ULANZI VL49 2000mAh LED Video Light w 3 Cold Shoe, Rechargeable Soft Light Panel, Portable Photography Lighting for DJI OSMO Sony DSLR Canon Camera GoPro Vlogging

It has been a while since I looked for a small, inexpensive light. When I saw this light for such a low price, I decided to take a chance on it. The only thing I can think of is "WOW, this is an impressive little light. ". It is amazing how easy it is to use. This thermostat has more than five brightness levels, as well as a few temperature settings. The light is also powered by the built-in rechargeable battery and is easy to It was exciting to play around with this light, and I will definitely purchase it again. I urge you not to look directly into the lighting. It will be impossible to avoid spots for a few 'The photo is of myself taken with an iPhone 7+ in a complete pitch dark room, and the light is about two arms' length away. Light was set at the lowest brightness due to the possibility of the photo being blown out. I didn't do any post-editing on the photo, just took it straight out of my.

Having drained the battery, plugged it in for a few minutes, and then tried to turn on the light at full brightness while plugged in, I was able to determine whether this was true. It turned out the light had been left on for a while. I needed to plug it into a USB charger with a higher current. If you buy this light, be aware that you may not be able to use it while it's Other than that, the light is probably one of the best deals out there.

It is a small light that can fit in a mount or balance by itself. Despite its simplicity, the single white light can light up a surprisingly large area, or provide flash illumination any angle can be balanced when using white light Applying the same effects over a smaller portion of the image (like eliminating shadows or smoothing out Since it's rechargeable, there is no need to worry about batteries (and the permanent battery contributes to making it more lightweight). Among the Pros This is a very bright girl. It is rare that I use mine on its This includes a good battery life. There are also modern USB ports in this category. An AC power connector of the type C. This is a good fit for one person This product is for left-handed use only. A flashlight that can be used as a flashlight (and is much cheaper than your smartphone, so you can wave it around to guide others)

Negatives It doesn't fit in the hot shoe of my Canon EOS M6 (just a little too big)

Overall, a surprisingly functional and useful light, and well designed
Prices are reasonable. This book is highly recommended.

I am sure I would enjoy getting some Ap lights at some point. I have watched a lot of video reviews but from what I've seen you get a lot more bang for your buck when you buy two of these over one of the smaller apertures. The grade I have is I've recently been using the clamp with a mini ball head for attaching this light to ANYTHING remotely when shooting outside at night. It's used for latching onto rail rods and holding external monitors, etc. Grab hold of a road sign, a handrail, or any other object you can find. In addition, I can position the light according to my needs with the little ballhead. The result will be an amazing shot of a light that has just the right sparkle or If interested, the clamp I'm referencing is a SMALLRIG Super Clamp Mount with Mini Ball Head Mount Hot Shoe Adapter with 1/4 Screw, which costs 14 dollars.
Sure, you could mount it on a Gorillapod, but I prefer this compact mounting system that fits in my pocket or bag and allows me to attach these lights wherever I like. They are a pleasure to work with.

A light weight, inexpensive product. It could not be any better. The newer model has a diffuser layer that produces a very smooth medium-bright light There is a broad wash of white light with good CRI (I am unsure of the spectrum, but it renders colors well as far as I can tell). It attaches easily with a single finger and locks / unlocks with the same There are unusual switches on the device that control the brightness and display the battery level, but they're easy to figure out after experimenting with them a bit There are three wide spaced buttons on these gloves that are easily operable while wearing gloves. I am surprised by how good the CRI, or color rendering index, of this white light is. This is a much purer white than a lot of LED lights or LED tubes. With that high of light coming from that many LEDs and a Lithium battery, the light can be run continuously for hours on the highest setting. With other cameras, there may need to be an external power source. However, the light also works It would be neat if we could add daisies to the design This USB chain is portable and convenient The C cable and firmware could allow any of the units to control the settings in the others, but I'm not even sure I'd have any need for that. It has a 1/4" x 20 tpi tripod socket which is very useful for tripod mounting when you don't want to mount the light on your camera. This light from GoPro is nearly identical in appearance and size, but requires charging every two hours. I haven't used it for more than 4 hours, which may be an issue. However, there is a more negative alternative You can replace the batteries with another set As a result, it would significantly increase the price, and one of its main selling points is the extremely low price compared to most of its competitors. The Ulanzi photo accessories in particular, as well as the price point, are very compelling, and I'm convinced that their products are the best in the world. In fact, there is a replacement flip-flop available Integrated between the two flip-down parts is a tripod mount that fits between the two GoPro replacement mounts for the Hero9 The mounting system for GoPro has been taken down. Update

It has been quite some time since I first wrote this review of the ULANZI VL49. During the run-up to Christmas It is quite amazing how quickly time passes. After several hours at less than full brightness and using it for Zoom lighting, I never need anything near full brightness, so it will last for four hours. You can use your phone for 5 hours without running out of battery. I think the main thing worth noting is that the brightness settings are a little too coarse for the kind of lighting I need. In my Zoom setup, although this light works well with GoPros and webcams in general, I wish I could lower the brightness to less than level 1 in order to work more closely with the subject. It's interesting to note that the solution to this comes from the OTHER version of the problem In addition to the VL49 RGB, I also reviewed the ULANZI VL49 RGB. RGB version operates at the same brightness, but can be adjusted in small increments, so I can choose a dimmer setting, or if I want it extra bright (at 3 feet). In the RGB version, there are also 2 modes of color, and the same value can make a single color. There are three levels of color temperature warm white, warm yellow, and mid orange A lot of combinations of R, G, and B exist in light during the daytime, and the RGB color model represents this. In this case, there is a wide spectrum of colored light, but the combinations are not smoothly continuous from R through G to B. In order to do something, you have to follow certain There are lots of colors to choose from, but not all intermediate colors are available. Because RGB mode generally produces weird effects, or very subtle color washes, that's not much of a problem, especially for a device of this value. Even though the ULANZI VL49 RGB is just under $10 more expensive, it continues to be an excellent A second one has been ordered for Zooming, and the monochrome version will make a nice green-themed poster An illuminator for screen use.

This light is compact and powerful enough to light up your night vlogging sessions, or you can use it as an accent light.
I'm never the biggest fan of built-in batteries, however, I can understand why something this small would have one. As well as being always losing AAAs, I hate forgetting to bring them with me. In today's world, we can charge this device everywhere, in the car, via a laptop, by external power packs, etc. It emits only about 5500 Kelvin of color temperature. There isn't much I'd like to change other than a warmer color option. Despite being a small light, it comes with a diffuser cover so it's not as bad as it first seems, but you won't get large softbox results with it. It makes the perfect companion for anyone looking for a cheap but versatile camera.
