From photography novices to mastering certain photography skills, I am most grateful to the photographers and friends around me. Among them, there are not only senior photography enthusiasts, but also photography industry leaders, and more video creators. They are in my photography. The road of growth is like a beacon to guide me.
In the early days of learning photography, I almost asked all photography friends the same question, that is, how to take good proofs and take beautiful pictures, and the answers they gave were basically the same, that is, learning photography is playing with light, just playing with proofs. It will be beautiful naturally. In the past, what I said to them about playing with light was just a general concept. I simply thought that as long as the intensity of the light was sufficient.
Until recently I started with the Smogg RGB LED fill light Pix M160, I only learned some of the essence of photography playing with light, reasonable use of light sources can not only make the proofs clear and transparent, but also make the proofs more beautiful and beautiful! On this occasion, I would like to give everyone a look at the Smogg Pix M160 fill light.

The charging port adopts the current mainstream type-c interface, which is also designed at the border of the fill light. At the same time, Smaller also added a USB port that supports reverse charging on the side of the charging port, which means this This type of fill light can be used as a mobile power source for emergency power supply for mobile phones.
When shooting, the placement direction of the fill light will be different because of the different objects being photographed. When lighting some tall items, the fill light needs to be erected, which will increase the fill light area; while filling light for large items requires Use the fill light horizontally. The bottom and sides of the Smogg Pix M160 frame are equipped with a 1/4-20 screw hole, which means that this fill light not only supports horizontal installation, but also supports vertical installation, so that users can cope with different shooting scenes.

The appearance of Smaller Pix M160 fill light not only makes photography easier, but also makes the proofs beautiful. The addition of 36,000 different colors also provides photographers with more creativity and more possibilities. However, this product is not without its shortcomings.
