Comments about Profoto ComPact-R 600 Value Pack, Case (90-260VAC):
I am graduating from MFA program in photography next month and bought this for me to make living by doing photography. These lights are great lighting equipment and the price is great, too. I usually use this product for shooting portraits. This strobes have fan to cool off the light, so it does not damage the equipments by the heat, they have built-in pocket wizard receiver, come with light soft case, which is pretty good for carrying around and also come with hard case, which is great when you have to travel with these strobes. I am very satisfied with this product.
The negative side would be,,, the light stands, which do not seem to be strong enough to hold these light heads, although I have not had any problem with them yet. Another negative side is the head is VERY long!! This is monolight, so it has all the controller within the head, but it is still long!! Although, to use it, I have never had any problem, it just looks a little weird. For photographers who want to use lights in small places, this light might be a little too big.
Other than that, this product is great!!

Needless to say if you know lighting you know the reputation Profoto has. Therefore I wont harp too much on the lights themselves. I will tell you they look incredible, are very adjustable as far as output goes, recycle in about a second, and come have many accessories avail to customize them even further. Really top notch stuff.
This combo is great for the money only if you add up the lights, Profot reflectors and Temba carrying case. You also get a Profoto brand carrying case that fits the stands and umbrellas as well so you actually get two carrying cases, both high quality. The umbrellas that come with this kit (Westcott 42") are "adaquate" but by no means do these lights justice. The stands are, in my opinion complete garbage. I couldnt even find a brand name on them. These kits are put together by Profoto, therefore dont blame B&H for the quality of the stands and umbrellas. The stands are flimsy, feel "cheap" and I simply would not trust them to hold such a fine piece of lighting alone, much less with an umbrella or softbox. Personally, I purchased this kit, a Profoto softbox, a Profoto large umbrella and two Manfrotto heavy duty stands. You still save money buying this kit and replacing the stands and umbrellas as I did taking into account the cost of the strobes, Profoto reflectors and two carrying cases separately.

These lights are great, very accurate and consistent. The kit comes with a nice bag, two standard reflectors, two umbrellas and two stands. The only thing I don't like is the stands are not really strong enough to hold these somewhat heavy lights. Other than that, this is a great value.

These are great lights! Very easy to use and consistent light with super fast recycle time.
These are simply the best quality light and the most professional quality and brand name. Perfect for travel use or frequent on location lighting.
