...a new toy for my video capture. :roundel

209 LEDs of pure brightness that could aid in burnt ZKW bowls.

A magnetic diffuser...

It comes with a hotshoe mount to make my micro 4/3's camera look like a mini Frankenstein. Notice the two separate colours of LED columns?

That dual colour LED setup allows the array to adjust colour temperature to any light source and the other knob dims from 10%-100%. The battery is a Sony camcorder battery easily found on eBay for cheap cheap cheap and gives me 2 hours of full brightness light. The kit comes with a battery charger with an AC adapter and 12v adapter along with a case that fits everything nicely into place:

This picture shows mounting brackets on either side of the light to piggy back and make an even larger lighting panel up to 2x2:

And now off to film at several Audi dealerships throughout the country this week! This thing is one little bright light!

That's pretty spiffy! If you don't mind me asking though, which micro 4/3 camera do you use?

with the stock F3.5-F5.9 14mm-42mm zoom lens. (Double the numbers for equivalent full frame mm)

...matched with this lens for most of my video/photos which is my favourite lens because of it's shallow depth of field:

It makes running through airports so easy! No big camera bag. I can fit my Macbook 15" with all it's accessories and my camera into my laptop bag!
