LUXSURE Ring Light with Stand & Phone Holder, Desk Ring Light 10″ LED with Remote for iPhone/Android, Overhead Phone Mount for Filming, Phone Recording Stand for Cooking/Vlog/Makeup/Live Stream/TikTok
Bluetooth Remote
It can connect almost all cell phones. It will be a good helper for you to take photos or videos.
Will this do the job? Yes, definitely. It is a solid metal frame arm that is sprung to support the positions without the need of tightening or loosening grips all the time. But don’t expect to move it silently, certain moves will result in a metal twang sound. So fine if you’re doing stills or don’t need to move it while filming.
The brightness is pretty good with warm, cool and daylight options. When in daylight you can see that the colder colour is around the outer edge, but it is only by looking straight at it that you can see this. It isn’t visible as an artifact on the object being illuminated.
The remote shutter button is great, simple to use. They even include a spare battery!
It folds away reasonably well, but for some reason the metal block supporting the light ring is thick and so don’t fully fold back against the arm. Find if you just want to leave it in place, but it means it consumes more space in storage unless you fully dismantal it each time.
It won’t remember your settings when power is turned off. So you can press the power button on the unit itself and it’ll switch on and off using the same settings. But if you unplug the USB cable or turn the USB powersupply off then when you plug it back in it’ll come back on at the default settings. Only minor but some presets / remembering the last settings would have been good.
This light is extremely flexible (no pun intended) and fulfils all our needs. Firstly, you can rotate, twist, tilt and angle it into any position imaginable, whilst being able to attach to any flat surface – whether it’s a table, desk, chair, any other piece of furniture and so on.
Secondly, the LEDs are truly bright and get rids of any shadows caused by ceiling lights, making the videos and photos look extremely well lit and a lot more professional. You can even get more light when using 15W power adaptors or banks. The bulbs can switch between the usual white/natural/yellow tones and has granular brightness adjustment, which is handy to control overexposure.
Lastly, the phone holder itself is fully adjustable, which allows the use of both front and selfie cameras! You can also change the phone holder to other types of accessories via the universal 1/4″ screw. Added BT remote is very handy for photos, whilst USB power means you can used it on the go with power banks and similar sources.
I highly recommend this ring light, though one thing I wish was improved is the base mounting mechanism – it’s the old type rotating bolt/clamp, but perhaps they should have added a little stand conversion or a claw grip like GoPros have to ensure you don’t need to rely on a flat surface being available for bolting on to.
This is a decent table-mounted 25cm ring light with clamp and arm, providing stability you just can’t get with a tripod.
The light source is from LED lights contained inside a plastic diffuser. The LEDs are USB powered (so you can power off a USB power bank to keep mobile). When powered up, the light is bright and casts an even light across your face (or an object).
It’s simple to use with 10 brightness settings (controlled through on-wire remote), and the option to switch between cool white, warm white and “both” with the press of a button. Also note the warm is much warmer and yellow than the bluish tinge appears in the attached photos.
The metal arm is well made with adjustment screws at every joint to help get the exact angle you need. The arms are counter balanced by springs which mean that you can adjust the arm into any angle easily and “let go” safe in the knowledge that it will stay where you leave it (though you can tighten up the screws to fix it in position and make it harder to accidentally knock). And this is secured to a table edge with a vice clamping mechanism. As long as you have a table edge, you have the ability to get much sharper angles than possible with a table-mounted tripod.
But note that the jaws of the vice will open up to a maximum of 5.2cm. This won’t fit tables thicker than that.
Also included is a small bluetooth remote (which can be paired with Android and iOS devices) so that you can start recording or take pictures without the camera shake caused by pressing the phone screen. The remote is a bit cheap, but it does the job.
Overall, this is a decent table mounted ring-light; the arm is well made and offers good stability advantages over tripod designs.
The LUXSURE 10″ Desk Ring Light with Stand & Phone Holder has become an essential tool for various tasks. With its remote control and adjustable brightness, it serves purposes ranging from video calls to makeup application. While it may not have the professional features of high-end studio lights, its compact size and versatility make it a valuable addition to my desk setup.
