    Extreme light use and the unit failed

    We purchased the unit in early Jan. 2020 and by mid Feb 2020, the unit failed completely and will not power on. I have tried numerous power supplies and outlets but the unit is simply dead. For $50 I would expect something like this to last at least a year, not a month and a half. The only plus side to this is that the stand is fairly well built and can probably be re-purposed. The unit is also glued together so any attempt at repair will most likely end in a mess of broken parts...but I guess when the light doesn't work, what difference does that make. Buyer beware...some of these units don't last.

    Junk. The cord to plug in the light is too short. When you extent the poles the whole thing wobbles, and the top piece to hold your phone constantly wobbles. Buy a different one. .

    Disappointing because the camera/phone holder clamps do not open wide enough to hold my large size iPhone 8. Also the light often will not turn on between uses. I would not recommend for someone who will be using the light and camera holder often.
