TL;DR: Find your light with the TaoTronics 2" Selfie Ring Light with 61" Extendable Tripod & 2 Phone Holders, on sale for 14% off, making it just $42.99 as of Sept. 14.


Selfie rings aren't just for TikTok pros. The right light can improve every shot you take at home for Instagram, and even boost the way you look (and your mood!) when you're on a Zoom call for work. No matter what you use it for, high-quality models are more affordable than ever, like this 2-inch selfie ring light with a 61-inch extendable tripod from TaoTronics.

This selfie ring light and tripod do it all: hold your phone in place for you, illuminate the way you look by showcasing three different color mode options of light, and even come with a handy remote so that you can snap photos or press play on videos without ever having to reach around and touch your phone directly. If you're taking photos of food, items, or just filming your friends, you can also use this as a general camera stand with a light. The light features 10 different brightness levels, and you can adjust your light to work for you and the scene. The three-color modes to choose from include white, warm white, and warm.

This tripod even comes with two different phone holders so you can hold your phone vertically or horizontally, depending on what you're shooting. The rotatable tripod head ensures you'll get the perfect angle and illumination every time. Don't forget about the remote mentioned earlier; it connects seamlessly to Bluetooth, so you can control your phone as you're filming yourself or anything from a distance. You can capture any shot you can think of with this complete selfie light set.

Normally, this TaoTronics dimmable ring light with three different color temperatures retails for $49. But for a limited time, you can save 14 percent off the total retail price. Start taking better pictures and videos without the help of an assistant for just $42.99.
