There a lot of diy options out there.
A far cry from what the ice light is, but the ice light is just way too expensive.

agreed that it's quite expensive. but you get what you pay for imo. a versatile light in such a small package yet offers a lot of creative options are worth it for me.

You can always rely on China to produce one at close to 1/5th the price.

If you do get it, do post your review here.

Found this at Tmall/Taobao, RMB 599 only, lol~

Just create an account at Taobao and self order, much much cheaper than buy this Ice Light.

As long as western product fail or not apply patent, "China Man" sure going to make a "brother" to match with original tongue.gif

Have you tried this before ?
Their image seems to be mostly renders and really really bad photoshopped images though.
