Outstanding Tripod
If you’re a person who likes to be on camera and likes to look good and be heard clearly this device is for you. What you get with this, an adjustable light with rechargeable battery, adjustable tripod, microphone, wireless shutter remote and the USB charging cable. Doing video calls using your mobile with this thing is a breeze. The phone holder was able to accommodate my Note 20 plus fairly easily. The tripod legs can be expanded into 5 different positions to adjust the height and they are also reinforced with metal so they will not break easily. Your mobile device will be about 9 inches tall from the flat surface. The ball mount will do miracles with your device, you can pretty much position it to any vertical or horizontal position. The light is where this thing shines. With the light on, the clarity of your image is very noticeable. Brightness can be adjusted from 3100K to 5500K and 25 different color temperatures. The light is also rechargeable and will last approx 16hr according to the manufacturer. After I fully charged the battery it displayed 9hrs @ 5500k and 1% brightness. The brighter the light the more power it will consume. At the highest setting the battery will last about 1hr. All that information is easily available on the easy to read LCD screen that’s on the battery pack behind the light. Moving on to the microphone. When we do any video calls or recording it is very important to be heard as clearly as possible. The microphone included in this package does exactly that, it is not perfect but it does the job very well. One of the things we notice about recording sound with mobile phones is that we sound like we're in a tin can, and the mobile mic picks up almost every background noise from your surroundings. The microphone included does a very good job masking those sounds and actually focusing on the primary voice, and the cable is very long too so you can move around easily. You also get a camera shutter that connects to the phone via Bluetooth. There are two buttons one for IOS the other for Android. They both actually worked on my android but did the same exact function. You will have to place an imaging app either to record or to take pictures, the remote will act as a start/stop or camera shutter. It is very easy to use and to pair with your mobile device. Overall this product is very useful and beneficial for those who's on camera all the time. It is easy to use and is travel friendly and it doesn't take much space and is very light and its functionality is outstanding.

Great for everyday video calls only; Great light!
For those looking to take their video conferencing, Zoom call game to a better quality, this is a solid option. It is excellent for basic conferencing as it comes with a tripod, phone mount, lavalier mic, and the prime feature, the versatile light. First, the overall pros and cons: PROS - Light is very bright - Solid tripod; has phone clip and threaded mount included - Audio adapter is also included - Light is adjustable, has controls for both color temp and brightness, plus is rechargeable CONS - tripod clamp mouth barely fit my Galaxy Note 10+; can't imagine anything larger fitting - Remote shutter is not user friendly; took quite a bit of trial and error to get all the settings right - For newer usb-c phones with no audio jack, you absolutely need both an audio to USBC adapter,, as well as Bluetooth ear buds to hear the person you're chatting with. - Audio quality of Mic is not good -- there's almost no noise cancelling effect at all The main thing I am taking away from this is the sturdy tripod and the versatile light. It even comes with a slide one diffuser (which I found extremely necessary as the light is so bright, even on the lowest setting). A noise cancelling lav is paramount for video streaming though, so for that I would say pass on this one. However for everyday video conferencing or recording, this would be a solid 4 out of 5.

FANTASTIC LIGHT KIT FOR PHONE CAMERA WEBCAM ZOOM
DIGIPOWER - THE INSTRUCTOR - 8.5" TRIPOD PROFESSIONAL VIDEO KIT -WORK, TEACH & LEARN FROM HOME - BLACK MODEL:DP-VLX100 Best Buy Tech Insider Network FANTASTIC LIGHT KIT FOR PHONE CAMERA WEBCAM ZOOM VLOG The star of this show is the DIGIPOWER light unit. First, you can adjust the temperature between 3100 and 5500 Kelvin (yellow to pure white). Next, you can adjust the brightness output from barely there to “land a plane” levels of brightness. Finally, all these settings are easily changed from the built in display on the back. I’ve used several budget similar lights and none can hold a candle to the DIGIPOWER (pun intended) The additional accessories (tripod, remote control, lapel mic) included in the DIGIPOWER - THE INSTRUCTOR are the icing on the proverbial cake. PRO’s - Amazing Light - Included Tripod can be used with a phone or camera - Long Cord on MIC - Remote Control SETUP and USAGE Everything in the DIGIPOWER - THE INSTRUCTOR was well packaged and seems to be of reasonable quality. It was easy to test and setup everything without the instructions. To pair the remote to your phone, just go into settings and add it like any other device (it shows as a keyboard on my android). You do have to stretch the phone bracket pretty hard to fit in a medium or larger phone, but it is very secure. I was easily able to use the tripod, light, and mic to record some short videos and even take still pictures. I enjoy the longer cord to allow me to stand up while recording. The mic does a good job overall. The clip on the lapel mic does not quickly spring back into shape, so it keeps falling off my collar unless I wait a few seconds before letting go. I assume it will correct itself over time. The light takes a little force to attach to the stand, and is very secure. RECCOMENDATION The DIGIPOWER light is fantastic (did I mention that), THE INSTRUCTOR accessories are good for every day video use. The tripod is a versatile desktop unit. The phone/camera mounts is simple and sturdy. I can recommend DIGIPOWER - THE INSTRUCTOR for person vloggers, creating instructional videos, and anyone who just wants some better lighting for videos, photos, and web conferences. I will be using the kit for my daily calls at work where I can never get the lighting just right.

Great Kit for Shooting Professional Looking Videos
The Digipower Instructor, Video call kit, is a cool piece of tech for anyone that wants to add a professional feel to their videos. The Kit included a tripod, Bluetooth remote, wired 9 1/2 Ft. microphone, and a rechargeable studio light. All the components are well built and are made of premium feeling materials. The tripod is very sturdy and has two 1/4 inch threaded screws for securing your camera and the studio light.in my use it easily held my Pixel phone, iPhone and GoPro. The microphone also works great. I tested it 2 feet away from me and then at 6 feet while clipped onto my shirt. In both circumstances it made my voice sound a million times better than the built-in mic on my phone. However, it did pick up a lot of ambient noise, so make sure you are in a quiet room when using it The Bluetooth shutter button was a handy tool for starting and stopping video. It easily paired with my phone but unfortunately, did not work with my Gopro. As for the studio light, it is the best part of this kit. It has a 1500 mAh battery that lasts anywhere between one to nine hours, the color temperature is adjustable and even in its lowest setting it is still very bright. Overall this is an excellent kit and I recommend it to anyone that wants to create more professional looking videos.

Adds the right color and intensity to my video...
Adds the right color and brightness to my video projects and meetings. Adjusting the color of the LED lamp only requires a push of a button, from 3100 Kelvin (warm) to 5500 Kelvin (almost sunlight). So too, is the brightness of 112 LEDs. Can be used with or without the snap on diffuser. The tripod is a sturdy accessory for mounting the lamp and your camera or cellphone. Also included is a hi grade lapel microphone. Too often we watch video chats with poor lighting and strange shadows. The adjustable tripod puts the light where you need it and keeps it there for 16 hours thanks the the rechargeable built in batter.
