Questions & Answers

Jan R : Does this gizmo work with Fujifilm XH-1?RANDY M : If you have the correct cable to link it to the fuji. There is a 5mm socket on the back of the Rotolight that the cable plugs into and links the Fuji.
BRIAN W : Will the light work with a Flashpoint r2 receiver?Dan H : Yes, I fire mine with the Godox X1r.RODNEY G : It will only natively work with the Elinchrome transmitter... you could however just use with any receiver through the sync port. There is a video on YouTube of people using it with the godox receiver and it working just fine ... so since the flashpoint is essentially the same thing I would presume it would work.LARRY S : Only with transmitter and receiver. I use the flashpoint r2 with my rotolight and it works great so far.CESAR G : I believe you can but just to trigger wirelessly. You still have to do all adjustment on the Neo II. Not sure if you can trigger with HSS. Just to let you know I do not use the r2 receiver. I use Cactus V6 transceivers and works fine including HSS.WALLACE R : I have not used it with an R2, but believe it will. I think you have a 30 day return option.Michael S : It works well. Just don't expect it to have the power of your speedlite. For it's size and compared to other LED lights, it's very good - maybe the best one out there - but that I don't know. One thing I noticed is that when you put it in FLASH mode, the maximum modelling light drops down (as compared to the strait Light mode). I believe based on observation, that when you trigger the flash, all it's doing is momentarily giving you the maximum light level that you'd get by just keeping it in normal light mode. It's useful if you're trying not to blind your subjects with a continual high output light but again, I found myself even with 24mm, 1/30th and f2.8 having to UP the ISO considerably to balance the shot.DENNIS A : I think not. You have to get theirs.
JAN G : Can re-chargeable batteries in the NEO 2 be re-charged while in the NEO 2 using the AC adapter..........like charging in-camera batteries with the adapter?PETER D : I have not tried it, but I doubt it. The DC adapter disables the batteries and it would require some charging hardware that would make it heavier and bigger. I use AA NiCad.JOHN W : I would recommend having two sets and charge outside the unit Just meRANDY M : I have not tried to do that. I bought a charger with the batteries and an extra set to use while the first set is charging.STUART W : No ... Batteries need to be recharged in a stand alone charger made for the high capacity AA rechargeable.Timothy R : No. You have to recharge the rechargeable batteries with an normal battery AA charger

Used once.

I bought this in hopes to add to my lighting capabilities for events, but I've used it just once and put it back in the box. The hype was way more than what it can do.

Wonderful light source for close up and small subjects

Summary. Great light source for close subjects and fill light in low light level situations. I use it shoot kittens playing in the garden area and the results are wonderful, in my opinion. No temp correction required in post, good out of the box. Simple to use with a table top tripod, lightweight and easy to use and transport. So good, this is my second one, my first is the Neo first gen. The only difference is this one puts out a little more light. Both are a good value.

Incredible light tool in a small package!

The Rotolight Neo II is a very versatile light for all types of photo and video work. As a portrait photographer, I find it to indispensable for on location portraits. The ability to control the power and color temp from the Skyport transmitter make it extremely convenient. The HSS flash mode yields awesome results.

First Impression

When i first opened the bag i was very impressed. I did test it out and i love it. Hoping to use at a wedding reception due to the lighting being very low light. Hope to buy more Roto lights in the future.

Light you need for changing kelvin

This light has a good light and super light. Where this light really works is changing the light temperatures. I really enjoy having battery power or DC plug in based on the shoot. As for the speed of the flash can keep up with most cameras buffers. We also use this light for fill lighting and works fantastic. Word of note this light for a flash doesn't have power of some of those strobe have.

As bright as they say!

This light is certainly bright, and emits a soft and desirable light on subjects. The added features for strobing and special effects like lightning and fire are such a cool feature as well, definitely a must for any kit in my opinion! Will probably buy another one later on!

Great Light for photography

I've seen so many video's on the Neo II that I had to have one to try it for my self. Well it worked just like Jason Lainer said it would and my photographs have turned out great. It lasts and lasts with just the 6 AA rechargeable batteries and never misses a shot. I'd say that as a modeling light this is almost as good if not better than a stand a lone modeling light. It does everything that a photographer would want done. It's great.

Just as described.

It was just as described. No remote control which somewhat limits its usefulness to on camera. It didn’t ship out on the day I ordered it, so before it arrive I found a better alternative, and returned the Rotolight.

Very pleased with my purchase. Great light for portrait, weddings and events. Skin tones look spot on in camera, the light is soft and easy to use. Easy to control, and nice to have the options of diffusers if I want them. Not heavy, this is now one of the go-to options in my bag.

Disappointed

In my opinion Its not really for serious pro photographers.... maybe it’s ok for video usage. and it’s also not the best for beginners.... if your in between and on a budget then I say just get the best used mono lights as they have more power and less confusing. I personally returned mine the day I received it. The rotolight is a great concept but it wasn’t for me.

i took it to 10-day Hawaii driving trip

it works well in dawn at the Haleakala summit for sunrise portrait, modeling light or flash, as it illuminates the skin well. With wide angle lens and a close distance of model in front of the camera, the illuminating benefit on skin is real. Naturally? in jungle and cave, this light also shines. With different gel filter as provided, skin shows better than i expected. with the provided pouch attached to my belt, this is very portable. The benefit achieve its optimal point for dawn and dusk photograph, somehow in cloudy island time as it could NOT overcome the harsh sun light when facing the sun directly. For indoor lighting photo, it should be a plus for sure. i recommend it for easy travel as it's more versatile than old fashion flash. i used it with a cord off a $5 PC adapter to make the remote control obsolete as i can hold the handle to mount it to a L shaped handled to the tripod mount,

Fantastic light

By Mikey

Well I had my first model shoot with the Neo 2 this evening and Im very impressed indeed !!! The throw of quality light is great & the warmth of light was brilliant in the dreary early evening. Being able to adjust the white balance in both flash mode and continuous mode if great, as i was able to match the lovely glow of light from the sunset very well. There is no longer any need to no more lug around about huge big soft boxes & strobes & heavy light stands, Neo 2 is a winner. I cant wait t...
