What are you using for in the field continuous lighting?

5 years 2 months ago #628202 by Janet Schlage
I was just posting another question about the Acute D4 Ringlights.  So lately I have been hot and heavy into researching lighting.  In studio seems to have much easier answers.  However for those shoots that are in the field and for example need continuous lights.  What are you using?  

I want to start researching these and see if I can find a decent deal. 


Thanks everyone.

Janet

Not a fan of ring lights. I just use ordinary video LED lights.

Can you plug in an external power source into either of these for longer play?

I built an on location kit made of high power LEDs
and a generator. Used to illuminate the shoot when
flashes are needed or as main source as well.

Light is free… capturing it is not!
