I purchased this awesome new LED on camera light from Litepanels, the LP Micro Pro. I’ve used it at several weddings now and I have to say it’s a wonderful thing! For years I’ve been tethered to a big battery belt around my waist with my Frezzi light (which still holds a special place in my heart). This worked well for years, but limited my movement somewhat, and weighed me down. When the battery belts started going it was either invest in more belts, or look into other on camera lighting options.
What attracted me about the LP Micro Pro is that it’s light (pun intended), it’s bright enough, and it runs on AA batteries (I use rechargeables, better for the environment). It’s dimmable so we keep it as low as is necessary to capture great images without blinding guests. Also, I don’t have to be wired to it, which means I can take it off camera for some creatively lit shots, and I’m loving the freedom to move and capture even more great shots. Plus, I don’t have to wear a battery belt, yaaaayyyyyy!!!
The other thing that is important is that it doesn’t bother the guests during the night. Our goal has always been to be as unobtrusive as possible. With our Frezzi, we weren’t blinding guests either, thanks to softboxes, but even the lightest battery belts were a pain by the end of the night for us (a back pain). Always looking for ways to improve our work, including using the latest equipment and I just wanted to share about this great new tool.
