Just stopping by to say thank you, your work doesn’t go unnoticed, very detailed review just wanna say keep up the good work & to anyone else reading this have a good day! all we must spread is positivity.
Great video. I'm on a budget, so the Sensyne looks like the best option for me. As far as the more expensive ones go, I like some things about the Elgato light, but the Control Center issues would drive me absolutely nuts.
This video is so well made and easy to understand. You gave me more information about these ring lights in 13 minutes than I've found in a few hours of research.
Thank you so much for this detailed comparison! I have been losing my mind searching through a sea of ring light listings on ebay and amazon. So glad I found your informative video!
I feel like elgato was soooooo close. If they had an option for a tripod, included phone mount, and more optimized app control It'd be a must buy. I'm gonna start with the sensyne and then if I need to upgrade I'll get the elgato and just use the sensyne tripod. Thanks for the vid 🙏
Logitech Brio webcam and I basically just switched between all these different lights as I demonstrated them. At the end it was the Elgato Ring Light + Neewer 18" Advanced Ring Light together.
You have honestly some of the most down to earth reviews of the stuff Im interested in. Not a bunch of hypebeast crap, fluff or other stupid stuff. I rather watch you do your think than anyone else right now when comes to tech reviews. Thank you all you do.
Excellent. The only reviewer I could find who demonstrated how to mount the Elgato to standard photography mounting systems. Many of us are not interested in using Elgato’s proprietary mount. A stronger ball mount (e.g. a Manfrotto 494 Center Ball Head; 17.6 pound load capacity) on a sturdy floor or tabletop tripod stand with 1/4-20 UNC threads would be much better than the Elgato mounts.
Yep, when I first bought it, I didn't even realize there was a standard thread on the bottom. I know Elgato is trying to sell their Multi Mount system, but it's like they're hiding it.
I was going round looking for a ring light nd when I stumbled on this vid, I said, 'Iv seen very many reviews. But, why not give another one a try?' And yoh. Am glad I did. This is the best review I've seen. Also, it's interesting how I finally settled on the Sensyne. I feel like it's the best bet to try out, more compatible with environments and mobile devices. So yeah. Thank you for the great review.
very well descripted video really helps me in the prosses of what kind of lighting I am going to go with. Also gave me an idea of some videos I could make thank you
Great review matey. Interesting to see the range of lights and what you get for your money. I do like the Elgato ring light and you brought up a good point about putting it on a tripod as I have a DSLR camera and was thinking of purchasing a ring light. Thank you for the review
I definitely need to make an updated video of this as some great new options are out now. But to break these down: The Elgato Ring Light is still #1 on the market - I use it to this day. I use the Neewer 18 inch Advanced often, still great. The Neewer 18" (not advanced) is better than the rest of the lights. MPow got banned (lol) Sensyne is okay but there's a lot better options now. I still use the tripod though. Same goes for Ubeesize. Mactrem I'd avoid.
Thanks so much for taking the time to make such a thorough video. On a budget at this point so looks like the Sensyne will work for now until we can upgrade to something better later. I learned more from this 14min video than 2hrs of searching on Amazon and Google. You, my friend, are a gem! :)
I also compared the Neewer 18" Advanced Ring Light to the older Neewer 18" model here: ruclips.net/video/BOgsvuwNotQ/видео.html.

