Flicker-free LED light

[xSDMx]

Can anyone recommend an LED that isn't prone to flicker at 1/50th on the GH2? The YN-160 and 135 are both supposed to flicker. And, many people have issues with the CN models. I just wish the Z96 could be had at a reasonable rate...

I've got the YN160, CN126, and Z96. I noticed substantial banding with the YN160, but no such banding at any dim level on the CN126 or Z96.

I have 2 x Z96 and 3 x Cool Lights LED256 and no flicker from any of the units used on many shoots.

look for the z96 on ebay. you can find it there for about $70.

What battery / charger do you recommend? I've seen a few flicker videos on the z96.

I use Sony L Infolithiums, NP-F770.

i have the Z96 and i'm using this generic 750 battery and it has worked perfectly for me: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K7E7HU

along with this ultra cheap charger: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OPB4U6


i've heard the flickering can happen when using AA batteries



here's a quick test i shot the other day, no flickering

with the z96 it'll flicker when the batteries get low. annoying, but very obvious way to know they need to be changed.
