Great lamp for video or photo!
Lighting is the most critical aspect of film making. Without it, images and video look grainy and unprofessional. At the same time, proper lighting and use of color filters can vastly change the mood or vibe of a scene or image. The title of this review says it all, but let me dig into why this is the perfect setup for someone that can only pick one.Variety for every need:This package has TONS of attachments/accessories included. It includes a basic bowl attachment to direct light, but there are also little mitten/socks like filters that can be wrapped on top of them to change the color. There is another honeycombed barn door attachment to help further refine lighting and direction to a specific target. This attachment also allows for you to attach the metal filters with various colors...it uses magnets for quick on/off attachments. There is also a super diffused soft box attachment.Technology and use:The light itself is high quality and uses the new COB lighting technology, so there is no physical bulky bulb, but rather, light emits from little beads on a circuit board. This light operates a lot more efficiently than traditional bulb setups. There is proper ventilation and a huge easy to read display. There is also a simplistic single rotary button/knob for controls...as well as a wireless remote!Functionality:I've tried the light in different filming settings for several days now and I'm impressed with the 60w output. The stepless controls for brightness and temperature really comes in handy and can change the look of any scene pretty easily. I've used the barndoor to direct light to specific items I'm feature, and at an angle to give it a nice shadow effect. The soft box is just great in general and I've used it on myself during live meetings/streams to give myself light, without the glare (especially helpful as I wear glasses). Once I've setup the light, I extensively use the remote control so I don't have to go back and forth to make changes. I like the remote over the use of an app, as its much quicker and easier to "feel" my way around the buttons without having to draw my eyes away from the action.Other considerations:This light comes with a lot of accessories, but a stand is not one of them. If you don't have existing tripod stands, you'll have to buy one to really be able to use this. I think given the price of what you get, budgeting in a light stand is not bad. Another reason why I love this light is that it uses the bowens mount standard. There are literally tons of other attachments that you can buy from Amazon as your film making grows. For budget conscious film makers, this is a huge plus.For the reasons listed above, I firmly believe this is a great lighting package that both novice and pro film makers could really use on a regular basis - and grow with. Needless to say, I am really happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others without hesitation.

Great for Moms too!!!
I am not all that savvy with electronics but this camera was quite easy to use. My husband got me this camera as a gift because I love being around water and taking pictures of our kids. The camera is very user friendly and produces a tremendous level of quality in both the videos and images. The underwater video is awesome and incredibly clear. It has been a lot of fun to use and explore. We have many different videos with the kids and exploring different areas of our city. I would recommend this camera for all individuals because it is easy to use, produces high quality, and multi-functional (great for family outings, producing YouTube content, while in motion, etc.). 5 stars!

Good value for price point and lots of extras
I was looking for a camera that could fit into my woodshop and could be used to document project work. This camera has a great field of view, is small, light, and the waterproof case fits my needs. The added attachments, battery, and straps were a pleasant surprise and made it even better.Cons: only a small one - the instructions didn't give much detail on the wide assortment of attachments and connectors - Had to figure that out myself.If you are looking for an active use camera at a decent price - this may work for youUpdate: After submitting review, was contacted by support. They were helpful in attachment usage and other features. Excellent follow through on customer service. A good camera for the price - recommend

Defective EDIT—-REPLACED
No matter what setting I put it on, it takes a picture or video every 30 seconds. I even put tape over the camera and still same problem. Waste of money*EDIT* After I submitted review the company contacted me right away and wanted to fix the issue ASAP. They sent me a replacement which is actually an upgrade and it’s 10x better in every way.The camera is by far 10x better. The images at night are much clearer and it actually takes pictures/videos when it senses motion unlike the other. I also really like the fact that it has a screen built into the camera. Makes it much easier to set and adjust the camera and go through the settings. Thank you.

Clear camera, great quality!
This camera is fantastic. I just moved into a house with a garage that faces an alleyway. I have seen so many people post about how their cars or property are broken into that way because no one is typically around. This camera is fantastic, I have a view of my car, until I can clear a spot in the garage, and I can watch the gate to my backyard, the wind blew it open a couple of times and I was alerted by my camera! I've also been able to tell what time the trash pick up is, which is valuable when. You don't get it out the night before.This camera is great with a long battery life!

Great camera for a great price.
The video quality (night and day) is amazing. The android app is sufficient, there are other third party apps that you can pay for that give you more features. Don't waste your time with the Windows software, it is crap. My only real complaint is the setup. I've setup many network devices so it wasn't difficult, but others who are not that familiar could experience some problems. It would be nice if the camera came with a default static IP that you could then change once connected. Or at least provide the MAC address of the camera either on the camera or on/in the box. Overall I am extremely happy with this camera and I do plan on purchasing one or two more.

Great company to work with
This camera does NOT record in 4k. It also is NOT taking pictures at 16mp. Hands down the worst camera I've seen. I bought my son a Cars digital camera ten years ago. It took better pictures and videos than this does. Seriously. If I could give zero or negative stars, I would.EDIT: Previously I rated the camera with one star. Rebecca in their customer service department reached out to me and offered to make things right with their merchandise. It's refreshing to see a company, big or small, that will stand up and admit their mistakes. I'm more than happy to say that I was able to feel like my experience mattered.

Good Camera but finding Software Online was very D
Good camera quality but finding the software was very difficult and I had to get to it in a very roundabout way on the manufacturer's website. Once installed though it worked great although for use on a laptop you may have to go through extra steps of disabling the built-in camera.

So easy to use, love the piece of mind.
This is so easy to set up. It takes a few minutes and is fairly simple to use. Quality is solid for a security camera that can pan in all directions. It also comes with an attachment so you can plug it in anywhere there is an outlet. Night vision works great, light works great (added bonus it can be a remote control light). Also comes with a micro SD card to if something does happen you have a copy. I definitely recommend this if you're looking for a good security camera or dog camera which is what I use it for. I can now see pretty.much anywhere he'd be from one central camera! Great value!
