Review on Emart 18-inch Ring Light for Camera Photography, YouTube Videos, Makeup - Big Adjustable ๐Ÿ“ธ 3200-5500K LED Lights Ring with Ultra-wide Lighting Area (Kit includes Phone Holder, Remote, Soft Tube, etc.) by Hassan Tomlinson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not modular, does not work well on a desk or table

table or the flexibility to be placed at the table. The tripod is very poorly designed and at minimum height the bottom of the ring sits 19 inches above the surface (and that's without the pivoting neck - the only way to place it at any angle - which adds another 7 inches). ). and that leaves three 19-inch legs splayed horizontally in different directions. That's plenty of room to try and mount it on a desk with a monitor, keyboard, etc. I have all sorts of cameras and tripods, but the connectors on the ring are not standard and it takes a bit of fiddling to get to this in order to work at the right height on the desk. Maybe I can understand why they didn't use the standard 1/4" or 3/8" screws (because of the shearing force when the ring and camera are angled), but they have a very special adapter on top of the Tripod included and back on gooseneck. To be honest I don't know how or if I'm going to get this thing working, but it will probably require the tripod to be loosened with a dremel and the rod attached to the table, but that would surely ruin the tripod for the normal use. I really regret this purchase but I missed the return window.

Pros
  • Dual color temperature and brightness controls
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
