The Joby Beamo Studio Deluxe Lighting Kit is the perfect lighting solution for vlogs, YouTube videos, and portrait photography. Watch our video review and demo below to see it in action, then read on for a full breakdown of what's in the kit and who it's best suited to.
What's in the Joby Beamo Studio Deluxe Kit?
The Beamo Studio Deluxe Kit is a complete, out-of-the-box lighting solution designed for content creators who want a professional-looking setup without having to piece together individual components. The kit includes:
- Beamo Studio Key Light — the primary bi-colour LED panel for illuminating your subject
- Beamo Studio Background Light — for adding depth and separating your subject from the background
- Two light stands — adjustable and stable for desktop or floor use
- Diffusers — for softening and shaping the light output
- Carry bag — for easy transport and storage
Both lights are bi-colour, adjustable from warm tungsten to cool daylight, and can be controlled independently for precise lighting balance.
Key Features
- Bi-colour LED: Adjustable from 2700K (warm) to 6500K (cool daylight)
- Modular Beamo ecosystem: Expandable with other Beamo lights and accessories
- Compact and portable: Lightweight stands fold down for easy transport
- Diffuser included: Produces soft, flattering light straight out of the box

Who Is It Best For?
The Joby Beamo Studio Deluxe Kit is ideal for:
- YouTube creators setting up a dedicated home studio or desk setup
- Vloggers who want a complete two-light solution without the guesswork
- Streamers and podcasters who need consistent, professional-looking lighting for every session
- Portrait photographers looking for a versatile, compact studio lighting option
If you're just starting out and want a single on-camera light for vlogging on the go, the Joby Beamo Mini is a more portable entry point. The Studio Deluxe Kit is the step up for creators who shoot in a fixed location and want a polished, repeatable look.
Three-Point Lighting with the Beamo Kit
The Beamo Studio Deluxe Kit gives you the foundation for a classic three-point lighting setup. Use the key light as your primary source at roughly 45 degrees to your subject, and the background light to add depth and separate you from the background. Add a reflector or a third light as a fill to complete the setup. For a full guide to three-point lighting technique, see our 4 Essential Vlog Lighting Tips article.
Frequently Asked Questions: Joby Beamo Studio Deluxe Kit
Is the Joby Beamo Studio Deluxe Kit good for YouTube?
Yes — it's one of the best all-in-one lighting kits available for YouTube creators. The combination of a key light and background light gives you immediate control over depth and shadow, and the bi-colour range means you can match any environment. It's particularly well suited to desk-based talking-head content and home studio setups.
Can I use the Beamo Studio Kit for photography?
Absolutely. The soft, bi-colour output is well suited to portrait photography, product photography, and flat-lay content. The diffusers help produce flattering, even light that works just as well for stills as it does for video.
Is the Joby Beamo system expandable?
Yes — the Beamo ecosystem is modular. You can add additional lights such as the Beamo Mini, Beamo Studio Background Light, or Beamo REEL ColorLight as your setup grows.
What is the colour temperature range of the Beamo Studio lights?
Both lights in the kit are bi-colour, adjustable from 2700K (warm tungsten) to 6500K (cool daylight). This gives you the flexibility to match your lighting to any environment and avoid unwanted colour casts in your footage.
How does the Beamo Studio Kit compare to a ring light?
Ring lights produce a distinctive circular catchlight and even, shadow-free illumination — great for beauty and close-up content. The Beamo Studio Kit gives you more control over light direction and depth, making it better suited to a wider range of content styles. See our Ring Light vs. Softbox guide for a full comparison of lighting styles.
