Yes, this will work What we love about LitraTorch 2.0 Compact Size Waterproof Rugged build quality Good battery life 3 different lumen settings
What's not so hot about LitraTorch 2.0It would be better if colour temp was an accurate 5600' K to match in with other lighting fixtures.
White Diffuser - a soft rubber round diffusion cover that easily mounts to the front of the LitraTorch 2.0 torch and softens the light for the three different settings 
Belt Clip - simple clip mount designed for mounting to your belt also works great if you want to hang it off the peak of your cap when you need to work hands-free.
GoPro ¼ 20 Finger Mount - great if you already have a large collection of go pro mounts in your gear bag means you can use those to mount the LitraTorch 2.0. 
USB Charging Cable - Mini USB to USB cable - can be used with computer or USB power plug a fully charged LitraTorch 2.0 will last up to 4 hours and 45 mins on the lowest setting and up to 45 minutes on the brightest setting.
Magnetic Mounts - 2 sides of the LitraTorch 2.0 have magnetic mounts so you can attach it to any metal surface pointing out or pointing up also included in the box, are 2 metal disc with double-sided tape so you can stick them where you want the fixture and use the magnetic surfaces to mount the LitraTorch 2.0
Cold Shoe Mount - for mounting the light to your camera fits the back or side ¼ screw mounts on the fixture. What results should you expect from the LitraTorch 2.0?If you know how to light a subject whether a person or product, then you will instantly see how the LitraTorch 2.0 could be beneficial in small and compact lighting situations where the location is lacking in a good amount of natural light to get your shot, especially when you don't have access to a Hollywood Grip truck to solve your lighting issues. A good on-camera top light for keeping good exposure on the face of your subject in harsher lighting conditions for outdoor interview situations as well. Note that this light is a bit higher colour temperature than standard professional daylight fixtures that usually measure at about 5600K so you need to be aware of this if you are using it in a combination with other lighting fixtures. Features of the LitraTorch 2.0 that we love.
Compact Size: This is such a small light that also has a great build quality - its aluminium housing certainly feels great quality and you can literally fit this in the palm of your hand, inside your pocket. The LitraTorch 2.0 measures in at 3.8 x 3.8 x 4.1cms and even though its made tough it only weighs 90 grams. 
Light Intensity: We are not sure we can quite get over the sheer output of this really tiny light, it has three lumen settings, a low, mid and high and it's colour temperature is 5700K which 90+CRI colour accuracy - this means it works well in daylight situations and won’t affect the colour of the skin tone or products when using this light. It’s flicker-free and the beam covers about 70 degrees all from just 16 little LED lamps set up in a small matrix leaving no hot spots on your subject just an even throw of light to improve your shot.
Waterproof: This is the second reason we would take the LitraTorch 2.0 with us just about anywhere, its waterproof up to 20m in depth so whether you location shoot has a sudden downpour these little fixtures will survive or you want to go snorkelling with your latest action camera - like the GoPro or DJI Osmo Action in some dark underwater cave then the LitraTorch 2.0 is a great way to light the underwater scenes. 
Magnetic Housing: Stick this little light to any metal surface and no need to worry about lighting stands or mounting brackets to get light where you want it, such a simple idea that makes mounting this little light almost anywhere super simple. What's the Alternative?If you want to compare the LitraTorch 2.0 to something else then we hear that the Lume Cube would be pretty similar although we haven't had the chance to test it out ourselves.
