With this light you get an instruction manual, lanyard, cold shoe and charging cable all packed together into a small and very solid cardboard box. I do think that the manufacturers have gone a bit over the top on presentation for a device that holds its own without that. The instruction manual is only a leaflet with instructions in English, German, and Chinese. It is very brief, but given how intuitive the light is, it is enough. The charging cable is USB-A to USB-C and short (about 16cm). The controls are quite straight forward. There is one knob to switch the light on and to select a mode, and another for varying brightnesstemperature etc where applicable. There is an orange button on the side that allows you to switch between effects in Effect (EFF) mode. CCT mode allows you to change the light colour temperature between 2500K and 9900k. EFF gives you a variety of different effect such as strobes, candlelight, fireworks etc. for videoing. 5600k mode (portrait mode) is a fixed colour temperature and brightness. There is a small LCD screen that gives you information about the mode you that you are in. The inclusion of the cold shoe means that you can attach the light to a tripod or similar mount. This is a solid, compact, and light device that gives you many creative options for videoing but can also be used for lighting for photography which I find particularly useful.
