I really wanted to love this device...but...

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2011

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I have been wanting a Macro Ring Flash LED Light for macro shooting for a long time. Unfortunately, my priority is always saving up for glass and for strobist related flash, as glass is my priority, I have decided to go the budget route... And the same goes for the Macro ring flash.

At $36-$40, you can't really complain (note: The two shown on Amazon are the same product)...but here is my experience which varies from others...

I. UNBOXING and INSTALLING

Unboxing the Macro Ring Flash, the cool thing is that you get the battery pack/AC cord, ring light and 5 adapters for your lenses (49 mm, 52 mm, 55 mm, 58 mm, 62 mm and 67 mm). Put two double AA Eneloops in, connected the 55 mm adapter ring to Ring Light (backside is magnetic) and then connected it to my Tokina 100mm f/2.8 AT-X M100 AF Pro D Macro lens (note: tried this light with lens on extension tube and without extension tube).

Connected the battery back to my on-camera shoe and plugged in the ring light to the battery pack.

Unlike the image which shows the Neewer name, mine didn't show Neewer anywhere on the ring light. So, be careful when you look online as the device is probably made in China and released in the US via rebranded names. Same product, different name...but get the lowest price that you can find if possible.

As for the durability, the battery pack feels a bit flimsy, so be careful when removing the battery lid and not dropping the device. It's plastic with the exception of the adapters and the magnetic backing of the ring light.

II. OUTDOOR TEST

I take a lot of pictures of wasps, butterflies, skippers and with my Macro lens...and even with the extension tube, I can get into a flower bush, inside the leaves with no problem. With the ring light, you can't. You have to get close to an insect that is really close up and typically insects like skippers will stay in one place but with this big light coming on them, they didn't want to stay at all.

It took some patience but I was able to get some shots but I'm going to be truthful to you. I've done much better with on and off-camera flash on insects versus the Macro Ring Light. Perhaps I needed to be more patient but having taken pictures of insects via macro, the size of getting into certain areas to take pictures to the light really scaring off the insects, really didn't do much for insect shooting.

III. INDOOR TEST

FOOD

Next up, was close up on food. I made a killer breakfast burrito today and took pictures with on and off camera flash but when I tried with the ring flash, I felt the light wasn't powerful enough. It was a bit on the darker side and not vibrant, it looked dull. Granted, you can always fix with Photoshop, Lightroom,etc. but I guess it worked, but required more post-processing to make things look right.

DOGS

I then took pictures of close-ups of my dogs and the good news was that I could take nice closeups of my dogs (which hate being around my Flash). So, that's a plus.

DIORAMA/ACTION FIGURES

I then started to shoot a few Gundam mecha figures. And the light managed to really work nicely with my Macro lens via close up of the toys. It works better if you are very closeup, whereas food, you want the bit of distance to get the textures of the food (and not get food or sauce on your ring light). But this worked well and another plus.

JUDGMENT CALL:

It is important to remind people that this is a ring light...not a ring flash. Ring flash cost several hundred dollars, this one is under $50 and are lights that provide a little lighting but you really have no control on the light levels. And those who really want to get great Macro shots and need that control, this device is not for you.

But you also have to consider what you are shooting. For me, Macro insect shots require me being stealthy and getting it in tight spaces, this device will not allow that and you will end up scaring the insect. And because the light is on constantly, unlike a flash which goes off when you press a button, many insects are not going to like it. Even the more patient insects.

But there are good uses for this ring flash, for those who want to experiment on Macro for indoor use, especially inanimate objects, this works great. Food shots, not so much although you can get around it through post-processing ala PhotoShop, Lightroom, etc.

But if you feel you are the type who can plunk down a few several hundred dollars on a ring flash or don't mind saving for one...then save for one. But if you are like me and divert budget towards the glass than other accessories, then yeah...impulse buy will lead you to this really great priced ring light.

But as much as I really wanted to love this device... I don't know if it will play a big part in my photography. Strobist can probably get by with a single flash as well on a light stand and work better than this device. But if you are on a budget and have no desire of purchasing an external flash, light stands, flash bracket, etc., then this device may suit you.

Random Acts man

I don't think you'll be disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2010

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

It does what it says, basically. Some of my rechargeable batts will work with it and others won't. That may be related to the shape of the battery contacts.

Having constant illumination is great for focusing, plus it allows you to choose higher shutter speeds instead of aperture if that suits your purpose.

