Great for what it is designed for.

This is a good light and in some cases, it is a spectacular light. Would have been better, actually much better with TTL. As it turns out, I seldom use TTL, but what I would use this light for, TTL would be very, very handy. Read the dimensions, this is not a small package. Takes a little setup but nothing unexpected. I mostly use other strobes with light modifiers but there have been a couple of times, this was the ideal light source.

Very Cool!

Awesome; I just started playing with this flash and it's really powerful. I bought some 10" gels and easily cut them to fit inside the diffuser. I will be experimenting with different colors etc. with my Nikon D3. Great flash and well made

Best ringflash on the market.

Although it's only a "manual" control flash (no ttl) it is powerful enough and portable enough for just about any photoshoot. Rated at 400WS it's easily powerful enough to be used in softbox or large umbrella if needed. With snap-on battery, no cords to worry about like "other" brands. Highly recommended for easy fill light and bright "fashion" ringflash look.

A great, portable lighting tool.

The RF-400 Ring Li-On 400ws Ringflash has been a great lighting for my photography. It is very portable and powerful. It is worth the investment! I have ordered my second as a backup and additional lighting effect. I highly recommend to all my fellow photographers!

Great little ring light at a great price!

This is a great little ring light for the money. It came well packaged and except for the AA batteries, everything needed to get started right away. Within 10 minutes I was trying my first shots with it. It includes several, threaded adapter rings to attach it to most any, common filter-thread size. For my purposes, I actually like the LED light system better than a traditional xenon strobe, as it makes setting exposures easier because the light can stay on continuously, allowing WYSIWYG and eliminating guesswork. No hassles with flash synch either. If you want an inexpensive way to light macro shots the way pros do, this is a great way to get started and at a great price.

the flash unit itself is a great product, takes some engineering to connect camera to line everything up to flash unit.

Not impressed

Really not too thrilled with it. I bought it as an off camera flash that i would be using with my Nikon camera with commander mode. It doesnt sync and bc I misplaced a piece of the styrofoam from the original packaging i cannot return it. It is great for on camera lighting but do not recommend if you are trying to use with commander.

Bulky but nice

For great high key shots, this is the way to go. It's on the heavy side, so maybe not great handheld for everyone.

I like it but it’s heavy.

Others questioned its power, I have no such reservations. This throws a ton of light and I have no reason to doubt its rating. It is heavy and the brackets are adequate but not as substantial as I would have liked but more substantial brackets would also contribute to the weight. Controls are pretty straightforward, no surprises. For the sale price I consider it a pretty good value.

Impressed for the price

Considering the low price point, it seems pretty well constructed. It's pretty bright at top setting, so has a decent range. The only real disappointment would be that the connecting cable doesn't unplug at either end. That could be an issue if it's damaged it can't be easily replaced.

Great value for getting into macro photography

I bought this to support starting with some macro photography. I'm sure more serious people will want more power than this can put out, but this is a great, inexpensive way to get started. It also may be a good additional fill for short-range portrait work. I'd recommend using rechargeable batteries as it looks like I'll be going through the conventional alkalines I have in there now pretty quickly.

It's ok...just ok

You get what you pay for... It's ok.. I have since also purchased a new sb-600 and am trying to adapt it for macro.. the VL-48 is ok for things you can take multiple shots of to get it perfect... but I would rather use a flash with i-ttl for the things you have one chance to get...fastest shutter speed I can use is 1/125 or I get the banding from the shutter curtains... for$.... It's ok

OK for what you pay

Adapter ring did not tighten on lens making ring light pivot. Maybe it is supposed to do that. Have not used it yet but I think it will perform like what I anticipated.

not quite

Based on the price I admittedly was not expecting much, but I did expect to be able to use it. My biggest complaint was the same as that of several others. I couldn't keep it from falling off of the lens long enough to take any pictures. I am arranging to send it back tomorrow, but am not sure what to attempt to replace it with. I'm rely not interested in spending a ton of money on something like this but I do a lot of macro photography, Stay tuned for chapter 2 of this continuing saga.

I would recommend this.

I recently purchased a 65 mm macro lens, and lighting is essential for getting a great picture with macro photography. From what I have used of this ring light, it works well, attached to the camera easily, and is simple to use but works great. I would recommend this because it lights up a picture great, and has different light styles and settings.

Very Good LED ringlight

By Viper

This is a well-designed device for close shots, it provides permanent lighting for subjects. And you can adjust it three ways: all light, half left light, and half right light. With the power controller, you can choose two different power input modes: 2 AA batteries (I recommend that you use rechargeable batteries) or AC adapter input. Very useful for macro photographing. My set came with a Adapter for 67mm lens to :-)

Great Accessory for macro photography.

A great accessory for closeup and macro photography. Easy to use,fixed LED light source. Maximum distance as advertised about 40 inches which is sufficient for closeup work. Filter adapters 49mm,52mm,55mm,58mm 62mm and 67mm more than adequate. Color correction not necessary since color temperature of LED light source at 5500K-6500K matches daylight. Note: The 2 AA batteries that came with the unit were depleted. Fresh AA batteries worked fine. Will consider buying a second unit as backup. A g...
