Massive ring light with everything you need for studio work

Whether you're shooting video or shooting indoors, this 18-inch ring light has many uses. Whether you're working with food or people, this light provides enough direct lighting for many scenarios. The device itself is quite massive, so be prepared; It's not the ring indicator you use every day for your Zoom calls. It must be connected to a 120V power supply to provide 55W peak power. You can also connect a USB cable to power your phone or flashlight mounted camera with 5V/2A. Articulation - Phone mount - Remote for Bluetooth device - 2.4GHz remote for the light source itself Customization is fantastic, with color temperature settings ranging from 3200K to 5600K. The only oddity is that it's a steep jump to the bottom of the settings in the brightness control there. My first minor complaint is that the cold shoe mount is made of the same plastic as the case. It's a little disappointing because it doesn't seem powerful enough to handle something like a DSLR; You probably want to limit yourself to taking photos with cameras and phones. Anything with a heavy lens and it might just snap off. Another small issue is that the color temperature seems to reset when you turn it off no matter where you leave the watch face, requiring you to recalibrate it every time. Considering the massive size, I think it would be great to maybe have another cold shoe mount that allows you to mount a mic, as the phone mount that comes with it doesn't include one; of course there is enough space for the cold shoe of the boot. Could definitely use some small improvements but overall a great multi-purpose flashlight.
