well its small so it doesnt give off too much light but it deffinently getd the job done, and its nice and small, it would be good for a go pro

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 loved this light! Yes, I think it would be a good choice since you can adjust the direction of the light. I have to buy a new one since it fell over and the switch broke.

I think it would be overkill. It is a tactical light so is heavy and wider than average flashlight. Something much smaller would be easier to handle and right one would illuminate well.

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.

Max battery life with gopro mounted is going to be 15 minutes. If it's cold, like 12 minutes. I don't think the initial height should affect this at all. Have fun.

I have used my camera for a bit of indoor shooting (filming industrial equipment for mechanical disgnosis), and the camera seems to work fine with normal indoor lighting. Based on my experience with the GoPro, the image quality is as good or better.

be on the sure side and get a power supply with 5amps of current to use for this since there are 30 LEDs(still can hookup 4 camerasw/adapter) and you still wont be able to see 90 feet in total darkness unless you have street lights which I don't have but I do have flood lights with 240 degree sensors to detect motion and they come on an camera picture is much better and you see farther in the darkness..

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!

Not too bad if you aim it just a few feet in front of you. But that means you can't go too fast and the beam is pretty narrow. I found it's not much brighter than some 1 watt lights I have had. I replaced it with a Cygolite Metro 360. It's about $20 dollars more but it's a far, far, better light with a much wider and brighter beam, good for safely going about 18mph. Best light I have ever had. I would highly recommend it as a reasonably cost effective alternative. (There is also a Cygolight Metro 400 which is only a couple dollars more than the 360) I believe the top of the mount of the blaze will swivel if you loosen a screw but I'm not positive of that.

I think this setup is too heavy for a speedlite. I use it with studio lights and it kind of weighs those down.

I see that others have answered your battery question, so I'll just say that this is a really good dive light. Amazingly, it lit up the murk in Perch lake in NM to the point where we could even use a GoPro. Our only complaint is that, the first time we used it, it fell out of it's hand mount as soon as the mount was saturated, so be careful!

The video and camera do not work well in low light. You think you have good lighting but, it has to have lot's of light. In the day time you get great video and pictures. I use a flash light at night ( Mag. Light LED ) to light up what I need at night. Works well. The audio is very good. The wide angle is very nice. I would say a 45 degree angle to each side. The Muvi is a very nice tool for me. The cost is very low. I work Security and I would not want to work with out it.

I think it would make a pretty good light, bu you might need to prop it up on something to get the right angle. I have tried it and found that it is a really good light and I will be buying another!

Thanks for the input. The light is flexible and an improvement over past attempts, but I had hoped this higher end version would be a true upgrade. Still a good light.

I hav this same light over an evolve 4 which I have as a nano reef. Only things I don't like is the lack of on off switch and the pivot points stick a little, id be careful when moving it and such, other than that great light

Yes. I've had my GoPro Black on it many times and it flew great with it just being attached to the board with one of the two sided tape mounts. Got legs so I can hang it underneath and clear the view but weather hasn't permitted. It's a blast and you'll be amazed at the video you can get and the things you come up with once you have the ability.
