The HD images from GoPro is remarkable in good light conditions. But the camera's performance degrades severely when it comes to shooting indoors or any other scene a bit dark.
Great then is the temptation to find a solution to fill light to counter this weakness.
Here the return of JD on the additional lighting "CameraBright" proposed and distributed by XSories .
This is a camera holder that attaches to the standard screw 1 / 4 ", and there are also different models on the net (warm light, variable distance ...).
Thanks to JD for sharing his opinion and wanted to have us some photos of illustration.
Light is provided by four white LEDs, known for their good value for brightness / low power consumption. These are the batteries "button" that provide energy intake. Small
review details:
Front View:
LEDs are found and not screw 1 / 4 "(standard photo) that allows the installation on the device. For the GoPro, note that you will need Tripod Mount home to serve as the adapter.
It's a bit boring in terms of cost.
Rear View:
A simple on / off switch, and an indication for clamping the wheel used to secure the frame.
Here are the elements necessary to mount the CameraBright on GoPro:
... And finally all assembled:
short, the operation is simple, as the function.
It is time to get into the thick of it with some screenshots of a shooting test video in R4 (960p)
50 cm Result:
Result 1 m:
to 1.50 m Result:
And finally result to 2.30 m:
It can see, the scope is still very limited.
Below 50 cm is an effect of blinding the camera, and 1.50m beyond the lighting becomes clearly inadequate. At this distance
"max", we must also ensure that the subject is right in the middle of the beam.

Experience of our tester-JD-best compromise is to shoot at about 1 meter away. According to him, in these conditions and moving the illuminated area is of relatively good quality.
Conclusion
- negative points - :
- must be purchased in addition to the lamp adapter for camera tripod ( which is rather annoying when you see the price of light)
- Price relative to opportunities, especially if one includes the cost of the adapter.
- Scope of light very limited, which reduces its use to specific situations, lack of versatility.
Fortunately, most shots in the GoPro concern the board, and therefore shots at close range.
- positive + :
- Ease of use.
- Lightness.
- Good Life (LED).
- Consumes very little power.
