NEEWER Basics Magnetic Auxiliary Light 1.3W
Product description
This compact LED fill light from NEEWER is designed to clip to the side of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for selfie and vlog recording, providing extra illumination while keeping the camera lightweight and portable. It offers adjustable colour temperatures and brightness levels to flatter skin tones and balance mixed lighting for more consistent footage.
Key Points
The unit features three colour modes at approximately 2800 K, 4500 K and 6500 K, together with three brightness steps, allowing quick adaptation to indoor and outdoor scenes. Its magnetic side mount enables fast attachment and repositioning on either side of the gimbal, making framing and screen rotation simple and unobtrusive. The design is extremely small and light, so it does not add noticeable bulk to the camera or prevent use of the battery handle.
Compactness is a primary advantage, with the light measuring 40 x 29 x 16 mm and weighing only 15 g, according to the manufacturer. Consider that the accessory is explicitly compatible only with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and related Creator accessories, so it will not attach to other devices without the matching magnetic mount.

Benefits
The soft, even output from the LEDs helps reduce harsh shadows and flatten skin, which is useful for close-up talking-head shots and quick social media clips. The colour temperature options make it straightforward to match ambient light or introduce a warmer tone when required. For creators on the move, the small footprint and magnetic quick-mount system mean you can change sides or remove the light in seconds, keeping the shooting flow uninterrupted. 🎥
Battery performance is flexible. With lower brightness settings the run time extends substantially, and at full power the manufacturer states around 1.5 hours continuous use. Charging via USB-C allows convenient top-ups from a power bank or laptop between takes. ⚡
Usage Recommendations
Attach the magnetic mount to the Pocket 3 and then connect the light magnetically before starting a shoot, making sure the camera body and mount remain free of debris to ensure a secure fit. Use the warm 2800 K setting in tungsten interiors and 6500 K for daylight environments, adjusting brightness to avoid overexposure on pale skin tones. For longer sessions consider reducing brightness or carrying a small power bank to recharge the light between clips. 🧲.
