Great LED lights, works well mounted to stabilizing rig and powering with 4 AA batteries is great. No recharging before the shoot and the LED light covers a wide swath of light in from of me.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint VL-18, Battery Operated 18 LED Video Light with Shoe Mount & Bracket:

Easy to use, Although it didn't come with instructions. A bit interesting figuring out the mounting supports at first but once seeing the mechanisms function, very easy to handle.

I wish this came in even numbered battery slots, easier to have rechargeables like that vs. odd. But it's still functional.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint VL-18, Battery Operated 18 LED Video Light with Shoe Mount & Bracket:

I use this primarily for Macro photography. Although it can be attached to the camera shoe, I prefer to hand hold to get the light in exactly the right angle.

I have also used this for fill light both indoors and outdoors. I wish that there was more of a range for adjusting the light intensity but can compensate somewhat buy moving the light source.
