GVM Great Video MakerCRI97/TLCI97 ED Lighting Kits with App Control (Pack of 3)

I bought this kit over a year ago and have used it in many settings for my professional video needs. It is easy to transport to a shot location and quickly sets up with no issues. The lights are well made and come with a dimmer and option to switch from a warm 2300k light all the way up to 6800k, and in between. The battery option is what sold it for me. The ability to light from any location regardless of having power is paramount. I recommend this kit to anyone looking to elevate their shot scene.

I've worked in broadcast TV for 40+ years, and have always been shocked by what my bosses paid for lighting equipment. This is a quality built light kit that I wish I had years ago. Adjustable color temp. and dimmable saves lots of time without fiddling with gels and clips. Great value for a 3-point lighting setup.

I must say I am impressed by these lights. The light output is considerable for such compact lights and the fit and finihs of the product reminds me of much more expensive units I have used in the past. If you routinely shoot in different locations or in on-site scenarios you will really appreciate the padded case! The case is good quality and keeps everything in a single package while simultaneously protecting your investment.

These lights came in a nice reusable travel bag, which I greatly appreciate. I can lug these around safely. The tripods are not the easiest to work with because you need to twist screws loose, adjust it, and then tighten. The tripods are tall and sturdy, which is the most important part. Finally, the lights are great. They are bright and the color temperature can be easily adjusted. I use multiple lights for taking a video. I am excited to start recording YouTube videos at night.

These lights are very good and so worth the price. I'm just going to jump to the point and list the negatives and positives then conclude a review.Positives:LightweightEasy to useEasy to set upBright and dimmable.Tungsten and DaylightVery long power cordSturdy (Lights)Gels can easily be placed insideFan is silentCools down very fast.Bulbs don't get very hot when running for hours.Negatives:Light stands are very cheap and flimsy. (Recommend purchasing C-Stands)Material of the lights are plastic. Knobs feel cheap, but will last if taken care of.Softener that comes with the light isn't really usefulApp doesn't control multiple lights and barely works.This may seem like a lot but it isn't. My biggest problem is with the stands these lights come with. I was on set and using these lights in the wind and the wind knocked over one of my lights and the buttons were jammed inside of the panel. The light however still works after two consecutive falls so that is a huge plus considering it fell at a very fast rate. No problems at all except for the buttons being pushed in. These lights are great for starting out, I love them and will most likely buy more just because of how bright they are. Great lights, but like I said, purchase C-Stands and place them on there. Expensive, but will be worth it for the longevity of these lights.
