig 5796 RM 03 Macro Photography LED Video Light Kit (2 Pack)

The SmallRig RM 03 Macro Photography LED Light 2-Light Kit is designed for close-up work where precision lighting makes all the difference. Each compact light features a flexible, reinforced arm that holds its position reliably, allowing you to place light exactly where it’s needed—ideal for tight macro setups.

With five 3W LEDs and selectable colour output (red, green, blue, cold white, and warm white), the RM 03 gives you both creative and corrective lighting options. A five-step brightness control helps you fine-tune exposure without disturbing your setup, while the adjustable beam angle (4–32°) provides anything from a tight spotlight to broader illumination.

Built for real-world use, the aluminium alloy body and IP54-rated construction make it suitable for both studio and location work. The integrated 2000mAh battery delivers up to 140 minutes of runtime, keeping your setup cable-free and efficient.

Who this is for

Macro photographers, product shooters, and content creators who need precise, adjustable lighting in small spaces or on location.

At a glance

• 2-light macro LED kit with flexible positioning
• RGB and bi-colour output for creative control
• Adjustable 4–32° beam for tight or broad lighting
• Built-in battery for portable, cable-free use
• Multiple mounting options for versatile setups
• Includes modifiers and pattern slides for shaping light

How it work

Each RM 03 light uses a flexible metal-spring arm that can be positioned repeatedly without losing shape, making it easy to dial in consistent lighting angles across shoots.

The included spotlight lens narrows the beam for precise highlights, while the diffuser softens output for more even coverage. Four-leaf barndoors help control spill and keep light off unwanted areas—particularly useful in macro scenes where reflections and shadows need careful management.

Patterned film slides add creative textures and effects, allowing you to introduce visual interest directly in-camera rather than relying on post-production.

Mounting is handled via a combination of a heavy-duty clamp, ground stake, cold shoe, and 1/4"-20 thread, giving you flexibility whether you’re working on a desk, outdoors, or attached to a camera rig.

Why choose this kit

This isn’t just a pair of small lights—it’s a complete macro lighting solution. The combination of flexible arms, beam control, and included modifiers means you can shape light precisely without needing additional accessories. The portable, battery-powered design also makes it practical for field work or quick setups.
