Amazing Ring Light!
The media could not be loaded. Pros:1) It comes with all the essentials inside. You get a stand for the light itself, phone mounts as well as camera mounts, a very good manual and also a guide for the stand.2) You get a carrying bag for the light and the cables which is also very nice to see, and on the sides there are zippers holding foam for protection.3) The case also has 2 spots from where you can carry it. There are normal handles as well as a sleeve (just liek a laptop bag) which is appreciated for easier handling.4) The phone holder as well as the ball head are well made, and as shown in the video, the ball head has no problem holding a camera.5) The cables are all very good as well, and it is nice to see a beefy power supply.6) The stand was also very easy to use. It is very simple to set up and once it is set up, it is sturdy enough to hold both the ring light and a camera without any problems.7) The ring light itself is amazingly built, It is very easy to remove the diffusers which is very good to see as if they break, you can easily replace them.8) The LCD screen is also very welcomed and it shows everything very easily. You also have a backlight so if it's pitch black around you, you can easily turn it on.(9) There are other features as well like the group feature, wireless feature, brightness levels and also a channel feature.)9) The brightness knob is very smooth to use. It has a good amount of brightness difference between 1% and 100% so you can easily fine tune to your liking.10) It is also very easy to change the colour temperature. As shown in the video, you can choose between 3000K and 5800K so you also have a pretty wide range of temperature11) There is also (as mentioned before) a button to toggle between 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% which makes it easy to adjust if you're filming and don't have access to the back of the light.12) There is also a group button, which allows to change between a few different groups and save presets on them by changing brightness and/or colour temperature prior to a shoot. Then you can easily toggle between them through a press of a button (shown in the video)13) The channel feature is also nice to have. If you have more than 1 ring light, you can put them on different channels so they don't interfere with each other, which might cause a problem.14) And lastly there's the wireless button. I unfortunately couldn't test this either since I only had 1 ring light, but you should be able to change the ring lights from 1 ring light only wirelessly.15) There is a good amount of LED's behind the diffuser as well so light is not a problem at all.Cons:Till now, I haven't found any cons, but if I do, I will be sure to update!

Large and bright!
I've had this light for 6 weeks now, and been using it fairly regularly.The light:This circular LED light is 1.7 kilograms of very configurable and powerful lighting.The light is strongly built and doesn't flex while I was handling it. The controls "click" firmly and don't "false-click" when I pushed them.The output of the settings screen is illuminated blue so that you can still see the screen when the light is on, and the rear is in darkness.I found at skimming angles to the screen I couldn't see the display - but it was nearly fully side on! So you may want to move it a foot away from the walls of your studio to ensure you can see the settings clearly.It can be controlled in a group of other lights wirelessly to ensure you can rapidly adjust your light rig without endlessly running around.The light can be on any of 48 channels, and 5 groups - and will follow lights on the same channel and group.This means this light really comes into its own when you have several lights in your studio - main, catch, fill lights and so on...Power:The power adaptor (transformer) powers the light with a safe 15 volt, 4 amp direct-current supply. So if you knock this light over, and it lands in a water bowl, or knocks over glasses of beverage, you're not going to be in danger from mains power. The specs say it's a 55 watt supply - nice and powerful.Tripod:The tripod is great for the light and mobile phone set up. Giving a secure and stable frame.For the heavier DSLR's with a large prime and affixed audio equipment - and especially when all that is mounted at off-axis angles - you may want to consider a wider-based tripod. You're likely to already have several.Photos.In the following photographs, I've focused on the details of the light rather than showing it in the studio so that you can see its construction quality and individual features the light has, as well as the light output based entirely on the single light source of the light.A: The hot-shoe connectors from left to right. The mobile phone holder. This can rotate horizontally or vertically, and has a holder that you screw tight around your phone - this makes it much easier to remove your phone because you're not fighting a spring that can (has for me!) launched my phone across the