ULANZIVL119 Handheld Light Wand, 360° RGB LED Video Light Stick for Photography, 2600mAh Rechargeable Tube Light for Video Shooting, 2500-9000K Dimmable Camera Light with LCD

Beginner's guide for video lighting. These are perfect for hobbyists trying to dip their feet in photography and videography

I was pleasantly surprised by the brightness level this wand produces. Very useful for adding color complexity to the subjects I photograph.

First, the light does work. Has proper 360 HSI adjustability along with saturation and brightness. The brightness is acceptable, not blow your eyes out bright but not too dim to be useful either. I purchased two of these and tuning both to the same settings does produce the same output. There is a LED display that is clear and fairly simple to operate with 4 buttons to change modes, color and brightness. It does have some of the vanity modes like police car and lightning that do work though not in my typical workflow so other than testing that they work haven't done much more. The lower quality comes in two things, first the light itself including the lighting end is really light and feels cheap. I'm a bit nervous of bumping it too hard as it seems like it will crack or break. The second thing is the power button, which is a recessed slide switch and to slide you have to push to get enough grip to slide it and it is cheap feeling like it will break by cracking inward from the pressure. I have been using my fingernail to catch the end of the switch to slide it on and off and that works ok. One thing I didn't thing I'd miss it that there are no magnets in the ends for impromptu mounting. This isn't a flaw but more of an observation that I didn't think I really needed it until I didn't have it like I do on other lights. Hope this helps!

Love the options. I could see battery life being an issue if you’re into using them more professionally but an hour or 2 at a time this is great for the price

Contento con mi nueva adquisición. Compré 3 porque ya tenía 1, mientras más fuentes de luz mejor.

Worked great

This light has multiple functions which is cool. It’s not nearly as bright as I hoped. And the battery life is not great. you are lucky to get an hour. I do not have any other of these types of lights to compare it with so not sure if that’s across the board on this kind of light or just this light.

I got my first mirrorless camera a few weeks ago and I am trying to learn the ins and outs of photography and videography. Since I still have no idea what I am doing, I am trying not to spend a ton of money on lighting and other equipment until I have a bit more experience. This light wand is at a great price point and good enough for a newbie to use to experiment with. It is also battery powered so I don't have to worry about outlets. It's also light in wight such that I can hang it off a magic arm from the camera's cage. It's kind of unwieldy when you do that, but it's nice that you can!
