It works FANTASTIC. My use of it of course is for lighting up the shadowy parts (shooting from underneath for instance) The Kino ringlight has a dimmer on the ballast (which I have mounted on the cam) and I use a battery belt to power the whole thing.

I've found that I keep the dimmer almost all the way off. I keep it at the point that the ringlight is just barely on. And it just lights up the shadowy areas perfectly! If I crank the light up much past that it begins a washout.

Like most people shooting....I don't use the zoom on the cam at all and do everything via moving physically with the camera. So the ringlight isn't really being used or needed to be used when I'm standing 5 feet away. But when I go up close, for instance if it's reverse cowgirl anal...that ringlight is a real difference maker. So at the beginning of the shoot I adjust the dimmer to just barely turn it on...set it and forget it.

Worth every penny and puts an end to needing a "grip" on set to grab a big light and hold it an angle to light up those type of scenes lol
