Questions & Answers

BOB E : I plan to use this for still portraits in the vertical position. Is the plastic shoe strong enough for this or is it likely to break the plastic foot?Douglas B : The foot is plastic, but the nut that attaches to the tripod is metal. I'm sure it would hold up to light use in that position, but the unit is fairly heavy so I would be concerned about heavy use. If you added a bracket that held the unit upright while you are shooting vertically that would be the best plan in my opinion.KIM M : The plastic foot is a little wobbly but I have done it many times and it works quite well .
Shopper : How do you use the light filters?BERNARD C : There are only two light filters enclosed with the unit. One is a frosted light defuser to be use in defuse the harshness of the light falling on objects, especially on portraits. The other is an orange filter used to warm up the objects, ie; portraits, sunset scenes, etc.PAULO C : slide in on the side of the panel, there a slit there, but sometime, I buy gel and I tape it on to get the colors I really wantAlan W : They slide in from the side.Douglas B : Hello, If you hold the light in front of you with the led bulbs facing you, you should have a thin slot on the right side of the housing about 5 mm back from the front. Hold the tab on the filter and slide the filter into the slot. If you are asking how artistically the filters are used, you can you the colored filter to "warm" the light for you image to create a cozy or romantic mood. Use the noncolored filter as a diffuser to "soften" the light such as for portraits to give a more pleasing look to the skin and eliminate harsh shadows that make wrinkles and fine lines look more pronounced. Hope that helpsJeffrey O : I use my light as a static modeling light for my photo booth. The light can be dimmed for the right amount you need and a diffuser lens is also included. I haven't tried to mount it on my camera, but I'm sure that will work just as well for photos and video. I'm satisfied with the evenness it has added to my photos.KENNETH N : The light filters slide through an opening along the short side of the light. Filters are easy to change but stay firmly in the light. There is only room for one filter at a time. 3 filters are included.DAVID A : I don't use the filters at all
BRYAN L : is there an option of not to use continuous light but a flash unit?PAUL A : If you are asking is this unit will also flash, the answer is no. That is the whole point. It is like a light bulb with a dimmer switch. You can see what the light is doing, too hot, not enough, that is the whole point, esp. for video, but I use it on single exposures too. Much easier to see what the light is doing as you change it. Not flash, chimp, flash, chimp. Have fun.RAYMUND Y : No flash option.PAUL G : NOWILLIAM W : No, not to my knowledge. I use the light for both still and motion photographs. I have never run out of battery power but do carry a spare.

Do Not Purchase

Was very disappointed with this purchase as Item arrived but was not complete with a battery and was very hard to find battery for item to operate. I would not recommend this item as it does not come with all the items needed to operate out the box.

Neat Concept

Neat concept, this Flashpoint 126 ... and in a relatively small package compared to the more exotic (and expensive) models I've seen. The attached filters provide for a wide variety of light across the viewable spectrum and the light is evenly spread to minimize shadow effects. Configured and priced for the casual user.

Nice all purpose light

I got this as a backup light in case it was too dark inside for a birthday party. The unit doesn't come with a battery and I suggest also buying a bracket as well. The light puts out a lot of bright light even on the lowest setting- which I liked the dial! A smaller light would have been fine for my purpose, but the Adorama special made it a no brainer buy. As mentioned on other reviews, the plastic attachment is the weakest point and the battery is heave, so don't position it sideways without supporting it or it will snap off. Kudos to Adorama for getting it out and to me during the Christmas rush in 2 days & free shipping!!!!

Sufficient light for most occasions

As advertised the light provided by this is adequate for DSLR use. Before buying however do invest in your favorite rechargeable battery company. This piece of equipment was designed with battery consumption in mind

Good value for money

I really haven't had an opportunity to put this product to the test. But it seems to have good build quality and reallt throws a good amount of light. The real proof will be in the photo results.

Light enough to go anywhere.
Enough light to go everywhere!

Flashpoint's Auto 300 LED with multimedia portable light provides action videographers and still photographers who use DSLR's and HD camcorders with super bright high quality 7140 lux output from a generous 801 spread and the added feature of auto light levels, stereo microphones and signal flash mode.

With superior sleek design, this 'go anywhere' device combines the audio and visual aspects of your shoot. Additional, the adroit LED can sense the needs of the lighting and deliver automatic balance exposure as it passes from one environment to another to provide lightening fast solutions for the 'run and gun' shooters, moving from one lighting situation to the next ambient challenge. Complete manual control of flicker free brightness levels are adjusted by a control dial on the rear featuring digital display, with fine and standard modes. Advanced circuitry maximizes efficient battery use.

The on-board stereo electret condenser microphones are situated on the uppermost corners of the frame, far from camera sounds and minimize the need to cage rig your camera for attaching an external microphone. The sensitive mic delvers clean audio, via the supplied cable, directly to your camera. All this fits comfortably atop the hot shoe of your camera or off-camera via the convenient stand thread. This Auto 300 model offers a clear digital battery power level verification for the ever vigilant with the use of almost any capacity industry standard Sony type lithium battery cells.

Our LED lights provide visually accurate color temperatures, flicker-free output, and no color shift when dimming. When used outdoors, the small, self-contained LED light produces copious fill light to alleviate deep shadows, while blending ambient available light to add modeling to subjects.
With all the exceptional features described above, there is one more added surprise - International SOS Distress Signal function is built into the Flashpoint Auto 300 programming and can use Morse Code to flash "SOS", "Need Help: or Distress Signal Received". We hope you never need it!

This LED marvel real shines in our portable product line, with high output, special unique features and superior sleek design.

The latest LED technology.
Uncompromised light quality.
Unheard of value.

One of the brightest advances in technology is the advent of the light-emitting diode (LED), a two-lead semiconductor light source. When an appropriate voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron 'holes' within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light is determined by the specific energy band gap of the semiconductor.

Impressed yet? No?
LEDs are small, durable and need little power, so they are used in LED strobe lights or continuous camera lights without detrimental heat output, and operate at a safe, low voltage, instead of the 250+ volts commonly found in Xenon strobe tube-based lighting. This is especially useful in lighting for videographers, where space is at a premium and bulky voltage-raising circuitry is undesirable.

Each LED gem glows with exceptional brilliance of light and human genius that old Thomas Edison would have surely appreciated.
