LED Macro Arm Light with 10 Level Ajustable Brightness,CRI 95+ 5600K Macro Photography Lighting Support Type-C Charge for DSLR Mirrorless Camera for Insect Plant Jewelry Close-up Shooting

Not the brightest lamps but more than sufficient for macro work and very positionable due to flexible stems. Is only going to light up stuff within a could feet of the camera at best. Battery seems to last well on a single charge. Build quality is a bit cheapish and its not likely to take a lot of abuse, a metal hotshoe would have been a nice option.

I’m very happy with this purchase, especially considering the price. It’s a well-made device, though the two "antennae" attached to it do look a bit odd. I’m using it with a Nikon Z9, and if it’s not clear, this isn’t a flash or speed light. It’s a constantly-on light source that doesn’t integrate with the camera electronically (cold shoe connection). You simply slide it into the shoe mount and use the wheel to tighten it. The tightening wheel can be a bit tricky to access, but that might be because I have larger-than-average hands. Once mounted, it’s easy to use—just long-press the middle button for 3 seconds to turn it on, and the same to turn it off. You can adjust the brightness across ten levels, although I haven’t needed to use this feature much. It definitely throws enough light for macro photography. I'm using it with the Z9 and the 105mm MC f/2.8 VR S lens, and the 14-inch version of this device works great. I suspect the 10-inch version might be too short to light anything effectively from any angle other than straight on, but I haven’t tested that model. If you don't care about any of that, it's an easy and affordable way to make your camera look like an alien.

Excellent for macro photography. Well constructed.

For me, the 14" version works very well. The arms are flexible just right and there is enough light for a 2-3" subject.

Quality item

Positive : Small and versital, great flexibility to focus the light exactly where I need it. Negative : Battery life is almost non-existant. Battery was good first two photoshoots, but wouldn't hold a charge after that. Work-around : Long USB Cord tethered to power source at home, or battery pack / power source in the field.

I had a nearly identical unit from Olympus for my E-M5 which took its power from the camera. When I upgraded to an E-M1 I was very annoyed that the new camera did not have the power connection to use this little light. Fortunately, I found this one which has its own battery and works with any camera. The arms are not long enough to work with an elaborate bellows rig but it works in most standard macro lenses, including the Olympus 60mm Macro. It does not put out a lot of light but you can normally use fairly long exposures when doing macro work. Color balance appears to be fine using the camera's auto-white. Two lights with individual brightness controls allows for nice shadow control. Finding something cheap and effective in photographic equipment is always wonderful!

I was skeptical as to whether this would provide adequate lighting and I am pleasantly surprised. Powered by a watch battery, this little rig works great! Works great for all my macro lens needs and is much cheaper than a lens light ring. The biggest pro is the portability and ease of use. Throw it in your camera bag and it’s a handy little tool!

Works well and nice and bright

Good quality item.. easy to use..

Works great. Would buy again. Use it every day for taking photos of flies I tie for fly tying Instagram channel. Just buy the dang light!

They work great indoors or in a forest where is very dark, as they are not very bright even on full power. But I do like them. They are useful when it's dark enough.

Nice and easy to use
