Customer Reviews

Works well
I don't like using video lights in my productions, but unfortunately they're something that you must turn on when the lights are turned down. I use this light mainly during wedding receptions and the subject never seem to mind. If the lights are turned down pretty low in the room, subjects realize that the light will be spotty. This light also works well and even better as a fill light. What I like most is that gets it power from the camera; however, that means that it will drain your camera's batter faster if the light is left on too long. So it's a good idea to have a one or two extra batteries for your camera. Great light for the price.

just what you'd expect from Canon
Bright enough to improve indoor graininess, but not so strong as to annoy the subject. Light is diffused enough not to put a spot in the center, and lights the entire field of view. For digital, nothing beats good room lighting, but this is a viable option for situations where that is not possible.

Good Little Light
This light is surprisingly small and bright. It will serve my purposes of shooting indoors quite well. I might even have to diffuse it a little so its not so bright. And it is nice theat the light runs off of the camera power through the hot shoe.
