I’ve been wanting a hassle free way to mount 2 lights on a single c-stand so I wouldn’t have to deal with 3 or more stands for my key light. Here is what I came up with. There are probably some better ways to mount the scrim, but this way was cost effective. All I needed was the triple header.
I’ve really enjoyed working with the TorchLED Bolt. I highly recommend you invest in one or two of these. I’ve used mine for a background light, rim/hair light, catchlight and in some cases a fill light. Such a great little light to have in your bag for any project.
Pros: Soft light, adjustable light levels, not hot lights, well built.
Cons: Slight green hue, takes time to setup, no switch on the cord.
The Kit
The kit consists of 2 light units (9 bulbs each), a collapsible soft box for each light, an inner baffle for each light and 2 heavy-duty impact air cushioned light stands.
In November I was asked to film and edit a short video covering the Moody Help-Portrait site here in Chicago. I am so glad I had the opportunity to get involved! Met some awesome people and was encouraged by the whole event.
Disclaimer: I was given this item for free in exchange for a review. But like all my reviews I am being as objective as possible.
I have used a lot of C-stands on sets in the past but never owned one myself. But B&H Photo Video offered to send me one for review and I had the chance to use it on a several projects.
I have been super impressed with this LED panel. Here are some of my thoughts:
Daylight Balanced – If you have Tungsten (3200K) lights you will need to convert them to daylight or visa-versa.
Small – These will be awesome for traveling.
Dimmer – Great feature for getting the luminance perfect.
Battery – If you can get the battery version I would.
Light Power – I have the 600 version, seems a wee bit weak for anything other than 1 person interviews etc. You might want to consider getting a 900 or 1200.
The ePhoto 900 is the second highest powered LED in the light series. I found this to be the best model to by first if you are getting started with LED lights.
