Godox announced the MA5R, a pocket-sized magnetic device for smartphones that combines a full-color LED and a wireless power bank.
The MA5R is designed for creators on the go, and Godox calls it “the essential tool for capturing life’s moments.” The device is only 13 millimeters (0.5 inches) thick, and since it connects via MagSafe, it’s easy to remove when users want their phone to be absolutely slim.
The MA5R promises up to 220 minutes of playtime with its built-in battery, which can power the onboard lights, which cover the entire back of the device, or wirelessly charge a connected phone. Although Godox doesn’t specify the battery capacity of the MA5R, given that the company describes its wireless charging capabilities as “particularly useful in emergency situations…”, this is because it doesn’t have a very large battery. Is. The device has clearly been designed with lighting in mind.
With a color temperature ranging from 1,800 to 10,000 Kelvin, the MA5R’s main light can match a variety of scenarios and artistic goals while providing enough illumination to illuminate subjects for close-up shots. It won’t be able to impress sunlight from very far away, but it appears bright enough for interior situations and can even add a bit of color to portraits. It also has an integrated selfie light that flips to the side.
Avoiding the need for on-device controls, the MA5R can be controlled through the Godox Light app using NFC or Bluetooth, allowing users to adjust settings and lighting preferences directly from their phone.
“The Godox MA5R is a great gadget for anyone needing a portable lighting and power source, combining both functions in a sleek, compact design. Whether you’re taking photos, recording videos, or simply charging your device, the MA5R has you covered,” says the technology company.
Godox has been very busy lately, with new releases due RS60 series LEDa trio of Compact and affordable on-camera flashThe Cube-C Wireless Mic Systemand professional on-camera V100 flash Just in the last few weeks. Clearly, the company has no plans to slow down in the near future.
