Re: Video RGB LED lights for still macro photography?

I actually use a combination of Video light and a flash at 1/16 varipower diffused

It provides a less harsh light than a flash that needs diffusing as say The video light does not have enough power to give 1/250 at f11 and low ISO. To do that you will need to use at least ISO 3200. I use my combination at about 1/200 f11 and ISO 200-400 with a 100 EF macro at 1:1 I also use a MPE65 from x1 to x2

So far I have used it only with still life

It is not shadowless, but the video

light softens the harshness of the flash
