Elgato - Ring Light - Black

Light is good, connecting to wifi was somewhat difficult. Thus, was not able to use the app feature much. Good built. Still using it as a desk lamp.

So my wife does Instagram & Zoom streams and lightning of course is the most important. We upgraded from the Sunpak and the Elgato ring light blows it out of the water. The brightness is amazing and also does a great job at lower levels. IOS app control is very responsive. You don't have to utilize the app to operate the light. I wish it came with the base but the clamp mount is amazing, it does not move at all once it's down. Great to utilize on a desk our counter. The only con would be that it does not come with a phone holder. If your looking for a great ring light with lots of accessories support. This is the one for you!

This ring light is absolutely fantastic. It is super bright and is well diffused so the light doesn't look harsh. It lights up the whole room if I need it to and works perfectly with my green screen. I also love how easily I can control it from my phone! This was the best birthday present.

The Elgato Ring Light is an exceptional light for video and picture capture. If you live stream or video conference this light will ensure you can be seen. I use my Elgato Ring Light to video conference in a room with very little natural light. I appreciate being able to control the light with the Elgato Control Center app on my PC or from my android phone. The app lets me control power, brightness and color temp. The light offers color temp range from sunlight to warm white. If you have need for a professional ring light with a strong desktop mount, you will be hard pressed to find a comparable light.

Love it! Best lighting for online broadcasts ever!

I bought this so that I could gain lighting when I'm on Zoom calls. I can say that I'm very happy with the results, but that I also don't know much about proper lighting or techniques. So, while I can't speak to its professional grade quality, I can speak to its casual user-friendly features. Most importantly, it's not blinding and can be offset so that it's not directly in your eyes. I have it behind and above my monitor, tilted slightly downward. The brightness and temperature can be controlled with the desktop app or a mobile device. It can clamp to your desk, standing straight up. Very unobtrusive. I also dismounted my shaky web cam from the monitor because the light has a convenient attachment in its center that I was able to screw the camera on to. Overall, it's just a well thought out product. I also picked up an elgato Wave 3 microphone which on its own is also a great piece of hardware. I'm finding that I'm gaining confidence with elgato and their hardware (and even the software that accompanies it).

I am having a couple issues with mine. First off, the thumb screw that holds the ring light onto the stand does not grip well. Multiple times the whole ring has come flopping down on me. I don't dare tighten anymore than I am. Second, it CONSTANTLY disconnects from WIFI. I have a small/medium business grade home network using Ubiquiti equipment - I went through the hoops of turning things on that elgato recommended, but it is still unreliable - connecting here and there and disconnecting later. Third, it wobbles A LOT. Any slight movement on my desk, even just typing starts a camera wobble that lasts long past the time the pole holding it up shakes. The flex appears to be coming from where the pole swivel connects into the ring light.. it is screwed on snug but I think the thin ness leads to flex. On the flip side, this is handy to have my stream deck controls when it works. It also gets very bright and I like the range of color temperature it offers. With even minimal brightness it makes a huge difference in my camera quality. I still recommend this product, just make it is right for you.

This is a perfect light for a home studio setup. Produces good light, easy to use, and built well. Mounting mechanism could be better, and a bit expensive for a consumer light. This won't replace a professional studio light, but great nonetheless.
