Tiny Light, High Power - Zhiyun Fiveray M20c Review

Zhiyun’s M20c was announced in November 2023, and after six months it is still the most powerful camera-mountable RGB LED light with special effects and light modifiers, which is no small feat for Zhiyun, a company more traditionally known for gimbals. The fact that the M20c also comes with a diffuser, barn doors, a grid, and a removable cage that has three built-in cold shoe mounts for additional accessories makes it appealing as an upgrade or supplement as all other lights with this feature set are significantly smaller as not as bright, such as Aputure’s significantly smaller and lower wattage MCs.
