Ok, full disclosure… I’m a complete amateur. The kind that gets a few compliments because of a few cell phone snapshots and then decides they need to a dslr only to realize just how much phones do the work for you. So far, I reaaaally suck on that dslr. Everything is dark. I hate my photos, and I kinda want to cry that I spent so much money on a camera I clearly had no business buying for a “weekend hobby” when my cell phone works just fine with no extra equipment. Flash forward, I put the typical armature’s research in and decided I could fix all of my problems by buying a light kit. I skimmed a few articles on google, read some reviews on Amazon and pulled the plug. I bought a kit. Not this one. Another one. I set it all up and found out I still suck at the dslr. So… I do what any self-respecting amateur does. I decided I would buy more gear.This time I put more into the research before deciding. Based on the kind of photography I am interested in this kit seemed to fit the bill so I dropped another chunk of change in an attempt to get the pieces for a kit that would actually do me some good.The kit came. The equipment looks like it is in good shape BUT IT WAS MISSING PIECES! I’m devastated. Obviously, I’m going to continue being terrible at photos because the pieces I was looking most forward to using were the exact pieces that didn’t come. I grumpily reach out to Amazon, who was zero help btw. Asked a ton of questions and had me thinking they were going to do literally anything only to have them tell me reach out to the manufacturer. Did they even attempt to give a small tip on how to figure out how to get ahold of the company? Nope. Now, I’m feeling extra fussy. My fame and fortune as a famous photographer is shot. I know I am way too stubborn to put these items back in the box and ship them back for a refund. I’m going to put this kit in the closet and stop picking up stupid hobbies.… except then I found a business card in the box.So… I emailed the company and told them in as many words how unhappy I was with the kit. (keep in mind the missing pieces in no way, shape, or form will actually improve my personal skill level shooting photos and don’t really matter in the grand scheme of life. I’m cranky and I need a reason to suck at photos that has nothing to do with me.)They responded, slowly, adding to my aggravation. While I waited for a resolution, figuring since the parts that were missing were so stupidly unimportant, I likely wouldn’t get more than a “sorry”, I dug out the kit and begin playing around with it. It’s actually a h3ll of a kit. There are plenty of different styles of umbrellas and soft light boxes. I was able to line them up and start playing around with angles and reflector colors to see wth happens to make photos work. The kit was extremely easy to set up. The stands, even though the kit was super cheap, were almost identical to the expensive ones I bought in my first set. I now regret buying the first kit even more. By the end of the first week, I stopped caring that the pieces were missing. The kit was good. Better than good. I was actually having fun playing with my camera even though my photos still suck. That’s all I really wanted anyway. Something to entertain me, right? (yup.)Well, today I came home and there was a box at my door. Turns out the company more than made sure I would be happy that I bought my kit from them. Going forward, any new ideas I get about purchasing gear, my first stop will be with this group because if it’s not perfect, they will make it perfect. …Please note, I tried not to be mean in my emails with the rep because you know the person answering those emails isn’t the person sending out the kit from the Amazon warehouse. If you order this kit and it’s missing something. Don’t be a jerk. There’s a lot of parts and statistically, a few people will wind up not getting every single item.Back to the kit. It’s a h3ll of a kit like I said. If you’re an amateur, or you need the bare bones, get this kit. It might be a little more or a little less money than the other one you’re looking at but it’s worth it. The pieces are solid, they fit well where they are supposed to go. The screws are loose enough you can unscrew them without tools (unlike the other kit I bought), and strong enough to hold firm without having to crank down tightening them. The hold their weight well and despite an amateur knocking them around fumbling to set up, they aren’t easy to scuff and scratch (so far). The wrinkles came out of the back drops with a little wash and a pop into the dryer on a low setting. I wasn’t a fan of the clips because I kept breaking them but then I realized that the design is actually good because the feet popping off kept me from breaking them when I was letting them snap closed.The lighting is good too. Strong light doing exactly what strong light is supposed to do. A good variety of pieces all easy to set up and tear back down. Same for the backdrop frame. Very easy to put together and holds up well. The kit overall does exactly what it’s supposed to and has a pretty good quality compared to the price paid. More importantly, the company behind it cares both about the products they’re sending as well as the customers their serving. That makes it a 5 out of 5.

I'm a pro and needed another whole new set of lighting equipment for another room.The box it shipped in was heavy and took me a while to unpack and setup, but I was pleased because everything included exceeded my expectations.The lighting equipment is super duper quality for the price. Its not the same as my pro equipment because the metals a bit thinner but if you are gentle, it should last a long time.It included a soft nylon bag to store all the pieces which is great, but I prefer to store it inside a hard case to keep it extra safe.This is a good choice for video and photo work for a beginner or a seasoned pro.I think the 65 watt bulbs are much too dim for what I use this kit for, but I can rectify that by buying a new set of LED or CFL bulbs. For the price, quantity and quality of items included in this kit, that is not an inconvenience.I have to give this a 5 star rating because this product is a perfect kit for a beginner to purchase. But even a pro can use it too.Its literally the best deal on the internet I've ever seen. I recieved it in two days without any issues.

This is a great set for beginners or photographers who want a light weight travel set. I like the size and light weight of the stands. The umbrellas are thin but they get the job done. The material for the soft lights are thicker and sturdier. I definitely liked how quick and easy it was to set them (the soft lights) up. I did have an issue with my rectangular soft lights but I contacted customer support and it was resolved pretty quickly. The backdrops are very wrinkled but they do come out. The clips that hold the backdrop in place are surprisingly stronger then I thought they would be which is great. The bulbs could be brighter but it’s bright enough. Overall, this set is quick to set up and a great value for the money.

This is my first light kit and I must say it is perfect! Everything comes in nice and orderly and you get a lot of bang for your bucks. It comes with all you see. You get a nifty duffel bag to put all the tripods and rigs. It comes with a lot of hook ups and things and a manual. I like it a lot. The bag quality is not too bad but this is not something for heavy hoofing this is a strict studio set up.

Fue de muy buena ayuda!!!Perfecto para empezar en la fotográfica y aprender.Saqué mis mejores fotos con este kit!

I mean okay, they get the job done, but at what cost? They are extremely time consuming to assemble, it's clunky, cheap, and the sheets are so so thin. That being said, I've gotten some great photos because of this set. I wouldn't buy this again, if that tells you anything though.

The product arrived a couple days early. Everything was secure in the box with no missing pieces. The stands, light boxes and umbrella lights were easy to assemble and once plugged in and turned on, everything worked great!! I haven't taken the green, black or white backdrops out of the packages yet as I've been using new holiday backdrops I purchased for Christmas photos. I have a room that I am using for a small photo studio so I haven't moved the backdrop stand at all, I have adjusted the height several of times for children, pet and adult portraits with no issues at all. The item is like anything else, it will last if you take care of it. The clamps securely hold the backdrops but does no damage to them. I am very impressed with the lighting and do move the stands up and down and all around the room where I need them at the time. I would definitely recommend this kit, especially for beginners as it is so easy to set up and works great! Ive shared a few photos of my boxer modeling to show the light it gives off in a dark room and how everything looks.

Thank you...
