Comments about Profoto ComPact Plus 600 Pro Value Pack Kit (90-260V):
This is the perfect kit! I use it in the studio and on location. It is easy to set up. The lighting is wonderful-excellent tones. The extra large umbrellas are a real plus! I have not had any problems with my stands, as some others have mentioned. My only regret...that I didn't by 2 more. I would recomend this set to everybody.

Comments about Profoto ComPact Plus 600 Pro Value Pack Kit (90-260V):
These compact lights are ease of use. A quick set up at weddings, on location portraits etc. but the stands that come with it are flimsy to hold up the mono packs. I scraped the stands and replaced with more sturdy ones I have at the studio. Other than that, the color temperature and tone is great. I had purchased four 600s mono lights and one 1200 mono light and would consider buying another set of 600s to complete my lighting gear. One last thing if you’re on a budget and still want to look good then I would consider this to a friend. Just be ready to write down the light meters settings because once these lights set and high up above adjusting the knob in back of these packs are time consuming considering you are taking test shots first before the final one.

Comments about Profoto ComPact Plus 600 Pro Value Pack Kit (90-260V):
I have owned both 1200 and 2400 ws Profoto Acute kits. When it came time to expand my gear I added this Compact kit. I have owned them for six months and am very happy with them. If you cannot afford the Pro7 line, this is a great place to start. Unfortunately, the stands and umbrellas are below Profoto standards.
Comments about Profoto ComPact Plus 600 Pro Value Pack Kit (90-260V):
Great way get started in the Profoto system. Don't expect much from the Westcott umbrellas and stands though. The stands can barely hold these heads, and the umbrellas are ok, but not in the same league as Profoto own umbrellas. I was a bit disappointed that profoto didn't outfit this kit with there own excellent gear. But overall a good kit for the $.
