I am using a Drift Ghost-S that weighs 6oz. Is my cam to light to properly stabilize on this?

Depends on what you are doing, and how bumpy it is. Hand-held, walking, like the arm in the photo, it would probably do great. Stabilizing on a run or bumpy ride the G-Force 3-axis stabilizer would work better (but about 10 times more money).

Purchase a hand light mount that will fit this camera. We found one on Amazon and it is this :ePhoto C002 Handheld Stablizer with 2 Hotshoe Adapter. We mounted an IR and Full spectrum light and switch from time to time for different light. The connection to mount a stabilizer is on the bottom of the camera, and works great for us on investigations. Any questions email back.

You really need to find your model. It is a safety issue. Two light and it won't hold pressure, too heavy and it will build too much and be dangerous.

I thinl as long as the camra and the flash are side by side and NOT UP AND DOWN you should be fine.

Not very stable. It's very light. But it has a hook where you can hang something heavy to stabilize the tripod.

We use it with sony handycam. The movement is pretty smooth. Sometime the video shakes a little when the movement is stopped suddenly. It probably not work good with a heavier camcorder. I have been very happy with it.

Yeah. But its kinda shakey at its full extent. I just have a canon 600 rt on it . So if you have like an alien bee or Einstein etc. Dont even look at the stand its not strong enough.

My FS camera does not have a mounting for a light. I purchased a grip that attaches to the camera which has a fitting for a light.

first: yes/yes. second: No/ please check out the website www.gopro.com and see if the light sensibility works for you. Best Regards.

There is some truth to this problem. The light mounts with a plastic strap that is tightened with a lever (think of a ski boot buckle). The problem is that the lever doesn't really stay tightened, and you have to push it back into place. However, I haven't noticed this loosening going over bumps, etc., it's just that at the end of a ride, you tighten the strap again. A minor design defect and not a big deal. I like the light.

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.

It is sturdy enough for a Drift Ghost camera. I've used it for an interior car shoot, using a Canon 5d Mark II which the body weighs two pounds without the lens.

I should give the ring light look. Haven't used it for that. Since it stays on constantly, it should be fine for video. But, for video you may want to buy the flat panel and attach it to a tripod or light stand or on-camera.

This light certainly works while recording or still shots. it also has a little knob to adjust the brightness. In my opinion very inexpensive and definitely worth the buy. You might want to buy a bracket for you camera because the light isn't small. If you camera is bracket ready then this is certainly the light for you. I own a Nikon p500 so our cameras are both similar In style but not the actual same camera. This is why I suggest making sure your camera would support the light either by bracket or your camera may even have something to already support the light on top. Sorry I could not help on the last portion of your question. But I would certainly recommend this light.

I'm using the tripod - and have some reasonably heavy equipment on it ( digial camera + telephoto lens ) and i took some long exposures that were fine. Clearly one of the main factors is weight but i have had no stability concerns.

The one problem I had with this was that I didn't hold the cartridge in long enough. First it will just flash then I believe it will be a steady light.

it is kind of strong. I bought a "Collapsible Softbox Light Modifier for On - Camera", it fits right on the bulb and softens the light.
