Litepanels Illuminates Historic First Expedition

Bury St Edmunds, UK: 16 November 2012: Award-winning freelance photographer Natalie Hill used a Litepanels MicroPro on-camera light to help document a world-first expedition by Belgian explorer Louis-Philippe Loncke as he sought to climb and kayak 1,000km across the whole of Poland.

Loncke began his adventure by climbing the Tatra Mountains on the Polish-Slovakian border, the highest peaks in Poland, followed by kayaking from the source of the Vistula River until its challenging waters merge with the Baltic Sea.

Hill chose the MicroPro from Litepanels because she needed to capture video and stills of the four-week expedition day and night and this required portable and reliable equipment. The MicroPro is a fully dimmable, on-camera LED light that can be powered by AA batteries and is compact and lightweight enough to be used with both DV camcorders and HDSLRs.

The Litepanels MicroPro was great for jumping off the boat, setting up and filming in the dark. Ease of use was essential, and I was very surprised by how bright it was, especially given the size of the panel. It was the ideal companion to my Canon 5D Mark III camera, said Hill. The MicroPro has great staying power lasting at least four hours using normal alkaline batteries.

Broadcasters, cinematographers and photographers around the world have praised the MicroPro for its luminous, soft, directional lighting, making it well-suited to both day and night filming.

Hill explained its appeal: I don't really like using flash. I like to be able to see what I'm shooting so I find continuous light much better. It makes it much easier to mould the light when I can really see it right there. I would definitely like to use Litepanels' products more in the future. The MicroPro gave me flexible options and I was very impressed with the performance.
