Advantages

Its 26.5 cm diameter creates a natural catchlight in the eyes and is suitable for head-and-shoulders framing. The integrated tripod extends to a practical working height while folding compactly for transport and storage. USB power ensures broad compatibility with common USB power sources and simplifies setup for indoor and on-location use.

How to use

Mount your smartphone or camera in the centre of the ring (use a compatible holder if required) and set the tripod to a comfortable working height up to 138 cm. Connect the USB cable to a power source such as a power bank, computer USB port, or USB wall adapter. Adjust the ring position and distance from the subject to control light intensity and shadow softness; closer placement increases brightness and softens shadows, while moving further away reduces intensity for wider framing. Use camera or phone exposure settings to fine-tune white balance and brightness for accurate color reproduction.

Recommendations

For portrait and beauty shots, place the ring light slightly above eye level and angle it downwards to achieve natural shadows and flattering illumination. When recording videos, combine the ring light with ambient room lighting to avoid flat lighting and preserve depth. Use a stable USB power source with sufficient current output to ensure continuous operation during extended sessions.
