The Rotolight Aeos 2 bucks a recent trend. LED panels aren't exactly ten a penny these days, but there are plenty of ultra-cheap options on the market. They're universally good rather than great, with typically basic features and mediocre build quality. The Aeos 2 takes an opposite path, packing a range of advanced features plus high-speed sync flash into a compact and lightweight, yet fully pro-grade build. The original Aeos was a favourite of many enthusiasts, professional photographers and videographers, but the second edition takes everything to a new level.
