Yongnuo YN1200 Daylight Reviews

Excellent LED Panel- Perfect Ring Light Alternative!

By Amina
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-06-11

I needed a key light that wasn't a ring light and this is PERFECT! Semi-budget friendly, great quality product. I've had in for YEARS and over performs for my needs. The *only thing to note* is that the fan *does* hum noticeably so if you use this with video, know you'll have to edit that out in post but honestly, I don't even care. This panel is SO worth it. Also, I haven't traveled with it but it is about as small as a tablet/laptop so super portable! Love it! :)

Great light for live event

Fantastic bright light. Great for weddings and event videographers. Fan noise is noticeable if your audio device is close to light however if put on a extended light stand noise is not noticeable. For less than 200 dollars great option. Save money and buy the 5500k and use tungsten gel. It's plastic housing but if your careful with your lights will last. Need to buy ac power cable and 026 swivel umbrella adapter from manfrotto but still a reasonable price option for a bright led panel.

question

I also need to understand how many batteries does it take to run these lights, can it run on just 1 or does it need all 4. I don't see how many batteries the light comes with. What about using Anton Bauer ow Watson batteries?
Asked by: Anonymous
As per the manufacturer, using only two batteries will only power half of the LEDS, while four batteries will power all the LEDS. It cannot be used with Gold Mount batteries from Watson or Anton Bauer.

Does this yongnuo come with stand?

Does this yongnuo come with stand?
Asked by: Tudor
While a stand is not included with this panel, the Impact Heavy-Duty Air-Cushioned Light Stand (Black, 9.5') B&H # IMLS96HABI would be compatible.
