But that wouldn't give people something to moan about

That's the one I use. Cheap as chips and does it job well. Avoids the carp taxed named ones too 👍

Let's get back on topic. I don't think the OP will be lighting up the whole lake with that attachment, especially as too bright a light won't give a good photo anyway, so who's got any advice on how to take a good photo with it?

Thanks for the input guys, I've gone ahead and ordered the one in my original link
Any tips on the best way to use it still appreciated though. Was going to stick it on a bankstick, slightly higher than kneeling height and at 45degrees to the subject?
Also found an old cheap tripod in the garage so will use that to mount my phone rather than balancing it on a couple of stacked buckets

I have the Rhino clone
and was told the best lighting to avoid shadows was to make sure the light was higher and slightly angled down ?
sadly due to health issues I have not got round to using it though worth experimenting
@ doing a brew >>>and what a cracking fish Rob

If its the dominant light the shadow can be ugly and obvious if you go off to the side. It's tricky as these lights aren't very powerful in photography terms. With a flash I'd say get it high and move it back but these lights haven't really got the guts to put them 10+feet away.
Get close to a dense background tho and test it in the garden to see how far away you can put it before the phone starts struggling

Brilliant shot
Light arrived from Amazon today and after a quick test in the garden it looks like it's going to be perfect for me. It throws out enough light to allow the phone to focus and pics are plenty good enough for me. Still need to play about with positioning for best results and might get a second to help reduce the shadows but all in all I'm well happy.

I've said it a lot, but get the light higher than your eye level, this makes a big difference.
It just looks so unnatural when you light a face from below

Going fishing during the night and having not a single source of light is the worst thing for an angler. When I was younger, my grandma's brother took me to fish with him at a lake near our city. We stayed there for an entire day and night. During the day, we caught some small fish, but we were expecting the sunset to find the bigger ones. We brought with us a few head-lamps equipped with smart light bulbs to help us see better the waves created by the movement of the fish. We were pretty lucky and caught in that night around one bucket and a half of fish.

@doingabrew do you use front or rear phone camera to get those results with the light?

It really does make a big difference. The lighting plays a huge role in the final result of the shoot. Recently, a friend and I went night fishing, and we caught more fish than we did in the morning, which was amazing. We even have a photo from that night. I will attach it later. If you decide to have a photoshoot in the evening at home, you can use the misfire-proof LED flood lights. You may ask why explosion proof lights? Because you're just bombastic!
