Secure your smartphone using the flexible phone holder or mount your camera using the 1/4-inch screw adapter. Connect the USB cable to a suitable power source, such as a computer or a wall adapter. Use the integrated controller to select your preferred color temperature and adjust the brightness intensity to achieve the desired lighting effect for your specific task.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your power source provides sufficient output for the USB connection.
- Verify that your device weight does not exceed the load capacity of the accessory tray.
- Check the available floor space to ensure the tripod base can be fully extended for maximum stability.
Usage recommendations: For the most natural look, position the ring light directly in front of the subject at eye level. To avoid unwanted reflections when wearing glasses, slightly angle the ring light downward or move it further away from the subject. Always disconnect the USB cable when the device is not in use to preserve the lifespan of the LEDs.
