    Idal comme fill light dans un ambiance trois lumire pour photographie ou stream. Mode batterie et mode AC, trs polyvalente. Intensit excellente pour la grosseur. Je recommande fortement, j’en ai maintenant deux de ces lumire, j’ai d aller dans mon grenier et j’en ai apport une pour voir, je voyais tout dans une obscurit complte.

    Very handy video light that has enough light to do well lit video calls in an otherwise dim room. The ability to operate this light from your PC is what sets it apart from most of the other options.

    Overall I love this light and I do not regret my purchase. For what it does with such a small package it’s excellent. Quality look and feel. It use it for work calls and it does a great job. It’s not really bright enough on it’s own (I’m quite fussy about getting light just right). However with two lights (currently the second light is a cheaper annoying alternative. In time I will just add a second Keylight Mini.
    This arrangement works well as being a glasses wearer I need one light really high and one light to the side to avoid reflections.

    Now, to the wifi / remote control. This light has the worst wifi setup of any smart device I’ve used. Nowhere in the documentation does it point out that it works on 2.4Ghz only, and it sort of tries to work on 5Ghz but it doesn’t. I cannot get this light to stay consistently connected to my network and when I set it up I had to reset it many times. I do have a slightly more advanced network with more than one wifi network so I have also uncovered the issue that neither the iOS app or the Windows control center allow you to manually enter the IP address for the device and instead rely on broadcast and MDNS which is makes it difficult to use. I have, for now, given up and just control the light manually. But that kind of setup from the company that brings you the incredible hardware they do is very disappointing.

    Still. I love this light and will probably add another.

    Tutto sommato un bel prodotto, sia come materiali che come caratteristiche.
    Penso che l’unica pecca sia che quando la spengo dal mio StreamDeck, come se rimanesse accesa, quindi tende a scaricarsi e quando accendo tutto, la connessione (anche all’app del telefono) ci mette diversi minuti ad attivarsi, anzi spesso devo premere i vari tasti per farla connettere.

    I love the flexibility, even down to running it continuously from a USB-C power adapter with the battery charging disabled in software. You pay a slight premium for Elgato but for me it is about review consistency re light quality and usability, not rolling the dice on something generic no-name branded.

    Lumire plus petite que je croyais. Lumire trop faible pour n’utiliser que cet appareil lors de la prise de photos ou de vidos. De plus, le pied propos en supplment est dmesurment gros pour la taille du panneau del.

    So far this lights definitely been great for streams I only would add the ability to change the tone of the light like every cheaper competitor between like cooler warmer.

    Acostumbrado a focos ms baratos, el salto es impresionante.
    Me da la posibilidad de anclarlo a cualquier superficie donde se acople el imn y eso es un plus.
    Tiene muchos niveles de brillo y es una luz bastante agradable y sin “puntitos”
    Adems puedo controlarlo con el mvil o con el propio OBS cuando estoy emitiendo en directo, as no me tengo que levantar a modificarlo a mano.
    La batera dura muchsimo.
    Una gran compra que ya me haban recomendado y me tiraba atrs el precio

    Larga duración, muy manejable y fácil de modifica

    Como todos los productos de Elgato, la calidad del producto es fantstica, y el software es genial.

    Ilumina un poco menos que el “Mini”, pero puedes montarlo donde quieras y lleva batera. Por el precio es un pedazo de foco, muy recomendable.

    First off, just like every key light Elgato makes, this thing is an amazing light. The adjustable lighting is nice as well. The selling point for me was the mobility factor of having it for traveling, and the battery power as well.

    Now to the negatives. I am unsure if anyone is also experiencing this issue, but I am unable to keep this thing connected to the Elgato Control Center. I had to manually enter the mini into the reg file so that it could be recognized on the system…and even then it isn’t always seen.

    Maybe a firmware issue, a software issue or whatever. I have it for a single purpose and that was so I didn’t have to buy another big light.

    First impressions are good, with well thought out packaging (a refreshing lack of non-recyclables) and a solid build. The unit itself feels sturdy, helped by the metal frame, and has a good weight to it. There is a threaded mounting point on one of the long edges for tripods etc. Would have been nice for a second mount on one of the otherwise blank short edges, to allow for it to be mounted vertically.

    Power, for charging the in-built battery or providing continuous power, is via USB-C which it good to see. The provided power cable has an unusual shaped plug which allows you to make a permanently powered setup look neater, but it will charge from most cables (eg I generally use the one from my mouse). The battery life seems good considering the brightness and Wi-Fi, and there’s a 5 segment power gauge on the back so you can check charge levels easily. Another good feature is the ability to disable the charging circuit (dubbed ‘studio mode’) so if you have things permanently plugged in then you can save some heat and wear and tear on the battery.

