The Intimate Video Light/ Handheld photograpy light.

Step 7 Shopping list and Resources

Here is the first footage I shot using this light. My camera was set on auto exposure and you can see the difference when the light goes on and off. I'll be adding more footage later this week.

As many of you are probably aware, McMaster Carr is a great source for much of the stuff for a project like this. On McMaster's website and Ebay, I was able to find everything I needed rather easily. I've created a detailed shopping list with McMaster's product numbers. Hopefully this will make building a light for yourself even easier.

Here are some images of the effects of still shots with this light. I shot each of these with no extra light, just the built in flash, just the LED light held of to the left, and finally flash with lED of to the left again. Let me know what you think... more video coming soon.

UPGRADE

I recently upgraded the frame to accept a 1/4-20 screw in the base for mounting onto a tripod. Quick easy setup for extra lighting effects.
