W96 LED Light

  • @htinla How is it on fair skin? Out of interest - because my photos / videos taken using my LEDs as a sole light source are a bit unkind to complexions.
  • This is a very good light. I have the earlier version Z96 which cost more than this and didn't have the charge indicator, so the W96 is a super deal for its price.

  • Jules you might want to look into getting a couple of china balls.
  • I have two of them, my unboxing (not as above but similar Z96)

    have not used them for any footage yet ...
  • Don't know these lights but I have a square 64-led hotshoe light and it's really useful and bright. I'd say just get one you like the look of. They're cheap enough. The only minus point of my led light (and probably most of them) is they lack a bit of red, so even though they produce a white light (to the eye /camera), fair skin can look a bit blotchy. Fantastic though for quick photography of objects, or for trying out lighting positions before rigging "real" lighting.

    I'd also be interested if anyone's used the W96 (or any other portable led) and has found it good on "white" skin tones.
  • Was looking at the w96 earlier...

    Am completely new to LED lights for video (or anything :)). But as a casual 'videographer' at the start of the learning curve i would like something to have for my GH17 to aid in indoor shooting. My question is, would 1 W96 be enough to supplement average indoor lighting to produce good video? I'd be able to set something up statically from time to time, but honestly most of the time i'd just like something on the hotshoe, something very portable.

    how would this compare to the 14W LED in the other recent post?

    Talk to him :-)
    As I understand price is based on Z96 4Pcs kits that have higher prices.
  • The $15 shipping cost for one light is reasonable, but the cost for a set of 4 lights is $84. I'd expect combined shipping to cost less rather than more...
  • >Hopefully, cheaper shipping can be found.

    What do you mean here?
    Shipping seems pretty reasonable.
  • Hopefully, cheaper shipping can be found.
