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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Decent, but wish that the tripod stand was a little bit easier to deal with; to make sure that it doesn't topple over easy, I have to continuously tighten the device to ensure that when I'm use it, it does not fall so that it does not break

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.
