I was able to hook this light into my camera as there is a slot on top that allows me to use different lights for taking pictures. With this light, I was able to fit it inside of that slot and it actually locked into place. The light itself is really easy to use, especially the fact that it's fully rechargeable. Using this light doesn't require much reading up on but I did double check the instructions for it. When using it, just flip the switch on the right side to on and from there you're able to switch the different lights. Once you do choose the light color you're looking for, you can change the dimming setting on it to either be as bright as it can go, dim it to a low haze or just off. This little light produces similar light to some expensive lights that I've purchased over the years for my camera. If you don't want to or can't clip this to your camera, it can be held and is fairly light. The light does fit inside the palm of your hand and not bulky at all. Light weight and can fit inside a pocket if you want but fits inside of my carrying case without taking up much space. Great light for really any type of pictures or even videos.
