    Smell

    The only reason I don’t say very good is 1. It stinks really bad out of the bos and it has taken great effort to reduce a smell that would give me headaches and 2. The light is beginning to flicker as though is might go out - it hasn’t, but I am concerned.

    THis is a very easy to use little tripod and ring light. The light is easy to operate and works great. The phone holder makes zoom calls easy without tiring out your arm from holding up the phone.

    I got this for vlogging and SMULE use. Definitely does what it is supposed to do. If I wanted more I should have paid more. But it is adjustable and works really well for it's price. I'm not a professional so it's perfect for me. You want something better? Buy the more expensive one. Otherwise it's perfect!! Tip: to put the the phone in a landscape mode, you need to position the ring light on the side. Otherwise the phone won't fit in a landscape setting

    So the light is awesome. It is not sturdy with the light and phone at certain angles. One of the legs does not collapse properly. I would return it but it helps during all these zoom meeting. Not the best but it works.

    Purchased this kit to make personal videos for school/class and it got the job done. The tripod is very sturdy when it is not elongated and set on a table, otherwise it's not as sturdy when the legs are extended, and it is uncomfortable when held up by hand as shown in the video. The ring lite is very bright but only has 4 settings. The USB control cable feels flimsy and delicate, and that cable is the only way to power the ring light, so if you break the cable then that's it for the product. So again, it's a pretty good product for the price, but not great.

    I love how small it is - the ease of use is amazing. I think the only issue I have is the lighting hurts my eyes sometimes, depending in which setting I have it on. Given that it’s used for blogging, I’d expect better lighting for my eyes.

    So far all the parts work as described. The holder grips the phone nicely without issue. I haven't figured out how to adjust the light ring to stay on top with the phone in portrait. This might be a user issue, but I also haven't figure out how to tighten the tripod legs, but they do stay steady once they've been adjusted (just one tap though and they start to retract). There were likely instructions but I'm the 'intuitive toss the instructions' type user. The rubber does have a strong odor, which I'm hoping dissipates with time. It's not horrible but it's certainly not a pleasant smell. Fortunately, the work I do while using the tripod distracts from the smell. So I put it in the garage in between time.

    Small, light, convenient. Being USB makes it more convenient because you can use a power pack if no plug is available. The tripod is ok but isn't the most stable.

    its not bad, the legs on the tripod are a little flimsy, but the ring light is nice and bright. it feels like a stepping stone for if you want to be a serious blogger.

    Good Tripod for price. Gets to be about 5 feet when fully extended. It does radiate an odd rubber smell when light is on. Kinda weird. Holds with a phone in it. I wouldnt call it super sturdy but it does it job. Easy to use.

    I like this stand. The legs are annoying to put up bc you have to push in each joint to close it. I also don’t like that it holds the phone sideways. But it’s ok for the price. Would recommend if u just need a light to get started.

    Okay product, but cant take load of heavy phone unless tripod legs are really wide. Wish it could be little more taller. Light is bright and have control to handle brightness.

    Kind of a junky product. The legs are a pain to extend out. When they do the entire unit is flimsy and unstable
