GVM HD-18S Reviews

Great Ring Light and Great Customer Service!

By Tirosh

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.

Great lighting with a fatal design flaw!

Overall, the lighting works great, but the tripod however does not fit the ring light attachment head at all. When put together there's no way to secure it and it wobbles to the side or to the front. There's absolutely no way you'd be able to attach a phone or camera without the image being completely uneven. It seems as if a piece is missing.

Excellent

I did a lot of research before finding a recommendation for a client and purchasing one for myself. It's well made and the adjustments are far superior to others I've seen. It's also larger than most. My only complaint is it tends to wobble slightly to one side where it attaches to the tripod. That might be user error though.

The Ring Light and Tripod does not fit properly-Do Not Buy

The ring light will not properly seat on the tripod because the notch inside the right light is not deep enough to sit on the tripod screw. Fundamental design flaw.

Very happy.!

This is our first experience with supplemental lighting. We use the lights for many different things. They have proven to be very useful for Zoom calls, on-line videos, meetings, public service announcements and training. Easy to use, very portable and flexible for different lighting conditions.

Very nice, flexible full kit

Some are complaining about the light leaning on the stand. Remove the rubber tip from the stand, it will be close to upright. But not quite. This will bother you if you are mounting a camera directly to the shoe mount. If you have a ball mount or something, problem solved. So not perfect, but very large, bright and good temp and power control.

And I love it. Just what I needed for producing green screen videos.
