I needed a ring light for starting video series for you tube channel. The box came in time and intact. Product details below:
Pros: can customize the light tone. Ranges from super white to orange color. I kept adjusting it to get the best skin tone I wanted. It¡¯s is super bright and made of quality materials. Easy to install and stable on the floor. The stand can go high or low according to my needs. Nice carrying bag. Clicker works fine and easy to pair with phone.
Cons: it only works from short distance. If it¡¯s more than 3 yards away, the effect is significantly less. Also, I didn¡¯t know how to place the phone in vertical position for the portrait mode.
Overall, it will serve me needs for the channel videos. Example shown in picture while my son was taking pictures for himself while I was turning the light on and off. The pictures are raw (using iPhone Xs Max, regular photo mode) and not edited in any way.

This is one of my favorite portrait photography tools that I own. It’s easy to assemble and set up and maneuver, and delivers great results visually. I love that I can attach my camera to the stand for hands free usage as well.

If your looking for a high quality, cheap ring light, look no further! Came with a hot shoe mount, phone adapter, and stand.
A great solution at this price point, might go with a more heavy duty one if your going to be transporting it alot.
Designed for indoor use, stand might wobble if you take it outside in the wind. Only noticeable if you had a camera or phone mounted in the hot shoe.

Rugged quality, as well as the light stand, I used for everyday small commodity photography, I bought an 18-inch ring light, I think it is too big for me, so I re-purchase the 14-inch ring light, as always, meet

I did a lot of research before finding a recommendation for a client and purchasing one for myself. It’s well made and the adjustments are far superior to others I’ve seen. It’s also larger than most. My only complaint is it tends to wobble slightly to one side where it attaches to the tripod. That might be user error though.

With the use of the light you’re able to capture the best angles of your face because light is not a barrier. It gives you the gleam in your eyes that you see on professional photography and especially very common on YouTubers and beauty gurus. Even though the instruction manual wasn’t very clear, creating a little delay in the assembly it is quite practical and easy to pack away.

This is our first experience with supplemental lighting. We use the lights for many different things. They have proven to be very useful for Zoom calls, on-line videos, meetings, public service announcements and training. Easy to use, very portable and flexible for different lighting conditions.

This light makes you or your subjects look amazing. You can use it for any of your video/photography needs, or use it as a regular room light. It enhances the way everything looks in videos and of course photos. Its easy to setup, and you can change the main color temperatures from dim to bright seamlessly. Nice long cord and convenient carrying case You’ll discover this is a higher quality stand than you would expect, and here are a few tips I’d give for people first setting up: 1. Take the black plastic protection tip off the bracket before screwing on the lamp (second knob). If you don’t take the plastic tip off, the lamp kind of leans, and it was not made to be like that. 2. To angle the lamp (the top knob) you have to use a little bit of muscle angling it, and just make sure the knob is unscrewed before trying to bend it to angle. Overall awesome lamp. Theres a little bluetooth remote shutter that comes with it you can link as well. Easy to read instructions, but otherwise extremely self explanatory.

Great hue and brightness options. Helped me take a profile pic for a school id and works wonders. No need for the professional photographer’s hands here. Awesome aesthetic design when not in use, a good set piece

This is an unbelievable light for the price. Much larger than I expected actually. Dimmer and temperature controls work well. I did notice some reviews that mentioned how light weight the stand was. This is designed for YouTube videos and very low budget productions. Suggest using a sandbag with the stand or swap it out for something beefier, If you are on a higher budget production.. The bag is canvas and sturdy. There is a zipper pocket for the accessories like the remote control, power cord, iPhone holder, etc. Very happy with this purchase.

My husband decided to launch a business selling online. His photos were terrible! Too many shadows,wash out color and detail. I brought him GVM Ring Light. Model HD- 18S. This is a large dimmable ring lamp that won’t break your bank account. Warm to cool temperature for that ambient lighting. Which you can adjust. Has camera and smartphone holder. Tripod keeps all stable when using.Carry bag is included for storage and travel. This ring light sure made his slot cars photos 100% better!

I use this light for various reason to make youtube videos, photo shoots etc and I absolutely love it. setup is easy and power cord is actually pretty long so use of an extension cord is not really needed for inside the house. Has multiply light setting so you can control the brightness which comes in handy.
I recommend anybody looking for a light to use to make videos or photography this is the light for you. It will not disappoint.

I recently got into video streaming so wanted to up my game. This wound up being a great product. The light ring gives off the perfect amount of light for a clean picture. It comes with a tripod and was easy to setup and use. Would recommend

The unit went together quickly and was easy to use. My wife was doing multiple-day 12-hour sessions each day video training and the light ran 12 hours straight, no issues, the power supply did not get hot and my wife liked the way she looked with the light. Definitely a good purchase!
