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

Which is nothing but goodness! :) I have to admit, I really had my doubts about this light, even after reading all of the positive REVIEWS. Now, after trying it out, I am REALLY loving this thing! Of course, I can't give a long term use REVIEW, but my first impressions were that of something that I would definitely give recommendations for it. As inexpensive as it is, it gives one pause, thinking that, well, it's so cheap, it can't be that good, but, really, I think that it is. (I bought this myself, so, nobody is paying me for this) ***The Light*** For my purposes, I wanted it for my 'product style' photography, and I tried it out, and not only gives out good light, it gives you a really nice shadow too. Some things you wouldn't want a shadow, but on a lot of my stuff, I want one. The shadows are soft, not really soft, but definitely on the softer side, than harsh. As an experiment, I added some bubble wrap around it to soften the shadows more, it works perfectly! The more that you add, of course, the less light, but it's definitely easy to modify. ***The Brightness*** I read where one reviewer in his video saying, it's so bright, I won't shine it on my face to show you. I thought, well, typical reviewer being all dramatic, but, I was wrong! This light is literally too bright to look into, I am not exaggerating at all, it's really big time bright! Dialing it down gives it anywhere from almost moonlight, but if the moon was closer! :) ***The Kelvin Rating*** The white light is really a great white light, I need that most of the time, but, if you want a lower Kelvin rating, just dial it back, it goes to a REALLY yellow color, I mean, REALLY YELLOW! I have not ever even used a light that had that capability, I don't really think I need that, but, I sure might, I may have to invent new ways of using it. It's very good on both settings! ***The Weight*** It's not heavy at all, I don't know the weight, but to give you an idea, it's maybe equivalent to FOUR AA batteries, if that. ***Camera Mounting*** This is actually, really and truly camera mountable, I mean, yeah, we know that, but, it makes sense to use it as a back-up light that you can use mounted or remove and hand-hold it if you need to. Since it's so lightweight, it won't weigh your camera down hardly at all. As it's said, you can use this for selfies and also YouTube videos. ***Macro*** I used to do quite a bit of macro and close-up stuff, I don't much anymore, but I know a good light for that when I do see it. This is that light! They make so many brackets that can attach to your camera that for best results, you would use that to attach this light, the reason is, you don't (usually) want your macro light right directly centered above your camera, it's not what macro users like. I am definitely going to try it out, and maybe I'll get back into macro, you never know. ***Other Uses*** I can sure see this as a camping light, or a car/truck light back-up, this will be perfect for the glove compartment or a tent. In a tent, I am not saying leaving it on all of the time, but when camping, we all need THAT light that will help us find the stuff that we forgot where we packed it. Also its ability to DIM, we can adjust the light to fit the need. Of course too, in any vehicle, we all know the advantages of having a good light for emergencies or when you drop something in-between your seats, or when you're getting a ticket. ***Suggestions*** It already has a LOT of good uses, but to help that even more, you may want to consider ways of attaching it. I would say, Velcro is a really good way to attach it to almost any surface, well, one that you can attach the sticky side to the inner part of your vehicle door, glove compartment, visor, etc. If you are camping, you can have it stuck to an area of the tent so when you need it, it's in that same spot, when you unpack at home, remove it and place it in a place to recharge it, then on your next trip, you'll know where to put it. It might sound crazy, but, for a small job stick a small Velcro strip to the underside of your cap, if you are needing light, place the light onto the strip, and you are set, remove it after your 'job'. ***One more thing, if you are more for magnets, use the magnet strips to keep it where you want it on your tool chest, car, etc. If you go and check here on Amazon there are a LOT of magnet choices, my preferences lean towards the really small, but REALLY strong, search for, "rare earth magnets", there are a good thing to have around anyway, this is just for the light. Also, they sell the magnets that are adhesive on one side, search for, "adhesive magnets". ***One more idea, say that you like the light being attached to your cap's bill underneath, but you don't want to leave it there. There are two options. The first is, using the adhesive style, leave the adhesive covered, as in, not yet used on the magnet, then when you need it, all you have to do is to peel off the protective wrapper and place it on your desired spot/object. ***If you like magnets, keep a few of the smaller rare earth magnets in a spot in your glove compartment or wherever you need to, when you need to use it, place one (or possibly TWO) atop of your cap, then place the light underneath your cap's bill. This method would make you have to have glued one or two of the magnets onto your light's back. That area should not ever be in your way and it won't really look that tacky, if that would bother you. _____________________________________________________________________________________ That's about it, I am REALLY excited to put this to use, and if things go south on the light, I will make it a point to come back and say so. For now though, I have a lot of lights for photography, this is MY FAVORITE as of right now. I also have a lot of flashlights, I mean, a lot, and while this does a REALLY good job of illuminating, the size somewhat prohibits placing it into your jeans, but would fit in a purse. I'm not saying it won't work, but it may not be as easy to carry on your person. That's my two cups of coffee's worth! : ) Anyway, here's to hoping it's as good as what I wrote!

