2. Lowel EGO LED
Make Everything and Everyone Look Better
For some of us, this may be the first time we are reuniting in person with friends and family for a while—so let’s capture all memories in the most perfect and attractive way possible.
Simply put, the EGO LED is designed to make everything look better. Whether you want to capture those perfectly mashed potatoes you've made, or that succulent Turkey you've watched for hours in the oven to make sure it didn’t burn—this soft, diffused, portable tabletop light will do just the trick. Maybe you're staying local this year and tuning into your family or friends' Zoom call, the EGO LED Light can help you to ensure you look your holiday best on camera this year.

3. Blender XL
Reliable At-Home Lighting at Your Fingertips
If you’re hosting Friendsgiving/Thanksgiving at your house or apartment and want another option to capture those photo and video memories in the best lighting possible, then the Blender XL has got you covered.
The Blender XL offers high-quality diffusion lighting that seamlessly blends colors and other light sources no matter the environment. We are also going to let you in on a little secret—the included high-quality diffusion light is usually reserved for much larger studio lights…but shh don’t tell.
It’s also compact so if you decide to go back home last minute, you are able to take it with you when traveling (really you can, it only weighs 2 lbs)! It also has 50,000 hours of bulb light allowing you to use it long after this year’s festivities.

Avoid the Hassle of the Group Selfie & Avoid Cutting Anyone Out of the Shot.
We’ve all been there, so let’s set the stage. It’s the end of your Celebration and it’s time to take the inevitable group photos. You must now figure out (while also in a food coma) who has the longest arm to take a group “selfie” while simultaneously making sure Uncle Ed isn’t cut out of the picture. Or perhaps, nobody has arms long enough so you find yourself creating some sort of contraption out of books or other miscellaneous objects to lean said phone on. Stop what you’re doing.
Avoid this hassle altogether and include the whole family in your photos this year by using the Davis and Sanford Pocket Tripod. It’s portable, lightweight, and accepts all phones/phone cases up to 3.5 inches wide.

Capture Perfect Memories with Family and Friends.
If you want your images of family and friends to be crisp like the fall leaves, a light diffusion filter such as the Black Pro Mist will hide blemishes and will soften skin textures on all generations of family members all while creating a nice soft light.
Or maybe you want to take your group photos outside this year so you can incorporate the beautiful fall foliage in your backyard—a Circular Polarizer or VND Filter will help control the sunlight and improve color saturation in your outdoor photos.
