The Craphy PT-504S LED photo studio Light is just what I needed to get a better shot when we set up the photo booth at our parties or family get-together’s or just need more light when shooting somewhere with little light.
First, you need to be made aware that this does not come with the batteries or a power cord to power it. You must either have or buy an AC adapter plug that will fit it or a Sony NP-F Type Battery (NP-F550, NP-F750 or NP-F970). Seen a generic NP-F550 on Amazon for $9.99 if needed. You need two of them. I had the AC adapter that fit it and I would guess most people already have one also laying around.
The light itself is a little on the heavy side and will be really heavy if you use the batteries to power it, especially if you use the more high powered mAh batteries that last longer. You will need a pretty good and sturdy stand to use this on.
You can also buy separately, the RC-01 remote control to use with this as this does not support Bluetooth to operate and control it like some others do. I have seen one on B&H for about $25. Without the remote, this is all manual to use but not that big a deal.
This light is very well built with removable barn doors (don’t lose the screws) and comes with two filters that cover the lights and gets inserted from the top of the light. One is a clear white filter for diffusing the light (gives you a daylight light at 5600k) and the other is an amber filter that gives you a warm orange color at 3200k.
On the back you have an indicator for the batteries if installed, a mode button, power button, up/down button to adjust the brightness of the light and a port for the AC adapter plug. You need to push and hold the on/off button to get it to turn on or off as there is a little delay.
This comes with a hot shoe (with a GoPro attachment with thumb screw) and also comes with a handle if you or someone else decides they want to hold this light when using it.
Overall, this is a very bright LED light with 504 LED lights that is easy to setup, control and operate. I think this is an excellent light and well worth the money spent for what I use it for.
