Very useful. Thanks!

Good stuff Taky. The CM-lbps 1800 looks reallly good. I have the VL-10i and it helps, but doesn't seem to compare to the 1800.

I have problems with the VL-10i blinding the subject (people turning away....), I can only imagine the effects of the Comer lights on a subject. Any comments?

Aaahhhh! Disappearing kitty! It's like a Fringe episode.

Nice shoot-out. That helps a lot.

Where does one buy a CM-LBPS1800? I can't find them anywhere online.

*EDIT* Wait, it's cause I was searching for Comet not Comer

Ethan, I'm selling the extra ones I have

Thanks much for the fantastic videos! They are really a big help in making my decision. I'm definitely going to take a closer look at the Corner units...

Glad you like the videos. I found myself trying different types of on-camera lights and ended up have 6 of them at home. Now I'm using the Comer lights and sold the rest =) i still have the VL-3 for my Canon HV30.

You have a very patient cat.

Comer lights rock!
 

Thanks for the light review. Those Comer lights are great.

I wish amazon or B&h photo would sell them.

Thanks again,

Simon

We are not the big guys like B&H or Amazon, but we work just as hard. The light itself is a great product. We provide good customer service and product warranty. There are many happy customers who are also DV Info members. Hopefully that should give you a peace of mind in buying from us, to support small business as well as DV Info sponsor. :)
