In this episode, we take a look at the new Lupo Kickasspanel RGBWW LED light. This little professional grade light is designed for on-camera use (e.g., news, walk-up interviews, documentary) but for my corporate video work, I’ll use it more as a hair, rim, or background light. Because of its lensed LED design, it can throw light a lot farther than most other small LEDs on the market, making it a lot more useful. In this review, we take a closer look at the color quality, output, controls, build quality, and powering options.
