Every CosmoGlo Light 💡order includes a free CosmoGlo Phone Clip! Check out this guide to see how CosmoGlo’s easy to use, hands‑free media clip can improve the consistency and quality of your social media content, shave valuable time off of appointments, all while giving accessible phone access for busy beauty professionals.
Rubber Safety Bands ‑ secures most devices
The CosmoGlo phone clip comes with two easily replaceable and adjustable safety bands. These durable, stretchy bands allow different sized phones to be secured to the clip without holding your calls, text messages or appointment notes hostage.
Sleek & Minimalistic ‑ even for your clients
Weighing less than 6 ounces, our flat, clip‑on style phone holder was designed to not only do the job, but to look good while doing it! Clients see a simple, sleek extension of the light ‑ not a clunky clamp you have to pry open.
Record your work!
Use this media clip to record all content of your work on clients! Take well‑lit before and after photos, record a timelapse of your favorite service, post a live, or simply streamline your social media with beautiful, consistently photographed images, videos, and more!
Streamline the Editing Process
Our content clip secures to the center of your halo and allows you to maintain consistent angles every time you film! So if you ever have to take a break from recording, you can always start right where you left off, making the editing process super simple.
Vertical Content ‑ TikToks + Reels
Remove the two Safety Bands and place them in opposite direction to capture vertical content. This filming direction is great for creating fun TikToks, informative reels, and highlights or story posts!
Aftercare Videos ‑ or True Crime!
Does your service have a processing period? Utilize those valuable minutes to provide a next‑level service for your clients: play them an aftercare video while you wait! Simply attach your phone on the underside of the flat media clip, and secure with the Safety Bands. With the screen facing downwards, educate your client on their new services with a curated aftercare video, or keep it chill by watching videos on YouTube, listening to a podcast, or bond over your favorite true crime episodes!
Multipurpose! Use for other attachments.
Do you provide aromatherapy during your services? Attach a cloth to the bottom of your clip and add a few drops of your favorite essential oils! Give clients a direct line of scent, enhanced with steaming services, since the light is positioned directly above the face.
Seeing Lines in your photos/videos? We got you, and it's an easy fix!
First, we highly recommend checking out this awesome reel by Vaudelashes on Instagram. It will help you get a visual of the issue, learn how phone camera refresh rates work, and how LED flicker rates affect light when taking pictures or videos using the CosmoGlo.
How it works
- Light Banding: grey or wavy lines that may appear on your photos and/or videos during filming
- Rolling Shutter: the process by which new, high-speed digital cameras take photos. Images are built by capturing each individual, pixelated line one vertical column at a time.
- FPS: Stands for "Frames Per Second," or how many individual lines are captured by the camera lens per second
- LED Flicker Rates: CosmoGlo uses LEDs that flicker on and off at an extremely fast rate. It's so fast that your eye can't physically even see it happening. This is also why the CosmoGlo is dimmable: the extremely fast flicker rate can be sped up or slowed down with your dimmer knob, thus increasing or decreasing the amount of power/light emitted!
Light Banding is caused when the speed of a digital camera's Rolling Shutter is not lining up with the speed at which your LEDs flicker.
- Light banding can be captured when using high-speed cameras like the ones in our phones because of how that image is digitally captured. The rate/speed at which the LED flickers sometimes may not be in sync with the frame rate of your Rolling Shutter.
- What happens is the camera ends up capturing a "line" when it snaps images at a different speed than the LED lights are emit light waves. It essentially builds a photo from snapshots and some of those frames per second catch the moments where the LEDs are flickering dimmer, then brighter, then dimmer, thus creating the lines.
What do I do to fix it?
- Rolling shutter capture happens extremely quickly, but not fast enough to avoid the light changes your LED light goes through moment to moment when flickering!
- Thankfully, digital cameras usually have 30 or 60 frames per second or "FPS" option, or sometimes a manual FPS option.
- It's usually quickly adjustable in your camera's settings using tricks like changing the exposure, as seen in Vaude's Reel!
