Very upset. This item does not work and apparently the seller isn’t apart of Amazon anymore. $300 down the drain

After returning a 'big name' 18" ring light that cost almost $50 more for lack of app support and now way of adjusting while I was filming - I was blown away by this ring light.First of all - this is one of the few ring lights I could find that will give a cold blue light up to 8500K, or dial way down into golden hour hues. And it does this without having to snap on gel covers - its all controlled in the app, via an included remote control, or by dials/buttons on the device itself. The light itself has a built in diffuser so you don't get LED 'points' on your subject - and it can be dialed up for massive amounts of light - almost painful really if you're only a few feet away its that powerful - but again - easily dialed down to the right levels.The best is probably the app - yes it probably defaults to Chinese when you first launch it on your phone but just tap 'ENG' and you'll get mostly English - all you need to know is CCT - dial your light power up and down and set your color temp remotely. Thats probably where you'll spend most of your time videos, etc.For variety - the HSI tab lets you also dial in colors into your light in almost any variation or intensity which is really surprising (its hard to get colored and white LED's to both work well in the same system) - and are darned good. The third Scene tab is fun - but you'll probably rarely use those.Also - build quality is miles better than the one it replaced - the brackets that count are metal and it feels solid and a good platform for a DSLR and a small monitor. And if you don't like which way the tightening knobs work easy enough to flip it around. Truly impressed - the extra iPad and iPhone holder thrown in are yet another bonus, as is a cold shoe on top of the light, and the option to power it with two Sony batteries which I haven't tested but yet another great option. I even like the molded styrofoam insert in the carry case to protect the light while you carry it around. All told - a refreshingly thought out product that is a lot of light for what I paid.

This review might be long-winded, but it's because I am so impressed with this product and the customer service behind it. To sum things up for those that don't want to read this full review, I fully recommend this light for the price. You're getting an incredible amount of accessories and features that are hard to find elsewhere at a similar price point. The customer service was incredible as well. I use this for recreation, nothing professional, and I'm having a ball with it. My main usage is with my phone.The color range is impressive and clear, but I did notice some lower quality in the shade when the brightness level is turned down. If you want that full-bodied single color, you'll need full brightness. This sometimes washes out features, so I'm trying to learn the best balance. I had difficulties getting the phone holder screwed on and facing front. It seems the bolt was perhaps half a turn or so too short. There were a few other minor defects that didn't completely hinder functionality, such as the phone holder, another mounting bolt that was too thick for the section it slides in to, and the feet not wanting to fully extend. All of these were manageable with some patience and fiddling. While more than ample in length for the wall plug, I recommend purchasing a set of batteries for this light for ease of use. I purchased a set from ESDDI on Amazon for about 10$. I've been able to use the light at ranging levels of brightness for approximately an hour, perhaps even longer, but I haven't tested how long at full brightness. I'm rather tall and the range of height this ring light has is more than enough, even capable of overhead lighting, though I'm not sure I recommend this as stability gets dicey. I'm still learning to use the included remote, and find I prefer the app remote to control the light. When filming on my phone however I use a separate device to control the light as I've found some strange interference between the light and app if using my phone at the same time. All in all, an incredible light. You will likely find other features I've haven't mentioned in other reviews, so I recommend reading/watching the other reviews as well.Now, if there weren't enough selling points already for this product, I would almost recommend you buy it for the customer service alone. When I first stumbled across this light, it had minimal reviews, but all were glowing, and this seemed too good to be true. It even had a discount coupon, making it more affordable. I went back and forth for about a week on if I really wanted it or not. By the time I'd decided, it was sold out. I was super bummed and reached out to their support team. I was met with near-instant responses, reassuring me they'd restock soon, would let me know when they would restock, and even went so far as to honor the coupon. Daling, if you're reading this, you rock! All responses were professional, helpful, and kind. If I had any other problems, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to their team for one second. They truly go above and beyond.Get this light! You'll have a great time with it.

First, I want to say that this ring light is built like a TANK. Very sturdy plastic, especially on the dome that covers the LEDs. When this item arrived, it was not only in a crunched up box, but also soaking wet. The light, however, is in 100% perfect working order.Pros:FEATURES - This seriously has all the different lighting effects you would ever need. At first I figured it would be running the same as the little box lights, but this has many more presets. Everything worked great, and you can actually customize things yourself.CONTROL - You can control this with the knob on the back of the light, the remote control, OR the phone app. I prefer the phone app. It is kind of a garbled mix of Chinese and English, but is easy enough to navigate. I absolutely love being able to change settings on the fly. The control isn't as intuitive, but it can also be used to control all of the different settings. It isn't as fast as using the app, though.BUILD QUALITY - I talked about this above. Just wanted to mention again that this is very sturdy and stable.MOUNTS - Sturdy phone mount, and a stretchy tablet mount. Large enough to hold an iPad, but not my iPad Pro 12.9. I wouldn't be putting my tablet here, anyway. The ball head works just fine and is stable even under full tablet load.Con:No USB charging port for your device. I REALLY wish it could keep my device charged up while in use, but I can just run a cable down the tripod to a wall outlet. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of.Absolutely satisfied with this ring light. It does everything I want a light to do and more. Just the customization options blow my old ring light out of the water. This will likely be the last ring light I ever buy for my office.
