The Sunpak VL-LED-09 Compact Video Light is powered by three AAA batteries. It comes with a shoe mount that makes the light compatible with all cameras and camcorders. The ultra-compact Video Light delivers better color, contrast and clarity when shooting video in low-light situations. The 9 tiny LEDs bathe your subjects in rich warm light. They never heat up, no-matter how long you have the light on. Plus, the compact housing weighs only 1.6 ounces and is the perfect size to carry along with your camera. It even has a threaded base for mounting on a tripod.
