Ordered mine last week. Was supposed to get it today but there was a mix up with carriers or something. Called Amazon and they said I should receive it tomorrow and if not, they'll either give me a full refund or ship another one out for free. And for my inconvenience, they just gave me a 5 dollar gift card. Now I can afford to buy some Kleenex to wipe the tears falling down my face after seeing the your camera at 100 iso and looking beautifully with the ring light I should've had today.
Nice review! I bought a newer (no pun intended!) model of this, and its called "RL-18B LED Soft ring light". It costed me £89, which is about $109. I followed your tutorial and the setup is mostly the same. The one positive note is my new ring light did not require me put the quarter circles in, which saved a bit of time. And I can use one of the dials to blend from an orange light to a blue light. I usually wear a silver haired wig and shades on my channel cos I like doing wearing them. Before I saw this video, I noticed "Hey, my lighting isn't good anymore, I need to buy a ring light!!" The only small downside to my one is, like you said, the product can get a bit unstable and can wobble!
Thats so hilarious that you said "ewww it actually has hair on it" I got my Neewer 18 inch right light that arrived yesterday and stuck to the white defuser was a long piece of black hair. Seems someone at the factory is shedding a lot and should probably be wearing a hairnet. LOL
@@realreviews4102 mine came with a dead dragonfly included inside the box just outside the black case...I had to wash the case before unpacking it...it was really disgusting!!!
okay omg thank you. i thought for the past YEAR of having had my neewer ring light (i went with the slim model) that i was missing a part ! I SAID THE SAME THING 😂… the wobbles give me high blood pressure every time i use their lights… i have the 2 led vlog bar lights by them too & they’re all that wobbly. ugh. i kinda wish i was missing something so there’d be something to fix but oh well. maybe my overly expensive lights will break today. maybe they won’t. it’s the suspense for me.
I’ve bought this ring light and it’s sturdy alright. I wish you would have shown how to place the camera mount, that’d been helpful, the rest of the tutorial was.
Can you please make a video on like how far you should be from the light, and which direction of the subject you should put the ring light to get a good lighting on a video.
For beauty type of video it's nice to put it directly in front of the face, but for talking-head-situation like your camera talk stuff, I prefer the light slightly from left or right. Creates more dramatic shadows that makes your footage more interesting.
Yo Yo, You've answered me on your channel before, I'll cross my fingers that you do again. What is the best option for 2 people in a shoot, Sony 90mm Macro lens? (Making a boxing video for youtube), what size RL do you think I should get for this job? (Not much movement, white wall backdrop)
sorry you may have mentioned the answer to my question in this video already but i was applying my makeup while listening so i probably missed it. anyway i know the mount is not so sturdy for a camera but is it sturdy enough for a phone? also does the ring bend down forward to take some flat lays?
You have glasses. Please consider testing out the ring light with them on. That way your audience can tell if the ring light is wide enough to minimize reflections on a person's glasses.
I picked this up to use as a fill light and maybe some location shots. I've only used it once so I don't know much about the light yet. Great info here! I like your "ballin on a budget" approach. Subbed...
Yes, but you have two white rings on your pupils and that’s very odd and not good. So or you place the ring on the side, or I think it’s not a good solution.
@@BVCCo7 Shame, otherwise you could just slap it on any stand you want. Lol can't make it easy can they. Anyway, keep up the good vids, I really like your content.
my stand rotates on its own and it also comes off if im holding it from the stand and i dont know how to fix it its really annoying cause i just want it to stay in place but ive tried tightening it and it still moves in 360. hopefully i explained it right 😭 if anyone can help please lmkkk
Hey I wanna thank you so much for helping me manage my Nikon D5200. With you tips on how to change settings on D5200 i manage to make my first video on youtube. thanks man🙏🙏
New subscriber. Thank you for this review, bro. I'm trying to upgrade our home setup for future videos. Your channel seems like it will help make things easier! Keep up the great work! 🤙🏾 God bless.
The model linked in the description is priced at $310 cd., but if you search and compare the images with this video, you can find the same model for $169 cdn.
🤣🤣🤣 i was hoping it would be bright enough I just bought one after arguing about which one. “Let there be light” and your blind face just tells me it will be more then fabulous. I want the lume light too but I will get that next it’s more expensive.
I have recently bought one of these and the black little thing on the top of the stand has Brocken anyone know the name of this piece so I can buy a new one ?

Looking for the ring light one myself now. It helps the white balance and your skintone looks much better too. Thanks!
I'd recommend it for budget film makers! especially if you're doing mainly talking head
Great Review! Im long overdue for a lighting upgrade I don't know how i went so long without proper lighting. Thank You so much!!😊
Best of luck on your content creation 📸

yeap - that stand isn't meant for it - I wish it had a proper tripod insertion point
That light makes a world of difference.
The only review who mentioned about the shutter speed and ISO. Good job
you're welcome

will the phone bracket attachment included rotate from landscape to portrait?
Ok your lil saying at the end is tough 😂🔥
Wonderful review. I’m convinced to buy this product now
I just got mine and LOVE it! But the stand is actually sturdy to me...maybe b/c i use my smart phone instead of a camera
I just bought a few moments ago can’t wait to use it
What a huge difference it makes when you go to ISO100 .... wow!
Love your review. Super detailed and useful. Thanks for it!
Do you think this light would work well with the weight of a dslr ? especially with titling / angles etc ?
Great review! Hope it’s an affiliate link in your description, I’ll gladly purchase to support the channel 👏🏼

Part 3 coming soon 🤔
BVC Co. I had to watch another video on how to mount the camera, I’m good now. But knock yourself out.
Can you please make a video on like how far you should be from the light, and which direction of the subject you should put the ring light to get a good lighting on a video.
stay tuned future video to come
LOOKS GREAT!!!

