ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40 40W Bi-Color Portable LED Video Light
I recently integrated the ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40 into my daily workflow to see if its small footprint truly delivers on the promise of 40W output. Throughout my testing, I focused on how this portable light handled various shooting environments, from tight indoor setups to run-and-gun outdoor interviews.
Performance & Build Quality
The build quality is impressively robust for a device weighing only 320g, feeling solid enough to handle frequent travel without worry. The inclusion of the DynaVort Cooling System is a game changer, as the integrated FOC fans keep the unit remarkably cool even when pushing the output to its maximum limit.
Day-to-Day Experience
Using the dual-wheel interface is intuitive and allows for rapid adjustments to brightness and color temperature on the fly. The PD fast charging support is a massive convenience, ensuring that even during long production days, I never found myself waiting too long to get back to full power.
This light is perfect for vloggers, mobile photographers, and videographers who need professional-grade, color-accurate output that fits in a jacket pocket.
Final Thoughts
With a stellar rating of 4.91 out of 5, the FIVERAY M40 proves that you do not have to sacrifice performance for portability. At $199.00, it is a highly recommended investment for anyone looking to level up their lighting game in 2026.
