Would this work as a handheld off camera light on location for dog photography?

Scout, this beauty dish is too large and heavy to use handheld. However, a medium-weight light stand holds it just fine. If you're using your off-camera flash wirelessly, this beauty dish is a convenient way to get great soft light on location.

It would, but you could not hold it yourself and shoot at the same time......not heavy, but not manageable for one person.....if you have an assistant....different story. If you're looking at something that you can hold and still shoot, should be looking at Rogue

Hi.. It would work if an assistant would help. It is hard to be held with one hand. It is best used with a mono pod or tripod. The dog has to stay still to maintain the light hitting it's face or body. If moving a lot, then you have to choose the right moment to catch the best shot. Good Luck.

No I do not think this light would work well for that. It is bright but only for a small circle area under its top. The light doesn't project well. I think you would be straining your eyes.

If you are taking stills I would not use this. It is great for doing interviews with a video camera though - it give a good 6-8 feet of light for videotaping subjects. I have used it to shoot many interviews with bands and it works great for that purpose.

That's going to depend on how dark the subject is. It works great at arms length. 12 feet as the other commenter said? That would be pushing it I think. Maybe as a minor fill light, but not as a primary light.

No, I don't think so. It's more of a feature light, where the distance between the feature and the light is like 5 feet. Think "small piece of statuary" or "small pond feature". Anything bigger/farther away from that will need a genuine spotlight, and probably one fed with 110VAC at that.

As long as you have a hotshoe on your camera, yes. Just take into consideration that this is a light suited for video rather than still photography

Yes the light works independent from the camera. It has its own off/switch. You can use it as a flashlight it you want.

No. This is better for close-up photography. You would be better off with a speed lite.

It can be used that's what I got it for you just have to be careful where you mount it. It does not have a very good picture it is very dark. I would not buy it. It's not very good.

Andrea W. I would think so, but I have say that I do not use this meter for photography. I use it for checking light levels in parking areas and around ATMs. It works as well as some higher priced ones I and some co-workers have used.

Not to my knowledge. I do not use it for that purpose and am not certain what type of lighting would be helpful to you. It sounds like you would need an infrared device.

Yes it will work but you need the correct off camera dedicated cord, about 15 to 20 dollars and it hides all the shadows like magic.

You would have to check the lumen ouput over the area of lighting9photo metric data)Most likely not but you could use 4 and probabbly come close.

Probabally not unless it was very close to the light. Indirect sunlight outdoors is not enough. However, this is a great choice for outdoors and it sure beats batteries and an on/off switch!

Probably. The lighting works well for podcasting. It's easy to assemble and carry. Good setup directions.

I don't think so. THis is a very small spotlight. Although I purchased it to showcase art, I ended up attaching it to my lamp for bedside reading and on a thermostat to check temperatures in dimly lit spaces.

not a chance.......its good for hanging pictures in the house in the dark because the laser is pretty week and would barely do that for you . not something i would suggest to buy i guess if you want to use it seriously. if you are...rent one for a day, youll get much better results.
