My only gripe is the build quality. It’s made of plastic so you’ve got to be careful with it. But, that’s the trade-off for the very reasonable price. I’ve fashioned a case for it from one of those plastic yellow Nestle Quick containers. An old sock at the bottom, one wrapped around the LP Micro and another on top and you have a pretty decent case for the unit.

I can see myself picking up another one of these and mounting both of them to the Rycote hot shoe extension bar I have. In fact, I’ll probably pick up a few more of these as they’re so small and portable you can stick them just about everywhere.

This is a great product. The quality of the light is great. Being able to dim it and gel it is awesome.

You won’t regret purchasing this product. It’s great.

As a side note, Litepanels markets this in photo magazines for use in still photography as well. I was skeptical at first, but I must say I’ve found this to be a very capable use of this product as well.

DV Magazine just did a review with the Photometrics see http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/newbay/dv0308/index.php?startpage=16
There is a huge drop off when using the CTO according to the article.

I watched your quick video review of this light. Thank you for providing the example. I am curious how the light output compares to a 10 - 20 W tungsten light at the same range before I pre-order one. I will most likely be using the CTO gel for weddings which I know will take some light away. Thanks!
