There are literally no downfalls to this product. I was a little iffy purchasing this due to the price, but I am so thankful I did. My selfies and videos look so much better now!! It comes with two different covers to put over the ring light (warm and white) which I definitely appreciate so I can switch up my pics. I like to use the white mostly though, definitely for my makeup tutorials. It also comes with a carrying/storage bag for when you travel. If you’re a photographer, beauty blogger or just someone that loves taking bomb selfies, you should for sure get this!!

Update: originally gave this a two star review due to a faulty cord and missing screw which meant it wouldn’t stand up however: the customer service team reached out to me to replace the faulty parts. I had just gotten rid of the light since it wasn’t working and sat around for 6 months. They replaced the entire thing.
The replacement works famously. And the fact that they reached out to fix the issue meant a lot to me.

I ordered it to document my makeups... I am amazed on how powerful the light is! And how easy to assemble as well !
Attached are pictures with the differenct coloured covers... the room's lights were completely off... I just had the ring light on. I took pictures with the lowest, medium, & highest intensity.

The stand can stretch REALLY tall... in the picture, I only stretched 1 of the 3 adjustments & had the tripod legs lay completely flat to meet the height of the client sitting on my chair.

The phone adapter attaches to the inner base of the ring & comes with a bluetooth remote. I didn't need to download any additional app for my samsung s7.

It comes with 2 types of power cords: the typical flat plug and the round plug

Can't wait to see the perfectly lit pictures of my work!! 😁

Super easy to set up. The ring light sits a bit heavy for the tripod but just angle it right and I should be good to go. It includes two filter options which are plastic covers for either white or warmer (orange) light. Wireless remote is a cute option but not the best function as it didn't always work. The tripod can accommodate screw in style accessories like phone or iPad mini holsters. The ring light must be plugged in which can get tricky if you're not close to a power outlet so be prepared to have an extension. The light is super bright and has several settings but usually people don't want it too bright for when I use it at parties especially if the lights in the room are out, the light is more than enough at the first or second setting. I really enjoy this light and it's a perfect beginners kit that makes it look like you're a pro.

J'ai reçu le carton sans emballage excessif. L'ensemble des produits étaient bien protégé. Les trépieds ainsi que le projecteur sont parfait. Attention toutefois à la manipulation car pour le prix, ne vous attendez pas à du matériel de qualité "Allemande". Sinon, cela fonctionne très bien. L'éclairage est a doser avec prudence car on se retrouve vite avec des vidéos trop "blanches". Je recommande vivement pour toutes les personnes disposant d'un petit budget pour démarrer des vidéos sur Youtube ou autres plateformes.

Corporate Interview Setup Tutorial | 5 Steps

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I recently did several investigations which involved a bit of creativity when choosing the interview location. The situations made me think of how an interview space can affect a participant's experience and perhaps the quality of evidence that is elicited during that meeting. Below, I offer some thoughts to consider when choosing an interview space.
First Principles: What is the purpose of the interview?
The interview is an opportunity for the investigator to neutrally gather evidence. It is also an opportunity for the interviewee to talk about their understanding and observations of the situation at hand. The interview is often one of the key, if not the main, sources of information that an investigator will have.

Given the importance of interviews, there are distinct advantages to conducting the initial interview in person to allow for a more natural, spontaneous conversation than what may be possible through the telephone or by email.[1] How then can the selection of the interview space work in concert with the purposes of the interview to create an experience that is effective for both the participants and the overall investigative process?
Privacy and Confidentiality
Privacy and confidentiality must be key considerations. What happens in the interview should stay within the circle of those authorized to know about the interview. Usually, that circle consists of the independent investigator, the interviewee, their representative, and any support persons. They should be the only people in the interview space. For that reason, public spaces such as coffee shops or building lobbies should be avoided.

Even where the room is private, consider if the contents or the fact of the interview can leak out to passerby. How soundproof is the room? Does the space have windows or glass walls that cannot be covered? Can people see who is entering or going towards the room? If the space is being used for back to back interviews, is there potential for the individual interviewees to bump into each other in a hallway or a reception area?

