Great tool. Easy to use. Love it. This tool is portable and easy to store for transporting. I don't have to use my studio lights as much since purchasing this tool. The adjustable tripod and adjustable lighting features are awesome and I would recommend it to others as a necessity to have as part of your vlogging gear.

I felt this was a great buy for the price point. I have a podcast and I needed a light. I didnt expect this to work as good as it did.

Great Light, good stand, but SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE

This item smells. I can't understand why they think it is acceptable to sell an item that smells like gasoline. I thought the smell would eventually dissipate, but months later, it still smells strongly like gasoline. The legs are a little flimsy, but tolerable if it didn't stink so bad. The light is the best part of the kit. It works well.

Nice item for the size. Provides ample light for video calls/interviews and I like that the legs extend. They are, however, sometimes stubborn when I want to shorten them. Salesperson told me it was good for what I needed despite my concern about ring size, and he was correct.

i wear glasses and I'm trying to find the right angle where you can't see the halo reflection on my eyes. I like thr adjustable brightness and softness of the light as well as how it holds my phone. I'd also prefer it where I have the option to prop the phone vertically

This is perfect if you typically work from a desk top computer that may not have a camera in it. Seems like all calls now are zoom calls so this device works well. Couple draw backs: has a strong rubber smell that doesn't go away easy and the light leaves a ring reflection if you wear glasses.

Easy setup, easy to use and inexpensive. The only complaint I had was the smell. There is a plastic smell that came from the product for weeks. Not sure if it went away or I just got use to the smell. Overall great product for a novice like me.

Works OK, missing a locking pin on one leg

For the price, this works. The light is good. The tripod would work but it has little spring things that slide into a hole to lock the extensions. Mine is missing one. I will try and exchange. If that worked, I would give it a 4 and given the price (that I think is good) a 5 if the tripod leg worked.

We use this for my guide service and survival school to make videos. It's not high-end but it does the job for what we need in remote environments. It also works well for up close and personal videos when you're in an office or quiet setting. It's not designed to take a beating so you have to be careful moving it around since it's not a high-end piece but it works great for us.

Really happy with it. Several color shades and several brightness settings. It is very bright and I usually have it on the lowest brightness setting. Disassembles quickly which makes it Super easy to store. Use with a phone or laptop.

No longer in the witness protection

Light works as expected. I'm no longer in the witness protection program now. I would say the only thing about this light was it smelled like gasoline for about 2 weeks after opening the box. It's fine now but it was a little overwhelming at first.
