Canon Control Ring

[Neoprene] When I first purchased my R6 cameras, the Canon adapters were sold out, so I've been using Vello adapters for over a year now. They work, but they both let in light leaks. Sometimes I liked the dreamy look, but other times they made my wedding photos look hazy when they shouldn't have been. I bought the Canon control ring after shooting a few backlit wedding ceremonies where the Vello was really letting in a lot of light spill. So far, I've really enjoyed the Canon adapter! I shot a wedding last weekend with it on one camera and the Vello on the other and I noticed a big difference. I'm purchasing a second Canon adapter now. The control ring is a nice feature, too. I've set mine to control my Kelvin. Now I have scroll wheel controls for all my basic settings!

[Neoprene] This control ring works excellent on both Canon R5 and the Canon R6. I love being able to have this feature to use my old lenses as well as my Sigma art lenses. Highly suggested.

[0.44 lb] I love this adapter that lets me use all my old EF glass on my newer canon mirrorless. Control ring adds so much versatility and helps me get to the shots I want so much faster!

[Neoprene] This thing does what I need it to do and with the added bonus of the control ring.

[Yes] This control ring works exactly as it should and allow me to use my EF lenses on my new R5 II.

[3.1 x 3 x 1.4"] Nicely made, simple to use, excellent price point. Aperture control ring is a nice plus.

[200' / 60 m] Just finished a trip to the Caribbean using this housing and it performed very well. The first thing you'll notice is just how bulky it is. I was more used to the slim fit of Canon's underwater housings for their Digital Elph line of pocket shooters. Sony's unit must make room for the full throw of the 70mm (equiv.) zoom lens, a mechanism to turn the control ring around the lens, and flexibility to fit all five RX100 models. Once you get over the size, you'll appreciate the amount of control you have over the unit. You'll have access to nearly every button and lever on the camera, including the control ring. About the only functionality you'll lose is the ability to spin the click wheel in the lower right of back controls. But, you can still operate that wheel as a 4-way D-pad with 4 dedicated buttons. In terms of usability, size does play a factor. The bulk might make one-handed operation tricky for folks with small hands. It will definitely consume the use of one hand entirely; you can't just let it dangle from your wrist. So, climbing a ladder back onto a boat, managing your flippers and snorkel, etc. can be a challenge. I usually had to hand my camera off at that point. Once in the water, the weight of the housing is balanced nicely by its buoyancy. It's pretty easy to keep it pointed at a target, even one-handed. If you let go of it, it will float, but it's not fighting you while trying to shoot. Still, you'll need 2 hands to keep it steady for video, especially with any kind of current. My only wish is that the camera itself had a higher top end on LCD screen brightness. It was the first thing I had to dig through the settings on once underwater. And, it only goes up 2 levels, which was still a challenge depending on the angle of sunlight. As such, I never made use of control ring and relied solely on full auto mode. All in all, I made out with some great photos and HD/4K video. And had the peace of mind and confidence to take a $900 camera underwater

[1 lb / 0.45 kg] First off, I highly recommend these lights! I’m a youth speaker for high school students and needed to transition to virtual presentations. These lights bring in a lot of character to my backdrop. I like how you can switch from bi-color (3200-5600) and colors. If I need more light on my face, I put one off to the side in front of me and put a diffuser in. The brightness adjusts in 1% increments which gives me more control over how I want to look on camera. Personally, I don’t like ring lights and feel these panels light your face more fully without having that weird ring in your eye. I’ve attached pictures to show how I have them light my background. I’ll let you be the judge with the pictures but I love how they make my studio look. I put these out at almost full power to give you a perspective of how bright they can be. Normally I have the blue light for the background at 40% and it’s plenty bright. I also like using one on white paper when I’m drawing or writing to make the paper pop more. Having the other two in different colors definitely gives more depth for the backdrop.  If you’re like me and have a virtual studio, I feel these lights can definitely help you give more options to how you want your background to look. They come in a very nice case with everything you need. The app is straightforward to use and allows you to control the lights from your phone which makes things much easier for me when I’m changing the look of my setup. You also can do different with the lights as well (flickering, etc) I would definitely get them again and am very happy with the way they make my virtual setup pop more. If you’re contemplating getting them, I hope this review was helpful in your decision.  Final recommendation: Don't use a fake background! Make your background how you want it. It's more real way. My two cents!

[Black] I was a bit skeptical at first but the ring is solid and the electronic control is useful. I can operate the gimbal and get smoother footage using this with my RS3 Pro.

[Tripod Clamp] I use this for high school football and weddings mainly, but think it is great for anything. It allows you so much control over the functions you use the most. I video mostly in manual mode so I like to use the manual focus ring on my GL 2. It is such a comfort to have one hand on the tripod controling the zoom while panning and tilting and leaving the focusing to my other hand. You could also do the focusing from the handle as well but I just like using the ring. I could not do without this item. I used my first one for 6 years before it went out. Had to get a new one.
