G'Day, Brad.  I can only comment on the Light & Motion video light that
Janet has - and uses with the digital still camera.  It's very, very compact
and lightweight and is perfectly suited for macro work with stills.  I don't
know, however, whether you might benefit by a larger, more powerful light
source for video.  (That my tuppence worth!)  :-))
