DIY: How to Build a Custom LED Light Rig for Your iPhone

Finding a good lighting rig for the iPhone can be a complicated task, however if you feel like a bit of DIY project, then this one might be for you.

DIYPhotography has put together a neat guide showing you how to build your own iPhone LED lighting rig with a camping light and some Velcro.

The trickiest part of this would appear to be sourcing the light itself – you need a pretty specific kind, round with LEDs and after that it’s basically a case of sticking it to your iPhone (for this you’ll need a case you don’t need).

Nevertheless, it’s definitely a big help if you use your iPhone as your main camera, so I’d recommend trying it if you struggle with lighting in your videos or photos.