The battery life is decent, but as you shoot if you're tracking insects etc. you may leave it on to be ready at a moment's notice. You may not notice your batteries are draining and you're not getting much out of it. But gee, they included an AC adapter and if you're doing indoor macro stuff, that's a fantastic accessory to have. That more than offsets the downside IMO.

Being so lightweight, it doesn't seem to tax my kit lens's AF motor at all. The only real downside I have seen is that reflections of the ring light may be broken or jagged. That is, instead of a clean circle of light reflecting off a water droplet, you may see individual LEDs. I've been using it at very close range, though, and I think as you move farther from the subject that's less noticeable or nonexistent.

The other issue TBD would be longevity. For my purposes it's fine and I don't beat up my equipment. If you're a pro...well, why wouldn't you invest the money on a serious ringflash setup if you're a pro, right?

This gets the job done for me with little fuss or fanfare; it's well worth the ~$50 I paid for it, easily. I'm very very pleased with it so far.

Update 5/28: I retested my AAs that wouldn't work before. They work now. It could be that the battery compartment is just a bit fussy. I'm a little tempted to rubberband the back cover to the unit because it can come off. I do like the fact that the batteries are separate from the ring because there's no point in adding extra weight to the lens if you don't have to. Also I had a slight issue where the light was weak and I'd just put in fresh batteries. Either the cord is starting to short or the cord at the battery unit wasn't making good contact but that was easily fixed. I've made hundreds (maybe a thousand by now) of shots with the unit though and remain very satisfied.

Update 6/5: I might start by saying that I use this 3-4x a week. Although I've had it about five or six weeks, I have probably used it 25x and made at least 1000 pictures with it.

I'm starting to have problems with it. Sometimes the cord from battery to light doesn't want to seat properly; now I think the cord itself may be thin and not conducting the electricity well. I'll try a quick fix of wrapping the "elbows" with electrical tape or something like that, à la Roger Daltrey and his microphone. If it continues to fail, I'd probably buy another and wrap it from the gitgo, treat it more carefully.

One thing I meant to do and haven't: run a pencil on both sides of the adapter, the idea being to "lubricate with graphite." Sometimes as the lens twists etc. it may strain the cord b/c it doesn't rotate as freely on the front as I'd like (not that it alters picture quality or becomes a hassle---just that it may be what's causing the wire to short). Were it to move freely, maybe I wouldn't have the issue I seem to be encountering.

Should I end up getting a 2nd one, I guess it wouldn't be a total loss. I'd have an "extra" battery holder. Also I haven't used the AC cord much...that may be a tool to see where it's failing, by process of elimination.

Works great! ...on Canon t3i

Reviewed in Canada on February 12, 2013

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I tried it out and found that it really works well. More details are evident and it helps if not eliminates shadows when photographing up close. I used the Canon T3i with 18-55 kit lens on the auto setting for some quick samples of my watch. The brighter one with much more details is with the ring led lights attached. Can't wait for my tubes to arrive to try some real macros on nature in the spring!

Tubes arrived, tried them out and this light ring deserves an upgrade to 5 stars. The pictures would not have been possible without the ring. These were taken without a tripod.

This macro led ring gives quite uniform light.
I use Nikon D3200 and one of the rings was perfect fit.

it'd be nice if it included a shoe adapter to mount it

Reviewed in Canada on August 2, 2016

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Works very well, my only complaint would be that the battery box doesn't fit on the non-standard shoe that Sony cameras have without an adapter. It's more Sony's problem than NEEWER, but since this is advertised as working with Sony cameras, it'd be nice if it included a shoe adapter to mount it.

LED Ring Light

Reviewed in Mexico on October 7, 2017

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Para aquellos que deseen realizar retratos (beauty) en general o específicos maquillaje resulta muy practico este ring flash, ya que tiene dos modalidades de consumo de energía, batería o bien, conectado directo a corriente, tiene tres opciones para iluminar, completo (todo el ring) lado izquierdo encendido, lado derecho encendido, esto resulta útil por ejemplo cuando realizamos fotografia de insectos y queremos dar mas contraste a estos pequeños animalitos. El que tenga diferentes roscas para montar el Led ring lo hace más versátil ya que con lentes macro queda muy bien. Una de las mejores opciones que pueden tomar en la compra de equipo de iluminación portátil.

Only wish it had an on-off switch instead of having to unplug it to make the light go out. Not an issue considering the price. Also no strange colour cast to it.
