Hobolite Iris Overview
By Photo’s Dany Serota
With a stylish retro-inspired look, Hobolite introduces the Iris Bi-Color LED Light Jungle Edition as a palm-sized lighting solution for content creators. Its design, graced by Hobolite’s faux-leather details, features a clear LCD screen, an easy-to-use knurled control knob, and NFC tap technology for quick app control. One of the most elegant pocket lights available due to its simple and compact vintage body, the Iris is versatile thanks to its 20-45 adjustable lens and bi-color punch. With a built-in rechargeable battery, the light is small enough to be taken almost anywhere, at any time. All this makes the Iris the perfect tool for image makers who want to add a retro aesthetic to their productions without giving up essential lighting features.
Jungle Edition The Iris includes an adjustable lens, a frosted dome, a USB-C charging cable, and a pouch for protection. The dome softens the output of the Iris by dispersing the light, while the lens modifies the fixture’s beam spread. Giving you all the essential accessories you need, this kit also includes a Fresnel lens, a set of four colored gel filters, an aperture ring, and a ball head cold shoe adapter for mounting the light directly to your camera. Versatile Bi-Color Performance Go from cool to warmer tones and everywhere in between, and find the right illumination level for your scenes. The Iris is aimed at content creators, videographers, and photographers alike. It suits any small lighting setup that requires flexible and intuitive features.

Benefitting from the brand’s user-friendly magnetic mount system, these compact and lightweight accessories easily attach or detach from the light. Colored Gels Compatible with the separately available magic lens, four included colorful modifiers enhance your scenes with the brand’s golden hour, blue hour, spring pastel, and aurora gel filters. Onboard & App Control You can control the Iris onboard or remotely via Bluetooth using the Hobolite app from up to 65.6′ away.
