Being a content creator, lighting can be a constant struggle. It doesn't matter how great the content is or how expensive a camera you have, if it's too dark for people to see anything they're just not going to watch it.
Personally, it's an even bigger struggle because of the type of content I focus on, which revolves around cars...and inside cars, under cars, cars in a garage, cars outside, cars at night. Basically a lot of situations where lighting is a problem.
Then this light came along and it has made my life so much easier, and more importantly, my content so much better.
The best thing about this light, and the main reason for making my life easier, is just how versatile it is. There's all sorts of adjustments you can make, both mechanically and functionally.
You can extend 2 of the light bars out to make it look like a Flux Capacitor or just extend 1 arm out to make a longer light bar. You can keep them in the full closed position to make it the size of a small flashlight, but one that puts out light in every direction around it. The base is flat to where it can stand on its own, or it can be held. I've even used the movable light arms as hooks. In addition to all that, it even has a threaded hole to use with a tripod or other mount.
Then there's the light itself. You can adjust the brightness, the warmth, and the number of lighted arms to turn on. All of this adjustability is a HUGE plus for me as I can make it work for just about any situation I'm filming in. It's not going to light up an entire room, but in small spaces and areas it's perfect.
It also comes with a small remote, which I honestly wasn't too excited about at first. I was worried about losing it easily and wasn't even sure why it's even needed. The design of it is genius however and I quickly understood why it became necessary. First, it attaches magnetically to the light itself, and in a way that you wouldn't even know it's there. Being around METAL cars, the remote being magnetic opens up even more options for places to put it. Second, it makes adjusting the lights easier and less cumbersome than using the buttons on the light itself. The light seems to be more responsive to the remote as well than with the buttons. Finally, it gives you the ability to setup the light and then use it without accidentally knocking it out of position.
I really don't have much negative to say about this light. It checks just about every box, especially for helping me with my youtube channel. If I had one negative thing to say, and this is more just feedback that would make it better, is that it would have been nice if the 2 light bars that extend out had some sort of swivel at the base. That would make them a bit more maneuverable. Other than that, this is almost a perfect little light. Oh, and it packs nicely when you're on the move!
