Useful gadget for good price, January 16, 2002
Reviewer: Tigadee
I've used this light a lot since purchasing it and it has worked well in
most situations that would cause chroma noise in dark environments. Use
little battery power but is surprisingly bright in short range shooting,
say up to max 10 ft. Combine with a Sony camcorder's Program mode for
Sunset/Twilight and you can get good, clean and decently lit video.

Excellent/Perfect Light...a note to the disappointed review, January
15, 2006
Reviewer: Gerard A. Bouchard
This light worked perfectly for my Sony DCR-HC40 Camcorder and all of my
needs and yes as pointed out by the reviewer who said when he mounted it &
it faced him and not the subject (which happended the same for me when I
installed it)...YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED TURNING THE LIGHT AROUND AS I DID.
It does swivel completly around...DUH!! Some people can not think for
themselves.....a pitty. They would have loved it as I did if they had
discovered this.
FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING, It uses an 8-Pin Connector Shoe.

Great light!, September 7, 2005
Reviewer: Photo/video geek "stephen pine"
I bought this light to shoot an evening wedding. I was a bit aprehensive,
because my previous experience with video lights is that they are too
bright, and have a "flashlight" effect. This was not the case. The SONY
light is bright, but diffuses nicely. Plus, the light can rotate, which
also helps to diffuse. At night, outside, it created a nice fill with
excellent image quality and color, without harsh shadows.
Great light, great price.

Light turns 180 Degrees, December 22, 2004
Reviewer: CoolKat
This light is good. Note that the video light head can turn 180 degrees.
So if appears that the light is facing backwards, just turn the light head
180 degrees. It is listed in the manual.

a big disappointment, November 6, 2004
Reviewer: Disappointed
I ordered one for my HC40, but when I installed it the light was facing
me, not the subject! I phoned Sony and after a long runaround they told me
the light was supposed to be compatible so it must be defective. They
recommended I return it. It sounds like just what I need, but I'm afraid
if I order another one I'll have the same problem.
