Nanlite Pico LED Mini Pocket Light Black – RGBW Pocket Light with Flip Yoke and Built-In Battery

The Nanlite Pico is a compact RGBW pocket light built for creators who need portable, precise lighting. This Black model includes a flip yoke, an integrated 1500mAh battery, and an intuitive control layout. It delivers a wide color range, reliable color accuracy, and a set of practical accessories — all designed for vlogs, portraits, food shots, street work, and creative video projects.

Compact design and everyday portability

The Pico fits in your hand and slips into a pocket. It weighs 130g and features a slim body that travels easily. Because it offers one-handed operation and a 1.28-inch round display, you can adjust settings quickly on the go. In addition, the unit’s clean aesthetic makes it discreet on camera, and the pico is also available in Midnight Blue and Mint Blue if you want a different look.

Color control and creative effects

The pico gives you broad color control for precise looks. It supports a 2700K–7500K CCT range and includes ±150 G/M green-magenta adjustment to fine-tune skin tones or match ambient light. You can access 36,000 colors via 0–360° hue and 0–100% saturation control, and choose from 14 built-in lighting effects for dynamic scenes such as music video shots or stylized portraits.

Performance and light quality

Despite its size, the pico delivers notable output. At 5600K it produces 4,211 lux at 0.3 m. The Nebula C4 light engine and RGBW LED chips provide refined white light and consistent color tones. Color rendering is excellent with average CRI and TLCI values of 95, and TM-30 metrics of Rf 92 and Rg 99, ensuring natural-looking results for both photo and video.

Mounting, positioning, and diffusion

The pico includes a 12-step flip yoke that adjusts in 30° intervals, allowing precise tilt positions. You can mount it via the 1/4"-20 thread on tripods or ball heads, attach the included cold shoe adapter to a camera for fill light, or use the magnetic base to stick it to metal surfaces for hands-free setups. For softer light, the snap-on magnetic diffuser is included and installs quickly.

Controls and wireless options

The interface centers on a simple knob plus two buttons, optimized for the circular screen to make parameter changes fast and intuitive. Moreover, built-in Bluetooth connects with the Nanlink App 2.0 so you can control lighting wirelessly and apply firmware updates as needed.

Battery, runtime, and charging

The pico contains a 1500mAh lithium battery. Runtime varies depending on output: at 100% brightness you get about 1 hour 20 minutes, while at 1% brightness you can reach up to 6 hours 30 minutes. The real-time battery display keeps you informed during shoots. When you need to recharge or extend runtime, the pico supports USB-C charging and can run from a power bank (charger and power bank not included).

Ideal use cases

Use the pico for a variety of shooting scenarios:

• Close-up food photography — balance ambience and restore natural tones.
• Vlogging — instant fill that is bright and compact for run-and-gun shooting.
• Creative portraits — produce cinematic color and controlled highlights.
• Street dance and music videos — apply striking color and dynamic effects to enhance visuals.
