• It's a Sony Video Light For Prosumer Level
  This Light is one of the little Hidden Gems by Sony The Light is actually made for the Professional and Prosumer Video Camera not,I repeat not for the average consumer. Unfortunately it is advertised in the consumer level.
  Like competitive Video Lights By Canon for the XL-2 it does not come with a battery or power supply (another trait found on similar Pro Level Gear). The type of battery this light works best with is the L series (NP-F570 for 10 Watt mode and NP-F770 & NP-F970 for 20 Watt mode for... more info

• Good for Close Up Portraiture
  I'm a professional photographer and videographer, and this light is useful within its limitations.

  Also, the light sits too high above the lens to illuminate subjects closer than 5 feet when mounted on my Sony VX 2100 camcorder. I found it necessary to remove the light from the camcorder mount and hold it at a lower... more info

• Great little light.
  I got this light to go with my full rig I use for wedding videography. Some of the lights out these are soooo expensive but I saw a lot of good reviews for this light and thought I would give it a go. Here are the goods and the bads.
  Goods - Works with the batteries that go to my PD150 camera so no need for silly looking belt battery pack or extra batteries. It comes with a 10w or 20w setting. So far it has also proven itself to be durable. Not that I am clumsy but I have dropped it twice and it... more info
