This is a tremendous video. By demoing with the lights you are using represented, you really helped me decide what I need. Great job, and thank you!!
Indeed, this was a great video.
This is the best video for lighting I've ever watched. I love the guideline on the left side of the video and the examples. It helped me A LOT
Thanks! Very interesting and I didn't know there could be a difference in lights for set-ups.
Extremely well explained, thanks
This was some really useful information. Thank you.
Very good and informative video! Thank you. Keep up the good work!
Very helpful and to the point. Thanks 👍🏻
Here’s a game, take a drink every time he says *key light*
I bought one before I passed out. Can I stop drinking now?

This is a great video, and now I'm leaning towards getting a key light and a key light air for my set up. Key light air will be good for portability and the larger key light will be great for a more fixed set up, especially combined with the air as a fill light. I think that'll be a good combination!
Super well-made video, thanks a lot! :)
This was very helpful.
So helpful. Thanks.
The key light air's base should be a wireless charging pad. That'd be phenomenal
I do a lot of Zoom counseling sessions in my home studio and would LOVE this feature given all of my cables for music/video recording.
Super in depth break down, thanks :) I'm torn between 2 air or 1 key...
I would probably choose 2 air. Now the question is, 1 air and a ring or 1 air + key? haha
very helpful, thank you
I picked up the Ring Light first, but I don't use it with the camera in the middle, nor do I point it at myself. I use it like a Key Light at a 45 degree angle because it costs the same as the Key Light and has *almost* the same power (2500 vs 2800 lumens). I never need anywhere near the maximum power, so as far as I'm concerned the 300 lumen difference is not a deal breaker, but what I gain is flexibility if I decide to use it with a camera, and the convenience of tweaking the power with the manual buttons when I'm not near my Stream Deck XL.
One of the key reasons I decided against using it with the camera in the middle is the minimum height is way too high. I need to look UP the entire time, which isn't natural. Here's the catch-22. The Ring Light comes with a shorter pole, but the lowest position is actually too tall center yourself in the shot without looking up. If you get the weighted base to put it on the floor, it's too short. I hope you add a shorter pole to your accessory line.
I know this comment is about 2 years old but thank you for this
My gaming setup will be everything elgato , ordering my mic arm next week 😁👌🏾
Great video!
Thanks for this! I want to film objects on a desk as tutorials... I have a small room/space and would like to know more about this and lights to it. I guess the Elgato Key Light (1) might be sufficient?
ok so I just want to make sure, I’m building a gaming PC and will also be buying the Green Screen and was planning on getting the Key Light, do you think it’s better to get 2 Key Lights or 1 Key Light and 1 Ring Light? I was thinking that I’d have the Key Lights angled to the side rather than facing me directly.
Really well explained video. But will they be in stock so we can actually get them? xD
Would be nice if you could also buy the lights without the bases
and have a Multi mount XS since I still think that the min height is too high.
Would it be an option to have RGB next to them as well as matter support? Because I can see a lot of potential for more "home" like streams once you could team those up with hue bulbs for instance (not talking about a multi action that sets your scene in hue and then set a keylight to a certain white" I am more talking about dancing together with music, or using them along for scarier jumpscares for creators). would also allow for a lot more flexibility in regards of content creation, like say, a red glow in the eyes for a halloween stream or video.
What about two key light airs and a ring light will that also be a great setup for green screening
What’s the difference between the master mount l and s
Can I add a solid arm on a Key light air pole? I'd like to use a single pole with the the light and add an arm for a mirrorless camera. Since my desk is more than 6cm thick, that might be a good combination. I'm concern that the base of the key light air could be too light with the addition on a camera. Any suggestion?
@Elgato: I am wanting help with options on getting better green screen usage with Elgato Lights. I want to be able to have 1 or 2 people (Depending on stream and visitor etc) able to look right on the stream. Could it be my Camera? I am building this on a folding table that I am reinforcing with wood (Mainly so clamps don't bend the plastic and cause the lights etc to tilt) so it takes up minimal space when not being used and it can be moved fairly easily to other locations.
I own:
2x Elgato Floor Green Screens, 2 Elgato Key Lights, 3x Elgato Solid Arm, 2x Elgato Multi Mount L, 2x Elgato Phone Grip, 1 Elgato Cam Link (1080P version... I got 2 months before 4K came out :( ), 1x Go Pro Hero 5 Black, 1x Mid Sized Elgato Stream Deck (Original Gangsta lol), 2x Elgato Stream Deck Minis (I'm making buttons for when 2 people streaming.... (I'm OCD don't ask), 2x Blue Yeti Blackout Mics (Using the 2 Solid Arms and 2 Multi Mount L's to hold these on the Key Light Poles). 3rd Solid arm was purchased just in case I need it for the Camera.... Since other parts to come and Elgato/Corsair sells out of stuff so often thanks to covid...
I was thinking:
Maybe if I buy a Elgato Ring Light but then 2 people might look odd with the way the ring light will put its light out, but at the same time maybe the Key Lights will block that issue and the ring light will be able to basically help the camera out seeing the green screen and me/guest separately. That or a 3rd Elgato Key Light (More Lumens) and just use the 3rd Solid Arm and get a 3rd Multi Mount Kit or take a couple parts off the ones I have...
Worse case Scenerio:
1 Elgato Key Light $200 Each
1-2 Elgato Multi Mount Large $40 Each
1-2 New Camera and accessories if needed ($300 - $600+ ???)
Best Case Scenerio:
1 Elgato Master Mount L $50 each (If it is ever in stock again)
1-2 Elgato Master Mount L $40 each
1 Go Pro Hero 5 Black and needed accessories used ($200-$300)
Any Help/Suggestions/Informative Info would be great...
Thank You
Joe
Shouldn't one keylight and one keylight air or mini be a pretty great combination? Air/mini for that more dramatic shadow look, and key light for filling the rest.
