Does the job - just a little weak design

A little weak but great for light painting as it can even cast light. The heat filter also comes in handy if you want your shots to have a golden tint. I really don't like the button to open and close the battery compartment. It's tiny, rubs off and gets stuck. It's also difficult to find a knob to control the intensity, and at night when you really need this thing you'll have to slog through to find it. However, it does the job.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Great little light.

Ideal for large rooms. It is fully adjustable to finish. The swivel ball adapter has held up so far, although this can be an issue with rough use. I use old Sony camcorder batteries (I swear they will never die), NP-50 lasts an hour and a big FP 70 lasts 3 hours. It also takes AA batteries, which I haven't tried. It's relatively small and easily fits in my camera bag. A necessary option for my 5D II. When I need to shoot an impromptu video, it's ready to go.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Have used them on a few shoots so far

Love these. What I particularly like is that I can run it on batteries or with a small, cheap and light power supply. (If using a power adapter, make sure it has the correct center pin diameter - some power adapters are designed for a 2.5mm pin and others for a 2.1mm pin.) With a large Sony NP F battery light up these lights work . for several hours before it begins to fade. The color seems good. I am deducting a star because they are not as strong as I would like them to be. I like colored…

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • For old

Great light at an unbeatable price!

Of course there are other inexpensive panels. But this guy is smaller and better color. Don't buy a light just because it has more LEDs. You can't compare them like that. The lamp itself is bright, even in color, compact. Shorter than Flash but slightly wider. Basically, the filters are fine. The fog filter does not remove sharpness and is almost tantamount to not using it. The only good thing this filter can do is hold a few filter leaves in place. The bulb is bright orange in color. In my…

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Security

Worked well for night shots

I knew it was probably fake given the difference in price to what is sold on the F&V website (about $160) but I bought it anyway, based on external data. Reviews. This is my first light panel that I've bought for nightscapes and that's the basis of my review. First, for photographing the Milky Way and capturing a small object (like a tree), this light was too bright, even on the darkest settings. So I couldn't leave it on for the duration of the exposure. But it gave off an even light and was…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Communication with seller
