Review on πŸ’‘ Vivitar 6-Inch LED Ring Light with Adjustable Tripod Stand and USB Power for Live Streaming, Makeup, Photography, Shooting, and Vlogging by Jared Surabhi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fragile construction but shiny

- 36" cable from light source to 2" control switch, then 76" overall length - all plastic body, plastic tripod but section connecting them to a ball joint, the metal tripod can't be locked in the closed position.The tripod also can't be adjusted in height, it's either fully open or fully closed.Made in China 6" light ring but the tripod needs 12"x 12" Seat - no clamping device - non-slip tripod ends - 3 backlight colors, many brightness settings One of the gates was the control module. It's the same as my lighted magnifier and doesn't work properly. I have to leave it disabled because it randomly turns on. Me find it awkward too. The up and down buttons are separated by a light button. Not so wic necessary, but still stupid. I am very disappointed that the tripod does not have the option to adjust the spread of the legs. I think I have an idea why, because the construction is so cheap and flimsy, it would easily tip over if the legs weren't so far apart. After crying about it, the light itself is fine. I'll never use it for vlogging (nor should 85% of bloggers), but my goal is to get center shots without casting shadows or highlights on the subject itself. This lighting gets bright enough to show the details and this ring helps a lot. There is also a slot on the side of the rotation module that allows it to point fully down, which is perfect for my needs. Tripod, it's great for my needs.