It's unfair that this question gets no reply😮
And still no reply 😢
Can you change the lights? Or, when the lights die, the whole device dies? If that's the case, this are a line of expensive disposable lights...
Thanks man. Just bought the entire Elgato System to Livestream, This has been a great assist… cheers mate!
Where's your streams man!?
May I know if I am selling crystal in live, is key light or key light air best?
whats the recommended usage time for elgato key light air?
I first got the key light now I got the ring light but I haven't been able to get them working on the same network. Keylight is on 2.4 and ring on 5g. It's not making my life easier at all. How can I set them both on 5G so can control them at the same time on the same network?
Excelente
Can u guys make a xlr mic
i really really really hate the way that the products were referred to (like, saying "key light air works best as a set" vs "the key light air works as a set"), but the content itself is good and very useful!
How to access this Ringlight from the Philippines?
God that was good.
Elgato key light all the way for me
Hey,
My Elgaro Ring Light Wi-Fi is not powering up. Do you / Elgato Sell The Power AC (USA) Adapter seperatley? L Please provide a link if so?
Thank you.
was kind you
You didn't discuss the option of getting one "Elgato key light" to use for key light and combine it with a "Elgato key light air" to use as fill light. Is that because the "Elgato key light air" wouldn't be bright enough properly fill for the "Elgato key light" and utilize its full potential? Or is this actually a viable option?
I already have an "Elgato key light" and I am contemplating using the "key light air" as fill light because there is no clamp mount possibility on that side of my table.
If you're not using a Green Screen that should work well. The fill light isn't meant to be as bright as the key light. However with a Green Screen the consistency provided by using two of the same light is beneficial.
@@mdgm88 I ended up buying three Elgato key lights. That works well for three point lighting both with and without the Elgato green screen (which I also got). Together with my Camlink 4k and my old camcorder I know have an awesome setup for videoconferences (which I do many of daily from my home office).
@@simens8646 Nice. I'm going to try something similar with 3 Elgato Key Light Airs. Going to try in my worst lit location first (if it doesn't work there I'll relocate the lights to another location and probably try the Key Light though I don't want to clamp them to the desk). I don't have a camcorder to use though (well I think I might still have an old analogue one around somewhere that is inferior to a smartphone).
One of the reason why the Ring Light and Key Light combo could be a good option for some with a green screen is that although they are a little different, the brightness etc. doesn't differ as much as it does with the air, so you could configure them to provide a consistent light level for the green screen.
@@mdgm88 I had an 10 year old Panasonic HDC-SDT750 which was a respectable camcorder at it's time. It' delivers 1080p60 clean HDMI output and has optical zoom (which can be controlled with a remote control). This is significantly better and more flexible than the so called Logitec Streamcam which I got two months ago. It doesn't give the natural bokeh, that you would get from a low focal length DSLR camera, but it works sufficiently well.
I've also ordered a cheap light stand (with boom arm) to keep the Elgato Key Light I use for back light/hair light out of view.
I have noticed the issue you refer to wrt uneven lighting of the green screen. For me the third Elgato Key Light (back light) nicely spills some light onto the green screen, hence contributing to balancing out shadows. My greatest concern is that not all my windows have curtains and that bright daylight at certain hours of the day can interfere with my lighting setup. The Key Light is a nice product, but it can't really balance out sunlight.
I think, the best setup is with 2 key lights air
The principle is to only choose the right and not the expensive. This principle applies only to popular demand.
Now the common parameters of the latest lamps in 2022:
1. (1) There are 10 levels of brightness, and the color temperature is 2900K-6700K. If you can't reach it, you can pass it directly, because they are out of date;
(2) The computer clip used by 6-8inch has the disadvantage of damaging the computer screen. 10-12inch use desktop stand, limited lighting range and usage scenarios. 14-16 inches, these two sizes are relatively small, neither big nor small, and the scope of application is limited.
18-20 inches, more recommended, the brightness and usage scenarios can meet most needs, 21-22 inches, the brightness is better, but due to the large head of the lamp, the bracket is unstable and easy to tilt.
(3) Most of the brackets on the market are of the same specification, and the selling points of each are concentrated on the ring light.
2. 1%-100% LED display, I suggest that non-professional photographers do not need to choose, can you see with your eyes where the difference in brightness between 10% and 15% is? When we generally use it, we use our eyes to see if it meets our lighting effects. It is just like the general rotation and buttons to adjust up and down.
2.
There are two types of power supplies, one is USB and the other is Power Adapter with Plug. If you have high requirements on the brightness of the light, choose the Power Adapter with Plug, because it includes all the brightness of USB and higher.
3.
The number of lamps directly affects the effect of lighting. The more lamp beads of the same specification, the more evenly distributed the light. Color Rendering Index CRI>90, the higher the CRI, the better, the closer to natural light, the more expensive the price.
4. The more lamp beads of the same specification, the more uniform the light will be.
If you can't remember so many parameters, it doesn't matter. Look at the title. The parameters displayed in the title represent the seller's advantage. If the advantages of the title cannot reach the above parameters or the description indicates that this parameter is lower than the basic parameters on the market, Sellers want to highlight their advantages and make you want to buy.
Different usage needs, you can choose the one that suits you according to your own needs.

