Review on Aputure AL-M9 Portable On-Camera LED Light - Daylight 5500K Fill Light with 9 SMD Light Beads for DSLRs by Dan Chunn

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as useful as advertised

I bought an Aputure AL-M9 flashlight to improve the lighting in my office, which is not ideal for Zoom meetings. I need more light on my face because the windows in the room are on the side and the back. I found the flashlight moderately useful. It is small and convenient for traveling. But it doesn't light up my face as described in the promo. When I increase the brightness, my eyes hurt. I think a ring light would be a better choice. I chose this flashlight because I saw a very positive video review. It has magnetic sides, but the magnets aren't strong enough to give it the stability it needs. I am returning the Aputure light because it is not as expected.

Pros
  • Built-in USB rechargeable lithium battery
