The light is bright and is excellent. Unfortunately you can’t make the stand lower so it’s very high. I use my smaller stand to film and use the light on this one behind it.

easy setup, very effective light, can be a bit harsh so find the best mode for you.
Mounting system could be better, feels flimsy.

It could be taller. I have to put it on blocks to get it high enough to video myself creating art. Why so short? I mean the average person is 5’ tall.

Sunpak - Esesntials Vlogging Kit

This Kit works well. However the horizontal member that holds cell phones should be longer to allow horizontal orientation of longer cell phones in the middle position. The round base is not large enough or heavy enough to support the fully extended vertical shaft safely on some carpeted floors. I do not know if the shaft diameter and threading would allow a regular microphone base to be substituted for some applications..

This was a great light. The cold shoe mounts were perfect and easy to use. I had multiple devices connected to this device and enjoyed the ease of use. However, after about two months, it just will not come on anymore. Not sure what the issue is

Feels like cheap import quality stuff in design, fit and finish honestly. Base isn’t solid enough for anything more unstable than a solid floor indoors. Spend a little more and get better quality, mine basically wound up in the drawer with all my old remotes and outdated electronics. Not something I trust a $1000 phone in personally.

Bought this for my daughter as a birthday gift. She loves it and said it is really nice, good quality. I thought it was taller than it is. Its really for a desk top but still works great for what she needs.

Decent quality. Not top notch necessarily but certainly good enough for me. Easy to put together and the phone attachment works well. Bought it to put behind my webcam for zoom meetings while I work from home and I am very happy with it

I Purchased this item for the purpose of life sales in my online store. I’ve used it twice and it does the job, but it doesn’t do the job extremely well. The lighting is just mediocre and the stand is not heavy enough At the base so it tries to tip over if you don’t place something on the base. I will likely purchase something else in the near future.
