Review on 🌈 RGB Handheld Light Wand: Full Color 2500-8500K, App Control, Rechargeable Battery - Ideal for Portrait Lighting, Video Recording, and TikTok" by Khiam Burton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best and most useful lights in its class.

build quality: It should be said straight away that a metal body is rare in this price range, but the k21 is built around a very solid metal body. Again, you won't find any crude and cheap knobs. Working with the device is a pleasure. As an unexpected and handy feature, the 1/4 20 threaded inserts are surrounded by a rubber washer that provides stability when mounted on the included mini tripod, light stand, magic arm, or any other part of your setup. Everything is said. I'm not worried about slipping the k21 right into my camera bag and getting on with my day. Built-in 2500mAh battery that can be charged via USB-C. The light works while charging. You no longer have to search for a proper patented adapter to power your lights on set. Modes: Most fixtures in this price range have 10 color temperature settings ranging from 3200K to 5600K. The K21 can switch from 2500K to 8500K! In addition, you can switch between red and green at any time. This is perfect for working in environments with red or green ambient light, which is what happens in my studio with its not-so-nice lime green walls. πŸ˜‚. Check out my video review above for all the super handy story modes available in k21. Also worth noting is the fact that you can access color both through the traditional HSL panel and through a panel that lets you use RGB WY, so you can recreate almost any hue as long as you have the RGB percentages. This is the first light I own that gives me this kind of control and color customization and I genuinely wish other manufacturers would take note of this technology and incorporate it into their products. This changes the rules of the game in many ways. Meaning: The K21 leads its class in terms of features and performance. I've got tons of 5-10 watt bulbs that offer similar performance on paper, but they're nowhere near as well built or refined as the K21. Combined with its handy size and good performance, I'd be an idiot if I didn't make sure it's in my bag before every shoot.
