Manfrotto ML120 Pocket LED Light

Comments about Manfrotto ML120 Pocket LED Light:

This is an excellent piece of kit. It does the job very nicely but I have found mounting it on the camera is not very successful. What is much better is to place it elsewhere in the room, maybe halfway between the camera and the most distant object (or person in the case of a long table with people sitting around it) to give more light in the distance than close by where the flash often provides more than enough light. This LED is not a flashgun, so it needs to be turned on before lining up to take the picture so different positions can be tried to find the best lighting effect. Added features that would be useful would be a suction cup that fits into the base of the unit so that it can be stuck to a hard surface, or alternatively some kind of a stand. Also an input plug with the ability to connect a photoelectric trigger to it so that it lights up in response to the flash rather than subjecting people to a long period of staring into the bright light that it produces. Nevertheless a very good and very useful piece of kit that is small and light and easy to use.

An ideal form of additional lighting on my Canon G11 and very compact for travelling. Better than a small flashgun.
