I've owned a few Lumecube products as part of my photography and video kit for years. The company has a great reputation regarding not only light quality but also build quality that's built for the long haul in a content creator's career. The Cordless Ring Light Pro is a great option from the company. 

This cordless light has a professional build quality aimed at photographers and videographers, with a subtle nod to content creators using their smartphones. The device comes with an adjustable smartphone clamp that works well in landscape and portrait modes. The actual light fixture produces beautiful diffused light at many brightness and color temperature levels. This is important, as you can change the "mood" of your shot based on brightness level and color temperature. StandardAngle: 135 degrees | 5600K color temperature | Up to 4 hours in battery life | Magnetic mountis ideal for creating a natural daylight look, but adjusting hues to tungsten can be another way to create a warmer, moody shot.

When using this ring light from Lumecube, you cannot vlog on the go, as the kit is connected to a standard light stand you'd find in a studio setting. The kit is portable but not necessarily ideal for run-and-gun capture of typical vlogging. But if you're creating a flat lay or top-down production shot, the Ring Light Pro will allow you to angle the light for perfectly flat lighting in a top-down orientation. This helps with minimizing shadows on your product. At$279 the Cordless Ring Light Pro may be a bit pricey for new creators. But seasoned content creators will find great value in the price considering what's offered with this kit.

Joby has been a popular vendor for content creators for many years and was once the standard for mobile tripods -- the GorillaPod 5K flexible tripod is something I still use to this day for various mounting scenarios on set. But this isn't a list of tripods. This is of ring lights for your smartphone. 

Joby's Beamo ring light uses the MagSafe offered on the Apple iPhone to seamlessly attach a nice lighting option for vloggers and creators. The$50 price is fair considering the build quality, up to four-hour battery life, and 5600K color temperature. Though I'll provide the asterisk here: While Joby touts four-hour battery life, the battery life actually depends on the brightness. If you're going full power for brightness, you will not get four hours of battery life, but more like 90 minutes. Either way, good numbers. 

Though the Beamo ring light is marketed as a MagSafe option, it's not just for iPhones: It will work with most other flagship Android devices, as well.

Photo and video professionals often use Westcott lighting and backdrops on their sets. In addition to offering great monolights and flashes, Westcott offers a universal ring light that can be used on smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The premise is geared more towards making video chat look great with better lighting than professional-quality lighting, but it can still make a big difference.

This ring light offers daylight color temperature and three levels of brightness. It's pretty standard in what you should look for in your lighting options. Perhaps more importantly, it comes at an eye-opening price of$17. Of course, there's a caveat. At$17, you're not getting ultra-bright lighting. You'll get just enough for a dimly lit room, but probably not good enough for a night at the campsite with no lights outside.

Ulanzi has quietly been a popular budget-friendly brand for content creators. The selfie ring light offered here is a nice option as it provides the convenience and features needed for content creators, including seven brightness levels, adjustable color temperature, and a swiveling head to allow creators to adjust where the light is cast. This is helpful for product photography or video. 

There's even a strong magnet to attach your smartphone. There's no need to worry about tightening down clamps or brackets to secure the camera. The controls interface to adjust the light settings is easy to access, but Ulanzi also includes a wireless remote to cycle through settings if you'd like.
