Title: Poor Quality and Way too bright
Review: I have a Canon GL2 and am a professional videographer. I purchased this light due to reviews saying the VL-3 was not bright enough. However, this light is way too bright to not have tilt and swivel capabilities. Your subjects will always squint when this light is pointed at them.Also, this product does not interact with the advanced hot shoe, it only attaches there. This means there is no advantage of the Canon branded light over a 3rd-party/generic version.The cost of this light is based on the Canon name alone, because the quality construction is also poor. The battery does not firmly seat into the light so any sudden movement makes a loud clicking sound on your recording.If your lighting needs can be accomplised with the VL-3, purchase it. It is auto on and off and makes no sound on your recording.If you need a strong light, buy a 3rd party one with barn doors and tilt and swivel ability.
