Camtree / Proaim led light experience?

[Brian Tucker]

I sold the 72’s because I needed something smaller/versatile. These things (2415) work excellent and put off a LOT of light.

I do not have experience with your particular light but I would say if you need more than the 2415 the 72’s put off even more light but you will have twice the kit to carry so its a trade off. One might even buy two sets of the 2415 and have more flexability than two 72’s in the same footprint.

Before this I was using two cheapo softboxes with 5 100w equivalent fluorescent lights in them. They put off a lot of light but were a pain in the… The 2415 works great and if I need to diffuse I can just use diffusion paper or a showercap in a pinch. I am always shooting in smaller, less than optimal office spaces/places. 🙂

I get nothing but compliments on the smaller versions and I did away with the stands they came with and use.I use them with Manfrotto 5001B. This kit is he ultimate in portability. I had a media day recently with three local news affiliates there and two of the cameramen asked me to send them info about the lights. I have also seen these used on the set of “Catch a Contractor” on Spike TV.

There is also a 2412 version of this light (12v) as well so you may want to look into that and see how you may be able to run a cheap homemade/hacked external battery solution vs the 2415(15v) version.

I did get the anton bauer mounts on mine but have not invested in the batteries as of yet.

Here are the lights in action at the media day. I did not shoot this video however was shot with a Panasonic X920 – I can tell you this room is VERY dark, with a 5d MKIII i would be shooting ISO 6400 @ F2 with no flash.

Hope this helps

Also you can check the 2nd video here @ :50 sec (remaining) for closer shot by news affiliate – you can see the light distance in both examples and they are VERY far back, still ample light.

Generally based upon the needed requirements, The mode of selection will be depended. In these aspects, We must consider the high quality of LED strips which will help us to give more brightness while compared to the normal one.

Hello,

I’m looking for repair parts for these lights, especially replacement LEDs.

Anyone know of a source??

Thanks!

AM 🙂
