Users are increasingly demanding with the quality of their streams, so manufacturers such as elgato have devised a series of accessories to achieve the highest image quality. And for that, nothing better than having the best possible light. This is how the Ring Light was born.
A ring of light for your streams
If you have seen professional photography studios, the rings of light will surely sound to you. These spotlights allow perfect lighting around the face, since they offer a peripheral light that surrounds the person to be photographed, thus obtaining very natural skin tones and free of shadows that harden the features.
Well, in elgato they have thought that in an environment such as streaming a ring of light can be the perfect tool to obtain the best image, and for this they have designed a completely intelligent model that can be controlled from the mobile, calibrated the temperature color and, in short, have absolute control of the light that will illuminate us in our video broadcasts.
Build quality
The device comes with a very clean and simple design at the same time, where we will find a small tripod head where we can place our camera and a couple of control buttons with which we can adjust the light intensity completely quickly.
It is useless to offer a lighting system if it does not have quality technology, and that is where elgato has asked for help from OSRAM, which has been in charge of supplying quality LEDs that are free of flicker and capable of offering a soft and very bright, being able to reach 2,500 lumens of intensity. In addition, the variable color temperature allows us to adapt temperatures that range between 2900K and 7000K, so there will be no problems when adapting the projected color in any type of situation.

But in addition to the perfect operation and quality of construction, the Ring Light has wireless connectivity to adjust the parameters from our mobile phone or computer. And it is that either from the application for iOS or Android, reciting a voice command to Siri or using the Stream Deck of the brand, we can adjust the color temperature or the intensity of the light quickly and effectively.
What can I use this Ring Light for?
If you upload videos to YouTube, broadcast live or simply record yourself on video on different topics, this accessory is an essential tool to achieve better communication. The reason is none other than to achieve the perfect lighting for your face, something that is usually crucial when it comes to getting the public hooked or transmitting feelings in different ways.
We cannot think of a better accessory to produce live streams, even video podcasts, since with the help of the accessories that we will have available, we can adapt a mount to hold a microphone or a second camera with which to obtain a second point of view .
