- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2024I bought the VL-81 LED Video Light, and it’s been amazing for both my photos and videos. The color accuracy is spot on (CRI95+), and I love that you can adjust the color temperature from warm to cool (3200K-5600K) depending on what look you want. It’s super easy to use and gives you a nice, even light, especially with the included softbox, which helps avoid harsh shadows.
The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, so I don’t have to worry about it dying mid-shoot. I also like that it’s dimmable, so I can adjust the brightness to fit the mood. It’s small, lightweight, and the cold shoe mount works great with my DSLR and GoPro.
For the price, this little light is an absolute steal. If you need something portable and reliable for vlogging or photography, definitely give this one a try!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2025I have a ZV-1F an it fits and stays on good! I used it for the first time at an event and it holds battery very well and creates such good lighting. The size of it also was relatively small while also still giving off a ton of light, so very easy to carry around. It’s really worth it if your camera doesn’t have flash or needs a better one!!!
It also looks good with regular iPhone camera quality if you want a flash but not the harsh iPhone flash. (I just held it above the phone.)

I got the VL-81 LED Video Light with Softbox for my Canon EOS M50 to enhance my vlogging setup, and it’s AMAZING! This light has a versatile range from cold to warm lighting and holds a charge for an impressively long time.
Pros:
Versatile Lighting: Offers a range of lighting from cold to warm, perfect for various shooting conditions.
Long Battery Life: Stays charged for a very long time; may need recharging once a week with daily use.
Durable: Sturdy and reliable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Effective in Sunlight: Performs well even in bright sunlight.
Cons:
Absolutely NONE!
Personal Experience:
As a YouTuber who vlogs often, the VL-81 LED Video Light has been a game-changer. Its ability to adjust lighting temperatures and its long-lasting battery have made it an essential part of my Canon EOS M50 setup. The durability and effectiveness, whether indoors or in sunlight, are outstanding.
Conclusion:
Overall, I highly recommend the VL-81 LED Video Light for any YouTuber or content creator looking to elevate their video quality. Its excellent performance and reliability make it a top choice.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2025The bi-color feature (3200K-5600K) allows for adjustable warmth and brightness, which is perfect for various shooting environments. The rechargeable 3000mAh battery lasts long enough for extended shoots, and the CRI95+ rating ensures color accuracy. I’ve used it for both indoor and outdoor vlogs, and the softbox provides a diffused, flattering light.
An affordable, compact, and effective light for content creators and photographers. If you need reliable lighting on the go, this is a solid choice!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025Have only used once so far, but very bright and worked great. Loved that it’s adjustable; can change to warm or cool lighting as well as the brightness.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2025This is a great addition for my sony zv-1f camera but also just a great product in general. Whether I'm taking selfies, recording videos or just need a quick flashlight that's bright - this is my go to. Easy to use, easy to stand or add onto hot shoes of cameras or tripods. Love this so much.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025This night is the perfect size for portability, the battery lasted roughly 2.5 hours of continuous light. I like the cold shoe option and the ability to mount it in my tripod.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light up the life of your Macro images
I use this in conjunction with a short handle and 12" round reflector both available on Amazon, to light my outdoor macro images. It is small... fits into a small belt pouch I wear, I use it as main light or as a backlight with 12" reflector main to achieve perfect lighting. I prefer it to flash as it is easier to see lighting effect. I use a tripod so slower shutter speeds are not a problem. You can adjust color temperature which is a nice feature at this price point. It has an internal rechargeable battery which is convenient. So buy this light add a handle and you are ready to explore the Macro world in your garden, park or flower nursey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little light with a big impact.
I recently purchased the Video Light w Softbox and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The light is very portable and easy to use, making it a great option for on-the-go videography. The softbox diffuses the light evenly, creating a professional and polished look for my videos. The brightness of the light is also easily adjustable, allowing me to customize the lighting to fit my needs. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Video Light w Softbox and would highly recommend it to others in need of portable and professional lighting for their videos.
