Reddit mentions of Neewer CN-126 LED Video Light for Camera or Digital Video Camcorder

Sure, it's pretty straight forward.


I used this L Bracket
to mount this
Gimbal. For lighting up my dark house/living room, this
LED Light works great. It's very bright.

To mount my old iPhone 4s as a monitor, I used a couple of these and a cheap iPhone case.

This produces very stable videos that turn out great for indoor parties, Christmas morning, etc. The WG gimbal mounts easily on my moutain bike or helmet as well, it's very flexible.

Awesome write-up!

My favorite macro photography tool is a cheapo LED light I got on Amazon. It adjusts from dim to pretty darn bright and, especially with the included plastic pieces, is diffuse enough to not end up harsh like an on-camera flash.

Here is an example of the results - this photo was taken using a NEX-5 on 2-second timer on a tripod, an old FD-mount 50mm macro lens on an adapter, and said LED light, no other gear necessary (and no post). I missed focus a wee bit since I was shooting pretty wide open and my wrist moved while the timer was running, but it turned out pretty nice anyway.

Are you shooting video or stills? If it's video, you can get a basic LED video light kit for your DSLR for less than 30 bucks. It will give you much better results than a single LED. You can make something like this for even cheaper if you can solder.

If it's stills, you can get a 3rd-party dedicated flash for 40-50 bucks. Again, it will way out perform a single LED.

That LED video lamp trick worked really well! I'm going to have to give that a shot. Which one do you have? I use this:
