Hi all,
I am just wondering if anyone has experience of using these lights as video lights. I have a Gates housing for a Sony PC105, and have ordered two of these torches, with articulated arms, for my housing. Do they work OK, for those of you who have used them? I am also wondering how you have found the articulated arms, do you find they are "stiff eneaugh" to support the weight of the torches.
I get the impression that there have been issues with the torch, from when they were first was brought on the market. I am led to believe the issues seem to be in relation to bulbs which do not work, or work but not for very long, and the fragility of the system, and issues surrounding general unreliability. Can anyone confirm if these issues have been "ironed out" by now? They seem great value for money.
Can anyone also give me a few tips on what to do, and what not to do with the torch, so they hopefully last longer than six months!
The other option was the HID Nightrider lights, very sexy but crazy prices!
Thanks - Bob
