Vivitar Flerx Ring Light and Smart Phone Kit
This USB connected, multi setting ring light w/ smartphone holder is clutch for easy set up and readjustment that I bought a 2nd for around $20!! The weight of a smartphone my need a support below but other than that a clutch product for streaming/ video calls. Thanks!

Unworkable in my situation, so returned
This was meant to light me during Zooms, but it did not rise tall enough to show up above the back of my computer. the 24" neck wasn't truly 24" tall. Had to return.

Quit working
It worked great for a day and then quit. Just waiting to take it back when I get a chance.

Light shorted out
I like the clamp and the phone holder does the trick. The light shorted out after only 4-5 uses. Would not buy again

Will be returning
I thought the flexible arm would give me all kinds of options. What I didn't anticipate is that the arm wasn't strong enough to hold up my phone... Poor design.

worked for about 20 minutes
Clip is solid- goose neck works well- ring lights are bright enough and include two hues (warm and cool) unfortunately half of the lights stopped working about twenty minutes after plugging it in.

Vivitar ring light
I love this light! It is easy to use. The different light features are great! It’s adjustable and has a very sturdy clamp to hold onto any surface! I would definitely recommend to buy this!

It is what you pay for
Clip is small and does not like desk I bought from staples. Too small for weight of arms with iPhone 12 Mini! Would be nice if the phone arm was longer. It can work with adaptations. I’m not paying a lot, so there is that. It will do for now. Will upgrade later.

works as advertised
This light and phone holder actually works. It attaches to the edge of a desk or table. It holds a phone securely and allows you to film without holding the phone. Light works OK but I really did not have to depend on it. I highly recommend. Well worth the money.

Last one I bought, the clips broke after a year for the phone handset. Shame I had to replace the whole light

Pretty effective light
Inexpensive but handy with a small but powerful light and extra holder for a phone

Very easy to use and adjust. Strong spring clamp.
This item is exactly as advertised. Easily installed. Easily adjustable. Innocuous but fine appearance. Very well built.

Great Value for the Price
Light was easy to put in place. It has three lighting settings to choose from. Not overpriced.

Ok
The stand is very very heavy. Cohen works well and the light is good however the phone arm is weak and drooped with my phone in it

Vivitar ring light
I couldn’t get the star on this review page to respond. Light works, it is very small, the power cord is very short, and so is the extension pole for the phone holder. My expectations were greater than the small set-up.
Would rate this 2 stars. You get what you pay for,
