Pros & Cons
Pros
It has many colors modes from just setting a solid color at whatever rgb value you want. Peak brightness at 100% is very bright for its size. The “light effects” are a neat feature, allowing for creative effects for video shooting.
The build quality is excellent. Exceeded expectations on effectiveness. The pixel g1s were a good choice, they are stronger and more affordable.
Battery lasts for a long time, very bright also. Great to see further adoptable of usb-c. Only thing i don't like is where the charger port is, you have to move the metal arm at the bottom to access it and when you put it down to charge that arm can p... Read More

Highlights
Quality
My partner who has much more expertise in this area was impressed by the quality and variety of functions e
The battery is excellent and the build quality is awesome
I would of opted for the aputure mc if they weren’t so weak even though their app is really worth getting the mc
The built quality is pretty good which feels reliable
Price
Price wise i think its totally worth it
A little lower in brightness than i would like but the price more than makes up for it
This thing feels like it cost twice the price
Shipping
Love the usb c port and the fast charging cable that comes with it
Competitiveness
Well built and feels solid compared to the more expensive and smaller aputure mc which i also have and feels somewhat cheap
I would definitely buy another one soon for my new sony a7iii dslr which i use mostly for weddings
I will be purchasing a 2nd unit in the future
