Rotolight NEO II

I purchased this and its big brother, the Aeos II, for a recent promo shoot in Paris. The Aeos II provided solid constant light, but this little beauty mounted on my hot shoe really saved the day. It's very well made, with excellent control over brightness and temperature. The included filters are a nice touch and came in very handy. It's not as bright as a typical flash, but it is well bright enough to light up a subject several meters away. The portrait shots I took were occasionally slightly over-exposed if anything, so there was no issue with light levels from this device. I was able to adjust in camera RAW, and the results are excellent; magazine quality, and soon to go into print. I will have this with me on all still and film work and I think it's very good value at the price.

Compact and lightweight, I bought this as a fill-in light for video conferencing and presentations. It’s really powerful and spends most of its time at 10%! Build is plasticky (it’s plastic!) but solid. Buttons work well and all I would wish for now is a remote control. Delivery was sooner than promised and the packaging was excellent. Came with filters and a belt case.

I have found the light covers all my basic needs as someone new to basic portrait photography. It is adaptable in it's variation from a flash to a continuous light source. The only down side was that I ordered one with a UK plug and got one with a euro plug which meant additional expense in buying the right one hence only giving the product a 4*

This is a great little light. And quite powerful for its size. I normally avoid multi-colour lights as you don't get the power of single colour equivalents but I made an exception with this one - and I'm glad I did. I've already used the adjustable colour several times and I've even used one of the special effects - which I'd written off as a gimmick. I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to use other effects.I haven't used the flash yet as I use TTL flash normally but I have no doubt it works well.I carry this around with me on every job. Even in daylight it's often useful for putting a little sparkle into my subjects' eyes.

Its a great light, lots of features and control. Very bright and super portable. Its rather costly, but since its aimed at a Pro level user, it is what it is.. Love it.. now want more :)I use it with the approved battries and they last ages too, so super handy for long shoots.

Very expensive for what it is, a bunch of LED's sold at a crazy high price. Rotolight must be nuts to think the ordinary joe soap can then go onto purchase a trigger for another 300 quid then bard doors just to be able to mount the softbox all sold at crazy prices. With that said from reviews its light that it produces has a better reputation for more accurate colour temperature than any of the cheaper products such as the Godox LED panels etc. Build quality is OK but the plastic feels like it will crack if it gets a bang or is dropped, would feel better if it was made from more of an impact resisted material (maybe it is made form this stuff but it feels more brittle) The size is lovely, operation is flawless. It says it on the manual and plenty of review sites that this light is NOT suitable for alkaline AA batteries it needs high performance Nimh cells. This is not an exaggeration sticking some shop bought alkalines into it, it lasts about 10mins max and complains of low battery if you ramp up power to past 50% after a minute or two, this is due to Alkaines not suited for high draw where their capacity quickly diminishes, Nimh cells though are better suited to be able to supply enough umph to keep this light working better. I was initially unimpressed with the output of the light when looking at it with the naked eye, but it appears to be enough to use for head/shoulders shots if you ramp up the ISO on your camera when shooting stills.The good: Lovely light, Lovely size, very versatile. Flash mode with PC sync and HSS flash mode with the crazy priced dedicated trigger.The bad: The high price

This is a useful addition to the photographers tool kit and does the job as expected.

Great to get nice skin tones when on the go, surprisingly effective within 6 feet, useful up to about 10 feet.I recommend to also get a D-Tap battery and you won't need to worry about the battery running out, and to be able to use the maximum possible power in flash mode.If you use rechargeable AA batteries instead, you are probably going to need at least 2 sets of 6, if not 3.You can use it to shoot when it's too dark, but it shines when used to get a better exposure on your subject when the natural/ambient light is not flattering.

Good product

It's a beautiful case and the items came perfectly in their place. The problems are putting it back after using the lights. it is almost impossible to put the power adaptors back in the very very tight slots. There are plenty of room in the case to make life easier when putting the power cables away.

Love how small and bright it is and easy to place on different stands or mount to a camera. Sometimes I use it just as a fill light when I need to do a video call. Super versatile.

Sono ancora incerto se tenerlo o meno nel senso che: la luce che emette dei led in modalità luce continua è molto potente e sopratutto per chi è alla ricerca di una bella luce avvolgente per ritratti magari usando anche un ombrello o un softbox tipo Godox ... ( più economico e con uguali risultati rispetto all'originale che tra alette e softbox ci vogliono più di 200 euro! ) il dubbio invece è usandolo in modalità flash che è vero che ha un tempo di ricarica tra un flash e l'altro inesistente ma è anche vero che per chi vuole utilizzare la modalità flash in piena luce del sole in esterni la potenza è veramente esigua, inoltre per chi usa il flash come me per eventi che eseguo a Venezia, (vedi alcune mie immagini con flash sul mio profilo INSTAGRAM: maurizio_torresan_official ) che lavoro in stile reportage e non ho il tempo di calcolare la giusta luce flash emessa dal NEO II , la funzione TTL è fondamentale. quindi tanto marketing in internet per funzione flash, ma vi come spiegavo all'inizio ci sto pensando se vale la pena spendere circa 400 euro se poi lo userò solo per la luce led continua ... e se volete una buona luce morbida e soffusa per ritratti su Amazon è piena di alternative più economiche di led e softbox ...

Estoy muy contento con el Rotolight Neo II, después de ver cientos de reviews me aventuré a comprarlo y no puedo estar más satisfecho.Las características de este modelo en relación a sus modelos anteriores es la potencia que es tiene mucha mas luminosidad y el disparo con sincronización en modo flash. Este último no tiene tiempo de reciclado por lo que puedes disparar 200 flashazos sin parar haciendl una ráfaga si lo deseas.Sin duda una gran compra.
