Never use an LED light panel mounted on the camera's hot shoe

LED light panels are great for product photography, table top photography and indoor portraits. LED lights are small and powerful, and many are marketed as being "hot shoe mountable", and even supplied with a hot shoe foot. 


Okay, these small LED lights may have a hot shoe foot on them but this doesn't necessarily mean they are suitable for using on your camera's hot shoe. In my experience the small LED light panels are not suitable for use on camera and should be used off camera only, as explored in the following clip:-
