The kind you put a phone in the center for lighting. Are there any accessible ring lights for use with phones, or any way to accessibly use any of them?
They all seem to be complicated with many settings that are accessed through LCD displays and the like. I suppose even one that only has the dimmer buttons could be usable and checked with Seeing AI light. I'm not finding any like that yet.

I've been looking at this one.

I think it has buttons. If you can't figure that out let me know and I'll get my wife to take a look at it again and describe it for you.
To be clear, I don't own this yet. I was actually looking at their standard tripod but considered this because then I'd have pretty much everything I'd need for videos, I'm planning on making pretty simple videos of me sitting or standing demonstrating instruments. Well, I'd probably want to add in the remote too, but still.
Thank you, Khomus
I will look into that. A remote can also be helpful. The buttons would probably be fine. It's the screen and multiple colors that worry me.
Re: Thank you, Khomus
IF you end up getting it, or anything really, let me know how it goes. I'm interested. I know nothing about lighting. I kind of looked at it because my thought was that I'd have lighting with me wherever I am, so that would solve a problem. But I mean, other than making light, I have no idea what a ring light does or why you'd want one. All the cool Youtube kids seem to have one though. But I should do more research to make sure it would actually help with what I'm going for.

Oh, the ring of light shines from such angles that meat out in front of the phone or camera that there are no shadows. Light from one side covers the shadow from the other side on whatever is in that area in front of the camera. The phone is in the center of the ring and flush with the LED surfaces. This can be done in other ways with other lighting, but it's just a one piece setup and easy with the ring.
the one on that site is battery powered and would be good for portability. I did not see a detailed description yet, but I will keep looking into it. The ones I saw on other shopping sites seem to have something like thirty colors and many, many brightness settings. I just need 5,000-6,500K daylight and probably the brightest setting, but maybe dimming it would be useful for some things I might use it for.
I hope that explains things. And thank you again.
