Upgrade my photography

I love photography. I have several smaller flashlights but wanted something more professional but without the big expense. We had another rainy weekend so we installed them and played around with them. This kit includes two lamps, two stands and a carrying case. You can adjust the angle of the LED lights and rotate the entire panel 360 degrees. So there are 2 adjustment points. The light is adjustable. I've read that some thought it wasn't bright enough, but it was bright enough for us. You can also adjust the temperature. It actually has an LCD screen and a control panel to make these settings. You can also set these preferences through the app, but I won't download the app. There have been complaints about the app. Apparently you can only adjust one light with the app and you have to do the other manually. There have also been complaints about a lot of spam when downloading the app. Since I personally find it ridiculous to have an app for every little thing and didn't want to use it anyway, that wasn't a problem for me. One thing I have to stress is that you don't need an app at all. Everything can be configured manually. The description shows a photo with the flaps removed. I didn't try to shoot, and I don't want to either. I definitely don't want to break or ruin anything. You can use light in two ways. With plug cable (included) or batteries. Just note that it doesn't come with batteries. I'm a little shocked and disappointed by this. They also don't tell you which batteries you actually need. The tote bag is good. Goes with everything and makes it easy to store or take with you A few warnings they give: don't look directly into the light (reminds you of a horror movie 🀣🀣🀣), don't physically block the light with anything, don't place liquid on it, stay away from flammable ones away from objects and turn it off when not in use. I love that it has coasters but wish they were stronger but they get the job done. Best used indoors or in a stable open area. While I could personally make a few minor changes, overall I'm really impressed with them. The lights exceeded my expectations and are easy to master. Even the children and my technically undeveloped husband were able to master it quickly. I definitely recommend them for beginners to more experienced photographers and videographers.

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Bad manual