I haven’t used a ring light before so I was very impressed with the difference it can make to photos. It makes the photos so much clearer and sharper. The brightness is excellent quality, and you are able to choose various different shades and tones through the buttons on the cable.
The adjustable nature of the light and stand means you can avoid any kind of shadows and get the perfect shot. It’s also very light, and easy to take the whole set apart, so you can put it away when not in use.
There is a remote shutter button for use with the camera, using Android or iPhone. You just need to pair it via bluetooth.
All in all this is an excellent piece of equipment for producing well lit photos and videos.
I got this for use on my office desk to provide better light to my work area and to supplement lighting for video calls.
The light comes well packaged in a flat pack box with the contents secured by a custom foam insert. It’s very easy to construct – simply screw the ring light onto the stand and secure the stand to your preferred surface with the attached clamp.
The light is powered by USB A and I have mine connected to a USB port on a power strip under my desk. There is an inline controller on the power cable to switch the light on & off, change the type of light and the brightness. There are 3 light types and 10 brightness levels that can be selected.
The stand feels robust, with decent springs to hold it into a set position. The stand can also be used without the light, so you can use it to support a phone only or a GoPro for example so it is versatile. There are nice touches like the inclusion of a bluetooth remote for your phone and clips to contain the power cable on the stand.
My office is also used by my daughter when she returns home to visit and I know that she will get good use of the light for applying make-up, etc.
The light and stand feel of professional quality so I think it’s a decent value for money package.
Great quality, very easy to install, with different settings and adjustments, being suitable for type of desks widths.
The quality of the lighting is great, three different types of colours, and you can adjust the intensity accordingly with your needs.
We left in your kids study desk, great lighting for reading and studying time, also great for recording my paintings.
You can see in my video how amazing the quality is.
Great phone holder, no shadows or marks in your recording.
USB porting connection, great if you need to use it with a power bank.
Great price, great product.
It was very easy to set up this product because I just had to unfold it and then lock it on the desk and I have attached my tripod head. Because I work as a professional photographer for so many years I have plenty of lights and I prefer to use mine instead of the ring light that it came with because the intensity of the light it is kinda weak and it is not very helpful for me I use the stand almost every day and it is an easy process to place my phone and to adjust the angle based on what I have to film.
If for example even though I have a very solid desk, when I feel if I put my hands on the desk or I take something from it then I can clearly see movement in the video because these stand in my opinion is not that steady but usually I prefer the keep the products that I’m filming only in the air and like this everything is just fine.
It is still helpful for me because I don’t have to set up all the time I tripod and I’m using this product almost every day for roughly one hour and I like the fact that he offers me the possibility to change the angle easily but even in this case it is not my favorite stand because it is not as stable as I would like to.
Definitely for beginners this is a good product because it also comes with the ring light which I have tested and if the distance between the light and the subject is close then the video quality is more than fine.
Given the size of the box, I was amazed at the reach of the cantilever frame, it can literally cover just about any application, from close up to a wide high shot.
Built and installation is easy, bit there is a small instruction guide if you get stuck. Once built, you just use the clamp to attach it to a.solid surface, the clamp is quite large so will accommodate most desks/ tables.
The light itself is very bright and consistent providing excellent coverage. Adjustments can be made to the brightness (10 levels) and colour tone (3 tones) via the connected control box. Power is provided via USB which increases portability by freeing you from being tied to the mains socket, There is complete freedom of movement on the light via the pivot points, you can easily find the right position and once found, there are locking screws, although it already has plenty of tension.
If you want to take video/pictures, the phone clamp is in the centre of the light to prevent shadowing. It works really well and limits the glare that you get from normal overhead lighting. The included shutter remote, once connected to your phone, allows you to have complete control while minimising shake or accidentally altering the positioning.
Overall this is an excellent light source and it’s.versatility is brilliant. You can use it for anything from photography to a low cost work light. The only criticism I have is the clamp, I would have liked to see some sort of rubberised coating to prevent damage to the underside of the table etc but this can easily added by the user.
