Why it is the pick

A clamp-mounted key light that swings in for talking-head recording and folds away. The question it answers for a buyer: Does an editor need a key light?

Specs that matter

  • Up to 2,100 lm (27 W+ source)
  • 2,900-7,000 K
  • USB-C; clamp 60-88 cm height
  • 15-inch class panel

Check before ordering

Full output needs a 27 W or better USB-C source; check the included power source and cable length
