Top kits for video production. UPDATED FOR HOLIDAYS 2012. For the best image quality when shooting HD video indoors, you nned to supplement the light. Here are some top kits. For better-looking videos, you need better video lighting.
Manfrotto ML360H Midi-36 is a 36 LED panel with high quality output, 6000deg.K sunlight. This is an evolved and performing light to be mounted on your video SLR camera. It's tailor-made for the new hybrid SLR cameras thanks to the quality of the beam and introduces the hybrid function, switching from a continuous beam to a flash with 4x output compared to the continuous output. In this way your LED panel can provide a continuous light when shooting video but adds also the flash capability for switching to the photo mode. It comes with a ball head mount developed by Manfrotto that allows you to attach the light either on the hot shoe of your camera, on a photo head (3/8" threading), on a light stand (3/8" threading).
Midi features also the "DUO" position, meaning that the light has two different female flash attachments on the body of the light itself - in this way you can attach the light either in vertical or horizontal position; importantly you can also stack more than one Manfrotto LED panel in order to increase the total light output. A backlight LED at 3200deg.K is included in order to light up the camera commands when shooting in darkness. The dimmer in the Midi is an index one (0-100% dimmability).
