I know not everyone has kids, but I think this is a great “family” light. To be integrated into activities and to do new things the light facilitates. It helps me create fun moments with them. It was nice to just blast it on high lantern and play for a while, without worrying about battery capacity. The kickballers were playing fun music and we danced and threw the disc and football around the light.

Tripod is a Neewer M521 Desktop Mini Tripod with Arca-Type Ball Head (19.7"), but just get whatever little tripod is on flash sale at B&H Photo (New York) at the moment. I saved $10 USD on this one.

TS27, tripod, other lights, pepper spray, it all will fit into the tactical purse that they have on clearance for $15 at your local Ross or Fred’s or equivalent discount department store.
