Compact on-camera LED video light

The VIJIM VL81 is a portable bi-colour LED panel built for creators who need accurate fill light on the move. It packs 81 high-efficiency beads into a 76 by 25 by 89 millimetre body weighing 0.16 kilograms and mounts via a cold shoe with three expansion shoes for accessories.

Replaces bulky panels and disposable batteries

The built-in 3000mAh lithium cell runs 150 minutes at full power or 480 minutes at minimum brightness and recharges in three hours over USB-C while the light stays on. Stepless 10 to 100 per cent dimming and 3200K to 5600K colour temperature cover warm indoor scenes and daylight balances without carrying gels or separate units.

Fits mirrorless rigs and vlogging cages

The 120-degree beam throws 850 lumens to three to six metres, and the integrated diffuser softens output for eye comfort during close work. USB-C charging means one cable powers the light and other devices, while the triple cold-shoe layout leaves room for a microphone or wireless receiver on the same bracket.

Questions about this item

What cold-shoe footprint does the VL81 need to mount on a camera?

The light measures 76 mm long, 25 mm wide and 89 mm high and weighs 0.16 kg, so it fits a standard camera cold shoe without overhang.

How do you charge the VL81 and what mistake should be avoided?

Plug a USB-C cable into the built-in Type-C port; the 3000 mAh battery takes about 3 hours to reach full charge and the light can stay on while charging.

When will the internal battery need replacement and how long does it last per charge?

At maximum brightness the 3000 mAh pack runs for 120–150 minutes; at minimum brightness it stretches to 480 minutes before a recharge is required.
