Zhiyun M40

The small and very portable Zhiyun M40 360° fill light has been designed to serve creatives in a wide range of circumstances. Based on the attitude-control algorithm applied on gimbals, Zhiyun’s ‘DynaVort’ technology allows for effective heat dispersal, with smaller fans, and allows for a compact device without compromising on its 40W power. As a comparison, lights of a similar scale generally produce 5-13W. At just 320g, it really is pocket-sized and should prove an extremely useful tool for photographers and videographers working at any level. 

Yilun Liao, CEO, of ZHIYUN, said: “we are passionate about using breakthrough innovations, whether it’s with our iconic gimbals or our new FIVERAY lighting devices to simplify and reshape content creation. With several industry firsts under our belts including the M40’s DynaVort Cooling System™, our products offer full creative control and convenience for anyone wanting to experience and express their inner filmmaker.”
