NEEWER BASICS GC21B 21W Bi Color Handheld LED Fill Light

This is a pretty cool light that has more power and functionality than I originally thought it would. The brightness in a dark room is really impressive and with its length provides a decent amount of even coverage. Another thing is that it has a good amount of options for adjusting, you can adjust the brightness and warmth with some decent precision. I also really like the fact that it's rechargeable via usb c, making it very easy to keep powered. Filling it up with air also extremely fast and easy and only took a few seconds. The way you can blow it up and deflate it makes it super easy to transport which is a huge win for anyone doing photography or videos on the go.The only thing I found a bit annoying was how a piece of it that's attached is awkwardly wrapped in plastic that's difficult to get off without feeling like you're about to break the piece it's wrapped too.Overall, I think it's a great product and I definitely recommend.

I like that this inflatable tube light is easy to pack away; All I need to do is hold down the circular portion of the inflation valve which helps open it to let the air out. I appreciate the included metal magnetic mount which makes this easy to install onto a light stand.Construction wise, I did not see any physical damage nor imperfections with the finishes; The material does have a matte rubber feel and I did not slip out of my hands too easily. There wasn't any profound plastic odours nor weird factory scent that I could smell from the material.I do love that the power-on requires 3-second hold which mitigates accidental presses of the power-on button; The layout of the buttons are easy to navigate and I did not have any issues with making adjustments. With the USB-C charging port being sealed, I feel more comfortable taking this light tube outside when the weather is a bit wet or unpredictable.Overall, I think this is a nice lightweight option that I can travel with versus a mini COB LED video light setup; The diffusion is fine and I don't notice too much of the hotspots from the LEDs inside.

This is a great new addition to my camera gear. First of all it's light and compact so is effortless to travel with.The light intensity and battery life is impressive. My tests show the following:- At 100% light intensity (stronger than you'd need in most situations) the light can stay on at 5000k for approx. 58min.- At 50% less intensity (more realistical of an intensity for what I'd use it for as a hair light/back light) the light can stay on at 4000k for approx 2 hours!You can shift the light ofcourse along the spectrum from 2700k to 6500 (Warm color to cool colors).It has magnets on the inside running all the way up it, so you can effortlessly stick it to any metal surface, or be hung up, or put on a tripod stand.It's extremely versatile. Very pleased with this.

I love this product! I'm always on the lookout for portable and easy-to-use lighting solutions for product photography, and this one truly fits the bill. It couldn't be more flexible. It's very easy to store, charge, and use, and the magnetic mount is both convenient and well-designed.Having adjustable light levels and colour temperature options is excellent. I'm genuinely impressed that someone designed it this way. You can easily inflate or deflate it and toss it in your photography bag. The screen displays all the necessary information about the light and charge levels. It's super lightweight and flexible, making it a clever and well-executed design.Although it is not inexpensive, its compact size and thoughtful design make it well worth the investment. I highly recommend this product, especially for its portability and functionality.

Versatile portable light. The amount of light this provides is great for lots of scenarios. This is an “inflatable pool toy” for the most part. Use the provide hand bulb pump to inflate and turn it on. The light is even the whole way through diffused by a frosted section. There is a small LCD screen that shows the temperature of the light as well as brightness and remaining battery. Charging cable was provided as is a magnetic 1/4 screw mount. This is light weight fairly durable vinyl and waterproof. This does not provide flash feature but as a fill it’s pretty good. The included storage bag fits the light perfectly for travel. Definitely a good tool for the on the go still photographer.

I needed a portable solution for lights , something I can put easelly in a backpack with my camera rig. This was the first time I saw such an inflatable led lights bar. I frequently go outside at night also to shoot some scenes.Pros :- It is very lightweight. I don't feel a big difference when it's in my backpack.- The inflatable material felt very solid to me. I'm not scared it could break easelly.- It's well seamed and after testing it for some days, it didn't loose air at all.- The air hatch is well made and you have to push a button to free air.- The effects you can set are awesome and ideal to add atmosphere to my video shootings.- I like the fact that you can set the exact pourcentage of light that you want , not just fixed pre-made modes.- It came with a pouch I can use to travel without damaging it and I find it very useful for storing it.- I found it excellent for photo-portrait.Cons :- It would be nice if the battery inside could be a bit bigger in terms of performance. It will not last 2 hours of continuous usage at 100% for me.Conclusion :I love this device a lot. I didn't expect as much I'd find it useful. I believe that this added a lot of possibilities for my shootings. One hour of utilisation was what I needed basically for most situations but more is never bad. That said, it's made to be portable and the recharging time is not a pain to me. It took around 2 hours for a complete recharging process.I appreciate very much this led lights tube !I have no doubts I'd recommend this item.

I got this light because I needed something portable for self-tape auditions when I’m away from home. Paired with a pocket LED light, it gives me a simple two point lighting setup that makes a huge difference. No more looking ghastly in my self-tapes.When I’m not using it for travel, I’ve started using it as a kicker light, which I just learned about. That small change really improved the overall quality of my auditions. The light itself is easy to use, has adjustable colour temperature, and the brightness is solid.If you need something lightweight and versatile for self-tapes or video work, this is a great option.

A great light I didn't know I needed. I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw it pop up. This light is super compact and a great addition to any film kit. It comes with a hand pump which quickly inflates the light.
It also comes with a magnetic adapter to screw onto a stand or tripod.

The light has different modes like strobe, flashing, firework, etc. They are pretty cool and I can see them coming in handy in different scenarios like music videos or short films.

One feature I really like is the quick deflate button where the pump goes. You can quickly deflate in seconds and quickly fold it up back into the provided pouch for on the go shoots.

My only con is the the battery life isn't the best and I don't think you can run direct power to it which is unfortunate since it won't last over an hour on max brightness.

Overall it's a pretty versatile light with a unique build. It will come in handy for multiple uses in a lot of different scenarios.

This is a really cool little light strip and helps with photography and video work, and I wish this product existed about 20 years ago when I was a photography student, as it would have made life so much easier taking a couple of these in a bag instead of those big/bulky/awkward photo lights we had back in the day.

This you simply inflate, and you have a nice light that you can pretty much put anywhere and use to help light up your photo subjects. When used in combination with some proper soft lights and fill flash this really helps with portrait photography or taking photos of still objects, i.e. food, flowers, etc.

So amazing lightVery strong and powerful lightNice to deal withVery good quality
