Amazing little light!
K&F always seems to strike a really great position between price and quality of the products offered. This light is yet another example. Priced VERY reasonably at the time of this writing, I've found it versatile, easy to use, and just powerful enough to pull down your ISO and make nice shots.
The light comes in a nice box and includes a USB-C cord, a wrist strap, and little cold shoe attachment, and of course the light itself. Simple USB-C jack on the back to charge it up and you're ready to go. There are mounting points on the top and bottom of the light itself so you can chain multiple lights together. The wrist strap seemed odd at first but as I started taking the light with me more and more, the wrist strap was great for me to use to retain it or attach it to places that aren't magnetic.
So lets talk controls. They're simple and straightforward. If you want your tools simple, this is as good as it gets. One knob turns the light on and selects the mode for your light: CCT, HSI, or EFF.
Constant Color Temperature allows you to turn the top knob to change temperature or with a press of the orange button, light intensity.
Hue, Saturation, Intensity mode allows you to turn the top knob and change your hue, press the button, and the top knob controls saturation, and press again, you can change the intensity of he light.
Finally there's an effect mode that can simulate some fun effects for video work. I've used it a couple times and its OK but not earth shaking and similar to other lights.
Battery life has been very good and I can't complain.
Overall this is really an amazing little light that is very flexible for use cases. At the price, you really can't complain. My only issue is the light is mostly plastic and feels less than idea but I'm sure that's a result of saving weight.
This light is a big yes from me. I have 3 of them now!