Compact, bright, and very useful LED light I purchased the ULANZI VL49 LED Video Light for use with an action camera and mirrorless camera, and it exceeded my expectations. The light is bright, evenly diffused, and provides a soft, natural look without harsh shadows. The 2000mAh built-in battery lasts quite a while and is easy to recharge via USB. I really like the three cold shoe mounts, which make it easy to stack multiple lights or attach a microphone on top. The build quality feels solid, especially considering its small and lightweight design. This light is perfect for vlogging, indoor shooting, low-light situations, and travel setups. Works great with DJI Osmo, Sony, Canon, and GoPro cameras. Excellent value for the price — highly recommended.

For the price, I was expecting something decent, but this has quickly become one of my favorite and most-used pieces of gear. First, it is incredibly bright. I was not prepared for the amount of clean, powerful light that comes out of such a compact panel. It's more than enough for vlogging, product photography, or just filling in shadows. The light quality is fantastic it's soft and even, making everything look more professional without being harsh. The versatility is another huge win. You have full control over both the brightness (from a very dim glow to full power) and the color temperature, letting you dial in everything from a warm, cozy yellow to a crisp, neutral white. This feature alone is something you'd expect to find on much more expensive lights. The build quality is solid, and it's so small and lightweight that I just toss it in my camera bag without a second thought. It's incredibly easy to use right out of the box with simple, intuitive controls. I have bought several of these and no one has ever broken down. I know at some point the batteries are supposed to give out, but I had some of these for 2+ years and they still hold the charge. If you're a content creator, photographer, or just someone who needs a high-quality, portable light source, you absolutely cannot beat this for the value. It's a compact powerhouse that delivers professional results. Highly recommended.

great price and super convenient. pocketable and light. it’s great that it charges with USB C and u can have it plugged in while it’s on. i wish it got a little bit brighter but for 20 bucks i can’t really complain

I really like this light—it's quickly become one of my favorite gear additions. The build quality is excellent, especially for the price. It feels sturdy and well-made, not flimsy or cheap like some other portable lights. Where this really shines (literally) is in its portability. It’s super lightweight and compact, making it easy to throw in a camera bag or even a jacket pocket for quick shoots or travel. Perfect for creators on the go. The brightness settings are incredibly versatile. From soft ambient light to ultra-bright fill, it gives you full control over your lighting. The bi-color temperature adjustment (2500K–6500K) is a fantastic touch, making it easy to match different environments or moods without needing gels or filters. Setup is a breeze—very easy to use right out of the box. Controls are intuitive and the display is clear, so adjusting mid-shoot is quick and smooth. I’ve used it with both my DSLR and action cam, and it really improves photography and video quality, especially in low-light or indoor conditions. Skin tones look natural and shadows are nicely filled without being harsh. If you're looking for an ultra-bright, compact, rechargeable light that delivers high-quality results for photo and video work, this is absolutely worth picking up. Great value, great performance!

Bom custo benefício

Great little light, very bright and easy to control. Once I finally figured out how to mount it to my Canon 4000d, was simple !! Great value for money and it is very portable, also fits onto my tripod for convenience 😀 battery life is also impressive! 5 stars 🌟

A small yet powerful cold shoe mounted light with variable brightness. Easy to use and light weight.

Ricevuto nei tempi attesi, e’ una luce imbarazzante per quanta luce fa. Questa La tecnologia led da comprare anche in più quantità per non avere più paura del buio quando la si usa con una telecamera oppure con un cellulare. E’ leggerissima e sta ovunque. Sia nel taschino dei pantaloni sia nella borsa

Great! It arrived fast too xD
