Elgato Key Light - Professional 2800 lumens Studio Light with Desk clamp for Streaming, Recording and Video Conferencing, Temperature and Brightness app-Adjustable on Mac, PC, iOS, Android

These lights are awesome. The lights plus the software make them fully worth the cost in my opinion. They put out a TON of light, so much that for my purposes I'm never using them on more than 7-10% brightness. I'm not using these for photography currently (but I might in the future), and I don't podcast. However, I do work from home, and these do an awesome job of providing key and side lighting of my face to provide balance to my video conference image when the afternoon sun is playing through my windows and illuminating the rear of my office, which would have caused my image to be silhouetted in the past. The control software for these is really cool; since they connect to the wifi, I can operate them easily from any of my multiple devices, whether computers or personal devices (e.g. phone). The controls allow fine-tune control of both the brightness and color temperature of the light. It's a very well-thought-out holistic solution from the quality and consistency (and power) of the lighting to the means of controlling the lights. It also pairs very easily with HomeAssistant, allowing me to include the lights in my smart home automations. Finally, I actually bought two of these, and they are both VERY easy to control as a pair within the control software on all my devices, with a separate button provided to turn them on or off as a pair, and even an option to control the color/brightness adjustments for both simultaneously or independently as needed.

Okay. I know I am late to the party, this thing has been out a few years. But I finally got one, and paired it with a streamdeck, and let me tell you - it's worth every penny. First off - a bit about me so you get some context: I'm a professional VFX Supervisor on big streaming shows by trade. I do a lot of photography and do some youtube and twitch streaming for fun, as a hobby. But I spend my life dealing with lighting both on set and virtually in VFX. It's my passion. So it comes down to what you need. You can absolutely NOT get this light and make a great looking setup using china balls from ikea or whatever. So this is def somewhat of a luxury expense. But... it's such a nice luxury and can do some trick things to make your stream look more sexy. Pros: -First off, I love all things about this being wi-fi. I know this could be a con if wi-fi goes down. But controlling a light from a phone app or deck or computer is great. If you are a one man band, imagine the time savings. I mean, sure, you can plop it on a computer desk, but you can also screw it on to any light stand and use it for a short film, etc. Get 3 of these and you can adjust a classic thee light setup while at your camera - huge. -Size. I love that this thing is flat. It's not THAT light, but light enough I can travel with 2-3 of these things in one case easy. -Color and dimming and brightness. As seen in other reviews, it does a nice job changing from something pretty close to actual kelvin color degrees. And it's plenty bright for its size. It is NOT as bright as my aperture light, but it's also not an aperture light that costs 700 dollars. and it runs cool and doesn't need a giant soft box to be useful. -Diffusion. Speaking of softness. I was going to make a "OK" category, but I think I will keep it in Pros. It is cleverly soft for what it is. I don't think this magic diffusion panel makes the light as soft as a true soft box. You really need some distance from the light source to make it catch and bounce the light rays. I compared it to a soonwell LED light I have with a softbox on it that is about 6 inches away, and the soonwell is indeed softer. However, going back to size, space and conviencence - it is about as soft as I have seen for this flat a profile. If I were in a pinch I could easily bounce this off a wall or some white card to really get soft. I also think I can print a few simple 3D components to make my own simple soft box, if I need it. For streaming it's plenty fine. CONS - -Wifi - I know it is also a pro for me, because it leads to such convenience. But you are reliant on having a wifi router for these things. for A V2 of this light, it would be nice to have some manual knobs on the back as a back up option. -Streamdeck - I would almost say getting a stream deck or the stream deck phone app is essential for these. It's such a surprisingly pleasant way to control your lighting. Like a mini lightboard in your hand. The streamdeck can also control my phillips hue strip lighting on my desk and room, so I can make cool gaming presets at push of a button. -Cost - They do cost more than a lot of knock offs you can get online. For me it is worth the money. And if you start digging in to "professional" light costs, like apertures and such, these are a steal. But if you are on a budget, you can sacrifice wifi convenience and get a pair of two similar style lights for like, under 200 dollars, with soft boxes. I got something like that for my wife and she loves them. -Ball head. The ballhead on the stand is cheap plastic. I will probably switch them out for manfrotto ballheads one day, if they break, but they're def not meant for constant movement or adjustment. Conclusion For me, these make streaming life a ton better. So much space saved in my office and I can do some really nice lighting fast and cool. I'm giddy with all the possibilities. As filmmaker, I'm also really starting to see where teh future of lighting is going, especially for indie style work. On my big shows we often use titan tubes, which do similar things to this light but cost an astronomical amount. Now, with a portable router and a cheap streamdeck, I could make my own portable three light system for filming, or even constant light style photography. I could fit all of this in to one camera bag and maybe another bag for extension cables and modifiers and such. If I were going around shooting interviews and weddings, I could do some really cool tricks with these. Anyway. I love em and that's what I got! lol

