Question: How does a stabilizer work?

A stabilizer is a device that is designed to hold a camera or other filming devices to prevent it from shaking during video shooting. The stabilizer senses disruptive motion by the built-in gyroscope and compensates for camera instability by the force of the three motors.
Question: What can we use a stabilizer for? How?

We can use the stabilizer when shooting videos. It can compensate for the unwanted shaking movement. For the specific operation, please check ZHIYUN official website https://www.zhiyun-tech.com/contact/en For detail product information, please check Zhiyun-tech on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

Q: What are the main upgrades of the ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40 SE over the CINEPEER CM25?

The M40 SE brings two major upgrades in brightness and accessories:

Significantly higher brightness – Each LED bead on the M40 SE features an independent lens for better light concentration, reaching a peak illuminance of 17,100 Lux – roughly 5x that of the CINEPEER CM25. This makes it easy to handle complex scenes like night shots and backlit conditions.
Better accessories – In addition to the included hard‑shell softbox, a silicone softbox is optionally available for different levels of diffusion. Both softboxes are compatible with the CINEPEER CM25 and the ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40.

Q: What’s the difference between the ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40 SE and the ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40?

Compared to the FIVERAY M40, the M40 SE features targeted optimizations in design and included accessories:

Lighter and more portable – The M40 SE weighs only 250g, lighter than the FIVERAY M40 (320g), making it even easier to carry for daily use and solo creators.
Ready‑to‑use accessories – The M40 SE comes with a clip‑on hard‑shell softbox, so you get soft, flattering light right out of the box.

Q: Can a complete beginner with no lighting experience quickly learn to use the FIVERAY M40 SE?

Absolutely. The M40 SE has dual dials for direct color temperature and brightness control – no menus to navigate. Just turn the dial and you’re good to go.

Q: How good is the lighting performance of the FIVERAY M40 SE?

The M40 SE is an excellent choice for portraits and everyday short videos. The included softbox effectively softens the light, ensuring natural skin tones and makeup, with vivid clothing colors that don’t look washed out. The 250g lightweight body is easy to place on a desk or hold in hand, taking up little space – perfect for close-up shooting like beauty, fashion lookbooks, and product photography.

Q: Is the FIVERAY M40 SE noisy during operation?

The M40 SE runs very quietly even at high brightness. Its electronic back-pressure cooling system efficiently dissipates heat while keeping operating noise extremely low – no interference with livestream audio or on-set recording. Combined with a high color rendering index (CRI ≥95, TLCI ≥97), it accurately reproduces true colors, making it ideal for e-commerce livestreams, course recordings, interviews, and other scenarios that demand both silence and color accuracy.

Q: What’s the battery life of the FIVERAY M40 SE?

The M40 SE is powered by two high-performance 18650 batteries.

Light use (25% power output, e.g. short videos): up to 3 hours

Full power (100% output, e.g. livestreaming): approximately 44 minutes

The M40 SE also supports PD fast charging, meeting the needs for outdoor shooting and long creative sessions.

Q: Does it overheat when used at high brightness for long periods?

No. The M40 SE features the proprietary electronic back-pressure cooling system, which efficiently dissipates heat, keeping the body cool and stable even after extended high-brightness operation.

Q: What shooting scenarios is the FIVERAY M40 SE suitable for?

The M40 SE works well for selfie fill light, personal livestreaming, food vlogging, night portraits, and product photography. Its high brightness, light weight, portability, and ease of use make it a great fit for beginners in photography, short-form video creators, livestream hosts, and photo enthusiasts.

Q: Do I need to buy the softbox separately? What’s included in the official package?

The M40 SE comes standard with a hard-shell softbox – ready to use. The silicone softbox is an optional accessory, available separately if needed. The included hard-shell softbox is easy to install, resistant to yellowing and aging, and highly durable for daily use. The silicone softbox provides even softer, more diffused light. You can choose either version or use both flexibly depending on your creative needs. The official M40 SE standard kit includes: ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40 SE, hard-shell softbox, Type-C cable, and quick start guide.

Q: What pocket lights does ZHIYUN currently offer? What are the buying advantages of each?

ZHIYUN currently has five pocket lights on the market: CINEPEER CM15, CINEPEER CM25, ZHIYUN FIVERAY M20 series, ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40, and the new ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40 SE.