I had to buy an off brand ring light, hopefully I'll still get the same results 😂
Trinity Epiphany Guitar which one girl do you have a link?😂
girl same i'm so poor chile
Yeah your light is amazing in this video!,,
seeing the rings in your eyes sets me off a little bit, maybe it's not that noticeable if it's not a fully dark room. thanks for the honest review!
It's preference - definitely reduced effect if you use a fill light!
indeed quite strange to see the rings in your eyes, we're used to more sunlight or typical 2:1 studio lighting situation, coming from the side.
Genuinely the best review i’ve ever seen ! thank you
What ring light do you think is better 14 or 18 inch
18
Thank You, you did an Excellent Job of explaining the ring light.
Do you think this would be useful for workout videos or will it not turn down enough?
This will help you! ruclips.net/video/A-RJTtV8B_I/видео.html
Hi! I have this ring light and cannot figure out how to get my phone to stay secured vertically in the phone holder. Have you found a way to do this?
This is called an honest review. I really appreciate it.
🙏
Looking to upgrade my lighting, i do gun review, would it be able to light up a table and myself while sitting 5 feet away from the light?
They have a sale on the 18 inch for 64 bucks right now.

@@BVCCo7 Thank you bro. Unfortunately, I don't have facebook, and don't plan to have one. Thank you for the response, and resource.
I have been thinking about getting one pretty sure I will be picking up one...Great review
When purchasing on amazon which option did you pick ? It says single, white light kit, led stand backdrop etc
single
Honestly dude, ur so underrated. Why don’t u have more subs?
content over numbers
Great review! Wish you had put your glasses on for a short time to see what that looked like also
your video is awesome, thanks! what do you say about the orange filter? I wish you would have used it
I'd avoid it ruclips.net/video/_f8DFbhozKY/видео.html
Great review, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
great review man !
Just bought this! Literally the best review I have seen. Thank you!
Hope it serves you well!
I have a question! Would the phone holder fit my iPhone XR? And if not, could I attach my own phone holder?
Yes it should
what did you upgrade to? I'm looking for a more professional ring light.
ruclips.net/video/oXc05-LiUzM/видео.html
Can I take it on the go to shoot pictures or does it require it to be plugged up to use it?
Plug unfortunately
Sounds like the 18 " light is top heavy ,, I wonder if the 12" would work okay
This should help ruclips.net/video/A-RJTtV8B_I/видео.html
Ddnt u think that tightening it wld not make it fall if u put ur dslr on it???
How tall is the one reviewd in the video? The listing says around 6 ft. Is that correct??
sorry you may have mentioned the answer to my question in this video already but i was applying my makeup while listening so i probably missed it. anyway i know the mount is not so sturdy for a camera but is it sturdy enough for a phone? also does the ring bend down forward to take some flat lays?
ruclips.net/video/kcdulUnmis4/видео.html
How do u adjust it to go however angle 📐 u want. When I do it sound like it going to brake :(
Make sure it's the right knob
was it hard to twist the second knob to mount your ring light on to it
Simple
So freaking adorable 🥰

I’d like to shoot with my go pro 9 (it’s the only ‘vlogging, camera), do you think the go pro is light enough for the in built mount?
easily
We can’t decide between the mount dog and the newer which one do you recommend?

@@BVCCo7 yes this one thanks!
A very honest and good review of the product.
Thanks for watching 👨💻
do you have to plug it in the wall?
Yep. There are battery pack options but different brands
thank you for making this video :)

💡 Looking for an alternative ring light? Check THIS out: ruclips.net/video/-ooKqHR1_Vk/видео.html
Yes, but you have two white rings on your pupils and that’s very odd and not good. So or you place the ring on the side, or I think it’s not a good solution.
I made this video just for you ruclips.net/video/A-RJTtV8B_I/видео.html
Can you charge your phone while using it?
There stand it self does not charge or have any outlets but if you mean charge and use yes.
Can it support a mirrorless or DLSR camera? Or is it not sturdy enough?
It is but not sturdy hence why I use a tripod through it
@@BVCCo7 thx man. great review btw~
Is it possible to add weights to the base of the stand to stable or replace the stand with something else?
weights would be a good alternative - the stand itself is just not the best design and don't think it's replaceable
How does it attach to the tripod? Is it a proprietary thing or could you easily put the light on a different tripod or mic stand?
It's a proprietary screw into a ball joint and not your stranded tripod mount
@@BVCCo7 Shame, otherwise you could just slap it on any stand you want. Lol can't make it easy can they. Anyway, keep up the good vids, I really like your content.

Hello Peter you're doing really great videos. I'm from France and I really like what you're doing.
Keep going!
Thanks Kevin appreciate it!
I think it was wobbly because you were meant to take the black thing on top of the stand maybe cause that’s what I did 😂
I just got this ring light and THAT SHIT IS LITTT LOLL
👌

Old trick is to add sandbags -tie to bottom of light stand for stability
can this ring light work as well for lightening my work space to make videos of me drawing ? will it be enough of light in the evning ?
I suggest checking out this guy ruclips.net/video/-ooKqHR1_Vk/видео.html

one upgrade at a time my friend
@@BVCCo7 Yes absolutely! I just upgraded my camera after 3 years! 😁
There is a £65 neewer ring light is it as good as the £120 one ?

Nice review! .It really pushing me to by my own Ring Light
Can't go wrong esp if you don't have lighting
thanks for sharing this review , i liked it ,
but i have a question , does 18"ringlight can light up the subject in 5feet away ?
I'd say yes
Wowwww that’s amazing
