Lowel DV Creator 55 Kit, TO-83 Case

Comments about Lowel DV Creator 55 Kit, TO-83 Case:

I am a video professional and I have used a number of different setups and rigs for different lighting needs from stage to still photography. The DV Creator kit is a great baseline lighting setup for any type of scene on camera. Lights are easy to setup and tear down if you are on the go. The hard plastic case that this comes with is good not great and everything fits in it when it first comes, so remember how to squeeze it all back in when you take it out.

I think everything in the kit is pro level, but if you plan on fitting everything back in the case after original removal....good luck. I have the hard case, and I'm forced to carry the soft light separately.

A nice portable kit for a good price.

I used the kit for an interview setting, simple 3 point lighting and basic green screen. Perfect for interview though figuring it all out in ten minutes was a little tricky.

The only thing I'd suggest is buy an extra set of bulbs just in case, though I've had no problems.

It's all there, soft lighting, the hard edge, key light, fill light. What's nice is that it's so compact, a bit weighty, but worth the heft.

For interviews, location shoots, more intimate scenes - this kit is the right choice. The tripods lift high enough for moat demands and the selection of lamps and the choice of fixtures works out well.

I would have preferred to get a larger variety of lamps with the kit, but overall it works for me. With a camera in a back pack and the light kit and tripod on a hand truck. I can do by myself, what took two or three people before.

I use this kit in various indoor settings including a studio for news reels and interviews. It gives me the greatest ability to paint with light in diverse situations. Its compact size is easy to store and move around. The best part about it is that I purchased a professional set for an excellent price.

Easy to use and setup. The equipment is high quality and flexible to fulfill my needs.

I bought this to supplement natural light in my documentaries and to light interviews in a naturalistic way. I've used the two tota / one omni kits in the past but having the rifa and pro lights make this one much more flexible. We even managed to light a green screen and interview subject using just this kit and a reflector.

The fixtures aren't quite as solid as the Arri kits, but they're much lighter and they break down much smaller, which was the big selling point for me.

Also, we use the adapter to put 3 CFL's in the Rifa which is great for minimizing heat and risk of tripping a circuit.

The case is pretty tight so if you want to pack many extras in there, you might want to go with the larger case.

I just bought this kit having never purchased a light kit before. I have to say I'm impressed with the quality of the lights and stands that are included in this kit. The equipment is well worth the money for what you get. I really like how the gell holders and gells are included because I don't have to buy them separately. I have used the light kit for two interviews so far and I have to say I'm pleased with its performance.

Pros:
Soft Box is a good size
Larger Stand for the soft box
Gells Included
Nice Long cables
Cables have switches on them


Cons:
The case is kind of small so its quite hard to fit everything into it.
