    Purchased to photograph items for sale on web site, and for portraits.

    Quality of product is better than I expected for the price. Very easy to set up and use. Would recommend this product to first-time user.

    Only complaint would be lack of storage case or travel bag.

              Theses are my first set of Light stands. They get the job done. Seem to be strong and definitely worth the price. I rigged them so I can fire them from a wireless trigger.

                  I have been searching for a long time and doing much research into finding the right strobe lights. Its the perfect kit. Also, I have a very small apartment, and these lights barely take up much space!

                        I bought this kit as a last minute addition for a photo shoot. It was very easy to assemble, light-weight and up and running within minutes. However, the actual output is not that great and for beginners it's a little difficult to get the lights set up just right in order to avoid heavy shadows. For the price it definitely did its job and I will be using this kit in the future for product photography and hopefully portraits too!

                          I thought full time professsional work would entail very expensive equipment, but after several
                          successful sittings and very satisfied clients.
                          I must admit the kit has paid for itself.

                            I was hesitant to purchase the product, because I thought that I would quickly "outgrow" the capabilities of the Flash Kit. Now that I have had it for a few weeks, I am very satisfied with it and now my only regret is that of not having purchased it earlier. This kit is an invaluable tool for gaining experience with studio lighting because of its portability, reliability and low cost. I do wish however, that it did come with a bag to carry the equipment with, the "corrigated" carrying case mentioned is just a card board box, though I half expected that. [...]
