The lights come with standard 1/4-20 mounts, and gel clips around the edge. The lights are all available now, and prices range from $249 to $379, with $249 for the PL74, $279 for the PL103, $279 for the PL60, and $379 for the PL90.

With solid aluminum construction, it’s designed for quick assembly and quick camera mounting. A lightweight, portable shoulder rig solution that fits easily in your camera bag. It also features a reversible shoulder pad and snap lock system that makes for a no tool setup. The ELE-ENG starts at $249.
