Sima SL-10IR Infrared Night Vision Video Light for Digital Camcorders Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, I have been seeing a few posts out here of people slamming this IR light. Believe it or not, it works very well if your camcorder is setup to record IR illuminated room.

All camcorders record light being emitted from your remote control, that does not mean it is ready for night vision recording.

Here are some dummy proof facts to keep in mind if you don't know much about IR/Night Vision recording.......

1. You camcorder has to have night vision capability. Just turning this thing IR light won't make your camcorder record an IR illuminated room. Sony Handycams have a IR filter (ICF) which when you switch to night shot mode removes this filter (ICF) allowing more light to enter the optics of the camcorder. This in turn allow night vision recording possible.

2. In order to make this work with your current, non-night vision camcorder to work you would need to remove the IR filter. (please don't do this if your not seasoned at this, as it will ruin your camcorder.)

3. I have a Panasonic PV-GS31 which does not have a removable IR filter, and using this light with is useless. Sure it lights up stuff really close up in slow shutter mode, but the image quality is awful. But I knew that.

So, Please don't not blast this light because you have no idea what you are doing. Make life easier on yourself, but a sony handycam with night vision, this light makes the room about 70% brighter.
