Can this light be used for videos/movies i.e. will it stay on while shooting a video?

Yes, it will stay on. It has an off/on button. It will not flash with your camera ... this is just a light!

Hi,Yes, it stays on while shooting a video since its power comes from its own battery and is not electrically connected to the camera (and must be switched on and off manually). The light is not particularly bright but I can get movies on a Nikon D7000 at about 12 feet.

I only use it for video as it is too bright for ambient light. It does not, however, act as a flash and fire when the shutter is depressed.
598658
Absolutely. It has it's own switch. Just think of it like a square flashlight, a REALLY BRIGHT, square flashlight that can attach to your hot-shoe mount or hand held or where ever you need light.

It's not a flash, but a continuous light. And since it's not a flash, it doesn't provide an extremely high amount of light. I've never used it for video, only for Macro shots.

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.

yes, This light should work on a camera or camcorder that is modified or has night vision. this model will give you an hour of IR light and has to be recharged after that

Not unless you are doing some short, stroposcopic videos. This flash only puts out measured bursts of light, not a steady stream suitable for video use.

This is for flash units not video lights. How would I know what your supposed use is. I use professional Canon Camera equipment not $15 video lights

sure! i carry mine in my pocket when i shoot all the time and have had no issues with it turning on afterwards. if you are looking for something to mount to your firearm i would look elsewhere. this light is as big as a AA battery and has a twisty switch. not designed as a weapons light.

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.

Hi DEBBIE MCMAHILL, if the light you are pertaining is the flash or the AF illuminator, this can be set only on shooting still images and not for video recording. -Ely

It is an LED, constant source light, not flash, so it is compatible with every camera ever made. For video, it works great. The light intensity is fully adjustable and can be adjust warmer, which is very nice. I always use it set warmer.

Yes, it can be used to trigger the video function. You will need to set your camera to video mode, enable wireless remote functionality, and set the remote to the "2" switch. For still shots while video is being taken, push the switch to the bottom on the remote to begin getting still shots.

Probably not. We use it for "green screen" videos, but if I remember correctly, gym lights, for example, will shine through.

install on the camera? dude , this is a 1000WATTS viedo light that is about 10 pounds :P , im guessing you are confusing it with a led light or something ? this is a light for video production nothing related to any camera in specific

What do you mean "on a video camera"? I use 4 of these on my light rig, when I chain them to a controller I can set them to stay on a color, blink at a desired speed, or transition to another color while adjusting the brightness of the light as well.

depends on use but it last me an evening of filming with the light kept on. For its price and features I am happy with it.

The video should be fine. But you may need a power source closer to the camera.
