Yongnuo Pro LED Studio Video Light YN216

No question these (I bought two) are amazing. I saw many reviews on youtube. None answered my questions as a Photographer using them for photography (not videography). I wanted them for darker venues so that I can add a little light for focusing and overall quality. I have a wedding in 3 days so I will try to follow up on this review. What I can say from testing this light out over the last two days is: 1) They are super bright. I cannot explain what that means in a way that you could get a proper understanding but they are super bright. 2) Great quality build. Yes they are plastic but they feel solid for their size. 3) These are small lights. I don't say that as a bad thing I just thought they were going to be bigger. They are really small and I love that. I chose them over the big square ones because they just don't look right to me. Looking for more of a stage production type feel not a random square light. So the small size makes them even more appealing to me as they will just sort of blend in as a spotlight of sorts in the room. 4) Three different ways to power this little light. External lithium battery, (6) AA batteries, DC Power supply. So overall a great light. If I had to ask for one thing, I would love to have a remote so that I can make adjustments while the light is up. I can see now that I will need to know where I want the settings to be before I put it up because it will suck to keep lowering the light to change power levels. Now the most important question I had was how long would AA batteries last. I use AA batteries for all my camera gear (I try to only buy gear that uses AA batteries so that everything works together). I have tested both my lights over the last three days. I put in fresh batteries and turned the 3200K and 5500K lights up to full power. I then simply timed it until I could see a noticeable difference in the output. The verdict... 1 Hour. I tested this three different times. Twice with both lights at the same time and once using just one light. So essentially I tested this five times. Each time the light would be very bright for a solid hour, then they would take a significant dip in output. For my purposes (extra light during a ceremony) this is still great. If I am using it for specialty lighting at a reception I may need to try out the lithium battery to see how much more time I would get out of the light. Or I will just need to plug it up. One thing to note, is that you can check the battery level on the back of these lights. The problem is that when using the AA batteries they would go from full power, ten dots, to only one dot in only a few minutes. The light output would still be very bright but the power left in the batteries was very deceiving since it would still shine at full power for another 45 min. Not sure if that was because I was using the AA batteries but definitely something to keep in mind.

I bought this to use as a small hair light or small kicker light and it definitely exceeded my expectations!! It works perfectly with my Sony batteries I have for my other studio light and gives off a surprisingly large and very bright amount of light. I may end up using this is a main light when I start recording my YouTube videos. I love that it attaches to both a hot shoe or 1/4 twenty mount. The only thing that would make this light better is to give it a way to connect to an AC outlet...plus the one diffusion disc could be a bit heavier white to diffuse the light a bit more. It's nice that they included it and the other discs but I honestly don't see myself using them, even though they clip on easily. But otherwise this little light exceeds my expectations

The Neewer YN216 makes a terrific hair light in a VLOGger's video set. Matched with a 9 foot Neewer stand (sold separately) it works perfectly.

Es versátil en su funcionalidad y muy ligero para llevar a campo. Lo recomiendo; obvio no es profesional pero sabiéndolo usar, te ofrece mucho...!!!

Nach einem guten halben Jahr lässt sich die Leuchtstärke nicht mehr verstellen. Drehknopf reagiert nicht. Akku wir auch im Ruhebetrieb leer gemacht?
