I've used the Ultralight in my tv news days as well as commercial production shoots. Light is well made and can be relied upon in almost any low light situation. This was from Adorama was rated E+ and it was in pristine condition when I got it. You could not tell it was used. Perfect shape! Virtually brand new

UL2-20. Ultralight 2 camera mounted light with integral 20" PowerTap cable. Fits most one piece camcorders. Comes standard with diffused glass.
The Anton/Bauer ULTRALIGHT is the first and only camera mounted light designed specifically to work with any available light to create truly studio quality images. Virtually all interior locations are lit totally from above which creates objectionable shadows on the foreground subjects making it impossible toachieve professional quality video.
Studio lighting, on the other hand, is a careful blend of light from above and light from the front that eliminates theseshadows. The unique and innovative design features of the Ultralight create studio quality images under virtually all available light conditions. Equally impressive to the cameraman, the Ultralight achieves this vast improvement in visual quality without adding any perceptible weight, bulk, or external cables.
The Ultralight 2 is designed specifically for camera mounting. This compact super-lightweight (only 10 oz.) version of the Anton/Bauer Ultralight system shares many of the features and accessories of the original Ultralight. A patented universal mounting system for 1/4-20 or shoe-type mounting is standard - eliminating the need for special studs or adapters.
With the head module removed, the Ultralight 2 can be folded into itself like a pocket knife and practically disappears into the camera handle. Thus, unlike any other light, the Ultralight 2 can remain mounted and connected to the camera at all times, even when the camera is in the case.
The integral PowerTap cable plugs directly into the PowerTap receptacle on all Gold Mounts and is available in three lengths as indicated below. The Ultralight2 comes complete with universal mounting system, one head module, one BAB bulb (25 watt Flood), and integral PowerTap cable. Follow steps in Build a Battery System to identify the proper cable length for your camera.
Changing bulbs in the Ultralight system is as easy as rocking the light head forward and up to remove head module. A different head module with another type bulb can be mounted. (Always remove the light head to change the bulbs.)
