For Better Videography, Soften It Up

Add a softbox to your inexpensive LCD Lighting

March 18, 2019

.A popular inexpensive light for on-camera or light stand use is the Neweer 160. It is a relatively small LCD that comes with a couple of color slides-ins to soften or change color temperature. I have a couple.

 

But even with variable strength control, it causes glares if I try to use it for a tutorial or quick video.

The answer is the Neweer Softbox for the 160, available on Amazon. It fits over the light, diffuses and softens it, and should have a definite impact. I get mine Wednesday... I'll try it and let you know.
