Rotolights cost a lot of money for the lux they are offering. They have their special niche in completing natural light.
Every day I shoot portraits all over my studio and in the 100 year old building. There are dark hallways and corners and the elevator (which is a client favorite) and I needed a small constant light that could also go on camera. I love the little Neo 3 - it's a nice addition to my studio arsenal of strobes, flash and constant lights - this one checks the box for the elevator, staircase and the backlit front door. I'm dealing with tungsten, led and natural light in these areas and I can just quickly change the light color to match what's happening and see instant results on the fly. It's nice to have it on camera or on a stand to keep my shoot flow moving and not dragging a ton of equipment and I don't need an assistant for these quick spots. When I need a strobe or flash, I'll use those - but this little light is the little constant light dynamo that I needed. Yes - elevator shots!
in strobe mode, the pro is less powerful than literally every actual flash on the market, or even disposable camera built-in flashes.
Great light but man they are not cheap. Great video as usual Suzi!
Jeremy Parr I was wondering 🤫can this lights be uses with film cameras your truly Jeremy Parr🤔
I am a pro photographer and i own Rotolight gear. This lights are great when used for the right use. Meaning, as a continuous light they are pretty good. However, as a flash not so much. My Godox V860II is brighter. In fact, the Aeos 2 Pro is half as bright in flash mode than my speed light.
So the little light you can attach it to your hotshoe on top of your camera?
These lights are awesome and its not expensive at all. I have apature lights and those are spendy. I love rotolight because of the compactness, sometimes I dont want to bring a big ole lights and wireless. This is the best of both worlds.
A ((( Rotolight / Sony Pocket Flash Important Information )))
Hello for all of the individuals that are looking at Rotolight AEOS PRO & the NEO PRO and wondering if this product is for you let me give you some information that might help you make a Better / Proper decision.
I will be directing my comments about the AEOS PRO and the NEO PRO. If you are working in a controlled environment like a studio where you have absolute control over your lighting. Or if you are using these lights for videography absolutely that’s where these light shine. I would give these lights to 10 rating with videography.
Or if you are shooting outdoors in a very gloomy or cloudy day and you are OK with your lights only being 2 to 3 feet from your subject. Then these two lights will work perfectly fine for you.
But if you are working in an environment where there is a significant amount of window light or your environment has a sufficient amount of lighting provided. You will find that these lights are extremely limiting your creative workflow.
If you notice they never use a light meter indicating to their viewers the strength or the lack of strength the lights provide.
That all being said I have to give the lights credit where credit is due they do have amazing technology incredible technology wrapped up in these lights. It is the power of the lights that I have an issue with and Only the power.
I was sucked in by all of the technology and truly did not realize the environment that they were using the lights in. Either in a very dark environment or very low lit environment. Even when they use them outdoors notice that the environment is very gloomy or cloudy. It is never a bright sunny day. And if they ever do noticed that it is only highlighting the subject making them stand out just enough. But if you try and darken the situation add more contrast to the picture add your creative touch it’s not going to happen in a bright environment the lights are not strong enough.
I have given you a link below of two individuals that has pretty much done the same testing as I have. I think mine was a little bit more precise. That being said I would watch the video all the way through so you’re able to come to your own conclusion.

Just received my Neo 3 Pro! I’ll be using it today.
Nice! I hope you love it as much as I do ❤️
Has anyone compared Neo 3 Pro to on-camera flash?
Nice Mam✌️
Too pricey
I like their products but they're definitely ripping people off. All the accessories are 200.00 plus also. I can find alternative equipment for half the cost. Rotolight knows this and doesn't care. Won't ever use their gear again. I had the older generations of AEOS and Neos. The power and batteries were terrible so I kept strobes.
What are some of the alternate cheaper products you use?
B ((( Rotolight / Sony Pocket Flash Important Information )))
Hello for those individuals that are thinking about purchasing the NEO PRO and the AEOS PRO lights. You need to be aware that these lights are only half the power of a Standard pocket flash. I did a thorough test on these lights with my Seckonic Light Meter for absolute accuracy. I set the AEOS Pro & a on Camera Flash 6 feet from my light meter. I then set my ISO at 500 I set the shutter speed at 250th of a second and my aperture at 2.8 . Using Flash at max power with the AEOS Pro then adjusting my on Camera Flash to match the exact same Power outage as the AEOS Pro . And found that the AEOS Pro was half the power of a 80 W. Pocket flash / on Camera Flash. Please understand what I am saying it is extremely important for you to know that these lights are only have to power of an on camera flash.
Half the power that’s it. If you would like to know more I have placed a comment below this one to give you much more information if you are truly interested.
