2.0 out of 5 stars Theres got to be something better., February 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sima SL-7 Mini Camlight 20 Watt Cordless Video Light (Electronics)

While this product works, it is cheaply made. Construction is all plastic and it seems to be crudely molded at that. It is very heavy for use on a handheld video camera. Don't let the 20 watt rating fool you. It is very bright, so my subjects often complained about the glare. Sturdiness is a word that can't be used with this product. I dropped it on the floor while trying to attach it to my camera and the case popped open and the light bulb broke rendering it useless. Part of the fault is the clumsy method for securing this thing to the light shoe. There has to be a better way than the screw-type fastener they use.

I'm going to give the 3-watt SL-9 a try and forget about this thing.

This little light worked well for what I needed - an easy to use camcorder light that would improve my videos. It was easy to attach, had easy to understand instructions, and really improved the colors on my videos. Not as rugged looking as the professional lights - but for the price it was a great buy!
