Overhead Phone Mount with Ring Light 10in LED Selfie Light - Desk

In this review of the Overhead Phone Mount with Ring Light, the bottom line is clear: creators who need consistent, shadow-free illumination and a flexible mounting solution will find this kit delivers strong value. The package combines a 10in USB-powered ring light, a fully rotatable phone holder and a wireless shutter, and the biggest reason to buy is the controllable, even lighting across three color modes and ten brightness levels that lifts video calls, streaming and close-up work without a complicated setup.

Key Features

• USB-powered with long cable: The included 6.23ft USB cable makes placement easy and lets the ring sit where it works best on a desk without short cables restricting position.
• Exact power requirements: Requiring a 5V adapter with at least 2A ensures stable operation and prevents the intermittent on/off flicker seen with weaker ports.
• 3 color modes and 10 brightness levels: White, natural and warm modes combined with ten steps of intensity let you fine-tune lighting for skin tones, product shots or ambient mood.
• 360 rotation and 180 tilt: The overhead phone mount swings and tilts freely so you can center the phone and adjust angle quickly for framing, hands-free recording, or overhead shots.
• Wireless remote shutter: The small remote triggers camera shutter on iOS and Android devices for hands-off shooting, simplifying single-operator workflows.

Who It's For

This kit is well suited for vloggers, livestreamers, online instructors, nail and craft creators, and anyone who records at a desk and needs soft, even light. The combination of overhead positioning and adjustable color/brightness makes it useful for product close-ups, cooking videos, and Zoom calls that benefit from flatter, shadow-free illumination.

Those who rely on laptop USB ports for power or need control of the light from the remote should look elsewhere: the light needs a dedicated 5V/2A+ adapter and the remote only triggers the phone camera, it does not change brightness or color modes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work from a laptop USB port?
No. The ring light needs exactly 5V and at least 2A; most laptop USB ports supply only 1A and may cause flicker.

Does the remote change brightness or color?
No. The included remote only triggers the phone camera shutter; brightness and mode changes must be made on the ring light control.

Can it hold any smartphone?
The mount rotates and tilts broadly and fits most phones, but some customers report mixed grip strength, so very large or heavy phones should be tested for stability.
