Portable Photography Smoke Machine with Remote

Add atmosphere to a shot without hauling in stage gear.

This handheld smoke machine gives you controlled, repeatable fog for portraits, product shots, music videos, short films, and parties. The main unit is 61mm x 59mm x 166mm and weighs 276g, so it works handheld or tucked onto set. A built-in 2500mAh battery (7.4V, dual 18650) gives up to 28 minutes of cumulative spray at full power, and a 40W max output with 36 smoke levels (6 density x 6 air volume) lets you fine-tune the look. The remote (99mm x 26.5mm x 10.5mm, 24g) connects over 2.4G up to 10m and has a 1.06-inch TFT color screen; it charges while docked to the main unit.

Why we picked it

• Fine control - 36 levels and three effect modes for consistent takes.
• Remote up to 10m - Solo shooters can adjust smoke without stepping into frame.
• Complete kit - Tubes, liquid, and a storage bag for on-location or studio work.

Good to know

Three modes: Fog for dense atmosphere, Dry Ice for low ground-hugging effects, and Steam for lighter haze. A temperature control system with multiple sensors helps prevent dry burning and overheating. The oil tank (30mm x 40mm, 54g) holds 10ml, roughly 10 minutes of continuous spray at full power. Included 60ml liquid is food-grade vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol, for use in well-ventilated spaces. The box holds 1 main unit, 1 remote, 1 shockproof oil tank, 3 bent tubes, 1 T-shaped tube, 1 straight tube, 2 nozzle cotton covers, 1 60ml liquid bottle, 1 USB Type-C cable, and 1 storage bag.
