Is this lighting good for DSLR video recording? I want to use it for YouTube videos.

Yes, I have used them for filming with my Nikon D5200 and the results are good.

It's good for simple videos with adequate light and sound. Keep in mind it is not a camcorder. It's fine for living room stuff and casual outdoor stuff, however you cannot zoom once it's recording.The video quality (and sound for video) is actually better than some portable blogging cameras (the ones specifically made for shooting low-res video)

They're big on my face, but when upright the video quality is just like how you see the world. It's freaky how good the quality of the vid. is cuz the video look surreal. I mostly record during the day time when I used it, but if your recording in the dark the vid would probably have many shadow looking areas. (i agree with the previous commenter when looking through the sunglasses the frame of the sunglasses makes what you see dark, but not the vid. Itself). Btw make sure u charge the glasses overnight. It takes a long time for my glasses to charge and the battery don't last long enough for me. They're big on my face, but when upright the video quality is just like how you see the world.

Well, I'm not an specialist in video, but in your case, you need to use continuous light, right? So, I guess you need to look at some continuous light kit that fits with standard/universal ring, besides a light stand (kind of tripod) do support your set. I've found this one that can help you: StudioPRO Photography Continuous Lighting 1000W 5 Socket Light Socket with Softbox --OR-- CowboyStudio Single 1000w Continuous Video Light Quartz/Halogen Light for Chromakey Green Screen but please, check the compatibility with your needs before purchasing.

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show. It does seem to have a problem maximizing standard light sources (apartment lighting), which might impact your filming. I have personally struggled to get the light sensors to create bright video even when every light in the kitchen is on. On the plus side, the camera does produce high quality, very large image files. It works for YouTube, but how it would translate to a full blown filming depends on if you are utilizing industry lighting or shooting in bright sunlight. If so, it should work well. If you are going to film in low light or darkened outdoor conditions, you might want to search elsewhere. Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show.

The 16x24 is great for video. I got this lights for product photography and i use only one like but for portraits i use all of them. If you want to see what it looks like for video light set up. Search for this product on youtube. I saw this guy show it off on his set up. I saw the quality of the light with video and it was great. That should help you choose. But you also have to keep in mind your set up space and if you will move them around. That should also be keep in mind. Hope that helps.

It is ready for studio light (Bowen or so, depends on what you get). If you want to use speedlight (oncamera flash), it is also possible, but more tricky.

I would say no for video, because the modeling lights are pretty dim and they are not white. For pictures they would light that well.

It is for stage photo application. So it should be fine for motion taking video. Regards, kimoutlet

Hi Debbie I use our 380 to record our Church services. The lighting is not that great, but the camera does a wonderful job. Visual as well as sound is great. All settings are on auto with low lux off. I would be glad to send you a DVD if you would like.

If you need a lights buy one there are many available at any price point for $40 up. Or buy and big studio lights and stands. Search for "video light" on Amazon

It's a portable video camera with no built-in light nor adjustable aperture or ISO, in short it does not work well on low light condition. Low light photography requires flashes if you need a bright image and the same is true with low light videography. Don't expect a crisp image/video if you're shooting in low light condition without using a separate light setup. Search YouTube for shooting rigs for this video camera and you will notice that everyone that uses this camera semi professionally have external lighting setup. This is not a camera for you if you will use this for low light videography unless you use an external light source or upgrade to a professional video camera with changeable lens and built in light.

You can use it in any lighting situation, just remember that it is recording the full spectrum of light at all times. This means that your daytime footage colors will be different that what you see with the human eye.

I have used it to film at night and this camera needs good illumination to record properly. It works fairly well as a car cam at night but it has a hard time in really low light conditions.

I finally took a video and yes, it takes nice video. I do not know an exact light reading but the videos indoors with little light are poor quality. It needs a well lit room or sunshine for a good video.
