" ... id recommend rechargeable batteries you will need 6 for use as well as 6 for back up the light dies in 3-4 hours of full blast use. ... "
" ... It uses AA batteries and has great battery life. ... "
" ... Battery life it pretty good depending on what you're doing. ... I always carry extra batteries on me, especially if i'm on set. ... "
" ... The batteries are a must. ... "
" ... I like the fact that it uses the same batteries as the camera. ... "
" ... Here's the good stuff about it: it uses the 7.2v Sony NP-FM series batteries, or AA batteries, your choice. ... The back is open, so you can use the normal packs, or the extended ones (the double sized NP that last twice as long). ... "
" ... The Neewer combination of lights and battery pack solution was a good choice. ... Or the battery pack for the Neewer 160 LED light you already own! ... "

" ... 20171026: great light. ... "
" ... I bought this to use in place of a flash at wedding receptions, and I can see the advantages: it's constant light, it's bright, you can gel it and diffuse it simply with the golden insert that it comes with, and the dimmable aspect is amazing. ... One more thing is that, while constant light is convenient for me, I try to be pretty unassuming at weddings, and I feel like I'd have a harder time doing that with a literal spotlight atop my camera. ... "
" ... really good lighting ... "

" ... Very bright and allows for great indoor lighting when shooting product photography. ... "
" ... Even just using one attached to your rig or the top of your camera is enough to give your photos/videos a very professional look before even hitting any editing software. ... "
" ... A solid deal for someone needing a very inexpensive on-camera light. ... "
" ... This is a great addition to a video camera. ... We use it on a Sony 4K camcorder, it also helps taking still pictures with the camcorder indoors. ... I like the fact that it uses the same batteries as the camera. ... "
" ... Great light for photography! ... Tested out with some indoor photos and it worked excellent. ... "
" ... I use it for shooting video with my DSLR. ... "
" ... Works very well with my Canon XA-20 camcorder. ... "

" ... It is really bulky and flimsy ... "
" ... So plastic is cheaper than other lights out there. ... "
" ... Very bad quality plastic, like mega bloks ... "
" ... While those are pretty flimsy, they don't need to be particularly strong to hold up these tiny lights, so these lights in combination with those stands provide a very inexpensive but versatile solution. ... One thing you need to consider is the plastic hinge is really flimsy and actually broke on one of mine. ... Tightening the angle adjustment knob will lock it in place, but it's also cheap plastic and doesn't hold its position very well if you use a heavier battery such as the Sony NP-F970. ... "
" ... Don't like the look or the shape. ... "
" ... Just needs to cut the plastic mount and change it to metal that mount will break eventually. ... "
" ... My plastic piece arrived broken and missing the metal piece that allows the screw to stay in place, making this light absolutely worthless to me. ... "
" ... the very bottom mechanism that clasps into camera is a flimsy piece of plastic that broke very quickly. ... "

" ... What's convenient is it has not only a hot shoe mount so you can stick it right on the camera, but the bottom of the hot shoe has a 1/4"-20 thread so you can mount it on a tripod or a light stand if your stands have 1/4"-20 screws on them (the ones I had at the time didn't, so I had to buy some 5/8" stud adapters). ... "
" ... Came in great condition, fits the description to the T ... "
" ... Fits in the hotshoe mount on the camera and tightens down. ... "
" ... Able to attach to Camera, Tripod, anything with a shoe mount. ... "
" ... It's small but strong! ... "
" ... The battery pack DOES sit securely in the back when attached properly. ... "
" ... This light can be mounted on my camera's hot shoe or screw mounted onto a standard tripod. ... "
" ... It does have the hot shoe mount, so it will fit on most DSLR's, stabilizers, and tripods. ... The mount slips in and you can adjust the tightness with a little screw. ... "

" ... Awesome addition to any amateur or professional photographers camera bag. ... "
" ... I attach this to the L Bracket I bought for my Canon Camcorder. ... "
" ... I use it for indoor fish photography and it worked great in combination with an off shoe flash. ... "
" ... Filters and pouch are a great add on. ... "
" ... My camera rig consisted of a Canon 70D mounted to an Opteka X-GRIP, which is basically just a simple, foam-handled camera grip. ... "
" ... A little weird having to pack 6 AAs but for the price lights really well and adjust-ability of the dimmer and the difuser lenses in my mind make it a great value. ... "
