Three models are available: Pocket (ML120), Mini (ML240) and Midi (ML360), each differing in the quality of light and battery duration. Each can be mounted with existing Manfrotto supports via standard ø‚ ¼ threading on the bottom of the mounts. They are light and extremely portable and have double flash shoe universal attachments.
