Dracast X Series M80D LED Monolight V-Mount Kitcontinues to expand its X series by introducing the V-mount Dracast X Series M80D LED Monolight V-Mount Kit– crafted as a conveniently portable and versatile 80W point-source LED. The M80D provides high brightness, color accuracy, and different control and power options. The fixture's COB LED makes use of a daylight CCT, while offering an array of creative lighting effects. Another benefit of this light is the ability to control one or multiple X series LEDs simultaneously. The light is a great choice for video production of all kinds, from studio and interview setups to online content creation. It can be powered by the included AC power adapter or by an optional battery when AC current is unavailable in the field, thanks to the M80D's included V-mount plate. An additional indication of portability is the inclusion of a nylon carry-bag. Store or take the light wherever you need it, whether you're shooting in the studio or on location.

The M80D features color temperature of 5600K allowing you to shoot outdoors or to match other daylight fixtures.

Even though it has a compact form factor, the X series monolights deliver exceptional brightness. When equipped with its included reflector, the M80D's output is capable of reaching up to 18,873 lux at 3.3'.

The light is dimmable from 0-100% while maintaining CRI/TLCI scores of 96, indicating a high degree of accuracy in color reproduction for true-to-life shots. Not only color accurate, the light comes with different lighting effects that can be quickly selected onboard or using the DRX app.

Adjust settings with the local controls on the rear of the head with an LCD display or with the DRX app for iOS and Android. You can fully control light settings such as dimming, CCT, and lighting effects from up to 100' away.

One of the light's enhancements is group control capability, whereby you can make color and dimming adjustments to a single master light and other lights in a group will follow suit. Basically, the M80D can work with other X series fixtures to expand your lighting possibilities. This includes the brand's wide range of X series LED panels and tube lights available separately in different models and sizes.

The included AC adapter operates on a voltage range from 90 to 240 VAC, so it can be used anywhere in the world.

The included V-mount battery plate is ideal for on-the-go lighting situations in which mains power is unavailable.

The durable aluminum housing is supported by a yoke with a standard 5/8" receiver for fast and easy mounting on separately available light stands. Finally, the light's Bowens accessory mount gives it access to an extensive variety of optional light modifiers.

Q: 1. Is this case durable enough and within size/weight limits to check when flying on planes?

A: It is very durable, but not at all within weight limits. We got two Pelican Air cases and fit everything in them, and each is now under the limit and portable. But the case the kit came in took two people to lift.

Q: 6. If these were used to light artwork on smooth white illustration board, would there be a noticeable spotty pattern from the LEDs or will they need diffusion?

A: Yes, David is correct. For example, if you had barndoors on this light, where the door shadow was cast on the wall, you would see a noticeable point-source effect. But without barndoors, and without a shadow to create problems, it should be fine. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 7. Can I use this light for wedding Reception?
