I thought this light was a great idea until I tried it. It FLASHES randomly no matter what I do. This makes it completely unsuitable for filming. It also makes very loud noises on most settings. So if you're recording audio, you're out of luck. I wrote a message to the seller asking if this is normal but they never replied to me. The light is unusable and the seller does not support their customers or goods. Very disappointing. This is the regular version of Flashpoint Reporter (my favorite flashlight, sturdy, reliable, always works great). Can't even be compared to the original.
