All About That Mount
FINALLY, a RGB Box Light that has a functional mounting solution. That's the biggest selling point for this light, by far. Not only can you connect this up to your camera, but it supports mounting another item to this! For the first time, without needing a series of different mounts, or one of those L-shaped grips, I can have both a light AND a microphone attached. Saves so much space in my bag. Can't stress enough how much I like the mount.
Form and features are similar to other little RGB lights, but this one costs about 1/3 less. You have different video effects and the full color spectrum to choose from. I feel like I get better color saturation with the G2 than the other lights I've used, but I could just be seeing this through rose tinted glasses.
Tripod that comes with it is also a fairly standard tripod, but I actually find myself using it quite a bit when I'm doing still and panoramic product shots. It's solid and stable. Can't ask for more! Glad it came with this and not one of the cheap-o "metal" with extendable legs ones that collapses on itself.
Overall a very solid choice. It's inexpensive, bright, has some nice effects, and it HAS AN AWESOME MOUNT! If you're needing a light and are serious about space saving in your camera bag, I don't think you can go wrong with the G2.

So much power and fun from a pocket light
The light is so small and lightweight but it provides a really really bright light source as well as the colorful lights.
A plus point for the USB-C charging port, catching up with the new standard.
The battery lasts very long. I like the effects that the light can do so I can add some fun atmospheres to my videos.
I might buy a couple more and keep them in my bag since they are so lightweight and easy to use.

Small and super powerful light. Bright and full range of colors.
Whoa, this little light is super bright and awesome, it has a built in rechargeable battery on it and it will easily be my new go to travel light and will live in my travel bag with my little tripod.
It’s got an aluminum arm on it and two screw holes to go onto a tripod and seems super durable.
I also discovered that I can screw it on to my portable tripod/selfie stick, so between those two items I can have a portable tripod/selfie stick and now super bright light as well, perfect for travel shots for youtube from the hotel room or quick location shot.
It’s got the full range of rgb colors on it and also some of the other flashing features like police light and fire truck (not that I will use those features, but nice that they were able to pack all those features still into a small light that is not bigger than a portable hard drive.
It is rechargeable and I think they say it has two hours of life on the battery, I haven’t had a chance to test that extent, or if that’s based on full light power or what...but it seems like it has more than enough power for shooting whatever I will need to do.

All the important features
I got this to help balance the light for Zoom calls in a dark room. I use two monitors and use a green screen and virtual backgrounds. Room level lighting comes from behind the green screen and causes problems with shadows and the virtual backgrounds don't work too well. Without extra fill light the second monitor causes glare and reflection on my face. This light gave me the ability to easily experiment with different color temperatures, brightness levels, and angles. What ended up working best for me was the 10k color temperature, 30% max brightness, and the light on top of a shelf pointing into a ceiling angle to reflect onto my face and the green screen. Having the capacity to easily adjust the variables kept this process manageable and as short and simple as it could have been. I used it for around three hours and it still shows a full charge. I really like the display panel on the back - it makes it simple to adjust incrementally and replicate the results if I change it up for different circumstances.
The only thing that would make it better would be a tripod that could adjust up to 24" to 30" tall. It turns out that I didn't need that adjustment (and could have worked around it with a yoga block), but I can see the situation where it would be helpful. Any taller and I have regular tripods that I can use.
I don't have much experience with lighting, but I highly recommend this. It does everything I need and is a really good value.

This is better than listed!
I bought this (yes, my own $$) as a background light for my seminar videos... it is FANTASTIC for that, the colors match my other CRI95+ lights, and it is REALLY solid. That it comes with a tripod and the accessory bracket is even better, and it will fit on a standard 1/4-20 tripod mount. The accessory bracket also has a cold shoe mount so you could mount this light and put a mic on it... great for using the light as a fill or key light for videoconferencing or livestreaming. It also comes with a hot shoe-to-1/4-20 thread adapter so you can mount it on your camera or other cold shoe adapter and haul the camera, light, and external mic around for vlogging.
I'm surprised. The quality is better... it's not some lightweight plastic-y piece of junk but solid with a metal case that acts as a heatsink. The light is fantastic... far stronger than one would think at 100% power, and you can adjust the power, color balance, and hue to whatever you like.
This one light with a gray backdrop will MAKE your studio. The one thing I can't directly speak to is longevity, but plenty of other reviewers have covered that. If you're looking for this type of light... a small panel LCD light with a USB-C-rechargeable battery that ipunches well above it's weight, and that is super-configurable in terms of output, color temp, and hue... look no further. HIGHLY recommended!

