This light works as advertised, but it is best suited for gentle use. It is constructed for very "light duty". In other words, its made of cheap plastic and will break the first time you knock it against something.

It mounts on bracket and then to camera. If the gopro has this type of threads it will work. This is a great light very bright and light weight. You will need to buy a bracket that mounts to camera check Amazon they have them. Light mounts on bracket other end mounts to camera. Hope this helps, Vidpro makes a light kit with bracket.

I think it would be excellent!! the light is very bright and dims/brightens gradually for whatever level you need.

In my opinion, I would buy a newer camera instead of this housing, mainly because the high price of this old housing, if it was cheaper I might consider to buy it, but nowadays I would go with a goPro or something newer with better specs.

I don't recommend this kind light for music video. because being too hot . If the work space is small you can use LED light.

Look for a model (the light will be similar to this one) with the motion sensor and base attached. This light could be adapted to your situation but you would be throwing money away buying all the other parts.

its weak unless you are using it on road and there are street lights. For mountain biking I would by one of the cheap 4000 lumen lights on ebay for about 30 bucks, that's what I did and it worked out great

I wouldn't buy it. Mine is no where near a 1000 lumens. Maybe 200 if that. Just my 2 cents.

Nothing impressive to be honest I'm really unhappy with my purchase I mean the light was visible during the day but I reccomend not buying this I ended up buying a Beltec and have been blown away with it ever since I first bought it I can honestly say it has saved me from a lot of tickets (used with stryker laser jammer) good luck with your choice.

If yours isn't doing like this video at the beginning then return it. It should look like lighting in the sky quick flashes etc...Hope it helps...really is a great light! http://youtu.be/CZXFgRxgj34

I fully agree with your idea. I bought a "Wide Angle Lens for MagicShine, Gemini, and many other Bike Lights / Headlight" by ACTION LED LIGHTS about a year ago and have been very happy with it. With the light you are looking at, it can replace the original flat glass lens or fit over it. You unscrew the metal ring that holds the lens over the LED bulb, replace the lens with the diffuser (or put the diffuser over the lens) and screw the ring back on being sure that the rubber o-ring stays in position and the bars molded into the diffuser stay vertical. Easier to do than to explain. Pattern is quite even and spread is good for bike paths and roads. Might be a little narrow still for boonie-crashing. Preserves weather seal on the lamp if you are careful with the o-ring. not bad for five bucks!

With a v-mount battery you can carry this light around -- it is a nice portable light for run-and-gun shooting, not hot, light weight, no cord, etc. You can also run it from its cord and transformer. You will probably want a stand for it for conventional video lighting. Obviously, you need a charger for your battery. I like two batteries, so I can swap one while the other charges.

Yes it is but it has a major problem. I won't stay in place. If you have mountain bike and you go through a lot of bumps then the light will go downwards that's why I'm looking for a new light right now. It's really cool but I would suggest you get another one.

I also used the PolyTac, it was available as a bundle. It seems to be a good light, battery life is somewhat short but its very bright.

I checked gopro, found out it do not carry IR sensitive len. You need to replace Len to make it work. If you change len with IR sensitive, IR Illuminator should be work for it. Thanks

I would choose another light. The soldering on this light looks like a child did it. But as far as the size, it might work.

I am certainly glad that you asked this question. What the issue is with this device is that it does not tighten up enough and it slides out the clip on top of the camera, which in turn causes the lights, or what ever you have on it to fall completely off the camera. I have been meaning to call and complain about this and in hopes that you could replace it with a better fitting device.
