Are these lights best used for video recording? I am looking to film videos for YouTube on a Canon T3i.

Yes, they are designed for video but could also be used for still photography wityh the corrrect white balance set.

From my experience, yes. It worked great in varied lighting situations. The "iA" mode on the camera makes taking videos very easy.

Yes I use it for YouTube videos and it's great but you'll need back lights as well because it does not illuminate the background as well

I think they have an accessory flash, but try available light, you may like yhr trsults.

It will work good if you have your subject being interviewed where they are stationary. The lights need to be fairly close to the subject since the bulbs are energy saver fluorescent. This is a great product, but you need to know that the lights do not project too far so the lights are about 3-5 ft away from the subject when filming. Hope this helps!

Well I'm not an expert on big foot. What I do know is that the battery does not last long so you may consider buying extras...the camera makes chimes and dings that I'm not certain would be great for stealth shooting...it is a mainly indoor use camera and I believe you would be wise to consider that before exposure to the elements. They are not suited for normal video...that is they lack the ir filter so that they see ir light so day time use may damage the video censor. Hope this helps.

I would personally want a lot more light for video. I think this is better for still shots with a camera on a tripod and a slow shutter speed.

I go the one from Cleveland paranormal just for the full spectrum capability(IR and Ultra violet)...It works very well. my only complaint with any of these different camcorders is the light on the camera. You'll have to get a light bar and get a secondary IR light to light up the place. Bell and Howell is a better name then the one from Cleveland, but they both work about the same, but you must care for them well.

yes, I have a link of a video I shot using these lights..https://vimeo.com/100784691, (@ 33 seconds)

Yes it's amazing for filming. I do beauty videos on YouTube and its great because you can change the lighting settings for something really bright. It also comes with different ring sizes for different lens. The only thing is if you do plan on getting it hold the on off for 3 to 5 sec. I was going to return mines because I thought it was broken. For me its a much better alternative then buying a $200 ring light that can wash you out . Hope this helps :)

I did a few promo videos this summer using these as my interview lights. They drain batteries like none other so buy rechargeable batteries or the wall plug in. You do lose some light with the wider framed shots but can get the job done enough plus you can just tweak a little bit more in post. For CU I would even suggest getting a diffuser as the LED light can be a bit harsh (Even with the "gels" they provide in the package)

Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show. It does seem to have a problem maximizing standard light sources (apartment lighting), which might impact your filming. I have personally struggled to get the light sensors to create bright video even when every light in the kitchen is on. On the plus side, the camera does produce high quality, very large image files. It works for YouTube, but how it would translate to a full blown filming depends on if you are utilizing industry lighting or shooting in bright sunlight. If so, it should work well. If you are going to film in low light or darkened outdoor conditions, you might want to search elsewhere.

The mic and light need their own power source. This is not an extension of the hot shoe. Some mics will get power off camera (cheap-o). A mountable LED is a common purchase for use here. The bracket is good to use during interviews or the reality film style if you want that look. For film, light the location and plan your shots a jib, dolly or steady rig. Best used for interviews for docu-work IMHO. That is all I use it for when used.

Hi DEBBIE MCMAHILL, if the light you are pertaining is the flash or the AF illuminator, this can be set only on shooting still images and not for video recording. -Ely

I've had them on for about an hour max and I don't do video filming so I'm not sure the finer points of filming. I'm sorry I can't be of more help for you.

I don't have the same camera. My camera was purchased for HD night recording only and has to have an infrared light in order to use in the dark. The camera works with it in any setting it has. If your camera has a night vision mode that is what would probably work the best. I wish I could be more help to you.

These lights are for taking photos so if you plan on being shot by a camera AFTER applying make up then it will be good. Not for everyday make up application though. Again, for taking photos of mannequins or souvenirs for selling online
