Getting started
Step 1: Position the tripod

Screw the LED ring light onto the supplied ball head and attach it to the tripod.
The ring light is supplied with power using the supplied USB cable.

Using the App to change the green screen background
There are many apps available for both Android, in the Google PlayStore and iPhone in the App Store, which allow you to replace the green screen in your video with a different background.
We would like to show you the CHROMAVID app as an example of how it works.
The CHROMAVID app is available in the PlayStore for Android Smartphones as well the Apple App Store for iPhones.
1. Stand in front of the green screen and the app will automatically change to the green colour background.
2. Select and confirm your favorite background in the app or in your recordings.
Done! Now you can record the video with your own background.
ATTENTION: The CHROMAVID App is free of charge.
There is also a paid version available.
Please be aware of using apps that require or facilitate in-app purchases.
An example of more advanced video editing apps that allow you to change the green screen in your video are iMOVIE for iOS or KINEMASTER for Android.
Manufacturer’s friendly advice to parents on best practise when considering online safety.
Many social media apps that contain chats or communities have an age limit.
We recommend that young peoples use of social media apps is always supervised by an adult:
• Set up the account together with your child and make sure you have the right security settings applied and saved. Accompany your child through the first steps by previewing the videos your child uploads. Also look at the comments on the videos and discuss them with your child.
• Ask your child which media he or she likes to use, which apps and platforms are popular with friends and school classes.
• Agree on rules of conduct for the apps and usage times that suit your family's everyday routine. There should also be clear agreements about when the smartphone needs to be turned off.
• Watch your child. If something seems strange to you, speak to them about your concerns and assumptions.
• Always protect your children from inappropriate content.
• Make sure that your child never discloses any personal information.
• Be aware of hidden costs.
• In principle, all apps can make "in-app purchases" possible.
• Downloading protected content can lead to copyright infringement and is punishable by law.
• Cyberbullying:
The simple and vast distribution possibilities of the Internet, apparent anonymity and the habit of immediately sharing funny or embarrassing content with friends can become a danger if it is used by others for bullying purposes.
Make it clear to your child that sharing pictures, text or comments is not fun and can make others unhappy.
Make them understand that you should think first, then press the forward button - and that you can distance yourself from offensive content.
• The first rule of the internet is: The net forgets nothing!
Limited visibility or limited time content does not disappear.
What was once online can often be retrieved later and screenshots can be taken quickly.
Even deleted texts and photos or deactivated websites can be found via the cache of search engines or via
Internet archives. Therefore, think before you post. That applies to children as well as to adults.
