- Great LED light for video and photography.
Slight issue with dimming function.
**CORRECTION @ 3:40: The built in wireless flash receiver only works with Elinchrom Skyport flash triggers. However there is a 3.5mm flash synch on the Rotolight, so you can still hardwire other brands** - บันเทิง
Hi Sam, Darren here from Rotolight. Thanks for the review, there is a bump from 0% to 1% as with LED's they need to have a certain amount of power for them to turn on. We can bring the power down gradually when we are going from ON to OFF but going from OFF to ON we are currently looking at ways around that :)
The Elinchrom receiver built into the light will only work with Elinchrom SKYPORT transmitters, we have included the 3.5mm sync port on the back so that people can use 3rd party transmitter and receiver systems if they wish :)
Hi Darren, thanks for the heads-up. For me the sudden dimming jump is not a major issue, but I though it noteworthy enough to mention in the review. Totally understand that it's probably more to do with the way LEDs work in general though. Have added a note in the description about the flash trigger compatibility. Keep up the good work at Rotolight dude - awesome product!
Hey Sam, thanks for the positive review and so glad to hear you're a fan of the NEO 2 after getting it via the Sony deal! I know Darren has addressed your questions below but if you have any more do let us know :) Enjoy using it!
If I understand correctly, rechargeable AA batteries aren't necessary? The standard throwaways are okay?
Sure, you can use any AA batteries, as far as I'm aware.
It’s not recommended
@@jellevanthuyne1984 I don't see how using non-rechargeable battery could damage the light? As long as it's the right type / power of battery it should be fine. Rotolight are probably just recommending rechargeables because it's better for the environment. Have to admit I have only ever used rechargeable ones with it though, as that is what I use anyway.
@@PhotoCameraTech Rechargeable AA batteries are 1.2V, alkaline AAs are 1.5V.
I have no idea if that could cause any damage or not though.
@@kelainefes Never knew that. I've been using rechargeable AAs for most of my camera accessories for years. Will have to check them all to find out if I'm using the correct voltage.
Having had one of these for a few months, I would like to say that I think the unit is very overpriced, for what it does. The flash is not worth a jot and why a plastic cold shoe? It’ll get damaged, over time. The Rotolite recommended rechargeable batteries, are excessively overpriced so look for cheaper elsewhere. It’s great as a fill light and the circular shape gives nice catch lights but you’ll find very good, much cheaper alternatives on Amazon or eBay.
No sample photos, no examples how far the light can actually reach, etc. Useless. Maybe will order it on amazon and return if I don't like it.
