Zhiyun LED Fiveray M20 Pocket Light

Zhiyun LED Fiveray M20 Pocket Light – 20W, 40-minute Runtime and High CRI

The Zhiyun LED Fiveray M20 is a compact 20W pocket light designed for filmmakers who need portable, high-quality illumination. It features a built-in battery, professional dimming, and supports simultaneous charging and lighting via PD-compatible USB-C power sources.

Key light quality and output

The M20 reduces flicker and expands color temperature options for more accurate results on camera. It delivers high color fidelity with CRI ≥95 and TLCI ≥97. At 0.5 m and 4300K the peak illuminance measures 2010 LUX, giving you a bright and reliable fill or accent light for small setups.

Cooling and design

Zhiyun equips the M20 with the DynaVort Cooling System Mark II. This cooling design slims down the heat sink thickness while optimizing airflow to reduce drag, helping the unit maintain performance in sustained use.

Mounting, accessories and expandability

The light supports a dual-side extension bracket and a cold shoe, enabling attachment of individual diffusers, honeycomb grids, and 4-leaf barn doors, or combinations of these modifiers for diffused, focused, or shaped lighting. Note: those modifiers are included only in the Combo version.

Moreover, the M20 series works with dedicated magnetic extension accessories. These accessories allow the light to magnetize to tables, walls, and even vehicles. Combined with camera adapters and extension poles, the M20 adapts to a wide range of shooting scenarios.

For larger setups, the M20 allows daisy-chaining, making it easier to orchestrate a multi-light professional lighting ensemble.

Controls and creative features

The M20 offers 10 creative lighting effects and a music mode. You can adjust speed and temperature in synchronized steps using tactile dual dials, which provide hands-on, immediate control on set.

Battery life and charging

The built-in battery runs for a solid 40 minutes at full 20W output. It also supports PD protocol power banks and charging adapters, so you can charge while continuing to use the light. This makes it practical for extended shoots where continuous power is required.
