Westcott Gear to Use With Tiny But Mighty Modifier

RGB Ice Light 3 by Westcott

The RGB Ice Light 3 from Westcott is the piece of equipment that changed EVERYTHING for me.  It is my favorite Tiny But Mighty piece of gear, other than the Tiny But Mighty Modifier.  It is an all-in-one creative lighting tool. This handheld RGBWW LED delivers stunning color accuracy, vibrant hues, and pure whites with flexible AC/DC power options, barndoors for precision, and total creative control—perfect for portraits, filmmaking, and content creation.  I prefer the RGBWW version over the bi-color one because it gives me so much more creative flexibility with all the different colors I can create. I designed the Tiny But Mighty Modifier specifically for using the Ice Light 3s for on-location headshots.  You can see how I use them in action here at an event where I adjusted the color of the background to the subject’s preference and took editorial style headshots of them using only ice light 3s and my tiny but mighty modifier. But if you are looking to get IceLights and have a tight budget the bi-color LED Ice Light 3 delivers industry-leading color accuracy and an adjustable 2700K–6500K and is also compatible with the Tiny But Mighty Modifier

In addition to the ice light itself, here are things I highly recommend buying along with it: an extra battery for the ice lights, there’s even a spot to keep it in the case, a few anti-twist tilter brackets and the original dual joint tilter bracket.   So that you can get the lower part of the triangle or clamshell lighting nice and low check out the compact light stand. If you are looking for something that travels well in a standard large suitcase stacking travel light stands from Manfrotto are a great option. If you are doing triangle style lighting, the anti-twist tilter brackets are best used for the bottom part of triangle lighting.  For the upper portions of triangle lighting you could use either type.  If you are doing clam shell type lighting, you can create a mini boom by using the dual joint tilter bracket put at a 90 degree angle and screwed into the bottom of the battery.  Just be sure to weigh down your light stand.  I use the H2Pro bags from Westcott so that I don’t have to lug heavy sandbags or weights with me.  I just fill them with water when I get there.

Take control of your lighting, no matter where you shoot. This bi-color LED Ice Light 3 delivers industry-leading color accuracy and an adjustable 2700K–6500K range to help you match ambient light or create the perfect mood. The cordless battery grip keeps you powered anywhere, while the barndoors let you shape your light with ease—perfect for portraits, product shots, and filmmaking. My Tiny But Mighty Modifier also is compatible with the bi-color ice light 3. 

Westcott X-Drop Pro Gray Background

Whether I am shooting on-location or in the studio, the X-Drop Pro Backdrop stand stand is what I am using. It is lightweight yet durable. When I am shooting on location I typically bring both the white and neutral gray. I put the neutral gray on first and then the white on top of it. That way if there is any light behind the stand, the struts of the stand won’t show through. If I don’t light the background, the white will fall off to a nice gray. Printed designs and colors I love are blush (you can change the white balance of your ice light to warm or cool the background so it subtly matches the color of your subject’s lips), tiger orange, parchment paper, and grunge concrete.
