RGB-CP425-PIX INTRODUCTION

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY

Genaray's RGB-CP425-PIX is the latest addition to Genaray's RGB series of LED lights. This versatile on-camera light provides you with full CCT and RGB functionality with hue, saturation, and intensity control so you can dial up any imaginable color. Five operating modes let you accurately set color temperature, manually select any color from the 360° color wheel, and simulate the light from one of the industry-standard gels. And the RGB-CP425-PIX is loaded with 10 animated effects and 7 pixel effects that will add realism and drama to your videos.

This compact LED is so light, it won't weigh down your camera and limit your mobility. It's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and it features an array of 80 RGBAW LEDs that produce a bright and wide 120^ beam of color-accurate light. Bluetooth support pairs with Genaray's RGB Series mobile app, which provides access to even more powerful features. Use the app to create a universe of RGB-series lights that can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet from up to 33 feet away.
