Air bulbs have been around for donkeys, work well but can be fiddly to set up. My go pro is pretty old now, I reckon it would work with a bulb but not something I'd do. The ultra wide angle wouldn't be my choice for a catch shot.

If you want to use it then have a play with the time lapse settings rather than buying anything.(although you will need to spend a few quid on lighting)

Rhino beams are popular

these look like a more modern version

They don't have a huge output, two would give you cleaner images than one

Just bare in mind you'll need a way of supporting them. Best to set them high up so a long bankstick or storm pole. You'd then need something to fit it to the storm pole, a gardner camera angle works OK,
I prefer these as I have a few anyway and they fit nicely on cygnet storm poles without having to screw anything. I also have a few triple cold shoe adaptors to use multiple lights on one pole.

It'll be a bit of trial and error on your part there, I like to put it high behind the camera so the shadow is hidden. With a flashgun I like to have it at double the matt to background distance but leds haven't really got the guts for that, 6-7 feet is about the max with them
