[corywdavis]

Hey everyone,

i posted a few weeks ago asking if anyone had ever tried using a flashlight on their camera for a cheap solution to an on camera light...but i have found a much better solution.

here is a great alternative for about 20 bucks at home depot...

its an energizer headlamp. i adjusted the strap for it snugly fits around the camera and so far it works great!

Ha Ha, well done!

How many watts does it have?

I wonder if it could have a bracket superglued to its base to fit into the hot shoe?

we add orange tape to lower the color temperature, we also try with other colors so that we can get a lot of color effects
