I hadn't realised the light was being shipped from China so it took over 2 weeks to arrive. The instructions were not great so it took a while to figure out how to assemble the light and how to use it... See more

Good solid, heavy unit that doesn't take up too much space on my desk and packs away nicely. My last light needed to be gaffa taped to my desk to stop it falling over, so this is a real treat to use.... See more

Liighting is questionable as it leaves…

Liighting is questionable as it leaves shadows. I thought this would solve those issues but it does not. There aren’t really any directions stating how best to use so am winging it and not too happy with results, still need another light source. Also, the Packaging was absolutely terrible.

Rally brilliant device

Rally nice device. Specially for someone working alone. It is sturdy it is reliable, its super compact and with a intelligent design, it enables me to take much better pics without the shadow of myself behind on top of the product. Definitely recommend it.

Great customer service

Great customer service, I ordered the background bundle and didn’t realise the stand was included so had added this separately. Got an email from James to ask if I needed both stands, which I didn’t so money was refunded and order updated, which was great. Regular delivery updates and fast delivery. This is my second order from Hey Paparazzo due to excellent service and products.

Fragile

I received Olivia after about 2 weeks, which was as expected. The device itself is very fragile, if you ‘assemble’ it as shown in the video you will quickly end up breaking it, so it needs a delicate touch … but it is working.

Hi Peggy, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to know the walkthrough video helped. First time users may struggle with the correct set up for the overhead and the video just make it easier to demonstrate how to do it. Thank you for purchasing Olivia!

What a clever device! This is so much better than the others I’ve tried. I love how it stores in its own base box.

Very sturdy & great quality!

Very sturdy product, gives me the perfect angle to film my "work in progress" art projects. Absolutely recommend! I have a heavy phone and it didn't topple over, definitely what I was looking for, to replace the flimsy gooseneck stands.

Olivia

I purchased this after seeing it on Instagram. It’s not suitable for taking pictures of my artwork as my iPhone is not! perfect horizontal and never exactly above my drawing. This could be solved if the foot could be turned away, which isn’t possible. The light isn’t strong enough, you need extra daylight lamps. The batteries have to reload every few hours. So No! Not satisfied at all

Broken Light Buttons

Bought the Olivia phone holder. delays on the delivery. Arrived with a light button broken and not working. Great Customer Service managed to send me a new one with no cost. The second one arrived with the same broken light button as well.
