Customer Review: Comes in quite handy
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned the VL-10 for about six years. I purchased it along with my Canon GL2. This is my primary "go to" light. Like other reviewers have stated, the light can be blindingly bright. Especially when used close up. I primarily use it as a fill if the light levels are low in the room. While not very professional, if I'm shooting in a room where I might be shooting close up I will tape a piece of diffusion over the light. It seems to help. The diffusion also helps if you're shooting outdoors at night especially at close up objects so you don't get the hard shadows that the light itself will produce.
The only negative I have is that I wish that the light would work at lower power levels when attached to the hot shoe and without a battery. That would come in handy in a pinch. But, what does come in handy in a pinch is if you drop your keys in a field at night during a shoot and need a bright light to find them. Sure, a flashlight would work if I had one nearby. I've also used this sucker off camera more times than I can count...for video work. Not just for being a flashlight replacement. It comes in quite handy.
Oh, one more kinda negative comment. I do a lot of hand held camera work. While the light is very light (see what I did there?), it's height sometimes throws off the balance of the camera. The size of the battery may affect the weight as well and cause it to be more (or less) off balance. I'm used to it now, but, it may feel a little awkward at first especially when trying to get tricky shots. It's been banged around a bit by me trying to put the camera in hard to reach places to get a shot. You'll hear me say, "Darned light!" every now and then because it'll bang against stuff or prevent me from getting a shot. Remember, I said I use it off camera quite a bit. Maybe I don't say "darned."
