Review on 🔆 UBeesize 16-inch LED Ring Light Kit with Wireless Control - Professional Bi-Color 3000K-6000K Circle Lights, Up to 5000Lux by David Sanchez

I came across this article while looking for a different tripod ring light. First I'll start with the CONS. Here is my experience: *> The first one I ordered arrived on time, I installed it and started using it, for some strange reason it died within 10 minutes of use and wouldn't turn back on. The next day I contacted Amazon customer service but the issue was resolved and I received a replacement. fan., you will notice occasional slight rocking of the tripod. Even if you are in the middle of recording and for some reason need to touch the screen of your DSLR or your phone that you have mounted on a tripod. , this tripod will wobble slightly and won't stand still and this will be noticeable in your output video unless your camera sensor has some sort of intelligent video stabilization or you intend to do stabilization in POST. That said, this tripod is superbly stiff 1-2 levels down. no swaying. *> The camera mount itself has been engineered so that no matter how you choose to do it, whatever you mount is always behind the ring light, which is disappointing because when you mount your phone and set up the video capture the light from the ring hits on the edges of your video and it's immediately noticeable when you look at the phone's screen on the mount and you'll also notice that the image sensor is capturing the image. Light, and it can't auto-correct it (even if you try pro/manual mode for ISO settings, EV settings and more), and you'll see light seeping into your footage below (image attached). Although the mount itself can be perfectly tilted 90° forward (take 0° if the mount is facing your ceiling), it still doesn't put your phone's attitude behind the ring light (DSLR users don't have this problem due to for ). protruding stem). If the mount itself were made a little longer/taller, it could use a Sol. The problem is easily solved by leaning forward 90 degrees towards the ring light. But there are 3 workarounds! (1) turn down the brightness of the ring light (but that might defeat the goal of getting that ring light if you want maximum brightness) or (2) get a 1/4 ball adapter/arrow mount that pushes out the mount the ring light circles a little. This way, when you tilt the mount forward 90 degrees from vertical, the ring light is behind your camera. Light and PROBLEM SOLVED) or (3) mount the camera on a separate tripod. But I would really like to see the manufacturers supply this item with some sort of adapter or jib that effectively eliminates this problem. It's worth noting that DSLR users might not have a problem with this, as you can always attach some sort of lens attachment to the camera, which essentially gives the camera a longer barrel that extends beyond the ring light, combined with the use of a lens hood. . Or simply putting a lens hood on the camera should solve the problem. The ring light can be rotated 180° and points towards the ceiling in one direction and downwards in the other. of inclination. Now the PROS: ** - This tripod is really big! (although I still hope they make it a lot more solid to avoid full height wobble)** - The ring light is big! 18 inches. I like it! ** - The ring light is REALLY bright! (When trying to fix the problem of light leaking into my footage, I tried setting the phone so the ring light was pointing in the opposite direction, although this seemed to solve my problem, it also resulted in nice indirect lighting. But i ended up with the light itself, every time i had to do something on the screen of the set phone it's a bad idea that you'll be blinded by the light (though not literally lol) if you do it for too long enough , to say I'm back to the usual path and improvised with a ball adapter!). In addition, this ring light also serves as a very good and effective direct/indirect light when you mount your camera on another tripod! ** - The tripod was VERY EASY to set up and I love the fact that it didn't use those cumbersome tripod butterfly mounting screws, just simple lever clamps that allow you to raise and lower the tripod smoothly and stress-free ANYTIME. Very intuitive, finger friendly and painless. **- THE MAIN IMAGE here on this tripod for me is the camera mount screw, it's dial shaped which essentially saves me having to repeatedly thread the phone mount myself onto the mount screw to lock before shooting which is what you often find on others types of tripods where mounting screws are hardwired to the tripod frame, which I always find very counterintuitive. , a waste of time and counterproductive every time I want to remove, repair or replace the phone mount with another one. But the dial design on this tripod is correct? this is the best feature for me! Thanks to the manufacturers who did it differently! All you have to do is hold your phone or DSLR mount by the mounting screw (and point it in the direction you want), then tighten the mounting screw until it's snug! It's just amazing!**-This ring light can be rotated 360°! Just remember to slightly loosen the ring light screw where it sits on the tripod. **- This product also comes with a REMOTE CONTROL! I've been wishing for that for a very long time! This remote also works with your Android or Apple device! ** - This product was packaged neatly and nicely in a branded box and the instruction manual is the best I've seen for such a product, premium quality. (glossy) paper and printables, simple and very clear instructions, beginner friendly, well detailed with pictures. If, like me, you've always used tripods, you won't need it, but it's worth noting how well written this guide compares to other products I've purchased. fully functional, big enough in diameter and very bright ring light, YOU MUST BUY THIS. This would easily earn all of my 5 stars, but based on the few cons I listed above and the fact that the first one I bought literally died minutes later, I'm guessing it's one of those fraudulent, buggy ones Items that somehow got through quality control and made it into shipping. I was really disappointed because I was really behind on the project and couldn't afford any more downtime due to faulty equipment. But in the end the Amazon rep I spoke to the next day was kind enough to send me a replacement straight away after giving me the manufacturer's contact link, which I did, although they didn't respond immediately, but at least that Problem solved and delivered. Nothing is perfect, but hopefully in the near future manufacturers will make an effort to take all the critical feedback into account so that they can incorporate it into their next projects and do much better in every respect. satisfactory product. Aside from the flaws mentioned above, did this product meet my expectations in terms of brightness needed to eliminate video grain, better direct and indirect lighting, and the icing on the cake? It comes with a remote control! I will recommend this product to every potential enthusiast I know and will also purchase another product of the same product with additional lighting. I JUST REALLY HOPE THIS PRODUCT WILL LAST THAT LONG and not die on me like the first one. So far so good, the replacement I received works perfectly, I used it straight out of the box for 6 hours the first day and no issues. I'll be using it more in the coming days, if there's any change in brightness and performance level I'll edit my review accordingly. I'll be posting an unboxing and setup video once this review goes live, I just have to finish editing the video. Stay tuned: I really wouldn't have taken the time to sit down and write this lengthy review if the product wasn't really worth it and my time, but this product obviously impressed me. Here it is. I hope this review has helped you make a much more informed purchasing decision. Thanks for reading and stay healthy! :)
