Is this light to carry for hiking or travelling?

I think is right for the price, meaning that is not the lightest tripod and you will get tired carrying it long distances. For long trips you will need a carbon fiber tripod knowing they cost way more. I recommend you find a store and feel the weight in your own hands and assuming you can't just get the same weight with other stuff in your backpack and see how it feels for you. I personally use it for short trips of no more than 2 - 3 hours. I also have to say I use a pretty heavy ball head so you have to take that into account. Anyway it is an awesome tripod

It's heavy. I wouldn't recommend using it unless you're a professional and you have a way to transport it.

No problem for a day hike but out of question for a multi day hike unless you have a sherpa... Take a light head to go with it. It weights about 2kg. You'd carry about 10 kg on a day hike and max 20 kg for a three day hike. I would say it depends how much of a sweat you are prepared to give for that one shot. That being said the possibilities are endless to position your kit with this beauty.

It has more flood then other lights I have but it does have good throw. I like the levels of light, I have used the low levels more then I thought I would. I like to carry in my pocket for general use.

Yes, this thing is light! Great for camping trips as well, as you can pack one for two people. My girlfriend didn't mind being closer either. :)

Not to sure. But the light is nice for a bit if your looking to walk the dog around the block it might be for you. If your planing going on the job don't buy.

No. The light is pretty weak. The spread is good however. As someone who has bought different portable power sources, overall this is a very good one for the price. But the light is an add-on that's nice, but hard to use for anything other than very light duty flashlight. Peter

No. It's a great light but trying to take it to gigs in the box is inconvenient. It tends to turn itself on when you stick it in the box. A carry bag would ne nice. It's a problem i haven't solved yet

Yes, I prefer to use a helmet mounted light and a handlebar mounted light for trail riding but that's only to have a back-up. This light is plenty bright to light your way on its own.

It is light enough to be portable, but does not run on a battery pack. I have carried it from room to room with no problem. In addition to the 4 levels of light, it also has a + - for each level so you can get just the right amount of light. Great product!!

Well, this product is very versatile and small to carry. The illumination is very good coming from a small and solar light. I am very happy with mine and will buy more soon.

It IS bright, but it is designed to be an area light. There arendifusers over the panel LEDs, so you are not going to see far away with it, but an individual panel is plenty for a trudge to the (outdoor) bathroom. It won't replace your flashlight, but you'll love not needing to use a flashlight to do anything around the campsite.

With a v-mount battery you can carry this light around -- it is a nice portable light for run-and-gun shooting, not hot, light weight, no cord, etc. You can also run it from its cord and transformer. You will probably want a stand for it for conventional video lighting. Obviously, you need a charger for your battery. I like two batteries, so I can swap one while the other charges.

Yes I used it to light a walk way and it works great.Very bright and stays..as long as you have a place for the solar panel

It gives good area light but reading light may be past its limitations. Also the battery limitations (2 D Batteries) may not be efficient for that application, they lasted overnight outside and provided excellent light for people walking in the yard.

I think it would be overkill. It is a tactical light so is heavy and wider than average flashlight. Something much smaller would be easier to handle and right one would illuminate well.

It is pretty bright. Has a single LED light bulb. Because they are so light in weight they is prefect for walking the dog and camping and back packing. They charge quickly during the day. Holds two 2032 batteries in case the solar battery runs low. (It does not charge the 2032s - but they can be easily replaced). Larry P.

you probably could sling it on to your backpack and have it charge stuff while you hike. it has loops on each of the sides for hooking it into various positions on the side of like a building, so you could tie it to the handle of your backpack or something. the weight is less than a pound, so it should not affect you much.

There will be enough light to safely walk around, kind of reminds me of a night light you plug in on your hallway . Keeps you from stubbing your toes but you can't play bean bag toss.
