@AaHh1011 Please go to instructables and search for "Build ring light for your camera". It is all there. With detailed text and pictures.

Neccessity is indeed the mother of invention.

Great job!

What video editing software did you use. love the discription of the components that follows it. kind regards Ian

[csongorvarga]

@sincerelyoursincere Hi Ian. I used Adobe Premiere but it was not a special feature. I just moved the caption around as the object moved on the video. What Premiere does that it automatically moves the caption between these set position (key frames) so movement appears continous. But I am assuming it would work similarily in other editors as well which supports key frames for captions.

those are the best ring light i have ever seen..nice build

[csongorvarga]

@ijaden1991 Thanks a lot.

[feedthebear51]

Will it help me on product photography?

[csongorvarga]

@feedthebear51 I think it will. If you go for catalogue-like photos not some impressionist snaps than I think it would. Especially of you have glass or silver surfaces you don't get one highlight, but a more even exposure.

[feedthebear51]

Why i like more the photos taken with a flash than your ring? Is it right?

[csongorvarga]

@feedthebear51 When I use the ring light I want to take pictures that has no cast shadows to show the details. I usually use it to document my models where artistic value is not a preference. Flash photos are nice too, but that's not why you would use a ring light.

[ramtrix]

Thanks for sharing,, I order my ring lights from china ( ebay ) and just waiting for them to arrive and start working with the rings. I'll follow your tutorial. Nice work.

[csongorvarga]

@ramtrix Thanks a good luck. It is not that difficult.

[RAMXC]

Can you tell me what's the power of the 3 rings?And how long can stay on with two 9V batteries?

[csongorvarga]

@RAMXC Honestly, I never ran on batteries, but I got the following comments on my Instructables: there will be around 1 hour on full intensity than slowly dim away. I was told that 8 AA batteries would give much better performance. Ring draw 100, 130 and 170 mA respectively (on 12 V).

[hifispec01]

Greetings from Colombia in South America. Excellent job on the video. Turned out great! Thanks for sharing such precise step-by-step instructions!

[csongorvarga]

@hifispec01 Thank you very much. I am glad you like it.

[MrJosarturo]

Inprecionante. Te felicito

[RedMonkeyKran]

Jó ötlet, le is koppintom azt hiszem! :-)

[piperman2010]

very impressive idea~~~

[csongorvarga]

Yes, AA batteries would give better performance, but I end up running them from adaptors all the time anyway.

[Hottttdamn]

9volt batteries and metal aren't a good combo, suggest plastic case.

If you are looking for these lights they are called "LED Angel Eyes"

[Sunarta]

a Pro... video maker

[rocketboyroger]

Nice, I'd like to have a go at this some time :) ...and I actually really like this music :D

[csongorvarga]

@rocketboyroger Thanks and go for it. It took 2-3 evenings for me, but if you have everything it can be done in a day.

[seriago]

Great instructions AND video editing! Thanks for sharing.

[csongorvarga]

@seriago Thanks. This is the first of it's kind. I enjoyed it, hopefully more will follow.

[nobuoka401]

nice and LED-ring frash

however i focus to your use Soldering-pen

how much did you buy it with where construct pen

welding possible, too?

[csongorvarga]

@nobuoka401 The gas soldering iron was somewhere around £20 at Maplin. It was on sale when I bought it. I used electronic iron before, and I don't see much difference. It is nice not to carry the wire around. Otherwise it is the same as the electric. But do use soldering fluid as it makes it much easier and the end result is much nicer.

[nobuoka401]

@csongorvarga ah~i understand that by gas right maker is maplin

but verry nice fire

anyway barkbox arrive yesterday from us

i show it on my channel a few day

see you

[TheIndianRailways]

Wow cool stuff ...awesome video

[magick93]

Nice video editing! How did you get the labels to move with the objects in the video?

[csongorvarga]

@magick93 Neat eh? I am using Adobe Premiere for video editing. There you can move text (any object for that matter) and specify its location at a given frame (keyframe). If you move give two different location at different times the program works out the transition automatically. The secret here is to specify high number of keyframes so the text appears to follow the object. It is quite time consuming because the movement of my hand is hardly linear. It was maybe a 15-20 min work per objects.
