If I use a Canon DSLR, would a couple of FotodioX Pro LED-312DS from bh be good lights for "set" use? I see the kit is $140. I don't know how big it is, but it seems awfully small. I also see a Neewer upgraded 400 LED video light on amazon for $80; I don't know if there is a kit option for it, but that seems like another one I might get.
A year or so ago when I was in college I made my directing film with a C300 and a rebel (I think, I know it was one of them), I had a regular video light (I can't remember which one exactly, it may have been an Arri 650W fresnel) and some LED light that had an adjustable color temperature and brightness (don't remember the size but it wasn't necessarily a large or heavy light, more like mid sized). The footage came out great regardless which light I used.
When I did reshoots, I had the DSLR and some old LED light that you put on the hotshoe mount; I screwed the light onto a separate tripod and it worked okay for what I needed. The footage was mostly okay, but sometimes I had no choice but to use a deflicker plugin in AE to mask the horizontal bands rolling up as best as I could; I am assuming it has something to do with the shutter speed (1/50, recording at 23.976fps) and the refresh rate of that light.
If I got a couple of the fotodiox or neewer lights I mentioned earlier, would I have an issue with the lines running up/down?
