Easy to use
This video light weighs just 123g and has a power cell, rechargeable via a USB-C socket. The light comes with a lead to recharge, a wrist strap and a mount converter allowing it to be clipped onto a cameras hot shoe. The light has a camera screw thread mounting point (for attaching to a tripod) on the top and bottom sides, a magnetic back, a small display and control button/knobs.
As well as providing light of various warmths/intensities the light also has a few special effect options such a flickering flame light. I choose to mount the light on my camera, it worked well and provided a surprisingly strong light. The unit does heat up in use, getting warm but not hot. The control knobs are quite large in comparison with the unit and make it easy to control the light source. The small display provides a reading of the selection made, brightness/type.
In tests I found the light illuminated a standard room size 12x12 foot quite nicely, but to minimise grainy images you will probably want to add additional lighting, as this is really a fill in light and for reasonably close work. The addition of the light effects could be very useful for home movies where you are after creating an atmosphere. light.
I liked the light, it was easy to use, but does not have the RGB range of colours that some similar lights have, for example red flashing light effect.
