This budget-priced kit from Fooxon can be used for selfies, in beauty or hair salons where precise lighting is required or for general photographic or video use. It would make a nice gift for anyone with an interest in any of those activities or for a YouTuber or Tik Toker.
In the box are the 20cm Diameter ring light with hard-wired USB power cable and in-line control pad, 120cm three-stage metal tripod, ball joint mount, tripod clamp mount, camera clamp, and a large and well written colour User Guide. Build quality seems fine for the price, the ring light is made of lightweight plastic but seems well made and the tripod is a perfectly decent medium-sized robust lighting stand. The kit looks like it has been put together from different sources, but is none the worse for that.
The unit is powered through USB and has an in-line backlit control pod which scrolls through the three Colour Temperature settings, the ten brightness levels, and Off/On. The pod has proper clicky buttons and is easy and responsive to use. The lighting ring is quite lightweight and is unlikely to survive a severe impact, but that aside seems fine. The tripod is as good as any other medium-size lighting stand I have used and folds up nice and small.
This is a nice little lighting kit, fine for selfie and salon work and well made enough for general photographic use. For the £25.99, not a bad buy indeed.
