GVM SD80D 80W LED Video Light Kit with Softbox, Bowens Mount, CRI97+, 2700K-7500K Color Temperature, APP Control, and Tripod Stand for Video and Wedding Shooting

This light is just what we needed for our two person podcast setup. I know a lot of videos recommend you need multiple of this style light but this was perfect for us. The adjustable setting really lets you find the perfect sweet spot and it is super easy to move around, raise or lower, and pack up if I need to. Great price for what good quality

UPDATE (7/12/24)I was able to connect with customer service. Unfortunately, their response was delayed due to illness. Once we connected, they were very quick to help me replace the defective light. I'm very happy with their attentiveness and commitment to resolving the issue.***********************************************I initially loved the GVM SD80D that I purchased. The quality of light it provided and its features were excellent, and it perfectly met my needs. However, after just about 6 months, the light stopped working entirely. Now, I have a light that does not work, and it has been incredibly frustrating.I've tried contacting GVM multiple times through both phone and email to resolve the issue or replace the unit, but I have not received any response. The lack of customer service and support is very disappointing.If this issue does not get resolved soon, I will never buy another GVM product again. For the price I paid and all of the online reviews, I expected better quality and support. This experience has been very disappointing.

Great and very good quality for this product! Compares to other more expensive brands and it performs an excellent job! I will buy it again and recommend for others to buy!

The light itself is great, and all connected to the app. My only issue is the softbox came half put together with missing rods to fully expand it. So now I have a lopsided softbox, its not the biggest deal but very inconvenient and annoying for the price you pay to get this product. Need better quality control and make sure all parts, big or small, are in the package properly stored.

Easy to assemble and great color. Good video quality and very functional

I was new to lighting and found that this kit offers everything I need. The light quality is good, and connecting to the app was straightforward—the interface looks user-friendly. Other than a slightly challenging softbox setup, everything worked as expected, which is impressive at this price.On the downside, the kit feels rather low-quality, making me worry that parts could come off at any moment. There's noticeable light leaking from between the folds of the softbox. Additionally, when attaching the battery, the handle I use to adjust the light's direction might become unusable—it won’t rotate with the battery attached. Overall, it does the job for now, but I'm not entirely sure about its long-term durability.

I have other "budget" photography lights but I find myself using this one quite a lot. Yes it is not the brightest but in a lot of scenarios it is bright enough - especially for the beginner.The beauty of this light is its size and its ability to run on batteries (if they were included there would be bonus points).The other thing is the accessories. I have purchased lights that only come with a reflector and no stand, making it quite useless out of the box.This light has a stand and soft box so you can start shooting right away.All that being said: the directions are wonky and the controls take some getting used to, they are not intuitive.And they leave you in the dark in terms of putting together the soft box which was very difficult and involved a lot of trial and error.All that being said this is a great starter light, at least for me.

It was a little difficult to figure out how to put together, but after I did I was very happy with the outcome.
