Review on Lume Cube Biocolor Mountable LED Light: Professional DSLR Camera Accessory with Panel Go + DSLR Mount, Adjustable Brightness, Intelligent LCD Display, Extended Battery Life, Ideal for Content Creation and Video Shooting - Mount Included by William Santos

Revainrating 3 out of 5

That's uh. - Camera Video Light

I give it to Lume Cube for its great product, ease of use and portability. Where I discredit (3 stars only); 1) Cold Shoe Mount - it's metal and quite nerve wracking to press it against my Sony a7Riv case which I paid a hefty sum of money for. It appears to be a very tight fit and lived in my A6400 SmallRig hotshoe instead. Also, the ball and it's features are pretty crappy, it's like a two dollar mount that doesn't stay on and keeps spinning. I would just stay stationary for much better use. 2) The brightness is ok, in low light and no light it's a great light, but when there's even a hint of sun or cloud you can barely see the light itself. I realize this isn't entirely true, but for my application I'm evaluating it as is. 3) Battery Life - I understand this doesn't last long at full power, but if you're changing the power and temperature multiple times to set up a scene, that alone will eat up most of the battery. Bottom line - I would make every move a pro or buy a couple of minis. If you can't buy a pair of Gos I would go that route.

I loved the size of the light and it is lightweight.
