YONGNUO YN216 LED Video Light Camera Shoot with 4 Color Plates for Canon Nikon DSLR Camera

Good purchase. It doesn’t successfully replace a light box for photography. So if you’re looking to do that, maybe purchase an actual light box. But itself as a light, works great and durable.

Thank you as advertised

Wow. That sums it all up. This is a great light with a ton of different uses. I bought the rechargeable batteries for this. This was more then expected.

This light is just so small and bright. It's actual magic. The only thing I would say is that it creates crazy harsh images, so never use it to light someones face unless you have a softbox or you want them to look like a psychopath. The filters are really hard to make fit and I've never really got them to seat properly. I use this as my back-light (hair-light) and it works flawlessly for that, just make sure you have a boom lightstand so you can keep the light out of frame (it will totally wash out your shot if it get in it).

I have a photography background but have recently started experimenting and recording video. After a few uses, I can say it was a purchase, especially for the value. It would be good if this model had temperature operated control and bulbs though. Though it is really bright, the throw is still very narrow. I used it in an indoor shoot last week and tried to bounce it off 5ft reflector for soft light. It helped balance the light coming from the nearby store windows, but i couldn't put it direct on the model - just too harsh for the situation. I'll maybe try and find a larger lightsource for a key light and will use this either as fill or back/accent light. I plan on using this for back lighting for photography use as well. Great product overall. I'm excited to use it more.
