Low Light Attachment Setup Guide

Welcome to your SmallRig P96 LED Light from The Minimal Studio.

This light has been included to help improve low-light footage and create softer, brighter video recordings throughout your event.

The setup is intentionally very simple and can be attached directly to the top of the camcorder using the included Mounting Screw or to the top of a tripod.

A charging cable is included with your hire.

Turning the light on

Press the Power Button once to turn the light on.

Press it again to turn the light off.

Small indicator lights beside the Power Button will display the remaining battery level.

Adjusting brightness

Once switched on, rotate the Settings Dial to adjust brightness.

  • Turn one direction for brighter light
  • Turn the other direction for softer light

We generally recommend starting lower and increasing brightness gradually depending on the environment.

Softer lighting often creates a more flattering, nostalgic look on camcorder footage.

Attaching the light

To attach the light to the camcorder:

  1. On the camcorder, open the latch between the zoom and the lens.
  2. Slide the Mounting Screw through the metal clasps.
  3. Tighten the screw underneath until the light feels secure
  4. Adjust the angle of the light if needed

The light should sit firmly on top of the camera without wobbling.

Warm & cool light modes

The light includes both a warm and a cool light.

To switch between modes: Press the Settings Dial once, rotate the dial to move between warmer and cooler tones and then press the dial again to lock in your chosen mode.

Once selected, you can continue adjusting brightness normally.

Charging the light

The light charges via the Charging Port located on the side of the unit.

A charging cable is included with your hire.

We recommend charging the light overnight before longer events or multi-day use.

A few helpful tips

Softer lighting usually creates the nicest camcorder footage

Try avoiding extremely bright lighting directly in guests’ faces

Warm lighting tends to feel softer and more nostalgic

Lower brightness settings often look more natural than maximum brightness

The light works best for:evening receptions, indoor dinners, speeches, dance floor footage and low-light candid moments.
