Ring lights for beauty and close up videos

With you starting out I would try and get a cheaper ring light but something that is decent quality. I have 3 ring lights I bought back in 2020 roughly, they were £20 each on ebay with RGB colour changing and warm and white light settings etc they have lasted so well but they no longer sell the same ones on ebay. I would probably go with a Neewer product off somewhere like Amazon for your first ring light if you want the best quality and well made product and definitely a smaller one with a tripod included and cradle for your phone.

Something like this on the cheaper end would probably work well for you as well -

You could maybe try a clip on light like these ones: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NEEWER-Selfie-…e/dp/B08VGJ1TK9 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/3200K-5600K-Ph…/dp/B0D9W57M4Y/

I think what you may be looking for is a smaller light with a mini tripod. You could possibly use a cheaper ring light on a mini tripod too, some may even come with one. The ones above are much smaller than a 12 inch ring light and very portable.
