Hi there. Anyone have a recommendation for a small led ringlight for the Olympus 60mm?
Will Crockett over at DiscoverMirrorless is recommending the Omicron QFlash - It looks like a really great unit for video --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQChP7yOhoQ A bit pricey, and the batteries are a significant expense, but it looks really nice.
The range on LED lighting is sigificantly less than that of flash. Also, there isn't a setup that makes use of TTL on Panasonic/Olympus cameras as far as I know. With the GH3, I'd have to use the PC socket and shoot manual exposure - which I normally do on flash work anyway with either a light meter or just the historgram on the camera.

I watched that video and that guy leaves a lot to be desired.
I am not sure you can have a true TTL LED flash as most LEDs take about 1/1000 second to respond. Camera mount electronic flash units have flash durations as small as 1/30,000. This is why TTL is easy with them.
If you know of a true TTL LED flash, please let me know.
Why would you have to use the PC socket and not the hot shoe?

Alan, I think I had a brain freeze... The benefit of using lad lighting is that it is a continuous light source, at least to me... No pc socket or hot shoe necessary for that... the trouble is that LED lights fall off too quickly, so some kind of flash is necessary...
Manfroto has a hybrid LED unit that also has a flash mode: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/761822-REG/Manfrotto_ML840H_Maxima_84_LED_Panel.html. Not a ring flash, but might work. It has no ability to connect with particular brand of camera's TTL flash metering... So it couldn't act as a Canon flash or a Panasonic flash...
Pas far as Will Crockett goes... I kinda enjoy him... YMMV...
