Camcorder Light Review:
VIDLED DayLED-40 On-camera Light (page 2)
Run 'n' Gun
If you need a light like this, then you're not always in the studio. I was impressed with the durability of this light, even more than with its compactness. The company promised it was tough, so I rapped it on the table and the floor a few times. Not so much as a flicker.
This light should appeal to a lot of videographers who want a simple, dependable tool for a reasonable price. And you can get it in stylish black for an extra 25 bucks.
