Lighting Apparatus For Attachment To A Camera's Tripod Mount And Method Of Use
A lighting apparatus for use with a camera is described. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus comprises one or more light emitting diodes and one or more small batteries contained in a housing. A cylindrical piece extends from one side of the housing and is adapted to removeably secure the apparatus in a tripod mount on the camera. The apparatus is lightweight and compact and provides continuous illumination to a scene (opposed to the momentary illumination of a camera flash) to facilitate the recording of video.
