This will help my camera to focus when I take photos in dark environments. Right now I use the flash on my phone so my camera can see which is unprofessional in my opinion. I will definitely be picking one of these up!
aes53 they let me keep the model they sent me. They have additional accessories on their website, which are all compatible with the original - which is good to see.
Hi Ben. I just discovered your channel and I really like the content that you're providing. The tutorials are great and I appreciate the practical reviews. Subscribed.
Hi. These aren’t comparable tools - they are meant for different purposes. The floodlight that you referenced, I am on their website, is massive, it is aimed at trades (plumbers etc), it has an on and off switch, a very large battery and much longer life. Probably a lot brighter. This has no connection for a tripod or would be inconvenient for making videos. The Lume cube has Bluetooth, works with an app, has colour consistency, a softer quality of light, magnetic colour correction filters, a screw thread on the underside to attach it to your camera/tripod. It is also waterproof. So, it depends what you need it for. Torches are cheap, anything photography related will be more expensive. That’s just the way it is!
Hi Jeff, I have found a link on amazon. Here. www.amazon.co.uk/Koolertron-Bracket-Holder-Camera-Photography/dp/B01HYVVGR8/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=koolertron+arm&qid=1577814289&sr=8-4
Hello. Yes, even though they sent the light to me complimentary to review - I still had to pay import tax. I recently bought some other products from them and I recommended that they get some suppliers in the UK! Link to another video I have made here. ruclips.net/video/WuuYZ_USJz4/видео.html
Hi Gober. The answer is yes. I just tried it out. But you have to fire the flash on your G7X and the Lume Cube (when set to optical slave) detects the canon flash and then fires. It stays on for about two seconds then goes off until it detects another flash. But remember it is a constant light, it’s not really in the same league as a flash in terms of power output - so it depends what you are trying to achieve with it?
Hi, you would probably fit it to the hot shoe mount on the media mod or use some sort of Smallrig attachment to get the light slightly off to the side. If you are using a go pro for shooting in low light then you will definitely require some light. I have made a separate video talking about small portable lights that you might like.

Hi Jerry, I would say that they aren't comparable unless you find a torch/flashlight that had a tripod mount on it and a way of attaching white balance filters to the front of it. Plus the Lume Cube is rechargeable and connects to the app for complete remote control, and its waterproof.
@@benharveyphotography haha cheers, Ben. I was half-joking :-D... I was looking around at reviews and I must say that yours is the best so far as you demonstrate loads of use-cases and helped in my decision making. Great vid and great location -Brighton ;-)
Thank you your awesome at what you do
best lume cube 2.0 review 👍
Thank you. I have made a follow up more recently if you are looking at portable lights in general. Link here. ruclips.net/video/WuuYZ_USJz4/видео.html
Lume Cube 2: Electric Boogaloo
OK Tom Cruise, you convinced me! :)
Greetings Cube Vlogger Ben...! Always great to hear from you...!
Greetings :-)

Great, just ordered one yesterday.
You will like it - I assume that they have suppliers in the UK?
@@benharveyphotography I’m in the US but I bought it from their web site which I assume ships most places. They should give you one.

Cheers Steve. How did you find me? Was it a recommendation of RUclips?
@@benharveyphotography It was indeed.
Really good video Ben!
Thanks Gordon, did you know about the train tracks at the Marina?
@@benharveyphotography no I didn't but I did know about the train! Great thumbnail btw, it's a great photo for instagram too
Great review, definitely going to get one 📸💡
You will be very happy with it Tony.
So what difference will be by using plain flashlight, lets say $25 Milwaukee Rover true color pocket flood light, 300 lumens compared to this $90 one?

Hello, thanks for the review, can you please put a link for the arm ?

I can only find this from America, was there a customs charge when you got yours?

Is there any way of using a lumecube on a point and shoot camera? specifically on a g7x mark ii?
Hi Gober. The answer is yes. I just tried it out. But you have to fire the flash on your G7X and the Lume Cube (when set to optical slave) detects the canon flash and then fires.

@@benharveyphotography Thank you!
How would this lights work with a Gopro

Any better than a flashlight?

Having Brighton as a backdrop on my doorstep is pretty handy! Glad you enjoyed.
Use the Cube on my Drone. Aperture MC RGB is the better.
