Description

The VL20000P-PRO-MINI-TC is Bigblue’s tri-color take on its soda-can-size video light. Next to 6500K cool white, it adds a 5500K warm white, so you can pick the tone that suits the water and the scene. Bigblue sums it up as “Soda-Can Size. Warm Output.”

Its 32 high-intensity LEDs put out up to 20,000 lumens of cool white or 9000 lumens of warm white, in a 160° wide, evenly diffused beam with no hard edge in the frame. Each white has three levels: 20,000, 10,000 and 5000 lumens cool, or 9000, 4500 and 2250 lumens warm. Bigblue lists burn time by level: 2 hours at level III, 4 at level II and 8 at level I. Eight red LEDs add 1000 lumens of low-impact light for shy subjects.

Power comes from a self-contained BATCELL18650X7 Li-ion pack, so there’s no canister or cable. One push-button switch with a battery indicator runs every mode. The anodized aluminum body is 70 mm across, weighs 772 g in air and is tested to 100 meters.

A lantern grip handle, a 1-inch ball joint, a lanyard and a PC102A protective case come in the box. Bigblue lists the light as Tech photo and video, and recommends running a pair to cut shadows.
