This light is compact and provides a decent amount of light. The color temperature is 2500-9000K, and the RGB color is 0-359. My video includes several examples to illustrate the light in action.
The light has three cold shoes and one 1/4" screw, so it has multiple options for mounting and combining lights. It attaches to small tripods and selfie sticks using a 1/4" screw. I am using the light with Shinewee cell phone holder.
It has a USB-C port for charging the light. The charger and cable are not included. Using fast charger and C-type to C-type cable from depleted to fully charged on my fast charger takes 2 hours. The light can be used while it is charging.
The new light lasts 4 hours on 50% brightness. If you see 50% that does not change when you charge it, check if the display shows the brightness rather than battery level. My light came set at 50% brightness level, and I saw that level shown as I was charging.
The brightness can be changed in 1% increments. The color also changes by one. These changes have to be done manually, and it does take a bit of time if you are trying to go from one end of the scale to the other. There is a shortcut to get to white. If you hold down the third button from the left (the button before the power toggle), it switches between RGB and Cool/Warm White. Then use the arrow buttons on the left to tune the colors.
The light is not waterproof, but I can still use it by putting a plastic zip lock bag over the light.
I initially was considering ULANZI VL49 RGB's previous version, which was $10 cheaper. Then on Black Friday, the price for both units was the same, and I got this "upgraded" version. Here are the major differences between the two:
1. The upgraded version has brighter lights and higher color rendering
2. The charging port changed from Micro USB to C-type, so it charges faster
You can find it on Amazon by following this link.
