I appreciate the video, but is that light absolutely the best option? There isn't another one with a similar price and the same features that plugs in?

ah I see that they do have an ac adapter I think I'll get that because I'm planning to use a wall mount boom arm
One more thing I'd like to add, if you cannot afford all the lights, you can use natural light as a fill or main light!

Yes, I plan on doing a natural light tutorial soon! The only downside with natural is you can’t control it fully, but in my opinion it is the best looking light!

Picked up a couple of the Viltrox L116T LED LIGHTs and two sets of batteries (total 4 batteries) and a charger, already had stands and reflector. The lights work great, they drain the battery quicker than I hoped for so good decision getting an extra set of batteries. I do plan to pick up a couple more sets of batteries for on location where there's no power option. These lights really are a great addition to my kit and resolved my issues with video flicker. Thanks for posting this video, super helpful.
