Review on πŸ’‘ Aputure Amaran AL-M9: Pocket-Sized LED Lighting with CRI/TLCI 95+, 9 SMD Bulbs, 9-Step Dimming, 5500K, 900lux, Internal Battery, Micro-USB Charging - Sony Canon Nikon by Rodrigo Harrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Neat, portable, bright light source.

Ideal for on-the-go lighting for photos and videos and can also provide versatile accent lighting for landscapes. There are nine levels of brightness available, with the brightest setting producing quite a bit of power. It doesn't accept batteries, but it can be charged via USB, which is very convenient. The front diffuser panel attaches with magnets and allows the use of color gels to compensate for the inability to adjust color temperature. Each of the 9 LEDs is bright enough to act as a separate light source. which can lead to overlapping shadows. Its size also limits its usability somewhat, as it requires a lot of scattering to achieve even illumination on its own. Also remember that the brightness of the LEDs decreases when the battery runs out. When you're on the go, it's best to have a way to keep it charged.

Pros
  • Good cause
Cons
  • Negative is provided
