The YN308W LED Video Ring Light from Yongnuo features a distinctive-shaped light fixture with an output of 5500K. The fixture comes with a special grip handle for handholding for a very soft, slightly directional look. You can also mount it to a grip head and shoot through it for a silky smooth near-shadowless effect that is flattering to your talent's complexion. A bonus is the unique circular shape of the light that is reflected in the eyes of your subject.

The included remote control allows for quick lighting adjustments from a distance. For convenience on larger setups, up to eight YN308W lights can be controlled with the RC. The YN308W can be powered using an AC adapter (not included), or by two Sony NP-F750 series batteries (not included). Please note that a single battery only powers half of the LEDs, and that full functionality requires either an AC adapter or two NP-F batteries. Included with the light is the removable handle and a storage pouch.
