Well I've had this thing for a few months now. I finally experienced that in an indie film I made for college. Illuminating objects up close can be tricky in tight spaces, and of course that's down to your DSLR. Light output A+. As this is a light this is a really long and short review but I noticed a couple of things that I want to point out. heavier. That means your tripod mount needs to be able to support that weight. Gorrilapods and other small tripods won't work, and if you have an inexpensive tripod (a larger one), you'll need to put it on a sandbag (weigh it) to keep the camera from falling. So the idea of a lightweight LED flashlight with a HUGE flash of light is great for close-ups, but when you add a decent-sized battery it gets a little unwieldy. I wouldn't recommend it for mobile use. Also, the angled handle (I have no idea what it's called - a ball mount?) is a bit sketchy. Made cheap. It works, but you really have to screw it down, but not so tight that you pull the threads or break the handle. That's why I don't give a full 5*. It's worth it though, just be aware upfront that weight is a real factor when you're on set.
