LED flashlight (torch light) as cheap video light
(1) My camera (Canon S2 IS) doesn't come with a shoe. It can take very good video in good light conditions, but the quality deteriorates quickly with the light. (2) My camcorder doesn't have builti-in video light, but came with a shoe. Most external video lights are expensive and cheap ones take several hours to charge and produce only a few minutes of light. I wanted to experiment with small and cheap LED flashlights and see how they might work as video lights. I found this 9 LED flashlight on Amazon for $5 with conditional free shipping: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LIOPTS I used this flashlight and took a short video using my digital camera in low light conditions. I have posted the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9vZAcjDWcY Please note that I am not making any recommendations. I am just posting my observations for the benefit of others who may be thinking the way I was. I am sure an external video light with its own stand would be much better option. This particular flashlight is small enought to fit in my camera bag along with the other portable accessories such as a small tripod, lens cleaning kit, spare batteries, and memory cards that I always carry. I am now trying to figure out how to mount a foot (tongue?) to this flashlight so I can use it in my camcorder's shoe without having to hold it in my hand. |

I got a 67 LED headlamp at http://www.dealextreme.com/ for $9.34. VERY
BRIGHT! Works good as a video light and synchronizes directly with your brain for special lighting effects. NM wrote in message ... (1) My camera (Canon S2 IS) doesn't come with a shoe.

With my older JVC camcorder it covers the entire wide angle area but the central part is much brighter. A little bit of zoom evens it out. Its not the perfect video light but, the price is right.

I've bought a bunch of these 9 led lights for give-aways at the office and found that about 1 out of 10 are dead and not fixable. Some require a little fiddling to get working. $2.50 each delivered is hard to believe but true. I don't understand the economics of slave labor I suppose. |

How the hell do they do it? in the dollar shop I bought for $1 a repair kit for fixing eye-glasses. The nice looking folding box contains 3 mini screwdrivers, various screws and nosepads and a magnifying lens. |
