I thought it would work better.

I can't say anything bad about these headlights because the assembly, packaging and durability are top notch. I love it. So let's start with that, BUT I have a couple of Neewer 480's and they overwhelm these lights. They are much brighter and cheaper than these. I was honestly very disappointed with this aspect of the lights. From what I read, I thought and researched that they would do a much better job than the Neewer, but no doubt the Neewer would come out on top in terms of performance. I couldn't send it back, but I will use it as an additional light. Also, finding the app is very problematic since it is an apk and not an app that you can find in the play store. After I installed it and did everything I was told in the instructions, the app doesn't connect both lights, I will run the app and it will only affect one light. So here is my honest review. Finally, two batteries are required to power the flashlights, while the newer one, despite having two battery compartments, only needs one. The first picture is GVM 480, the second is NEEWER 480.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Something different