Thank you soooo much for taking the time to make this! It's been immensely helpful!! Really appreciate your generosity of spirit and all the detail you go into!
I've been looking a lights and watched a couple of your videos. I'm almost ready to purchase but have a quick question. On the elgato ring light ball, is this a standard 1" ball? If so, can the clamp be replaced with a Ram Mount ball clamp. I use them on my ATV and other off road equipment mounts.
Brother.......my goodness what a GREAT review! Thanks man, saved me a ton of time I was comparing two of the most popular ring lights on Amazon at the moment. The budget Sensyne model and the Neewer ring light. Now I know I can go for the budget Sensyne model, sometimes I record or stream during the day but mostly it is done at night when I stream games so it's a must and I like being able to drive more power to it via outlet as well. I know this video took some work to put together and it's appreciated. ;)
Since like myself, you wear glasses I thought that you could answer this question. You said you had your light about 15 degrees off from center, so I don't have an accurate basis for comparison. But if I were to place the Newer ring light front & center, with it somewhat above eye level, how bad would the reflection be off my glasses? Would the reflection obscure or distract from my pupil?
It's pretty strong. I don't personally find it super distracting, but the rings will look giant with glasses head on unless you raise the light significantly. I use the Elgato right in front of me but I have it raised much over eye level for that reason.
Understandable. I'll put up a written review going more in depth on the Mpow (this video was already getting way too long). But honestly, I didn't like that light at all because it was too dim, cheap build, and short USB cable length. I definitely don't recommend it, but if you like yours when it comes in then I respect it.
Thank you so much for this …I definitely didn’t want to go through the reviews and do a coin flip to buy my new ring light. I appreciate your work so much God bless💓
Such a great review, covered so many questions and even went beyond to let me know things I didn't know I needed to consider. Had to let you know! Thank you!!
Thanks a lot my man, im going for el gato even though is expensive a.f but it's a long term investment so be it. thanks a lot for your review, one of the best reviewers ive ever seen on youtube, for real. thanks
These all need to be plugged in except the Mpow (which is way too small and I think got delisted). For something on the go, I'd look into one of the Lume Cube ring lights. It comes with a battery. Never got around to getting one to review myself though.
The non-advanced older model doesn't have a remote and you have to put diffusion plates on to make the light softer or change the color temperature. The models aren't that similar, so I think I'll compare them eventually since Neewer has so many.
Check out the Lume Cube ring light, I think it's recently released but it's on sale now (and combined with the discount code it's hitting around 150$) Has features that are missing from some of the ones in this video like battery mode option, included tripod/light stand, etc Just watched the point in the video where the elgato ring light fell over on the ball mount (totally agree not good design/ i have the stream deck from them tho) Thanks for making these lighting review videos! Helped me feel very comfortable in getting a ring light instead of another setup
Yep, the Sensyne is actually the main tripod I use with it when I take the Elgato off my desk. Any tripod with a 1/4th inch thread works with the Elgato Ring Light.
I am an artists and need to light what's on my desk for zoom lessons. I plan on mounting the ring on an articulating arm so that the ring is parallel to my desktop and the phone is mounted in the middle of the ring, I am concerned the phone will leave shadows on my art as well as the ring staying in place and not listing downward. Which do you recommend? TIA
Sorry for the really late reply. If you still need a recommendation though: The phone won't cast a shadow because the shape of the ring is going to fill in light from all directions. I'm not sure how much weight your arm is designed to hold, but both the Sensyne and Elgato Ring Light can screw onto it as long as it has a 1/4th inch thread. I would get the Sensyne because it's lightweight, not that bulky, and comes with a phone clip in the box. The Elgato is going to be way brighter, but for lighting your desk the Sensyne should be sufficient.

This has to be the best video I've seen reviewing ring lights, and I'm not even done watching. I just know!! Thank you so much!!
Someone should be paying this man for the quality review.
Thank you so much for this detailed comparison! I have been losing my mind searching through a sea of ring light listings on ebay and amazon. So glad I found your informative video!

soooo what cam and lighting did you use making this video
Logitech Brio webcam and I basically just switched between all these different lights as I demonstrated them. At the end it was the Elgato Ring Light + Neewer 18" Advanced Ring Light together.

Amazing in-depth review, thank you! Def torn between the Neewer and Elgato now lol
I’m stuck between those 😩

And yoh. Am glad I did. This is the best review I've seen. Also, it's interesting how I finally settled on the Sensyne. I feel like it's the best bet to try out, more compatible with environments and mobile devices. So yeah.

