The 10-inch Selfie Ring Light with Tripod Stand (PT-1680+10inch) promises a versatile lighting solution for content creators. After weeks of testing this ring light for various applications, from live streaming to detailed makeup tutorials, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This review will cover its features, performance, ease of use, and overall value.

The PT-1680+10inch boasts a range of features designed to enhance your video and photography experience. The adjustable tripod extends from 29″ to 54″, offering flexibility for different shooting scenarios. The phone holder is surprisingly sturdy and compatible with most smartphones, even those in cases. The highlight, however, is the ring light itself. Offering three color temperatures (warm, natural, and cool white) and ten brightness levels, you have a whopping 30 different lighting options to fine-tune your aesthetic.

The inclusion of a Bluetooth remote shutter is a thoughtful addition, allowing for hands-free operation, crucial for solo content creation. Powering the light is simple: a standard USB connection eliminates the need for batteries. This versatility means you can connect it to your laptop, power bank, or wall adapter.

In practice, the PT-1680+10inch performed admirably. The color temperature adjustments were smooth and noticeable, easily catering to different moods and lighting conditions. The brightness levels provide enough range to illuminate even darker environments effectively. The tripod proved surprisingly stable, even at its maximum height, minimizing any unwanted camera shake.

The phone holder’s grip was secure, holding my phone (a [Your Phone Model]) steadily throughout my tests, and the angle adjustment was intuitive. The Bluetooth remote functioned flawlessly, delivering a reliable trigger for capturing photos and starting videos.

However, at maximum extension, a slight wobble was perceptible in the tripod. This is not a significant issue unless you’re working in a windy environment or need extremely precise stability. Also, while the phone holder is compatible with most phones, those with very large or bulky cases might encounter some fitting difficulties.

Pros:

• Versatile adjustable tripod
• Wide range of color temperatures and brightness levels
• Stable phone holder
• Convenient Bluetooth remote
• USB powered for easy connectivity

Cons:

• Slight wobble at maximum tripod height
• Phone holder might not fit all cases perfectly.

Overall, the 10-Inch Selfie Ring Light with Tripod Stand (PT-1680+10inch) offers excellent value for its price. The extensive features and reliable performance make it a solid choice for beginners and experienced content creators alike. While minor stability concerns exist at maximum height, they are outweighed by its many advantages. I would highly recommend this ring light to anyone looking for a versatile and affordable lighting solution for their smartphone photography and videography needs.
