important: the price has changed on this item, so please consult the link before you make your purchase.
i purchased it at $49.50. it's listed for $81.99 right now with a $15.00 coupon at the time this is being uploaded.
includes:
light
AC adapter
78-inch tripod
color filter (white and orange)
hot shoe adapter with rotating ball joint
remote shutter with bluetooth capability
smartphone holder
initial thoughts:
the brightness is insane! i am so impressed with the quality for the value. i like that the color filters are easily interchangeable, and the fact that it comes with the hot shoe (my previous ring light didn't and i had to search far and wide to find one so i could mount my camera.) it has multiple LED's to distribute the lighting better, and doesn't use much energy to power. i do wish the smartphone holder was a little higher quality, but that's just a personal preference. i appreciate the thoughtfulness for including the remote shutter as well. i have a feeling that this ring light will last me for the next 5 years, if not more.
what's good? how ya doin? 2020 hasn't been particularly kind, but i'm still making it as best i can. a quick summary of the year to let you know what i've been up to:
jan - april -- worked on Obsidian Cosplay (i know i still need to upload the WIP footage)
april/may -- worked from home on alternating weeks for the stay home order. kid finished 9th grade.
june/july -- closet cosplay, celebrated my birthday
august/october -- made one new cosplay for halloween, the kid attended 10th grade with at home learning, and working on a couple other closet cosplays
november so far -- replacing my ring light that finally died.
i haven't needed to buy new makeup for anything, but i have been playing with facepaint again, so i'll try to film some of that next time. i hope that everyone is safe and healthy! wash your hands, wear your masks and practice good social distancing PLEASE.
