    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.

    This is a good, inexpensive kit. The stand seems quite sturdy for the price, and has been helpful for vlogging and recording crafts and projects when I don't want to have to hold the camera. The ring light has different tones for different lighting situations, which is a good feature.

    I got it on sale and it does work just fine. It won't replace a real tripod for taking pictures though. It doesn't get very high and is pretty flimsy for that purpose. But, it does work for that, just doesn't get very high. The light does work, but not so good if you wear glasses. A pretty large light reflection in your glasses.

    Overall I'am really happy with this purchase. It allows me to quickly setup for a Zoom meeting and puts the camera with the right lighting exactly where it needs to be. However; I wish the legs were easier to close. That being said, it isn't a huge deal, but that's why I gave it 4 stars. I would buy it again.

    The light is fine but the tripod is trash & smells

    I got the package and upon opening it the smell of cheap chemical rubber almost floored me. It comes from the rubber on the tripod. The tripod itself is poorly made and won’t even hold the light. It is a waste of materials to even be included in the box. The light itself is fine, I used a tripod I already owned and it will meet the needs I have for it. The material seems cheap, but it puts off a nice even light. I will keep the light but Sunpak (who usually makes decent tripods) should be ashamed of themselves for including such a useless tripod.

    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.

    This works very well for the price point, as far as it's intent to light shots for blogging and even some basic photography from your phone. If you want one of these on a budget, I highly recommend this one!

    Overall product serves its purpose m. Just two minor set backs 1) Phone cannot rotate vertically so can only be kept in vertical position and 2) Strong bad plastic odor smell almost like burnt plastic but with a little wiping with scented cleaning wipes it’s good. Overall would recommend .

    The light is actually the star of this package with multiple brightness settings to even being able to change the light type. This tripod is great for having on a desk or even standing on the floor.

    The ring light is pretty bright but it's not wireless. So you'll have to plug it up, however, you can change the settings to your liking so you don't go blind. The stand great to take pictures and shoot videos with. A perfect little tool to help you document your life.

    I’d been wanting a ring light/tripod combo for over a year and decided to purchase this one as it was on sale. Despite many reviews regarding one of the legs of the tripod being defective, I decided to purchase it. The ring light worked great. The only issue I had was the chord being on the short side. The tripod on the other hand was just as several reviewers said it was. One of the legs did not extend fully. No matter how many times I tried, I could not get it extended all the way. There is obviously a manufacturing defect that should be addressed. I returned it and am in search of a replacement.

    I’m very pleased with this little ring light. It does an excellent job for somebody who’s just beginning to come up with his own vlogs. Complements my 3-point lighting nicely and is portable. You can’t beat it.

    Great tripod and ring light for well lit videos

    Good tripod if you plan on making videos on your phone. One issue is that when extending the legs, it is difficult to put them back in without some effort. Also the given remote makes it so that you have to hold down to record a video which is not good.

    the light is bright and versatile, with three distinct colors and multiple intensity settings. The tripod is about as sturdy as you might expect something like that to be. The legs extend to a good height.

    Very useful. The light has warm/cool and brightness controls and illuminates quite well. But the stand is a bit difficult. For instance, once you extend the tripod legs, it's extremely difficult to retract them again. But the light can be used separately from the stand.

    Device worked fine except for difficulty getting tripod legs to fix in the desired position- it took some fiddling with it to get it into a secure lock.
