Off Camera Continuous Lighting Options...

[canon23]

Hi All,

I'm looking for continuous video lighting for my still photography. I do weddings & events and have always used on-camera flash. I'm venturing into using video lighting as an off-camera light source.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

My budget is $250.

I shoot Canon 5D Mark II & III

Thanks again!!

Strobes are cheaper than continuous lighting in terms of light-to-dollar ratio.

But if you want continuous lights, check out the cheap LED light panels like: http://www.amazon.com/light-Panel-Video-lighting-Fancier/dp/B003UOOZAY

Or you can go with traditional 'hot' lights like the stuff from Lowel. I've used a Tota light on occasion for some generic videos since I have access to one, but that thing gets really hot after a couple minutes. http://www.lowel.com/tota/
