One of the easiest ways to improve the quality of your ‘talking head’ smartphone video footage is to add an LED light to your setup. In low light, your smartphone-sourced video footage may suffer from noise artifacts or look fuzzy and pixelated. The AiXPi Ring Light 10" offers a highly affordable way to give your smartphone camera much more light to work with, leading to better-looking footage and higher production values.
I’d not tested and reviewed an AiXPi product before, but this China-based company produces a wide range of ring lights, aimed at meeting the lighting needs of YouTube content creators and influencers without blowing their budgets. The AiXPi Ring Light 10" is designed to hold smartphones with a universal spring-clip mount, and it had no trouble holding my iPhone 17, even in its protective case.
