I am looking to get a ring light for the XHA1 that attaches to the 72mm filter thread. I am aware that this would disrupt the fast auto focus. Anyone use one or aware if any of the Ebay ones would work?
Many thanks

i build my own from rings of leds you can find on ebay (called angel eyes).
nice provider is Led light company (http://www.xwled.com) (nice light, cheap price)
take the 5050 leds they are a lot bigger and more powerful than 3528.

Sounds impressive, beyond my capability I think. How do you then attach it to the XHA1?

That's interesting Paul, what sort of work do you intend with the ring light?
Cheers.

I need the light for close ups on peoples faces and other areas when the main lights are obscured.

I own a Kino Flo Kamio ring light which can be used with any camera, and has different mounting options.
I have used the Kamio with the XH-A1 numerous times, although I mount it on a 15mm mini rail system.

All the Best!

to fix it, just cardboard and glue on a sunshade should be ok.
if you need more professional look, check for aluminium or plexiglass
