GVM HD-18S Reviews

Great Ring Light and Great Customer Service!

By Tirosh
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-09-16

This ring light is fantastic! I use it to film all of my self-tape auditions, and it's incredibly easy to use, flexible, and offers a range of lighting options and potential angles. There was an issue with the first ring light I received, but B&H quickly and efficiently sent me a new one and were kind and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend!

GVM Customer Service is great!

I bought this light two years ago, and I'm happy with it. The power adopter died a few days ago. Although the warranty was for one year, GVM Customer Service sent me a new one free of charge.
