Hey guys - can anyone recommend a video light or something similar that will fit on a hot shoe that would be useful for helping light dar wedding reception exits? I have a Lowell ID light, & it's ok, but I really want to try to find something that I don't have to set up on a stand (& risk a drunk or unawares guest tipping over). I assisted a photographer Sat. who had a great little Sunpak Readylite20, almost like a small little flashlight that can fit on the hot shoe or be handheld, & tho it didn't have a powerful ight, I liked that it had a round light beam so it didn't light up all the guests on the sides of the exit "tunnel". Unfortunatley I can't find it any where, afraid it might be discontinued. Any of you guys have something that works well for you?

You could just put a snoot or honeycomb grid on your flash though if it's just the shape you're looking for.


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)

I have a Youngnou video light (sp?), it has barn doors but they're useless if you're shooting against a flat featureless wall. They make weird light patterns. The LED lamp is quite focused anyway, there's not a lot of spilll, most light goes straight ahead.