    The unit has built in wi-fi which can be used to control brightness and colour-temperature once set up, but it is possible to use the physical controls on the unit itself if you are away from a suitable connection. Worth mentioning that once set up, settings can be controlled from anything on the same wi-fi network, not just whatever you used to set it up. For example, you can configure the device using the mobile phone app, but then control it using a windows PC.

    The light given off is very good quality and properly diffused. Even on maximum brightness you can’t see the individual leds like you can on so many other products. The brightness is more than adequate for all but the most difficult scenarios or setups, such as being beside a very bright window. I would say though that they are not really bright enough to pull double-duty as photography lights, except maybe for a macro setup.

    Only two slight irks stop it from being perfect:
    The mobile app is very easy to use, and allows you to control multiple lights without a problem and there is minimal lag to setting changes. However, at least on Android, getting the initial connection working can be a real pain, with me having to repeat the wi-fi setup steps at least 3 times. However, once setup up they have been faultless.
    The physical controls are minimal with just a power button and a multi-use jog dial to control brightness and temperature. You switch between the two modes by clicking the dial in. However, to communicate which mode you are in, the main light of the unit flashes very brightly. This makes changing settings on the fly, eg in the middle of a video call, a no-go unless you want to answer questions about the flashing. It might have been better to either have two dials (one dedicated to each function) or a more subtle indicator LED. There are of course no such issues if you’re using the app.

    Overall I think these are great lights for the money, especially compared to what you can pay for similar photography-oriented lights. I’d say they would benefit not just the target market of streamers, but are also good for improving video calls for work. The build it very good and, once past the initial setup, the Wi-Fi control works perfectly. One of those products that impresses enough that I bought a second one very soon after using the first.

    It’s by Elgato, so it’s going to look and feel premium. It’s a fantastic portable light that can come in handy for an abundance of lighting possibilities even beyond the whole streaming scenario and uses. A bit pricey but overall a worthy purchase.

    This product, just as other Elgato products, is excellent. Very bright for its small size. convenient to put in the laptop bag. My only complaint is that in order to control it with the remote app (smart phone or computer), it has to be configured with wifi, and if you go on another wifi network, it will not be recognized until you reset the light and reconfigure it again in the app.

    I like the light a lot – makes me look pretty good in Zoom meetings early in the morning. Being able to control with my phone and Stream Deck is great however that control comes with a higher cost than less controllable lights.

    I have this mounted behind a TV for a streaming setup. I do have to unplug and recharge after each stream to ensure it will last for the next stream. But thats not a problem at all. It charges pretty fast. One full charge can last me about 2-3 hours at a pretty high brightness. Charges completely in less than 30 minutes. Came with a charger. I love the versatility of this light vs the larger key lights. Works with the app via Bluetooth perfectly.

    As an owner of a ring light and key light (both very costly), you’d think I’d have all the lighting I needed for my set up. Unfortunately I just needed a little bit of lighting so that all my streaming set up angles are properly lit and what better way to get that little of light with a “little” key light? I love the size and I feel that it is just as bright as the other two. I mounted it on elgato’s flex arm and it is perfect. Now I have all the lighting I need for my set up and I’m thankful for this cost friendly option, rather than having to spent yet another $200 on a ring or key light. Especially glad I waited until this went on sale for 20% off from its MSRP. I think this is best paired with the flex arm and the master mount as an FYI.

    I have a few other Elgato lights and bought this to try on top of my DSLR when filming video. Very happy with the results. Given that it is $100, it is a great deal. I wish the battery lasted like 25-30% longer. I’m sure v2 on this will have a little beefier battery. Right now at 50% brightness it lasts about 2 hours. If I turn it up to 100% its about 45 minutes. Not a bad tradeoff when you consider how much light it pours out. Also comes with a USB-C connector and an option in software to run the light entirely off the USB-C (to prolong battery life).

    Great light, great software, excellent quality. I got three, but one depletes its battery while in studio mode and the other one goes down to 65% and stays there, also in studio mode. Only the third one stays at 95-100% of battery charge in studio mode. It does not alerts you when the battery is below a certain threshold, it only allows you to decrease brightness or shutoff the wifi if it crosses the threshold you set. This is a problem, as when the battery is depleted, even if it is in studio mode, it is starts flashing if the other two lights are on, but remains steady if the other two lights are off… which is odd and seems to be a bug in the software.

    Also, for one of the faulty lights, it was a nightmare to pair with the wifi until I figured out that I had to reset it (I guess I got one that was used before because the manufacturer advises to reset if it was previously paired).

    Anyway, the lighting, feel and quality are great and I like it so much that I am not sending them back, just asking for a replacement. If problems continue, I will certainly send it back. Otherwise, I will keep it and might upgrade the rating to five stars.
