Great flashlight with good range of accessories

This is a small cube-shaped light source, about an inch and a half square, but very bright. In fact, even at the lowest settings, you probably don't want to look directly at it unless you have the diffuser filter (included). Because of this, it's probably not the best choice for photographing people. But for lighting miniatures, toys and photographic equipment, it is ideal. Without any additional accessories, you get a bright circle of even light with a very slight fringe around the edges that most people won't notice. It is very easy to use with just one button: press to turn on and then press to cycle through the different brightness levels. A domed silicone diffuser is included as an accessory for when you need a soft glow instead of a beam. You also get a nozzle (a cone-shaped thing) that limits the light to a small point, a mesh that narrows the light a bit, a set of color filters, and a couple of little "barn doors" that you can use to cut down on it Light. Area is lit. Also included is a carry case and carabiner for easy portability. You also get a camera shoe mount. All accessories are attached to the front of the lamp with magnets. I only noticed two small flaws. First, the battery indicator is a very small green point of light that is difficult to see. Secondly, a USB cable with a non-standard connector at the other end is used for charging. If you lose these, you will likely have trouble finding a replacement. They include 2 of these cables so you have a spare. These two disadvantages are probably due to the fact that the flashlight has to be waterproof, i.e. the housing has to be completely sealed. The kit does not include a charger or stand, the flashlight has a 1/4-20 thread tripod screw on one side and a shoe on one side. another to which you could attach something of your own, e.g. B. a microphone. They certainly called that right light "cute"! When you put the barn doors on, they look like a miniature version of the old cinema. You can easily mount this light on a drone or RC car as a headlight, it's also great for things like lighting up model trains or photography collectibles. I would say that even with the barn doors the light is photogenic enough to include in the product frame.

Pros
  • 1/4" 20 SCREW HOLE —— 1/4" 20 screw hole in the bottom of the camera light for easy attachment to DSLR, drone, smartphone, gopro action camera, underwater box, custom rigs and more!
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks.
