Accsoon TOPRIG 100W 4-Bay NP-F Fast Charger

We recently published our review of the Accsoon TOPRIG quad bay NP-F charger. The big highlight of this unit is the large info screen. The unit is also light and compact and the top doesn’t get too warm (the bottom has metal fins which do get hot to dissipate heat).

You can check out our full review here.

Pricing for the unit is around  $45 on Amazon.

SmallRig RF 10C color flashlight

The second product that we are still testing is the SmallRig RF 10C. This compact inexpensive unit is simple but pretty cool. It is surprisingly well-built for its price and has 4 colors. While it is only a 10W unit it comes with plastic gobos (around 16 of those) which can allow the user to create a mini spotlight-like projection unit for budget shoots.

You can get the RF 10C for around $53 on Amazon.
