Lume Cube Panel Pro 2.0 RGB Camera Light | for Photography & Videography, fits Sony, Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Fuji, and More | Bluetooth App, Adjustable Color, Camera Mount & Diffuser Included

I had the Lume Cube Go before and it was okay, but I was hoping to get a little more light output from this one. Plus, the phone app control seemed like it would be nice. When I got this Lume Cube I was really surprised how much nicer it was. The build quality of this unit appears to be quite a bit better than that of the Go. The illumination is great (1500 lumens rather than 1000), lots more control of color and saturation and a wider range of white temperature. Also, the app is really nice and seems to control the light with no lag. Even the camera mount was much more solid feeling and easier to tighten down on the camera shoe. The diffuser cover also seems to be much nicer than the Go. Diffusing the light but not cutting too much brightness. Upon first use, it seems to light the whole scene evenly at 28mm on a full-frame camera. I think I'm really going to like this light. I hope it holds up.

These Lume Cubes are all i buy. I started out on prime day a few years back and got a smaller one for zoom calls, loved it, small bright and easy. When i was looking for a photo light, Lume Cube was a no brainier. With the RGB tech you can actually see how everything looks before you even take the picture. Attaches with hot shoe and the battery life is great on the first so im sure it will be good for this one also. So far flawless performance. I use it with the app and it does everything i expected and more. You can not go wrong with these pieces of tech.

Overall this light is a 10/10 if you want to know if you should get it or not the answer is yes. If you want to know more about why keep reading. The construction on this panel is very nice with a solid aluminum case and mount. I primarily use this for shooting cars at night and some portraits and the brightness is the perfect level. Having quick access to warmth and brightness on the back panel is super convenient. The app also offers great control for scenes and color on the light. Plus having it as a battery bank is huge as it can save you on a shoot if all your batteries die. There was really only one con if you want to call it that to this product. That would be the mount for the camera hot shoe. The mount is okay but when you screw it into the lume cube the panel can still turn a little to easily in my opinion even when you fully tighten the collar. Do other portable panel lights do it just as good? Maybe Is this one overpriced for the name? Maybe a little Would I buy this tomorrow if mine was stolen? Absolutely

Update Review 6/20. I have to say though I was unhappy with the light and how it stopped charging, their customer service is excellent. After reading my review they reached out to me to troubleshoot, they asked if I was using the correct cord and since I wasn’t sure I had the correct cord anymore, they sent me out on record to test it, when that cord did not charge the light, they sent me out a brand new light immediately. They were extremely helpful during this entire process. Changing the review from a 1 to a 4 just because of the customer service. If the new light continues to work, I will up date of the review to a five star. Purchase the light in December and by March it wasn’t working, I didn’t even use it a lot, think I got to use it 2 or 3 times and now it just won’t charge. Lights won’t even indicate it’s trying to charge. Tried different chargers and outlets and nothing. Big waste of money

The Lume Cube Panel Pro is as advertised. It is pricy, but delivers in the highest level. The app is a great way to control the lights. One ifctge best aspects is the snap on light diffuser. It is very minimal compared to silicon ones that covers the whole light. It can snap on and off with the panel attached.

I'm not big on flash. I personally can't stand how harsh flash can look and for me personally, bringing a whole flash set on location in area's that aren't exactly the best but have the best graffiti isn't ideal. This little video light is great! No it doesn't have the power true flash can have, but for me, it's a great alternative. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter. Having worked with dogs from so many different situations, I find a lot of them do NOT like flash. So this light comes in handy. To preserve the battery I turn it off when I'm not using it and so far, even at 100% it's lasted my usual "shift" which is about 3 hours. The light has an app with it as well. You can change the light to almost any color which makes for really cool effects. For such a small light you can so so much with it! I highly recommend!

After getting a couple of IVISII panels that I'm very happy with, I decided to give Lumecube a shot because of the app functionality, and honestly, I figured that costing three times as much, there'd be a good reason. Spoiler: there's not. Construction Upon arrival, the difference in construction was evident. Lumecube is thinner and lighter, but not in a good way. By comparison, it just makes it feel cheaper and more fragile than the IVISII. Hardware Controls The Lumecube has a power button and single dial. While the IVISII sports two dials and a slider switch making it far easier, more robust, and intuitive to use. While Lumecube touts a "color" LCD screen, this adds absolutely zero value. The single dial control on the Lumecube is rather counterintuitive, and after using the IVISII first, felt like a large step backward. Huge ding for hardware that's hamstrung while commanding 3x the cost. App While IVISII doesn't have an app, this is still a win. Lumecube's app looks as if it was completed in a single weekend by an engineering student working for a case of Mountain Dew. The whole UX is atrocious, difficult to control, and rife with spelling errors. Trying to select a color is virtually impossible due to wildly poor execution. This amounts to an app that's basically useless. Don't take my word for it—go check out its 1.5 star rating. Random Functionality Nobody Asked For Both panels sport basically the same random set of gimmicky light effects. They're basically the light version of those cheesy tune presets on an old Casio keyboard. Fun to turn on once. Even more fun to turn off forever. Final verdict The cheesy effects pull back the curtain on Lumecube to reveal that it's basically the same LED panel as other competitors, with a broken app that asks 3x the money of better constructed clones. Hats off to the Lumecube guy, who's likely raking it in with this hustle. But with the IVISII beating the Lumecube at every turn, there's literally zero reason to justify spending 3 times the cost on an inferior product.

these are helpful when shooting on location and needing additional light. I've used them to help the lighting out a bit at music performances and sessions.
