Great light but could use some work!!
Before I ordered this product, I always read reviews regardless if a product has five stars or one star. One customer stated that he lost his GoPro while diving; I assume with this light. I thought about what I could do to prevent that from happening. So I did some testing with different GoPro accessories, weight is a significant factor when I did my set up. It may alter the way a person would normally have it on just a selfie stick even though the GoPro mounts on top of light itself. I would hate to have the same mistake as him. I went ahead, and gorilla glued the locking mechanism so it would not fall off (See picture). I saw that it did not have a proper way for it to lock in place. Although it slides in place giving it the slightest jerk could cause it to fall off. While scuba diving, I do not have worry about it falling if I am on a drift dive or night dive. Don't watch $400 fall to the bottom of the sea seal it with Gorilla Glue!!
Pros:
Bright light
Light Filters
Waterproof
GoPro Compatible
Light Weight
Cons:
Mounting socket does not lock properly
UPDATE: I took this light night diving and it was amazing!! The light was bright enough to use as my primary light (Although I took a secondary just to be safe). A lot of other divers had to use both hands; one with a dive light and GoPro in the other. I was able to use just one hand and actually enjoy my dive. I definitely recommend this product!!
I used the low power when taking the pictures and video.

great light that works well in Saltwater
I had owned maybe the first version of this light which i had attached to my gopro and dropped it in the water no more than 30' It stayed lit for maybe a full minute never to work again. I took a chance on this latest model because it was so inexpensive. This light is great. I have used it multiple times with my gopro 3+ in salt water. Ive taken it down to a depth of 212 ' The light stays on for about 2-3 hours on its highest setting. The beam is wide, and illuminates the darkness maybe 3' well but i think more like up to 8' in total (it is hard to tell distance from the underwater video i have captured) I originally had wanted to see what the ocean floor looks like in hopes of catching Halibut, but have found that i know just like to watch all the underwater critters this rig (Gopro Neewer light) capture. The photo is around 150'

This light is much better than what I expected for the price
They are bright and inexpensive. For the price they are by far the best underwater light I've played with. I actually use four of these lights with a DSLR underwater and combined they they are about as bright as a fancy $300 dive video light for a fraction of the price. The light clips to the hotshoe mount and that connection can come loose (and the light fall off) so make sure the light is fully clipped place and you hear a "click" or it may come off underwater. The color filters are kinda useless as they are too weak but the light itself is a true white so no need for them anyway.

It's recommended.
The ocean is almost black, but this light illuminates everything. It works great under water, but I don't recommend it as your main flashlight. After my tests, it doesn't seem to keep a hundred percent brightness for a long time. Since our time under water is also very short, there is no problem within two hours. I used it to get some very clear pictures of jellyfish, which will be recommended to those in need.

Nice compact video/dive light at a reasonable price
Nice compact video/dive light at a reasonable price. I use mine with an Olympus Tough in an Olympus housing with two Sea & Sea strobes, as a video light, and sometimes as just a dive light. Works well, would like one with more power, but at the price this is a good light for occasional video use.

Solid performer for what it was meant to do.
Bought this to use during Thai new years and any filming being done at night. Getting splashed is a constant threat so this serves its purpose in that regard. Otherwise will use for hair light or accent lighting in some hidey hole locations. You have two levels of intensity and a strobe which would make some sort of sense I guess if you're underwater but otherwise it's just an irritation to me. Would be better to have more adjustment to light levels. Solid little unit.

Bright sturdy lighting for my GoPro at a great price!
I recently purchased this to use with my GoPro Hero 8 with Media Mod.
I saw videos and reviews of the GoPro Light Mod that showed the limitations of its 200 lumen strength. The Neewer light is over three times brighter (700 lumens) at half the price of the GoPro accessory. It is sufficient to illuminate a medium sized room and subjects within 20 feet.
The light is heavier than the Gopro, but comes with a sturdy cold shoe mount that can be tightened against the Media Mod case. Filters for color correction and diffusion are included.
If you are planning to actually use use light underwater, it's micro-USB charge port is well sealed.

Just what I needed most.
just what i needed so i could shoot underwater and be able to see what i’m doing. the light is bright and doesn’t scare the fish away. the color filters are really cool for toned effects, i love the purple. and i can attach my camera to the top so i can conveniently hold them both.

Great addition for underwater pool photography.
I will start by saying I just ordered another one. Yes. This worked perfectly for me. I am a photographer who is now offering underwater shoots. Gave this a test run a few days ago and it worked perfectly and I was so happy to have it. I am doing my shoots in the very late evening to night timeframe so this was critical to being able to get the camera to auto-focus in the low amount of light I would normally have in those conditions. Light coming down from external above water lighting does get reduced quite a bit and of course has the tell tale highlight areas because of how the surface waves reshape the light beams. My shoot went on for hours and although we, of course, turned it off when not in use and it still lasted the entire time.

Question & Answer
Question :
Can you stack these to double youor power?
Answer :
Well, you can stack them, but not sure about doubling your power... maybe give you 2x coverage, but the beam is not going to penetrate (throw) farther (law of inverse squares and all that stuff). I bought one and used it along with my goPro for recent diving trip. Good for illuminating and fill relatively close (maybe 2 - 3 feet). About what I expected and am generally pleased with my purchase. No problems encountered (about 15 dives to max 75 feet). Battery good for 3+ dives, maybe more - I turned it off when not actively using.
Question :
how many watts the battery has?
Answer :
Manual states 1900 mAh and charge voltage would be (theoretically) 5V; that would make the battery output 9.5 Wh.
milliamp-hours to watt-hours calculation
The energy E(Wh) in watt-hours is equal to the electric charge Q(mAh) in milliamp-hours times the voltage V(V) in volts (V) divided by 1000:
E(Wh) = Q(mAh) × V(V) / 1000
So watt-hours is equal to milliamp-hours times volts divided by 1000: watt-hours = milliamp-hours × volts / 1000 or Wh = mAh × V / 1000
Question :
Will this work for the gopro hero 8?
Answer :
It works for any camera underwater or above. There is no mount on the hero 8 for this light but if you have a camera rig with extra attachments it will fit on those.
Question :
will thsi light mount to a gopro compatible tripod or grip mount?
Answer :
Yes. I mounted mine on a "pistol grip" and my goPro on top of the light, angled slightly down. It comes with several adapters.
Question :
It’s works good for photos and videos at night in the street?
Answer :
I do not know, I have never used the light above water, but it does not work very well underwater unless I am shooting less than a foot away.
Question :
Does the light come with the waterproof case?
Answer :
The light doesn't have a waterproof case the light is a waterproof case is built together doesn't come apart.
Question :
What is the battery capacity (1100mah?)
Answer :
You're looking at about four hours on low, maybe two on high. It WILL dim as the battery runs down
Question :
when storing it, should i remove its battery?
Answer :
NO
Question :
How many hours to fully charge? The intruction book doesn't say.
Answer :
Takes about three hours on first charge to be safe. You will see the light inside turn off. Be mindful that it gets STUPID hot sometimes. Be sure to use a wall charger as opposed to a computer as mine at least didn't like to charge from USB
Question :
Can i attach it to olympus tg4?
Answer :
Honestly I bought this for my Go Pro Hero session,and it works with that,it comes with a few different attachments that seem to me,would attach to different Cameras,but I'm not 100%. It's a great light,3 modes and the filters are awesome,give it a shot if it doesn't fit return it.