A note of caution here about using spaces in the common workplace or institution in which the parties or the witnesses know each other. By the time there is an investigation, it is not unusual for a wider circle of colleagues or friends to be talking about the situation. Holding interviews at the workplace or campus building may invite inadvertent disclosure or observations on why successive people are leaving and returning to their work areas at regular intervals. If the interview must take place at the workplace or institutional campus, consider holding it far from where the parties are usually located, or during non-business hours.
Neutrality
Ideally, the space is a neutral one without meaning or significance to the interviewee. A neutral location bolsters the actual and perceived independence of an investigation. Neutrality is another reason to not hold interviews at the parties' workplace or institution. Absent strong reasons such as health factors, interviews should also not take place in personal residences.
Accessibility
How easy is it for an interviewee to get to and be reasonably comfortable in the interview space? Depending on the facts of the situation, here are some accessibility factors to consider:

Does the location offer barrier-free access for people with mobility restrictions?

Is there convenient parking or transit options nearby?

Might there be single stall and/or gender-neutral washrooms?

Are there provisions such as a scent-free environment or dimmable lights for people with environmental sensitivities?

Ideas for Potential Interview Spaces
In light of the above considerations, here are some of the spaces that I and other colleagues have used:

Our firm's offices

Private library meeting rooms

Hotel conference spaces

The offices of the interviewee's legal or union representative

Meeting rooms in municipal buildings and community centres

Meeting rooms on a university campus, if the investigation does not involve a university

In smaller cities, room rentals in the Chambers of Commerce

Daily office rentals in co-working spaces

There are also websites that match those who have with those who need meeting spaces. Here are some sites that I am aware of:

How to Shoot Better Videos Outside – 7 Tips

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you've ever tried to shoot a video outside, you may have run into some problems. Maybe it was too sunny. Maybe the light changed from one scene to another. Or maybe it was just hard to get a shot where the background and subject were exposed properly.

This is because different times of the day can yield different looks on screen. Plus, our sun (unlike indoor lights) is really, really bright. But don't sweat it, by planning ahead for these variables and bringing a few pieces of gear with you to the shoot, you should be able to get a good looking, well-balanced shot any time of day!

So, without further ado, here are some tips that can help you when shooting your next video outside.

First thing's first - always consider the time of day. Different times of day yield different lighting on your subject.

Early morning or late afternoon are great times to plan a shoot. There are less harsh shadows and you'll have an easier time getting a good looking shot.

Shooting in the middle of the day is a little bit more challenging, and will give you the most harsh shadows and highlights on your subject.

Any of these times of day are doable, but being prepared with a few pieces of gear can go a long way!

First essential piece of gear? You're going to want to pick up an ND filter (this one is specifically for 24-70mm canon lens). If you plan on doing multiple shoots outside, an ND filter will help you get a well balanced shot.

Some cameras have ND filters built in, but if you're using a DSLR, most don't come with that option. We recommend getting your hands on a variable ND filter that lets you dial in the amount you want to darken your image.

This helps to keep the background and the foreground properly exposed, and will give you that well balanced shot you're looking for!

Next up: reflectors and silks. Depending on where you're shooting, the sun may be in front or behind your subject.

When the sun is in front of the subject, you'll notice more harsh shadows, and when the sun is behind the subject, they may appear to be underexposed.

In both of these scenarios, reflectors and silks can help to bounce or diffuse light. If you're starting to shoot outside more, consider picking up a 5 in 1 reflector like this. It has 5 different sides that can help you when adding more light to a subject, or diffusing the light on the subject.

With the 5 in 1 reflector you get 5 different options ...

White side: Reflects the sun and acts as a bounce card

Black side: Use this to block the light, flag light, or as negative fill

Gold side: Reflect warm light

Silver side: Reflect a lot of light

No cover: Softens light

Now that you've got all the gear you need, it's time to set up your shot.

The key to getting a great shot all comes down to using an ND filter and the reflector to shape the light in your scene. If the sun is in front of your subject, you'll want to take the cover off the reflector and diffuse the light. If the sun is behind the subject, you'll want to bounce the light and use the white side of the reflector.

This will make everything look more flattering, and now you'll be able to achieve a well-balanced, properly exposed shot.

If you're shooting solo, I recommend picking up one of these -  a reflector stand. This piece of gear is not only awesome for outside shoots, but it can also be helpful to have around the studio for making subtle adjustments to lighting.

If you're working with a small budget, you can also use your surroundings to your advantage. Find a nice little area of shade and use that as diffusion. Or, plan your shoot in the early morning or just before sunset when the lighting isn't as harsh.

These are just some of the basics we've found helpful when it comes to filming outside. You can obviously go more in-depth with multiple reflectors and bringing in your own lighting setups, but this should at least get you off the ground running.
