This product is great. I was confident in using it based on the description and practicality. I think there are some areas which can be improved but it's too early to tell yet. I will look forward to using in continuously.

I bought FS-150 first and that arrived with a damaged reflector. The way they designed their packaging, it's not a surprise it happened. I then changed my mind and returned the FS-150 because I realized I want to be able to control the color temperature on the same budget. And boy do I like this SmallRig light!Pros:- very pleasantly surprised by the tripod mount in the Smallrig, FS-150 felt flimsy even though this was my first video light ever, and I wasn't even comparing the mount to anything, it just felt cheap. Smallrig's is rock solid.- I couldn't figure out how to use the mobile app for remote control with FS-150, it just wouldn't find the light and I wasn't able to find how to put it into pairing mode on the web. With 120B I was able to do this in minutes and the app works great. Very reliable. It also remotely updated the firmware on 120B on first launch.- The way the carrying case this ships in is padded is a total overkill. No way this would've arrived with the reflector dented in several places like FS-150 did. And it didn't.- I like the Bowens mount latch slightly better on Smallrig. This is a very minor point though.- External power brick makes for a smaller/lighter light, which feels stirdier on a tripod- And of course the ability to regulate color temperatureCons:- Not as bright as the FS-150 at the same price- The fan noise profile is not as pleasant as the FS-150. But unlike FS-150, which has the fan running at all times, regardless of brightness. Smallrig only turns the fan on when necessary. For example it would turn it on for a couple of minutes after running at full brightness for 5 minutes or so and turn it off again a minute or so later.- I use this with an Aputure lantern softbox, but for those who doesn't, the diode surface area is much smaller, so I'd expect this to have a harsher light out of the box without a softbox/diffuser compared to FS-150 or any other light with a diode array.

Bought this as I already owned several 120b lights. I like using these as I can operate them all from the app and it gives me huge flexibility without having to reach the light, meaning they can be huge from ceilings or difficult to reach places and you can still control the CCT and strength from the app. Great performance.

So I’ve tested this one two shoots this week, 120w may not seem a lot but when you pair it with a goo modifier you can get great results from it.I could have done with the 220w so I didn’t have to push my iso for video that much, but for the price of the 120w I couldn’t pass it up.It does its job well. No flickering. I had it on for hours and didn’t even hear the fan.The only let down about smallrig is the app. It just refuses to work, but I didn’t get this light for the app so I can overlook that.I think I’m going to get a few more for my projects, I love the case it comes with. It’s so convenient, keeps everything packed nicely and safe.It is a little bit plasticky but that’s what you expect from this price point plus it keeps the weight down.The colour accuracy is really good.

Small enough to use in home studio, powerful enough to use for most jobs.

Very good light simple to setup

The light somehow burned itself with a soft box attached which could have been disastrous for the shoot and client.I tried using Smallrig product support to report but their site won’t accept the Amazon order number so thats it, no support available it seems.A 0/10 for product and after sales service Im afriad and I say that as someone who has bought alot from Smallrig but will stick to buying less important items as a result.

This light is absolutely perfect, it’s compact, bright and well constructed. Perfect for what I need.Only Cristian will be the non inclusion of the v mount adapter which should come as standard.Other than that, you couldn’t go wrong with this light.
