At NAB last year I stopped by the Rosco booth and saw their new LitePad Vectors: insanely bright 8x8 inch panels that can fit in a backpack. Since then I've got a chance to play with the Vectors and use them on a few shoots. Here are my impressions of the unit and some creative applications that I tried.
Impressions:
At first I found it hard to find a reason to use the Vectors over other LED lights that I had in my kit. The Vectors seemed more traditional and less versatile than, for example, the Aputure Lightstorms that have more "modern" features like remote control and barn doors. Rosco is generally known for getting fixtures into small places (as exemplified with their previous LitePad technology). In this case, the Vectors are no different, and its their biggest asset. Once I figured out the right application for the Vectors (in tight spaces or where you need a very bright portable source) they became a staple of my kit.
