Smartphones, such as the iPhone 17 (with its 18MP front-facing camera), enable filmmakers to capture high-quality video clips or portraits. When shooting in low light, however, your clips and photos may be blighted by picture noise caused by the camera’s need to use higher ISO speeds. Some smartphones use computational processing in an attempt to hide noise in clips and stills, but this can result in a loss of detail.
The Godox Litemons LR30Bi offers an effective solution to recording smartphone footage in low-light locations. It’s a highly portable mini ring LED that you can pop in your pocket and quickly attach to your smartphone to capture better-looking footage on the go. The best ring lights are often positioned so the lens shoots through the hole, for flattering all-around lighting that surrounds the subject, as well as producing donut-shaped catchlights in the eyes.