Is that true or false
It's the pink microphone 🎤 for me 💗 Thx for sharing ☺️
Elgato light is only $99 now. I am buying it :)
Cool review I think I will get the Neewer thanks for all the info
very well descripted video really helps me in the prosses of what kind of lighting I am going to go with. Also gave me an idea of some videos I could make thank you
for the neewer, that's the one with out a treat you can get a spigot with a 3.5 inch screw in the bottom. Then you can screw it in on any tripod.
Thanks for helping me decide which one I’ll be getting my girlfriend for Christmas! Really helpful
Thank you so much for this! Excellent breakdown of all the ringlights and their features!
Great review matey. Interesting to see the range of lights and what you get for your money. I do like the Elgato ring light and you brought up a good point about putting it on a tripod as I have a DSLR camera and was thinking of purchasing a ring light. Thank you for the review
For sure. Trying these all out side by side made me understand how Elgato is able to charge what they do for it. Thanks for watching!
sensyne seems pretty good for the price, so ill probably be buying that.
Same one I'm getting, looks like a good starter ring light for streamers (but the tripod's build quality looks amazing and sturdy).
Are these still creditable in late 2023 or are there better options now
I definitely need to make an updated video of this as some great new options are out now. But to break these down:
The Elgato Ring Light is still #1 on the market - I use it to this day.
I use the Neewer 18 inch Advanced often, still great.
The Neewer 18" (not advanced) is better than the rest of the lights.
MPow got banned (lol)
Sensyne is okay but there's a lot better options now. I still use the tripod though.
Same goes for Ubeesize.
Mactrem I'd avoid.
Thanks so much your are fantatsic
Finally, a video that compares and contrasts ringlights! Thank you, man. Now I can decide which ringlight to buy for future videos
Thank you for the video. It helped a lot.
Did you shoot this using the Brio?
Yes
Thank you! This is by far one of the best comparison videos I've found!
Neewer is 65$ right now with the promo code
Thanks for detailed review
Now this is what you call a review! Thank you!!
Great video Sir! Your attention to detail and the thoroughness of the content were awesome. Thank you so much for your time and effort !

Well done. Super complete, clear and honest.
YO I love that shirt! Also thank you for this! :)

Thanks a lot my man, im going for el gato even though is expensive a.f but it's a long term investment so be it. thanks a lot for your review, one of the best reviewers ive ever seen on youtube, for real. thanks
Thanks and for sure, I still use it as my main light to this day. It's super good.
I play in the chair with my Ps5. Isn't the Astro a40 MixAmp bulky? that the Mixamp Helmets me Hanging?
I make tiktoks and was wondering what the best led lightbulb is to pair with the neewer ringlight?
I got the Sensyne but the 14 inc version…that thing is not sturdy 😂😂 maybe the 10” is sturdier 😅😅
Lmao the clicking sound woke up my cat 😂😂
Mine smelled like mechanical oil. Had to send it back. Has anyone else experienced this?
Very good videos about lights, very useful. Thanks!
This help me out sooo much. Thank you for this video.
Best review! Keep going your thing!❤️
Thank you so much for sharing!
Awesome vid, thanks for sharing man
This is the best review! Thank you!
Awesome video man! thanks! :D
This was the best review I ever watched.
Great info. Thanks!
Thanks for the review bro, +1
Just got this ring light thanks
Thank you for this
Tripods are for cameras. Lights go on stands
Omg this review was super helpful thank you! What camera did you use to film your video btw? The quality is amazing!
Thanks, I used the Logitech Brio at 4K
love your energy! keep it up
Great review also Can I take it on the go to shoot pictures or does it require it to be plugged up to use it?
These all need to be plugged in except the Mpow (which is way too small and I think got delisted). For something on the go, I'd look into one of the Lume Cube ring lights. It comes with a battery. Never got around to getting one to review myself though.
Is there a difference between this neeweer ring light and the older version. Price is 65 on the old one and new one is 140
The non-advanced older model doesn't have a remote and you have to put diffusion plates on to make the light softer or change the color temperature.
The models aren't that similar, so I think I'll compare them eventually since Neewer has so many.

Thanks for watching, and nice I just checked it out. I think in my next batch of purchases, I'll get one to review. It looks pretty cool.
UwU
People say the stands are too weak.
I've had no issues
The one I have from Lume cube has been sturdy under constant / daily use
Nice video 👍 love from india
This video is so detailed an honest. Thank you!
detailed vid wow. great job
What tripod works with the elgato? was the sensye tripod acceptable?
Yep, the Sensyne is actually the main tripod I use with it when I take the Elgato off my desk. Any tripod with a 1/4th inch thread works with the Elgato Ring Light.

Do all the ring lights allow you to mount a Logitech web camera?
The Sensyne, Neewer, and Elgato do - they come with a ball mount.
Thank you finally some one made this
Thank you 🙏
thanks so much for the review by the way!
Great video, you could probably add some background music to fill things out a bit. But your voice is really charismatic! Impressed!
Astounding reviews 🙌
What’s the healthiest one
this has helped me so much thank u
Hi! For outfit tiktoks, do you recommend Neewer or elgato? Please help! I’ve been struggling
Thanks dude!
omg I love your mic!!
