Does what it's suppose to do

I had to get this after I bought a wide-angle lens for my SR11. The lens covered the flash on the camcorder. The wide-angle combined with this external flash/light captures amazingly beautiful picture. The light is good for recording subjects within 3ft-6ft, but I rarely use it because it's really bright and annoys the person I'm recording.

No Separate Batteries!

This camcorder light was a must for our home video needs. It drastically reduced the grainy, low light picture quality. We are much happier with our indoor video footage since using this light. The autosensor is helpful, and we really like that it runs off of the camcorder battery and does not require separate batteries.

Good seller, OK product

I FOUND IT TO BE VERY EASY TO USE EXCEPT FOR THE ATTACHING OF IT TO THE CAMERA INSELF, IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT TO FIGURE IT OUT, IT IS SMALL, SO IT IS EASY TO CARRY ALONG. AND IT WORKS VERY WELL.

OK

The amount of light output by this device, requires you to be up close, and is not great at illuminating more than one subject.