A Must Have in Your Lighting Kit
The pros- There is a lot of choices in this size and price range. Some of the nice features here are the attachment that allows you to tilt and lock the angle of the light. It also can act as a nice way of keeping the light propped up. Another pro is the output of this light. It’s very bright at full power. It also has effects which is nice to have although not all are as usable as they could be.
The cons- The controls are a little funky. They use 2 rocker knobs and I just think normal buttons would be a better choice. As mentioned the piece that attaches is nice for being able to tilt, however I wish it was removable and there was another 1/4 hole underneath. Just giving the option to use it with or without and fit into smaller spaces. The effects are nice to have but confusing. They have 2 lightning effects but it’s just a pattern that repeats itself. Real lightning isn’t like that. A single random pattern would have been more usable.
Overall these lights are great and everyone should have some version in their light kit to pull out to get you out of jams. Several choices and this is a great option.

Way Better then expected
This light is way better then I expected.
It is very bright the color temperature settings are very nice and seem to be accurate the added RGB settings are great for more stylized shooting, great for backdrops etc.
The battery has a very long life compared to other lights I have tried, I have not killed the battery, the longest I have used it though is only 5 hours in one go as of this writing.
the construction is very rugged with the aluminum frame.
Overall I am very satisfied with this light.

Looks good - see images and video of the light cycles. Will update after use.
Update: Been nearly a year and still.good. used it a few times. I forget the adjustments on the knobs/dials and have to relearn them again but that's just me. Love the battery power indicator and battery really lasts well.
Seems like a nice strong and well built LED light. Very bright at 100% and may not be needed so bright at night and so is a good thing that brightness can be adjusted as that will help with battery life as well. The Colors can be set to one color or auto on different cycles. The tripod seems nice and sturdy and they also include a little adapter if you want to attach to your camera hotshoe. I also like that you can adjust the angle to reflect the light where you want it to. I will update this after my use. Hope the battery lasts at least a few hours but that is my main concern now.

Powerful and well built little light.
What an awesome little light. The market is currently flooded but I have to say this light meets and exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy and really well built. Has a nice battery life and a ton of lighting options. I used it today for it's "tv" light effect and was so impressed. Not only do I love that this light has an articulating arm, but I was please fly surprised that the light comes with a mini table top tripod!!! So awesome. This bad boy even took 2 four foot falls and doesn't have a scratch on it. Incant say enough nice things about this light. So cool. The light has a hotshoe mount, comes with a charging cable and a pouch. I think I am gonna love this powerful little guy.

Super bright and versatile
This thing gets bright! This is the first panel light I've used, but wow does it really fill a subject well. My biggest complaint is that there's no way/option to add another diffusion panel. I easily made my own with some paper and it helped a lot, seems an easy/cheap thing to add from the factory. It's also quite heavy, but I know that's a function of the quality of materials and the battery life, both of which are very good. The articulation is great, the button layout is good, the adjustments are nice, and having many mounting options is convenient. Definitely a great value for money.
Question & Answer
Question :
I just got this lights and i like them but there is only white and red solid colors? i can't nllset it up to any other solid colors. help!!!!
Answer :
You have to change the menu. Two separate selectors give you access to rotate through the RGB spectrum
Question :
Can you damage the batteries by overcharging or leaving it a cold environment? I've charged it fully, The bars drop so quickly and it just shuts off.
Answer :
I’ve never had an issues with over charging. Or with temperatures drops or increases. I think you have one with a faulty battery. I use mine for night photos. And they last about 4 to 5 hours.
Question :
Does this include an app to control colors?
Answer :
No app :( However it is a really good and bright light.
Question :
Battery life
Answer :
I use the IVISII G2 as a background and product light at 25% power and would say it has a long battery life compared to other similar lights I use. It also uses a USB C type plug that is more robust than the older style USB and charges faster. This is the best small light I own.
Question :
Is the light coming off this already defused and if not can you recommend a good defuser?
Answer :
There is a frosted covering on the front. So yes there is diffusion. If you want more diffusion for a softer look try using it through a lamp shade
Question :
How many lumens is this light?
Answer :
10,000
Question :
I see it has a battery but can you just run it in plug-in mode if the battery is dead/low?
Answer :
This camera light is super convenient & can easily work from a plug-in source should the battery die. Everything about it makes it a reliable choice!
Question :
How do we know when the unit is fully charged?
Answer :
There's indicator light showing if charge is full.
Question :
Has anyone bought or made a diffuser for this? It needs more diffusion.
Answer :
There is not a specific diffuser for this G2. Use,something like a Roscoe Diffusion Sheet, Tough spun, etc.
Question :
where can i buy a replacement arm
Answer :
If I were you, I would just buy a duplicate light. Buy the time you figure out where to get a third leg from on top of the risk of purchasing a mystery product, you will better off knowing for sure that you got a match with a duplicate & an extra unit for more light if needed. This unit is so affordable that repairing a broken leg and/or buying a duplicate is the lease you can do. Also, Amazon is good about returns and/or exchanges so if I were you, I would not waste my time buying a leg for this affordable unit.
