Best On-Camera Light for PD170
I was wondering what the best on-camera light is for the PD170 in you guys opinion.
I am buying a whole new DV kit for a full-time videography job I just got and need some help... Thanks! |
Have you looked at this?
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search I've seen a couple ENG crews using these lights. No barndoors or filters, but I believe it uses the same battery type as the PD170, so you can use the same charger. |
Frezzi Minifill
The Frezzi minifill with dimmer and softbox is generally considered the best, but is also the most expensive by far. The NRG VaraluxPro and the Bescor MPL-645K are also good choices. It probably makes little difference which camera you're using.
Two essential features IMO: 1. Dimmer switch 2. softbox Here are some good references: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=40566 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=262858&is=REG http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthrea...ht=john+deluca http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=269941&is=REG http://www.nrgresearch.com/varaluxpro.htm Also, do some searches here at DVInfo.net |