floor.There's a little adjustment screwdriver for the top of the tripod. Next is a long straight mount, finally on the right is a ball joint mount for adjusting the angle of the phone/camera.B: The power supply, instructions, quick-start for the tripod, and feedback card.C: The main controls.On the top are two little hole mounts for a mirror, in-between is a hot-shoe holder. Below that is the main control box.On the left are the power switch, and the 15 volts DC plug (for the supplied power pack). Then the main screen (blue glow) below which are the control buttons for pre-sets and radio controls. Finally on the right is the spinner and select button for changing the brightness and colour warmth in small increments.D: The tripod base.The fold down base design gives good stability without being a lot of weight. An extra set of arms for each leg flex out and prevent the base from spinning on its access - which is needed for a circular light. The base poles have little rubber feat at the end of each one.E: The travel bag.This has pockets within to hold the light, power supply and cables without having them banging around.It comes with a shoulder strap, and handle for holding while walking. The material is canvas, and well constructed with strong stitching and seams.F: Here is the light mounted on the tripod, with the mobile phone attached in the horizontal position. (It can be vertical if required).The tripod is shown at it's MINIMUM height, using the screw handles just below the controller box situated under the circle light, you can stretch out the light to double it's height.G: The light can be angled down more than 90 degrees past vertical. ( a little past horizontal).As you can see the tripod is comfortably holding the light in place without over balancing. Rather important to know!H: Here is a DSLR camera mounted on the ball head hot-shoe mount.There's plenty of space for the camera, battery pack, and audio devices within the circle.You will likely need to use a wider-stance tripod when loading it with so much hardware if you plan on tilting the camera and light downwards and off axis.I: The view from the rear of the light when a DSLR and audio equipment is mounted to the light.As you can see there's plenty of room for all the hardware, and space to get your hands around the camera to make adjustments, and modify cables.J: A close up of a mobile phone mounted using the fixed head hot-show mount, as a comparison with the previous DSLR photos.The phone is an S7 Sam-sung.K and L: Here is the light's colour warmth comparison images with the camera taking the photos set to manual white-point so that you can see the colour cast at both ends of the light's colour warmth abilities.K is set to the very warm 3000 Kelvin, and L is set to cold setting of 5800 Kelvin. The colour reproduction looks good.M and N: Here is the light's brightness with the camera taking the photos set to manual exposure so you can compare the light output properly. M is where the light is set to the lowest brightness setting (1%) , and N is set to full 100% brightness.O: For an interesting effect the diffuser is removable in 4 parts. Revealing a "star studded" array of two sets of cold and warm LED's.

An Excellent Ring Light
The media could not be loaded. I wanted a new lighting solution to simplify video-making (simple head-shot videos for YouTube). This light perfectly fits my requirements.The light is bright at its 100% setting and continuously adjustable in 100 units down to 1%. At 100%, it was brighter than I expected and will more than replace my 35W 5500K compact Fluorescent in softbox. The diffuser gives a good diffuse light. It also has a range of color temperatures that work well with my camera's auto white balance control (I'm no pro!).The unit is easy to set up, to use and to store, with its own carry case. It comes with a light stand which is pretty sturdy - though not rock-solid - this is not pro-tier kit.I particularly like the five channel presets.The unit also comes with a cold-shoe to ball-head adapter, a cold-shoe to 1/4" rigid adapter, and a smartphone holder that can rotate the phone. I'd happily use the adapters for my phone. They do also support a mid range 3/4 mirrored camera (700D), although I plan to use the camera on the tripod and shoot through the ring. With the weight, the stand is not quite solid.The quality of the light seems good, with no discernible color cast in my videos, but I have no means to test it. If it is at the 97CRI that the manufacturer claims, that's astonishing for the money.The build is what I would expect of a high-end consumer item, rather than a pro item. It's a good quality plastic construction and the stand is light-weight steel, I think. These are all consistent with the price.I think this will make my life easier and is well-worth the money. As long as you are not expecting a rugged metal build to professional quality, I expect you'll be very happy with this, and for a more rigid setup, you can always use a more solid tripod.
