GVM Great Video Maker LED Ring Light 5600K Selfie Light, Smartphone Video Rig & Phone Video Stabilizer for Camera, Smartphone, Makeup, YouTube Setup, Self-Portrait Shooting with Bluetooth

I purchased this because I am obsessed with taking photos and I am always looking for a decent light source. This product met my needs and I am happy that I purchased it before the holidays so I can finally get photos of the family with good lighting.Packaging:The product comes in a normal amazon box and another product box enclosed. Take care while opening the box so you do not damage the product.Lights:The lights that this has on it are intense, but they are amazing for its compact size. They allow for easy adjustments with little to no effort.Battery:I have had no issues with battery life, the battery is easy to charge and it lasts all day for me.Heat:Due to this being a LED light the device can provide an incredible amount of light with no problems of overheating.Quality:The product is sturdy, and made well, the hand grips allow for an easy grip and it will connect to Bluetooth without an issue.Things to note:Follow the instructions when pulling it out of the box. Careful when changing the light covers and ensure that you do not damage the lights. If you do not have a tripod, I would suggest purchasing one because it will allow you to utilize this to its full potential. Allow the battery to fully charge prior to use and you should get plenty of time for photos.Overall, I am satisfied and think this was a fair cost for the product. I am rarely ever able to be in our family photos because I am usually the one taking the photos. Now, that problem is solved because I can use the Bluetooth and set up the lights and camera as needed and get a full family photo!

Very useful and great for video lighting

The media could not be loaded. This is built perfectly to fit my iPhone 15, I was able to mount it on to my ring light and also on other tools I had like a flexible tripod. Both videos and pictures quality increased by a lot! It is so easy to use, the weight is so light that you can use it for a long time and it will continue to function just perfect! My video and pictures will show you before and after!

This video/photo rig for your phone is great to get soft even lighting for content. The handles are comfortable and it is easy to move smoothly over a subject. It has the ability to screw into a tripod mount which can come in handy. The battery does not last a terribly long time, but you have the option to plug it into a power cable.

Performance: Used it at a an outdoor graduation that took place in the evening. While other families struggled to get decent photos with just the flash from their camera phones, we THRIVED with this light and got great photos. I also use it for work as a makeup artist. I can get great videos while moving around my clients and not having shadows on their faces while recording (versus trying to get same video while using a stationary ring light).Battery: I can’t review on battery life. I don’t use it continuously.Size/Portability: Not bad. I can carry it in a tote bag and it’s super lightweight.Ease of use: pretty easy. Just turn on. I wish there was a way to use the built-in remote to snap pics so I can keep both hands on the handles, versus having to remove one hand in order to tap my phone to take the photo.I also wish the cell phone holder was wider to accommodate thicker phones (my phone has a case) to reduce the risk of the phone falling off.

Works great with some modifications.I bought this to use in conjunction with my Samsung Galaxy S 24 Ultra. I take 4K video with my phone in dark buildings and it was a massive pain using the phone in one hand and a light in the other. This rig solves both problems. The plastic covers over the LED bars also help to prevent the LED flicker in my videos that I was getting with my flashlights. I do highly recommend buying additional batteries if you are going to use it for anything like me. The included battery is very small and you get no warning before the light goes out.I did have to modify it a bit though because of the size of my phone. The LED ring has the phone holder dead center which does not work with a large phone like a Samsung Galaxy Ultra as it presses the power button so I needed to make a custom mount. I bought a Arca Swiss Plate in combination with a Manfrotto Universal Smartphone Clamp to move the holder over to better suite my needs with a large phone. It's very sturdy and holds everything secure. I highly recommend.Here are the link to all the extras I bought to go with the light ring...FirstPower NP-F750 Battery 2-Pack: https://amzn.to/4aZoy3VFotasy 200mm Arca Swiss Plate: https://amzn.to/4asxS0xManfrotto Universal Smartphone Clamp: https://amzn.to/3JkiWWfSLOW DOLPHIN 1/4 Inch Hot Shoe Mount: https://amzn.to/3Jm2i8I

The media could not be loaded. Wow!! This light is amazing! It definitely makes photos/videos a lot better! Lighting makes a big difference! I love how you can adjust the lighting on this, if you want it bright or less bright. It also comes with an orange diffuser! It's not too heavy, easy to carry around! I always create content , taking pics and videos so this is easy to take around. Another great thing is that, there are 2 slots for batteries so you have longer battery life. They also sell bigger extended batteries too! Easy to attach your phone or camera- whichever you like to use. I definitely recommended this and will consider to purchase as gifts!

Products works great but wish it came with instructions. Found it difficult to figure out how to connect the phone to it. This resulted in the mount that connects the phone to the product braking because it wouldn't disconnect. Great it is secure but find it too secure. Had to purchase a new mount so phone can be securely connected to product.
