Buy it!!! Tremendous bang for the buck features and performance.
This light for video or photography is amazing. I have bought so many important and expensive A/V types of equipment including in home theater realm .... sight unseen ..... over the last decade and a half simply from reading the on line Amazon reviews from owners. When you see a pattern of references from upward of 70 -80% that rave about something it's always a good sign. With this light I did not even read that long. One of the remarks from a buyer here early on that caught my eye was, it was "shockingly good for the price". Have to agree. If I saw this light in one of my local pro video or photo shops and got to hold it and turn it on and get a feel for its technology without knowing the price, I would have been guessing like $150.Things that are amazing. First off with a modern full frame awesome sensor camera such as the Sony A7r III I don't need often a lot of light for fill. But at 100% in a dark room it throws a lot. What is beautiful as others have mentioned is the diffusion and softness of the light. And my jaw dropped when I saw the wide angle throw of the light. Seriously it is at 170 -180 degrees. Never in 30 years of seeing on camera lights have I ever seen that wide of a throw. For still photography can you say ultra wide lenses in situations where they are needed and light is needed, long as you're not expecting miracles in big spaces with its output. Then the reportedly high CRI index of the completely adjustable by one click or quick spin through the clicks of 3300-5600K. Push same button on back and that range switches to cover the intensity level. And as someone else mentioned and I confirmed, when dialed to a dimmed level and mounted on my camera it does not seem to create any LED flicker or colored horizontal stripes in the images. I had this happen to a few shots before I discovered it with another dimmed LED light with the camera set to "Silent Shutter". Was told on DPReview that was a bugaboo for most cameras if they had that capability, you needed to shoot with manual shutter and then "usually" were OK. Did this a week ago and was OK with another light before this arrived.And lastly the beautiful blue information window on the back where the control button is. Always on and pleasing to look at but shows you everything you are set for ..... color temp, light intensity 0 - 100% and so, so valuable .... the remaining level of your batteries charge. And sweet seemingly spring loaded snap in and snap out battery catch. Very positive and effort free. I'd give this light 10 stars if I could. Plan to buy at least 1 more.

Battery Problems Upon Second Use
The first time I used the light, it was great. A few reviews stated it wasn't that bright, which I disagree with. I think it was quite bright for the size. I'm very much a hobby photographer and amateur, so I really just needed a portable light for taking pictures in low light areas. The first outing I took it on, it worked fantastically. I didn't have it screwed onto my camera or anything, just held it and moved it around as needed. However, the second time I took it out, it worked fine for about five minutes, then started randomly shutting off. The battery power was about 75 percent, and plugging it back in after taking it out would temporarily solve the issue, but after another few seconds it would shut off again. Granted, a few months passed between the first use and the second, and I did buy a used light, but it was still disappointing. Since too much time has passed to return it, I'll probably just look for another light elsewhere since other reviews do mention battery issues.EDIT: Viltrox reached out and sent me a new battery, free of charge. It seems to be working okay, and I can move the light around without consequence. Haven't used it extensively yet, but I will update again after I've had a better opportunity to test it out.

A Versatile, Lightweight, and Affordable LED Light
The Viltrox 15c RGB LED light is an affordable fill light that is perfect for a wide variety of photography and videography applications. It is small and lightweight (only 0.6 lbs. according to the description), making it easy to take with you on the go. The color reproduction is accurate, and I was surprised by how bright the light can get (6800K) for its size. The control panel on the back is easy to use, with many modes to adjust brightness, color temperature, and special effects.The LED light also has an app to make adjusting these settings even easier. I found the app easy and intuitive to use (pics attached), and preferred it to the knobs. Connecting the app to the light is seamless, as you don't even need to use Bluetooth to connect. The light is powered by a NP battery, which comes already charged, so you can immediately start using the light. It is rechargeable via USB-C, and the light can also be powered directly using USB-C for extended use.Overall, the Viltrox RGB LED light is a premium quality light for an affordable price. The portability and versatility it offers due to its small, lightweight build is unmatched and makes it excellent for a wide variety of use cases.
