Another feature - if you hold the select button down you can access the presets. They include flashing RGB, flashing individual colours, cycling colours etc...
Confirmed - bought it month ago and it's just perfect! Only one thing is missing - auto color change. But I know, I not complain, it's the cheapest light ever.
Auto colour change - you mean like a colour cycling effect? You can! If you hold down ''SELECT'' you can access various presets, including a colour cycling one!
Looking like a powerful light. Thanks for the review! Also: "There's something that you should definitely not eat" 😂 and love the RJD magazine in the back 🤙🏻
Maybe you can tell me how this thing makes white light? Mine doesn't. Where is the switch or whatever for that? All I can get are many shades of red and yellow blue and green.
Try holding the select button down until the mode changes to the mode with the white light and Kelvin temperature display. There are 3 modes: RGB colored light 0-360 degrees, white light 2500-9000 deg K, and preset effects with flashing lights. Hope yours functions properly.
Hey Vic Just don't order from Ulanzi direct. I placed an order for the lens for Sony ZV1 after watching your video on the 3rd of October with DHL Express, its been nothing but plain lies from them, first, they sent a tracking number that just doesn't show anything, then they said DHL doesn't deliver from China to Dubai which is absolutely not true as I order weekly from China, then they said the courier is late, then they said customs are very strict these days (never heard customs being strict about lenses), every week they promise it will arrive within days, and so on. They have great products but a totally shambolic service. Great channel and videos by the way, keep up the good work.
Hi Alan, we're sorry for the inconvenience it caused. The shippment and delivery have been greatly impacted by the COVID19. We've contacted your logistic service to deliver your package ASAP. Thanks for your patience. Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
No problem Ola, let me know who they work out :) - Are you going to use them to push color onto something like a white wall or just have them as accent lights in the background?
@@VicBarry I will actually have like a light grey wall around 2 metres behind me with a medium sized cupboard, I want to place some decorations and plants on it plus two of these lights to put some colours on that wall while recording :)
@@soundtempleAU Yes..would love to know if the battery "shelf-life" is any good. I have had other lights similar to this and the internal battery didn't seem to hold a charge very long.
Honestly people should RTFM, there's speciations in there that could save you time with white balance, for instance this light is recommended to be 5750k for natural light, so yeah in camera I was using the daylight preset for wb (5200k) SURPRISE peoples skin tones was off, SO I THE MANUAL I read the recomemded spec and voila 5750K ON LIGHT AND I CAMERA... skin tones was spot on. Thing is RTFM
I just bought the Ulanzi flexible tripod for my smartphone and it also has the attachment for this light as well as a microphone, which is great for on the move vlogging (in a tent at night for example?) Definitely buying this light given its versatility as well as price. Thanks for the review.
Dang Vic, now I have to buy another light! Haha! €20 how bad, mind you I haven't earned €20 since March! Positive vibrations from sunny, cold and ridiculously windy Kinsale! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️
I ordered one of this back in 2020 used it for solid 2 years before the battery exploded, not exactly explode but it did caught on fire, at that time it was mounted on top of my camera while also Bieng connected to a charger it was on at full power then suddenly it started smoking, so I rushed to unmount it from my camera and throw it outside the building I'm in that time, it smoked so much it looked like I've thrown a smoke bomb,,, right now Ive upgraded to the ulanzi VL120 and I hope it won't catch on fire this time.
@@VicBarry hey vic! Its for a rode videomicro that i bought! Just to improve my gopro audio when im running or biking! Havent tested it yet coz i just ordered the 3.5mm adapter from GoPro lol
I bought two these on eBay a month back before I saw your video. One came without the tripod thread tapped in the bottom and the second ones rear display stopped working after a couple of uses. The light and buttons still work but you have to guess what mode and brightness you are on. I have contacted the seller to see if I can get replacements. Just a heads up check the tripod thread :)
@@VicBarry I didn't realise I could buy direct from Ulanzi. The guy I bought from is trying to make things better. Here's a video of what I sent the guy. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ulanzi-VL49-Pocket-Camera-Photography-Video-Fill-Light-RGB-LED-2500K-9000K/383776577100?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Hey Adrian, not sure of constant use but I’ve rarely had to charge mine over the course of a week. Probably used 30 mins a time. Easily a few hours on and off. Plus it can be used with a battery bank
Hey Amir, the photos in this are shot with the Sony ZV-1. Most of my thumbnails are shot with the Sigma and yes, I'd fix the lens distortion. Have you got the Sigma?
Hey there, haven't measured the charge time, but I've been using it all week, an hour here an hour there and it's still around 40% - Battery time will be related to the brightness levels though
The battery is only 2000mAh, which can last a while depending on your usage settings, however I've found that my Ulanzi VL49 doesn't hold it's charge if you let it sit idle. I'll charge it fully and then not use it for a week and then find out it needs to be charged up again.
Upgrading lights is one thing! Upgrading your camera is something that melts minds! Which one do you buy? This video clears EVERYTHING up about buying a camera ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pTNL--Is9Gs.html
I was really close to buying one, until I saw your video - it was the final element that sold me on the product! Much like what you said, I thought it was too good to be true ahahaha
I’ve just purchased one of these and have a question about charging. Is it normal to not see any activity on the rear screen when charging? When I plug mine in there is nothing to indicate it is charging.
Ordered one as a fill on events. Some corners are just too dark. Used to drag a YN360II with me for that. Works fine, but BIG! Very curious to see how this thingie will hold up.
