Ring Flash, Emiral 48 Macro LED Flash Light with LCD Display Power Control, Adapter Rings and Flash Diffuser for Canon, Nikon DSLR Cameras

╔ ■ Price Point: 4.5/5╠ ■ Quality: 5/5╠ ■ Recommendation: 5/5╠ ☼ Overall: 4.5/5╠ ►Product Need: Better DSLR shots╠ ►Product Pros: 8 “setting” rings, LCD screen╠ ►Cons to Consider: no carrying case╠ ►My Review: After getting professional family photos done for our holiday cards, I was recommended to get a flash add on for my Nikon. The expensive prices have put me off, but decided to take a gamble on this one. I am glad I did since I am now getting close up pictures that look 2x better. The different color rings are nice to play with for an amateur like myself, but I don’t tinker with them too much. The flash itself is bright as you would expect if not more, and is adjustable to your shot. The connected wire is annoying to me, but slowly getting used to it. I was concerned my human subjects would yell at me for being too bright, which they have not yet. Overall this is a necessity add on to any expensive DSLR camera owner to enhance short range shots.

The first one was broken. I am thankful for the return simplicity. The second one works, but the attachment of the light ring to the adapters is faulty and the filter comes off easily. I will have to glue it on to keep it connected.

This ring flash is a great value for someone that wants to play with flash photography and macro photography. It's not by any means a professional piece of equipment. It's very cheaply made, will probably get broken if you don't treat it like glass, and i have serious doubts as to how long it will continue to function. However, these are often on sale for $20 and at that price it's practically a consumable item and not that big of a deal if it breaks or something goes wrong with it. Like most camera equipment, it doesn't really matter how good some pro says it is, or how expensive it is, what matters how you use it and if you like the results you get. I've mostly used this for macro shots and have not really experimented with portraits yet, but i'm sure with some playing around with it, it will make decent shots with a nice ring sparkle in the eyes.

The first one I ordered for my Pentax camera was the wrong one. I spoke with customer service for return, but she couldn’t help me select another one. I went through the list of ring flashes, found another listed for my camera. When the new one was delivered I was away, and really busy for awhile; when I finally got a chance to try it I again found that it wasn’t for my camera (the contacts on the hot-shoe was different) So, what I wanted it for passed, as did time. I again got busy and there it sits...

it do not work on Canon R, only the fix light

I bought a ring flash from a company that called itself Ploture. It was seriously worthless, its own parts did not fit together, it just falls off the lens. So I sent it back and bought another. This one is from a company that claims to be Emiral. Different name different model number different price different reviews. But it is the exact same thing. And I really mean exact. Everything about it, except the name, is absolutely identical. Even the instruction booklet is the same (they use some very odd phrasing so the sameness stood out immediately, but it is much deeper than that). It even has the exact same absurd manufacturing flaw, the rings that are needed to connect the device to a camera lens do not hold the device to the lens. The retractable tabs that are supposed to do the job are in the wrong place. The whole model can never have been tested.The worst thing is of course that this is clearly a deliberate fraud. One manufacturer flooding Amazon with identical things that claim to be different. I ran into the same thing about a month ago trying to buy a small safe. Nearly everything chinese, hundreds of hits, but very few products that could possibly be believed to be different. Amazon's complete lack of customer service seriously exacerbates this as there is no way of telling anyone. Although I have no doubt that they are well aware of the situation.I generally don't leave reviews because the requirement that everything must receive a star is offensive. It makes reviews seem much better than they really are, which is obviously the intent.

The media could not be loaded. Recently I purchased a DSLR camera and was looking for ring flash when I encountered this one. I love this ring flash as it is bright enough to shoot in the dark environment too. It is also perfect for taking portrait shots. The only thing to consider is that it doesn't include battery pack. I have also attached a video showing how easy it was to connect to my camera.

For the price...this is a great ring flash. I have it on my Rebel and use it for close up intraoral photography. I have only used it for a couple of weeks so I can not speak to longevity, but instant results are fantastic. I never understood why these things were so expensive. This is not only a light. This has flash capabilities that integrate with the camera.
