Godox has introduced the MA5R ($49), a pocket-sized LED light designed to make life easier for creators on the go. While it doesn’t break entirely new ground, it combines two practical features – full-colour lighting and a magnetic wireless power bank – into a compact form factor.
For mobile photographers and content creators, the MA5R offers a good solution for both lighting and charging on the go. And while other pocket LED lights with charging capabilities exist, this one doesn’t require a cable to do it.
Slim, Magnetic, and Portable
At just 13mm thick, the MA5R is slim enough to slide into your pocket. Its magnetic attachment system keeps it securely in place. Whether you’re snapping selfies or lighting up a shot, it’ll stay stuck to your phone. This portability makes it a perfect companion for spontaneous adventures.
But the MA5R isn’t just a light. It also doubles as a magnetic wireless power bank, delivering phone charging wherever you are. It has a runtime of at least 220 minutes in light mode, So you should never be left in the dark.
As well as the obvious benefit of lighting up your shot, it’s an ideal light for other uses, too. Astrophotographers, for example, can use it to see where they’re going at night. And they won’t need to carry extra power banks to charge their phone. Also great for photographers who go camping to catch that early sunrise.
Selfie-Ready Lighting
Godox has added a dedicated selfie mode to help ensure flawless lighting for your close-ups. Whether you’re documenting your travels or creating content for social media, the MA5R helps you look your best.
It offers an impressive adjustable colour temperature range, from a warm 1800K to a cool 10,000K. Combined with full-colour lighting, it gives users the flexibility to create the perfect ambience for any setting or mood.
The MA5R pairs with the Godox Light App, giving users control via NFC and Bluetooth. From adjusting brightness to selecting precise colours, all settings are just a tap away. For mobile photographers, videographers, or anyone needing reliable lighting and charging on the go, the Godox MA5R is a potential game-changer.

The Godox MA5R is available in six colours – Red, White, Pink, Green, Black and Blue. So, you can match it to your phone (or phone case) or personal style. All six colours are available to pre-order now for $49. Shipping begins in the coming weeks.
