Video Light + Dimmer ?

[shutterbug]

Hi everyone,

I want to purchase a video light (+external battery pack + dimmer).

Anyone know any source?

Recently I was talking to a videographer during a wedding, he uses one, that omits "White Light" and has a dimmer too. He said it costs about $350 all up.

out of curiosity, where do you put the external bettery source? I take it it's attached to you.

The external power (battery) you carry on yourself.

HI Shutterbug, the best IMHO is the dedo brand. This is what the camera guys use at the ABC. Small powerful and good on batterys LEMAC http://www.lemac.com.au/tech/TUTS/dedo.html are a supplier but I am sure that if you do a bit of a shop around you can find a cheaper version. I found the Dick Smith are the cheapest for the dry cell 12V batteries for these lights also.
