Review on πŸ“Έ YONGNUO YN300 Air LED Camera Video Light: Adjustable Color Temperature 3200K-5600K for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Samsung by April Williams

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Can't get the app to work on Android/poor basic design

Pros: Bright and nice warm light, fairly reasonable price. Cons: The application the manufacturer says in the comments is available on the site, just doesn't work for this light as far as I could tell. So you have to awkwardly reach for the light to change it, and that's a real inconvenience. The manufacturer specifically says that the application works for this model and the website is only in Chinese. I wonder if the flashlight really has Wi-Fi or Bluetooth? I wish I had considered other options, I would pay a little more for one with a working app or remote. Also, the light has a sharp cutoff if you dim it that far, it's not a deal breaker, maybe all these LED lights have a cutoff point like that. Would I buy it again? Probably not with the android app and language barrier on their website. This is a disappointment and also misleading that the manufacturer claims "the app is here" in the reviews. Yes, there is an app, but it doesn't work after much effort. Without the app I would have given 5 stars. The light, unlike in the application, is pleasant. The app is not available in the Google Play Store, you have to go to the website and download it and then move it to your phone (which requires a computer). Your phone complains that the app is "not secure" to know yet doesn't work. It would be nice if the base also had a standard GoPro connector. I need the app to work but it doesn't. Do not want it. I'll update when I find out.

Pros
  • Great for small households
Cons
  • Questionable buy for seniors
