I recently purchased one of these, the price was right and inspection of the unit indicated decent quality. The light is rated supposedly at 640 lumens and it has a wide, smooth, circular pattern that is approximately 120 degree arc and again a burn time alleged at 2 hours.
I have not used it, got in too late for my trip to Cayman but I plan to use it soon enough. I am curious, anyone else with one of these? I am not expecting a whole lot, I just want some supplemental light for close ups with my GoPro Silver 4. I realize as a semi experienced (being generous okay) still "photographer" that this little light is not going to turn night to day or cover the full field of a GoPro all by itself. Supplemental lighting for people faces, up close critters, fill light in swim throughs etc. is my main interest at this point.
I plan to construct a GoPro tray of aluminum bar and mount the Intova Action Light to the side as a handle on the right with the main handle to the left with a ball for an additional light or accessory. For those times the GoPro is going solo as it will spend most of it's time in truth riding shotgun to my FIX90 rig with dual Inon D2000 strobes.