Uso le Elgato Key Light da anni, principalmente per i miei corsi di Project Management e Leadership, e devo dire che la differenza che fanno è sbalorditiva. Se cercate un'illuminazione professionale che vi valorizzi al meglio, senza il fastidio di montare un set da studio complesso, questa è la soluzione definitiva. Luce Potente e Perfettamente Uniforme La qualità della luce è il suo punto di forza: è potente, ma allo stesso tempo incredibilmente morbida e diffusa. Questo elimina completamente le ombre dure e quel fastidioso effetto riflesso tipico delle luci economiche. Massima Flessibilità: È totalmente regolabile sia in intensità (luminosità) che in temperatura colore (dal caldo accogliente al freddo professionale), permettendoti di adattarla istantaneamente a qualsiasi ambiente o mood. Il Vero Game Changer: Controllo Intelligente Ciò che rende la Key Light superiore è la sua integrazione smart. Si controlla interamente via app (da PC/Mac o smartphone) o tramite un Elgato Stream Deck, senza dover mai toccare l'unità fisica. Configurazione Istantanea: Puoi impostarla in pochi secondi, salvare i tuoi profili preferiti e cambiare l'atmosfera luminosa all'istante, cosa perfetta per le dirette, le videocall o quando si cambia contesto (ad esempio, passare da una presentazione ai corsi). Design Solido e Funzionale Il supporto da scrivania (Master Mount) è solido, affidabile e permette un posizionamento versatile senza occupare troppo spazio. Non è solo efficace, è discreto. Nota sull'Affidabilità: Su quattro unità acquistate, solo una ha avuto un problema isolato al gancio di montaggio. Amazon ha gestito il reso e la sostituzione in modo impeccabile. In sintesi: La Key Light è un investimento che ripaga. Non è solo una luce, è uno strumento professionale che eleva immediatamente la qualità di qualsiasi contenuto video.

Renk sıcaklığını ve soğukluğunu ayarlayabiliyorsunuz. Parlaklığını ayarlayabiliyorsunuz. 3 yıldır kullanıyorum inanılmaz iyi bir ürün.

Después de varias semanas usando la Elgato Key Light, puedo decir que marca una diferencia enorme en la calidad de mis grabaciones y directos. Es una luz pensada para quien quiere resultados profesionales sin tener que montar un estudio completo. La intensidad de hasta 2800 lúmenes es más que suficiente incluso en habitaciones iluminadas. Lo mejor es que puedes ajustar el brillo de forma muy precisa, desde una luz suave y cálida hasta una iluminación muy potente para eliminar sombras. La temperatura de color también se controla fácilmente, lo que ayuda muchísimo a mantener el tono de piel natural en cámara. La integración con el software de Elgato es otro punto muy fuerte. Puedes ajustar todos los parámetros desde el PC o incluso desde el móvil. En mi caso, tener perfiles guardados (grabación, reunión, directo, noche) me ha ahorrado tiempo y me permite mantener una calidad constante. Cosas que destacan especialmente: • ✔️ Luz muy uniforme, sin parpadeos ni zonas quemadas • ✔️ Control remoto intuitivo vía Wi-Fi • ✔️ Montaje sólido, especialmente el brazo que se sujeta perfectamente a la mesa • ✔️ No se calienta casi nada incluso después de horas de uso • ✔️ Perfecta para streaming, videollamadas, fotografía y contenido de redes Como detalle a considerar: el montaje ocupa menos espacio que un softbox tradicional, pero el brazo sí requiere una mesa estable para fijarlo correctamente.

Das Elgato Key Light hat mein Setup komplett verändert. Schon nach dem ersten Einschalten merkt man, wie angenehm und gleichmäßig das Licht ist. Kein grelles Blenden, keine harten Schatten – einfach ein sauberes, freundliches Licht, das sofort professioneller wirkt. Besonders praktisch finde ich, dass man alles bequem per App am PC steuern kann, auch mit dem Elgato StreamDeck. Helligkeit und Lichtfarbe lassen sich schnell anpassen, egal ob für Videocalls, Streaming oder einfach zum Arbeiten. Ein paar Klicks – fertig. Die Lampe selbst ist sehr hochwertig verarbeitet und steht stabil auf dem Schreibtisch, ohne viel Platz wegzunehmen. Sie wirkt unauffällig, aber genau das macht sie perfekt. Egal ob für Homeoffice, Videos oder einfach besseres Licht am Schreibtisch: Das Elgato Key Light ist eine Investition, die sich wirklich lohnt. Einmal eingerichtet, will man nicht mehr darauf verzichten. Absolute Empfehlung meinerseits!
