Pros:
Save your money
Describe Yourself:
Pro Photographer
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Use the right lighting in the first place...namly a couple monologhts on some stands with a wireless and you won't have to worry about needing one of these.

 
makes all the difference
By choochboopVerified Purchaser from spokane,WA on 7/10/2008
Pros:
Consistent, Easy Setup, Lightweight, Reliable
Cons:
Can't get it tight
Best Uses:
Low light focusing
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have had problems with my auto focus not focusing in lower light. This little contraption made all the difference for the auto focus and I'm sure it would help with manually focusing too. very easy to use, goes off automatically so you don't forget and run down the batteries. the only thing I would improve is the "tightening" method, little awkward and hard to get really tight.

 
Ok, I guess...nothing beats a good flash
By SithTracyVerified Purchaser from Trevor, WI on 3/20/2008
Pros:
Consistent, Easy Setup, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Limited indoor use, On camara flash assist, Weddings
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Overall, it's okay. Probably will not get a lot of use. Still, I will keep in in my bag. Nothing beats a hotshoe/slave flash though. Not sure it is worth the money paid for it.

 
Wish I'd had at previous night events
By StanVerified Purchaser from Orlando, FL on 1/21/2008
Pros:
Solves a critical problem
Cons:
Light can get in photos, Mounting options
Best Uses:
Low light settings, Strobe Lighting, Weddings
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have tested light with my camera rig but have not yet needed it at a gig. Wish I'd had it at a couple of weddings, a 50th anniv party, and a sweet 16 party, all indoor with low level ambient lighting, where my Sony DSC-R1 refused to focus or did so slowly or unreliably. This little light worked well in my tests, and now has a home in my bag.

Problems... 1) Needed to mount to cold shoe not tripod socket so I had to rig an adapter. 2) I don't want this light to show in photos when shooting by ambient light or low level strobe, so I will have to power off right before taking each shot.

 
Bright and portable LED lights
By FlooderVerified Purchaser from Dallas, TX on 7/10/2007
Pros:
Easy To Use, Good Interface With Camcorder, Lightweight, Quality Construction
Cons:
Poor Interface , The knob was hard to turn
Best Uses:
Shooting Indoors, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Tech Savvy
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This LED lights will help lighten up the bottom portion of your picture if you take close-up shot often. It make auto focus faster (on my Canon DSLR 30D) in place that is not well lit up. The knob is kinda hard to turn once you get it on there. I found a way to get it on and off quick...just twist the whole unit.
