Elgato Ring Light - Premium 2500 lumens Light with desk clamp and ball mount for Streaming, TikTok, Instagram, Home Office, Temperature and Brightness app-adjustable on Mac, PC, iOS, Android

Grabbed this whilst it was at a bargain price. I've already brought into the Elgato universe and have a couple of key lights and mobile lights, along with its Facecam Pro, mic etc.... The lighting really does make so much of a difference. But I was shocked at the size of the box when it arrived! The ring is huge, with plenty of space for a DSLR if required inside this thing and it comes complete with a Short Mount and all the bits you need to set it up with. Soon had it up and working and it works a treat, added easily to my control center to control the lights and and also on the stream deck. It certainly is bright and adds a good light which makes the cam look a lot more professional. And it just has a lot more quality than a lot of brands, but at the knockdown price of £119, I wasn't going to miss out and am glad I made the purchase. It's just bigger than I expected which doesn't make it quite so portable, but I doubt that I'll want to move it around that much, be aware, just in case you are looking for something compact and bijou, if you are, this isn't the light for you! But it's good quality and build, looks like it'll last, and works well so far, I'm happy with this and happy to recommend it if you are in need of a large ring light to basque you in a golden glow..... and grab it on amazon whilst its reduced!

This is my first ring light but I decided to buy it after many searches over the internet.The main reasons why I chose this particular product are :- I can control it via PC Application ( Control Center )- Or via Android Application ( Elgato Control Center )- I can later on use it more easily with the Elgato Stream Deck ( I am aspiring to become a fulltime streamer, I just started )- Very good quality build.- Other reviews ( of course.. )Now, I put in the there some photos so you can see (1) how the setup looks without any light source besides the monitor. (2) with the ring light dimmed at minimum brightness (3) with warm white at max brightness (4) with cold white at max brightness. So you can see for yourselves that the brightness is there if you need it. I personally don't think I need any other light sources as for now.Coming from many angles, the light doesn't make shadows on your face ( you can say it will lack depth but even though this is considered a professional ring light, I am still an amateur that this time I needed some good exposure so my webcam can pick up the details )Needless to say, it does it's job very well. Now from what I would've liked it to have.1. I had to unmount the table, get all cables out for that, all screws in order to get it behind the desk. The mount is very sturdy, it's just that it would've been nice to make it from two pieces, where one that could've slid before the desk. Of course it's not mandatory, but would've helped.2. Now I feel like I cannot really put it everywhere I would need it , eventually with the webcam or a camera mounted, because the mount is a straight bar that extends only upwards. I can only choose the angle from the top of the bar to make go downwards or rotate , but from that point I can't make it point closer to me. Would've been nice to have a flexible ( and sturdy ) arm so you can align it everywhere you would need it the most.3. Would've loved if it had colors too. Just to spice some things if you want to on the stream or if you have a photoshooting. Regardless, people sometimes use different other transparent foils or materials to put on the ring lights to get the desired result, so that is still an option if anyone feels like improvising.Notes :1. It is a bit heavy but it's also sturdy, I believe it will stay in place without problems.2. Fortunately, even if you don't have a Wi-Fi card in your PC, the setup was quite easy with the Android App. I had to enter the Ring's Wi-Fi and connect it to my personal Wi-Fi. When you connect to the Ring's Wi-Fi, you disconnect from your home one, so anyway, just remember your home Wi-Fi password for an even easier setup. Afterwards, the App from PC recognized the light instantly and also gave me an update for it. I wrote about this because on some videos people complained that it was a hassle to connect the lights to the Wi-Fi. It was actually a piece of cake.3. Next thing what I would like to do is to try and connect it with Google Home, but for now it seems to be tricky and perhaps by using some other 3rd apps that I do not know about.4. Yes, quite pricy sadly, maybe most of what this product has to offer can be obtained from a much cheaper ring light. But without the wireless and app control and integration with the stream deck !5. Since I cannot adjust the position of the ring light wherever I need / want it the most, I didn't try the mount for webcam / camera nor mobile phone but they seem to also have a sturdy base and yes, quality and heavy materials. I wouldn't be afraid mounting them.Have a wonderful day !

everything is perfect about this light but the included ball head for camera attachment is the worst I have seen in my life. Dear Elgato, please do find a better supplier for that ballhead.

I’d read the reviews both pro and con but decided as Amazon has easy returns I’d order anyway. I haven’t tested. with my laptop nor other control hardware but having erected the pylon clamped to my table. The whole set up is solid and I couldn’t find any instability nor wobble. I checked by trying to wobble it with my hand… nothing moved.I have the Elgato Promoter and Facecam Pro which I use for broadcasting however, I’m not sure that they’ll fit within the internal radius of this ring light. I think if they don’t fit then as I’m impressed with the ring light I’ll mount it above and leaning forward over the prompter to benefit from the ring light low shadow advantages. So long as I’m not blinded by the light, and it can get very bright indeed, then it’ll be great.I’ll keep you posted…

Bought this for my office setup for meetings and recorded events etc. Didn't anticipate how big this actually was, often pictures make items look larger than life, not with this it's 17" or 43cm diameter.The mounting is sturdy and adjustable. The remote app doesn't work on Android nor on my laptop so I can't access the advanced features #frustrating

I purchased the ring light specifically to have somewhere to mount my camera and provide some frontlight illumination. From day 1 it's never really worked correctly. both the mobile and desktop app frequently cannot pair with the device and it requires a hard reset and reconfigure almost anytime I want to use it.Help and support is non-existent, I was very happy with my streamdeck and I expected the same excellent build quality here but I was utterly disappointed.An almost absolute waste of money - It acts as a very expensive camera stand - even at that it tends to wiggle quite a bit which can be distracting during calls. Product simply feel faulty and does not meet expectations. I wish I had of returned it for a refund!

The light has many settings and very bright which is great. Doesn't hurt the eyes either as you're not looking directly at the light. Makes your imag look professional too!

I teach a lot on line for my business and some of the lights we purchased were not hitting the mark, however when I seen this on a youtube video, we decided to take a punt and are very happy with the outcome. It does encourage us to purchase more from Elgato ...
