Review on πŸŽ₯ YONGNUO YN216 YN-216 LED Video Light for Canon Nikon DSLR Cameras - Enhanced with 5600K Color Temperature and 4 Color Plates by William Groupp

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High-quality LED photo/video light at an affordable price

Don't think that professional LED lighting is out of the question because of the high prices. Yongnuo made the economical electronic flash a reality, and now they've done the same with LEDs! This little flashlight is round so it creates circular highlights in the eyes (important if you know your lighting techniques) and is quite bright thanks to 216 individual LED bulbs. You can turn it up to a very bright level and use it on camera, off camera Use camera on a stand or tripod, or even handheld, for close-up shots of models outdoors on cloudy, low-light days to create a key light when everything else is off. Gray. OR use as a filler on sunny days. In addition, YN-216 works well as a table lamp for photographing small goods and comes with multiple color filters and a diffuser. I came across Yongnuo LEDs when I wanted to try them as supplemental lighting on location or in the studio, or even basic lighting for small product sets, only to find that big name LEDs like Roto were simply astronomically priced for what you are getting – yes, she can do a lot of "stunts" and special effects, but beyond that it has little to offer. I have sold all the YN LEDs including this 216 but I also have a YN-300 iii and 600L ii for wireless remote lighting which can also be controlled with a bluetooth smartphone! Look at her! Really great buy and it's all available here at Revain.
