JOBY Beamo LED Reviews

Diffuser Problem

By Igor
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-11-18

This light shipped with a diffuser that is beyond sub-par. I can shake it off without touching it. Also, don't sneeze while running it. Joby's website shows *different* diffuser for Beamo, and they even sell it as a separate accessory. It is clear they are aware the initial version is a joke. Otherwise, it looks like a great light. I got two similar lights, Joby Beamo and Godox WL4B. This one has wireless charging, Godox has magnetic back. Both are streamlined and can connect to the standard cold shoe. I'm on the fence which one is more useful, leaning towards Godox - the ability to stick it on a metal surface slightly outweighs the ability to charge it without messing with the cables. As for the light output, it's all in the specs. These are good video lights and both are waterproof to scuba depths, so they'll work for any snorkeling application and in any weather. Godox supports slight color temperature adjustments via an app, but to me it's a gimmick. There is no free lunch with color correction in post. Finally, my pet peeve. Both of these lights have flash mode. This is one of those just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I would greatly prefer top adjustment stopping at the maximum intensity, instead of starting to flash. I am still to find a good photo or video usage case for a flashing light. And if you rely on a portable video light for your emergencies, you have much bigger problems in your (lack of) preparedness.

How is the optical slave flash mode activated without using the app? The manual offers little description and appears to show holding in the non-dimpled button for 3 seconds, but that has done nothing, and the Beamo Mini will not flash even when a Speedlight is pointed directly at it. The linked "tutorial" video is more of a sales pitch than an actual usage guide, so that hasn't helped, either.

Hello, the optical flash mode is only available through the app.

Can I add an external battery (ie, usb battery bank) for longer run time?
Asked by: Matthew
Yes you can run it off an external cable. However, the cable MUST be USB-A to USB-C. I've tried multiple USB-C to USB-C cables and adapters and this unit doesn't charge. It only charges when connected to a USB-A charging block.
