Our take on the Vivitar 9" USB on-Camera Panel Light

The Vivitar 9-inch USB on-camera panel light is a slim RGB LED panel that runs on USB power and mounts on a camera or sits on its included desktop stand. It comes with a wireless remote so you can change color and brightness without leaving the frame. It suits vloggers, streamers and casual video shooters who want adjustable color on a small budget. Against name-brand RGB panels it gives up output power, color accuracy and battery options, and it has no built-in battery, so it needs a USB power source at all times.
