Light Mod - Compact Rechargeable Waterproof USB-C LED Light - Official GoPro Accessory

Product Information

This light will serve multiple purposes for safety light, photography and video. The blinking feature makes safety light use feasible. First up, here’s a few sets of four images in varying light levels, taken as stills from a video shot in 4K/30 with no ProTune settings. I’d be able to eek out a bit more light in ProTune by upping the exposure, but for the purposes of showing the light, we’ll just keep things simple. The first is out on the street in a fairly dark area with almost no street lights, with this initial set sans-diffuser. The 3-way is held at arm’s length, as you normally would: GoPro's most expensive action camera uses two fisheye lenses to shoot spherical 5.6K video, which you can later crop into standard 2D video using OverCapture software. In our review, we found that the six-microphone setup records excellent audio, if not quite up to the level of GoPro's 'shotgun mic' claims. The Go Pro Light’s blinking feature is excellent. I’m going to buy it partly because of that feature. I will use two of them for headband/hat mounted bicycle blinking safety lights for day and night use, as well as using them for still photography and video with my Olympus, Fuji, and Go Pro Session 5 cameras. This light also has a full range of RGB color options. Therefore, you can record unique colors such as purple, blue, green, red, and yellow. The possibilities are endless. Furthermore, the light takes two hours to charge.

You want perfect image quality: Cheaper rivals produce crisper 4K video, which can appear soft out of the Brave 7 LE. The best action cameras are compact, tough and easy to operate. Thanks to their rugged build, action cams can be used to shoot footage in the kind of scenarios where most standard cameras simply can’t survive. And because the top options offer outstanding image stabilization, action cams are ideal for recording smooth video while you’re on the move. What we don’t like: Although it’s quite an innovative product, the build quality of this mount could be better.Shooting smooth and grain-free footage in low light is an art. Here are three important tips that you can use to become a pro in capturing amazing low light shots. Light Mod is easy enough to use and provides a surprisingly high amount of light. In terms of color temperature, Light Mod does produce a distinctly white 5,700K, which will be too cool for some, though it can be warmed-up to 5,000K by using the diffuser cover. They both actually have fairly similar battery lifetimes. It’s also designed for heavy underwater use – so that’s an element of it. Either way, I point this out merely because there are plenty of options here, and I think the biggest advantage of the GoPro light is just that it’s really damn small. Whereas if you need a crazy big light, such as to illuminate a large vehicle, it’s not really the best choice.

SD memory cards come in a handful of sizes. Most compact, DSLR and mirrorless cameras use standard SD cards, which are the size of a postage stamp. GoPro cameras use microSD cards. These memory cards are much smaller and they are the same format used by most smartphones with expandable storage. Max Lumens: The most essential factor of a GoPro light is how many lumens it offers. Lumens are a measurement of how much light a bulb emits. Therefore, it describes how bright your GoPro light is when you turn it on. Depending on your recording situations, you may need a light offering the most lumens possible.However, the primary downside to this light is its relatively high price point compared to other options. But you can’t go wrong with the Sea Dragon if you’re looking for a serious workhorse and don’t have a budget limit. Thanks to the new GP2 processor, you get the most powerful GoPro so far, but in other ways, it’s a relatively minor upgrade and not one of the big leaps between some of the generations we have seen. The 1/2.3-inch sensor is relatively small, but it can still capture reasonable raw stills and 4K footage at up to 30fps. We did find that overexposure is a risk in bright conditions, but colours generally prove rich, with sensor-shift stabilization doing something to combat vibrations. In its high-speed setting, the TG-6 can also shoot 1080p video at 120fps, but only for 20 seconds. No diffuser in this case, since I wasn’t really looking to minimize or soften the light here. The photo I took above was under some lights so you could see the setup, whereas below is while moving on a dark street. So, let’s dive into my list of the top 7 best lights for GoPro cameras. I compiled this list based on years of testing and recording nighttime videos.

The Light Mod: A small light that attached to the Media Mod accessory, but also has a standard GoPro mount too Oh, and finally, two photos. I know these aren’t exciting – that’s OK. The purpose is to show you the light. The below is a comparison in photo mode between hand-held no light and hand-held light. The most obvious difference between the GoPro Hero 8 and GoPro Hero 9 is the addition of a front-facing LCD screen. So, somewhere between the 10 and the 8 (and therefore down here in our list) is this choice.Many people use action cameras to capture footage of their adventurous pursuits, such as mountain biking, skydiving or snowboarding. The best action cams are also waterproof, so some outdoor enthusiasts employ them to shoot watersports or record underwater video while swimming or diving. Most action cams come with a range of mounts, which make it easy to attach them to your helmet, handlebars or even a strap which wraps around your chest. So you should always be able to find an attachment that suits. The Akaso Brave 7 LE offers an incredible range of features for its price. If a front-facing screen and weather-sealing are more important to you than outright video quality, then it should certainly be high on your shortlist. In our tests, this model's audio quality was better than any other non-GoPro we've reviewed (in quieter environments, anyway) and it has a fantastically intuitive touchscreen interface. However, if you need extravagant lighting, there are limitations with the GoPro Light Mod. Designed for portability and convenience, you may need a more powerful light if you plan on recording subjects far away in the distance. This light is unique because it’s not meant to attach to a GoPro mount or your GoPro itself. Instead, it comes with a mini tripod stand which means you can easily set up this light in a stationary position. You need total waterproofing: The Go 3 itself is waterproof, but the handy ActionPod housing isn't.

What we like: This mount has a great compatibility with all major GoPro and other action cameras, DSLRs and LED lights. It has a durable PC material and stainless steel body, so you don’t have to worry about it rusting even if you use it for deep sea diving. Its excellent craftsmanship makes it very convenient to set up.

GoPro changed the photographic landscape with its Hero range of feature-rich, high-quality action cameras that made photographers and videographers out of adventurers, pet owners, swimmers, cyclists and other sports enthusiasts, kids, drone pilots and many others who may have never considered buying an interchangeable lens camera. The only downside to this mount is that since it’s so inexpensive, the build quality isn’t as good as other options. However, unless you accidentally drop it or handle it carelessly, you shouldn’t have any issues. You need perfect stabilization: Electronic stabilization is OK, but you'll get better performance by spending more.
