    Bright Enough for Most Video

    posted by ExtremeFlyer on 02/25/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Used mainly for video work. Four NiMH AA cells fully charged lasts about 5 hours of shooting. Very lightweight. Mounting harness can fit most camcorders.
    Cons:
    Limited brightness - better than no added light at all. Will end up using auto or low-light setting on Camcorder anyways if yo...

    Good light

    posted by missrobine on 02/15/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    This is a great light! I was looking for a continuous light to use in a softbox for photography. My criterias were that it needed to be small and not to get too hot as some lights tend to do. I'm very please with this light!
    Cons:
    The door to put the batteries in on the back of the light is a bit hard to open, but considering that I won't have to do it oft...

    The LED lamp is highly efficient

    posted by alfafenixmx on 02/09/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    High benefit cost - performance based on a semi-flash The attachment of the base makes it highly usable for video and photo cameras. Provides the necessary illumination in a short range of 5 meters Versatile use either combined with other LED lamp or with t...

    Requires use of AAA batteries which represents an additional cost. The extra weight when mounting it on the computer to which y...

    Light weight and very practical/variable device

    posted by shady88 on 02/07/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    It's a great device. The diffusion is nicely applied, but mainly the way of handeling and changing the device to apply on your camera. You can spin the flash to sides where you want to place it. you have the ability to actually create a bright light or less...
    Cons:
    It works on battaries (not included) and not on a chargable accu.

    Nice lightning for home videos

    posted by vmastache on 01/14/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Excelent amount of light (much more than I expected). Maybe too much because it can get anoying after a while (but this can't be a CON, we buy this because we need more light).
    Cons:
    The hot shoe is made of plastic and, to be honest, it feels like it will break easy. I really recommend buying this light alon...

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Very light and energy saver, the charged batteries last much longer than expected and the diference between the recording with this light and without it is noticeable, the colors from footage from my handycam are much brighter end defined.
    Cons:
    The knobs for switching it on and off should be of a different color because under dim light we have to use the touch to find i...
