WOW! You get a lot of stuff when you buy this. My wife and I do a weekly blog, and we have been doing it with a smart phone on a tripod on a TV tray. This set up works 100% better than that and it is portable. Since it came with 2 of everything and a carrying bag, we leave on set up where we do our weekly recording, and we have one in the bag to take with us when we travel and do remote locations. This product is well made out of quality materials. Lots of options on quality of light so you can make it fit whatever need you have.

This LED video light kit has been really useful for our podcast. The lights are bright but fully dimmable, so we can adjust them depending on the setting. The sturdy tripods extend to a good height, making setup easy. The phone holder is a nice addition for recording. The build quality is solid, and the lights give a clean, professional look without being too harsh. They work well for video recording, streaming, and general content creation. Overall, it’s a practical and reliable lighting setup for anyone needing good, adjustable lighting at a reasonable price.

Definitely not as bright as marketed. I wouldn’t buy it or suggest it to others.

For $47 for the “Shirtal 12" LED Video Light Kit“ isn’t a bad option. The lights are USB-A powered and don’t come with power bricks. The cables aren’t very long, so plan on an extension cord along with a USB-A brick (you’ll need two!). My wife wanted an impromptu photo session with some neighborhood kids, so I set these up pretty quickly. The lights were bright enough to give decent exposure for the camera, and they did not flicker. The included light stands were very lightweight, but so were the lights, and they didn’t get damaged when they fell over. The other parts that look like phone holders of some sort were very cheap plastic, and the phone tripod was only a couple inches tall at its highest.Overall decent for the money, and good enough lights to use for a video call on your computer too.

For less than $50 this kit provides a portable studio for video conferencing or ad hoc video production, such as an interview. etc.There are two tripod stands for the lights that have four separate height adjustment clamps. The light bracket swivels to cast illumination in just about any desired direction, such as bouncing it off a wall for soft lighting or using the second light to fill in shadows, either eliminating them or filling them in as much or as little as desired. The tripod stands collapse down to a size that fits into a zippered case for the entire kit for transporting them to gigs.There are phone holders for each tripod that can hold your phone in a portrait or landscape orientation. The snap collar that is used for the phone holders was a little weird at first, but I think I have that figured out. The directions are a bit sketchy, I guess they assume anyone needing this kit must already know how to make it all work -- not!The LED lights themselves are pretty large at 12" and a square form factor with light beads across the whole surface, far superior to the round lights with your phone in the center of a circular string of LED beads. The color is tunable from 2800K to 4800K or 6500K, and brightness can be adjusted to ten different levels (10% to 100%).The lights draw 15W so can be powered from your phone, an asset for locations without power -- you can create a video or make a video call from anywhere there is a cellular or Wi-Fi signal. To facilitate that they included two USB-A (female) to USB-C (male) adaptors. For use with AC supply you may either need an extension cord to get your power charger close or a USB extension to reach an outlet.There is also a table-top tripod that can be handy is some scenarios. Be careful to pull the legs radially instead axially to deploy them. A bit counter-intuitive, so be careful until you get familiar with them. The instructions were not that clear and you do not want to break off a plastic leg.As for the construction, I was a little concerned at first to see so much plastic. But consider the price -- plastic is much cheaper to fabricate, and the design is clever, and the plastic appears quite robust, so my initial fears subsided as I thought about it. I just try to be as careful as possible setting up the gear and that gets easier after doing it several times.I used to have a slap-dash, homemade, ad hoc collection of pieces to support a video call from my phone. We had books raising a tabletop stand and some goofy altered photography tripods and depended on adjusting room and table lights that never really achieved our desired lighting conditions! That stuff is no longer needed now that I have this kit that all stows in a surprisingly small, zippered case that is smaller than a violin case.My only remaining concern is that the case is a little flimsy, however, again consider that price; they are not going to put this into a $75-$1500 hardened Anvil case, nor should you. If you have a lot of money, you can buy professional lights kit with a ruggedized case. But you ain't never going to find as good a kit as this one for less than $50!
