In the realm of photography and videography, there exists a prevailing notion among camera enthusiasts that achieving optimal lighting necessitates a hefty investment. However, MarkusPix (Markus Rothkranz) challenges this conventional wisdom. Through ingenious experimentation, MarkusPix has devised a solution using ultra-small, inexpensive LED lights to illuminate videos. 

Specifically, he has repurposed the humble Godox LED36 basic bare AA battery-powered lights as vlogging video lighting with remarkable success. The results are striking: an absence of harsh shadows, an emulation of soft lighting, and an unexpected enhancement in image sharpness and perceived focus compared to shots taken with softer, more diffused lighting.
