In this video, I’m finally unboxing my 12-inch ring light that I’ve had for a while but kept postponing. I show you what it comes with (especially the tripod), how the parts fit together, and how the phone holder/adjustment pieces work so you can rotate the light and set it up properly. If you’ve been wondering whether you should buy a 12-inch ring light or go for something smaller like 10-inch or bigger like 22-inch, I basically walk you through what to expect from this size. I also test it by plugging it into my power bank because I wanted to confirm you don’t have to rely on NEPA/light to use it. Where I was filming wasn’t very bright and there was a lot of noise outside, so I used that to show the difference once the ring light comes on. My main takeaway: size isn’t everything—if it brightens up your space and works with your setup, you’re good. So if you’re a student creator filming in your room, doing study vlogs, GRWMs, or calm lifestyle content like me, this is a simple, affordable lighting upgrade you can actually set up yourself.