Is the Elgato Ring Light strong enough to bounce the light off a white wall (my desk is in a corner, so it will come off two sides) just behind so that I get strong enough light without the ring reflection on my glasses and without the strain on the eyes?
Probably not.
Yes
Still no stock, anywhere
Can you guys respond to the people having issues with the lights NOT connecting to our WiFi? I upgraded to 1000 down 40 up net & when I upgraded my light will not connect to the new WiFi just like others are having issues. Are you working to fix this? An ETA? Please just give us an idea before I have to sell my light. I need the light & this is putting a handicap on my setup 😢

So there's no clamp option for the air? That sucks.
Elgato is not available in India on Amazon

is that the razer guy?
Damn that audio almost blew out my speakers homie.
From where is the shelf with the rgb light on his left in the background? Saw it so often but can’t find it on google :c
2 months later, sorry!
I don't know if you're in the US but he's using a www.amazon.com/dp/B00P17WZRS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_i_PSDHRRNH4F353NN230N8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and I think he has an RGB bulb with it too.
Which one do you recommend for creating RUclips videos ?
They are all great for creating content. Depends on your specific needs and available space.
Got the ringlight and i speak now not in "performance" but the entire build up of the device.
This was the worst elgato product i ever had the plessure of building and setting up. I unpacked it and the first thing i noticed is that the cheap plastic ring inside is broken, which i had to fix, afterwards i noticed that this thing cant handle its own weight and collapses all few minutes, overall the entire structure of this thing is unstable left and right. the hight adjustment is not working correctly.
The mount is not made for every kind of table, i personaly use a extra level for my monitor so i can look straight forward and dont have to look down, welp cant fix the mount table to that since there i now a peace of wood in the way and i cant turn the lever arround. i had to remove the extra level for my desktop so i can install the mount. Some microphone mounts have a lever with a adjustable level so you can turn it arround no matter if there is something inbetween.
Overall the design is not rly well thought out, and im rly disapointed.
And no this i no blind hate, im a big elgato supporter and was overall happy with all the products: streamdeck, facecam, captures cards. This is sadly the first and hopefully last time i have to refund something from elgato.
The light won't connect to my router, keeps disconnecting the internet when it try's to pair
Light that needs connection to the internet. Now I've seen everything.
@@buttergolem8584 RGB wifi bulbs have been a thing for a while. I have a couple. Doesn't need internet to turn on, but you need internet to adjust color and brightness.
¿Como llegue aquí?
Why is not load when are you talking?
I want all of them T.T
Correct answer: All of them.
Any but the ring light. 180 pounds for a ring light which only feature is that it can be integrated until Streamdeck. Literally a rip-off of such magnitude that makes me cringe
A ok me los regalan :3

Y’all keep promoting these things but they are out of stock... What’s up?
This is at least the 2nd time they’ve done this. All the effort pushes people to their competitors!
Key light is in stock on Amazon right now and the other two are In stock on best buy
Quotes metric measurements, but USD prices... *scratches head*
Daddy chill
all of them are too expensive, far over priced
Tbh they are very cheap for high quality lights. Most professional lights are 600+
They do have a upprice but i say it is worth it
How about you guys quit dropping reviews, and up your production.
Idt one has to do with the other😒😒
