I stumbled upon the IVISII brand a while ago and decided to give their products a try and I’m so happy that I did. This upgraded IR-45 Ring Light Set by IVISII is exceptional. I purchased and have used their original IR-45 regularly for several months and was excited when I saw that they were releasing an updated model. While many times the only option is to purchase high quality items a la cart or buy a lesser quality as a set I was so pleased with this set. Every piece in this set is constructed from high quality components and performs beautifully. It comes with a light filter, a white softening filter, which snaps snuggly around the ring light and can be attached and detached with ease. The set is complete with a standard 1/4” camera mounting bracket, a 1/4” mini ball head mounting bracket and a universal cell phone bracket. I’ve had no problems attaching and detaching all of my equipment repeatedly. The light performs incredibly well. Due to the 19” size, it casts an immense amount of light. The new multi control knob is AWESOME- making adjusting the light output effortless - I can easily adjust the brightness of the bulbs from 1-100% just by spinning the dial and with a simple press of the knob’s center button, I have complete control over the temperature (or color of the light) from 3,000 Kelvin (soft white) - 5,800 Kelvin (Daylight). Below the digital readout screen and the adjustment knob there are buttons with allow for the light to be synced with other lights so when this light is adjusted all of the others on that channel will automatically change as well. In addition there is a button that will step up the brightness in increments for quick adjustments when testing different shots. This light can be synced with an optional remote control that IVISII offers. I purchased it a while ago with another set and would highly recommend it. Due to the bulbs being LED the light weighs very little, produces no radiant heat and will last a very long time. Unlike many photography sets that include a cheap, poorly made tripod, this set is complete with an excellent, sturdy tripod that will hold up for years. The light and all of its accessories, except the tripod, fit within a great padded, easy to carry, case. The case has padding built into both outer sides and a middle divider. It is complete with heavy duty zippers, handles and an adjustable shoulder strap. If you are looking for a light that will take your photography to another level, look no further. This is a set you are guaranteed to love. Once again, IVISII hit it out of the park with this new and improved ring light.
