Which Video light for Pan NV-GS400?

22-04-2005, 9:37 AM

Hi i am looking to buy the GS400 but as all Camcorders are not too good in low light conditions i will need a Video light. Can anyone give me some tips and point me in the right direction as to which one to buy?
PS i was looking at Panasonics version £60!

Something like this :-

or maybe this :-

would be suitable - both come with their own battery and charger so you avoid the rapid drain on your camera battery - you can also get spare batteries for the light if you are going to do a lot of dark filming

Hi Thanks for your info! I did try to get either one of those you mentioned but decided to go with Pannys own Video light VW-LDh3. It is a very small light but its very bright and only uses 3w of the Battery! I will soon give my opinion on how it performs !
Cheers again!
