Tips on buying a light for XH-A1 for wedding shoots.
Is there anything you guys would recommend for about $250 or less?

The Sony HVL-20DW2 and HVL-20DMA are comparable units, just use different batteries, been pretty happy with them myself, recommend a diffuser like a StoFen as they can be a bit harsh on the eyes of subjects.
I'm fiddling with some LED lights that are smaller and lighter, and will do fine for backup, so I'm selling a couple of these as complete setups (light, battery, diffuser and charger) - shoot me an e-mail if you're interested, as I see you probably can't access the classifieds section of DVinfo yet. |

no tilt on Sony HVL
We use the PAG light; love em but the battery pack can be a hastle.
Looking into the Sonys mentioned but noticed there is no tilt feature. Does the fixed upright mount become a problem?
