Do you have a weblink to the base tray you bought? I like it a heck of a lot better than my base tray which has fixed arms. Although it has worked for me, I just like the extra flexibility.

Sure, hopefully posting links isn't illegal on this forum....

My complete setup
Ones a rated 5000lm other is 2000lm
Of course they don't put out that much....

Still, a sweet rig to work with ... I just ordered the base tray from your link. Plus it's not like it's an inexpensive rig! Can shoot both video and photography ... what more can one ask for! As far as I'm concerned, it exactly what GoPro was designed for.

In my humble opinion, it's a nice set-up ... however, it's similar to the one I already have. I prefer more flexibility in the arms to be able to adjust the angle of the lights. Just saying ... no offense intended.
