Great Value Kit!!

This is a great value Kit for interviews/ portraiture/ ENG and that type of work. The case is extremely robust - you can fit this in an overhead bin, but i have checked it on an airline too and not a mark on it afterwards on a long haul flight. The light itself is very powerful, seems to have a fantastic skin tone/ colour rendering, and really feels nicely made. The box says made in PineWood Film Studios UK, and you can really tell some real thought and care has been put into its construction. The ability to display the colour temperature you are working at is really useful, and the circular shape creates a great catch light thats really pleasing in the talents eye. Love the extra features and special FX modes (fire, lightning etc) but even just as a key or fill light this is fantastic. Comes with some gels and diffusion thats really nice, as well as handy carry case. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic - Highly recommended

I saw this light at NAB 2015, and this is worth every single penny and then some. I saw film guys drooling over this, and just for TLCI and skin tone rendering alone documentary guys, too. Easily 10x better than the cheap $ Chinese lights. Also 3x brighter than most of the $ Chinese lights. (I know, I have an assortment of cheaper lights!) The overall total value floored me, since this does way more than the videos so far show... And they have calibrated the lights so it doesn't bring out the worst in faces, or make dirtiness pop out on objects, and all the other common issues with cheap lights. (Yet $ is honestly cheap for something hand built in the UK!) It actually a very good looking out out, much more like tungsten (except of course you can calibrate to daylight). Just cutting edge in every way. I'm going to buy a few to replace all my current little lights, so people (I shoot mostly interviews so far) and natural things like items will look great without so much work. Also I switched to a gh4 recently, which needs a ton of light, with less green, that the small Chinese lights just don't provide. These little neos pride enough light to run the gh4 at lower ISOs, where Panasonics shine. Doesn't make people look green, either. And lots of red, which is rare for LEDs, so people have a healthy glow instead of looking like vampires, haha.Compared to flashlights, yes, video lights seem more expensive. But their competition are $ Chinese lights, which are inferior in every way. Output alone is equivalent to around a $ light. But the quality of the light is more equivalent to much more expensive lights. And the built in computer that does special effects, light calibration, etc.... You just don't see that anywhere else! Also hand built in England at one of the top film studios in Europe where they film Star Wars, James Bond, etc. This is actually one of the best values I've seen, and the light quality and effects make filming so much easier now.

Powered by 6 x AA, AC, DC or D-Tap, NEO gives Industry leading performance (1077 Lux at 3 feet) whilst providing a gorgeous soft light source and Rotolight's signature Ring-Light' Effect. Dual Controls for both dimming and color make NEO a highly versatile solution for run-and-gun news shooters, filmmakers or still photographers.

Control
Local, with Dynamic Drift Compensation and Thermal Monitoring

Mounting
Integral 1/4" 20 tripod mount
Universal Hot-Shoe Camera adapter mount included

Accu-Color Technology
Overall CRI = 95 & R15 Skintone = 99
TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) = 91 Ideally suited for professional Television use

True Aperture Dimming
NEO features a world's first ground-breaking feature. NEO uses exposure information from the camera (Shutter speed and ISO) plus distance to the subject and data from the light to accurately calculate the correct aperture (F-Stop), whilst also compensating for skin tone contrast. This allows the photographer or cinematographer to work intuitively with the light and no longer need to meter every shot saving valuable time. As you adjust the distance from your subject or the brightness of the NEO, you would simply re-enter the relevant settings and NEO would display the updated recommended aperture accordingly (F-STOP).

Designer Fade Mode
Broadcast Video cameras typically feature an auto-fade button, whereas DSLR cameras do not. NEO for the first time allows DSLR cinematographers to create and design unique custom fade up / fade down production effects for your Video or to seamlessly transition between scenes.

CineSFX
Finally, an arsenal of Cinematographic Special FX (CineSFX), provides customisable creative visual lighting effects, on set or location (Strobe, Lightning, Fire, Cycle, Throb, Police & TV). They are fully customisable and include adjustable Rolling Shutter Compensation' for the stroboscopic effects. An optional 10 piece add on color FX Pack is also available to compliment NEO's CineSFX mode.
