Anyone used Big Blue VL2500P lights?

[Shasta_man]

With a credit to be expended, I noticed the Big Blue VL2500P lights on the Leisure Pro site.

I'm interested in using them for video lights. Anyone had any experience with these particular lights? Their other similar products seem to be well regarded for quality.

Thanks.

You can look on CDF. I think that they were using them as a test in Peacock and Indian springs. Looked great. Indian Springs - March 2014

15000 lumens per handheld in that video. Think that's enough? The 2500 looks interesting, and at a price point that makes me reconsider getting the Solas.

I guess I never actually asked myself the question of how much light I actually need.

Anyone noticed how heavy those lights are and that they come on ball mount?

Interceptor121, I did check out your input pertaininf the BigBlue lights. First and foremost, I agree that the Linelock arms will not hold the weight and the ultralight arms are expensive. I got a great deal on the lights and arms. So that is what I am using. (I had the Linelocks in the past and loved them). I have two BigBlue 1800's that offer 120 degree beams but I also have the lens that breaks them down to 80 degrees. So which would you prefer in caves while using an Intova Sport Pro HD II?

 

[Interceptor121]

80 degrees you want the light to go the distance you don't need to see too close to yourself I guess

Humm, I guess but I am trying to lessen the size of the kit so I was hoping that the 80 degree lens would mean less arm to camera distance.
