Don’t get me wrong, it’s more than up to the job but it loses its price advantage compared to traditional the best ring lights or even Elgato’s own Key Light Air once you factor in a stand. The balance of power, brightness, and flexibility it offers is unmatched and while it will set you back slightly more than its closest off-brand rivals, you’re certainly getting what you pay for.įor those with a more static setup, the Key Light Mini has less to offer compared to other options.

If you’re creating content on the move or you focus more on things like cooking or craft streams, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better option than the Key Light Mini. Particularly when you consider the $50 / £50 price tag of Elgato’s Master Mount.

It’s worth noting there’s no stand or mount included in the box for the Key Light Mini though. It was marginal though and a slightly uneven playing field and the Mini will do a great job for most streamers.Ĭomparison: Key Light Air on the left, and the Key Light Mini on the right. The Mini is less than half the size of an Air and the larger source area did a better job evenly lighting me. I run the Airs at 30% brightness, so the Mini isn’t necessarily being outgunned on raw power but I felt the dual Airs held the upper hand in overall quality. I tried subbing in a single Key Light Mini in place of my normal stream setup of 2 Elgato Key Light Airs and the Mini performed admirably. Pure daylight is around 5000K so there’s enough scope here for creators to work in most environments, even outdoors. The 2900-7000K colour range is considerably wider than competitor panels and I found this really noticeable at the warmer end of the scale. Using the same double-layer diffusion as the rest of the Key Light range, the Mini provides soft uniform light across an impressively broad field for such a small source.

The edge-lit panel delivers up to 800 lumens and at full beans that’s probably too much for most situations, I was seeing great indoor results with the light as low as 20%.
