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?

May  be he is speaking of that : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quantum-OMICRON-QF26-Flash-Video-Ring-Light-/140868450654?pt=Digital_Camera_Flashes&hash=item20cc69f95e

It costs as much as a camera and is a constant light for videographers rather than a flash.
