Setup
The SmallRig Vibe P48 offers two primary methods for attachment to your smartphone:
- Magnetic Attachment (for MagSafe-compatible devices): Simply align the light with the MagSafe area on the back of your iPhone or MagSafe-compatible phone case. The light will instantly snap into place.
- Metal Ring Sticker Attachment (for non-MagSafe devices): For Android phones or iPhones without MagSafe, use the included metal ring sticker. Clean the back of your phone or phone case thoroughly. Peel off the adhesive backing from the metal ring and firmly press it onto the desired location on your device. Once the ring is securely attached, the selfie light can be magnetically attached to this ring.
To charge the device, connect the provided USB-A to USB-C charging cable to the light's USB-C port and a compatible USB power source. The light features an 850mAh polymer lithium battery, providing up to 90 minutes of continuous full-power use.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SmallRig Vibe P48, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the light. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which may damage the surface.
- Storage: Store the light in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: To preserve battery health, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to approximately 50% every three months.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SmallRig Vibe P48, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Light not turning on: Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect it to a power source using the USB-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
- Magnetic attachment is weak or not holding:
- For MagSafe-compatible devices, ensure there is no obstruction between the light and your phone/case.
- If using the metal ring sticker, verify it is securely attached to a clean, flat surface on your phone or case. Ensure the sticker is not peeling or damaged.
- Thick phone cases may interfere with magnetic strength. Consider using a thinner case or attaching the metal ring directly to the phone.
- Light output is inconsistent or flickering: This may indicate a low battery. Recharge the device fully. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
