Why? As in why would you have a lighting system for a camera that is the very definition of one trick pony. A number approaching zero of the situations where you’d actually use a gopro would require these lights. Seriously
bbissetYou don't have to use it with a gopro. I've seen these used underwater and on drones. It was pretty neat but yea, definitely a niche market since other setups can work in a similar way.
DemockAh OK... didn't know these were actually waterproof... which seems like something they'd advertise and feature. And have to disagree about drones... as someone whom actually flies drones commercially (for open-pit mining) only the very largest of drones could carry these lights without severely compromising flight integrity. And again... why? Night flights, lol?
bbissetMan, what are you talking about? These lights weigh 2 - 3.5 oz. each. it's the same size as a go pro session. Many toy drones and especially a commercial drone could carry one.
As for why, you can manage some cool lighting effects with a dslr on a tripod, long exposures and a drone providing overhead lighting. Granted dedicated lighting rigs would work much better but hey this is an option.
