Don\u2019t let the fun stop when the sun goes down. All you need is decent illumination and you can capture action at night as well as in the daytime. The [Qudos Action<\/a>] is just such a light.\u00a0 Tiny but powerful, this little package puts out an incredible amount of light.<\/p>\n

With three Cree LED\u2019s, the Qudos Action puts out a blazing 440 lumens at peak power, but it has all sorts of other settings as well for longer battery life.<\/p>\n

Only weighing 150 grams, this is so light you\u2019ll probably keep it in your camera bag at all times. I charge mine the night before an event (charges in 5-6 hours) and as a low power ambient light boost, I can shoot with it for about four hours.<\/p>\n

The Qudos Action comes with a GoPro bracket mount as well as a cold shoe\/tripod adapter for use with DSLR\u2019s and some camcorders. It\u2019s bright enough that often I\u2019ll leave my big video lights behind and just use this in conjunction with a white umbrella for a quick setup. With its 5000k temperature, it\u2019s a perfect daylight replacement without the need for filters.<\/p>\n

Outdoors or under water, this light just keeps going.\u00a0 It\u2019s rated waterproof to 40 meters.\u00a0 The marine grade aluminum case can definitely handle the elements with an IP68 rating.<\/p>\n
