Item: YOHOOLYO 12" Ring Light with Stand and Phone Holder
The stand is thin metal and weak plastic. The lock screw that is supposed to secure the tripod legs in place tightens into the plastic collar around the upright but does not engage the upright or prevent the collar from moving. The tripod legs are thin formed metal and are not tightly held be the adjustment collar, allowing the upright of the stand to sway.
The included phone holders are weak plastic that bends and deforms when placed under stress - such as when they are holding a phone. The sound that it makes gives the impression that it will snap at any second.
The ring light works well. It has 3 light temperatures (~2700K, ~4000K and ~5000K) with ten brightness levels and puts out an even light at ~50 lumens to ~500 lumens.
Placing the ring light onto the tripod stand causes the stand to bend if the tripod has bore than two (of five) sections extended .
Overall, not recommended.
