Whether you’re a filmmaker, or a photographer, you’ve probably been in the situation where you need some more light. This happens to me a lot, so i decided i needed a Portable DSLR Light. A good one can cost between 50 and 100 dollars, so I decided to make my own for under 10 Canadian dollars. See Step One for the parts needed.
