The Photogenic AKC325K 320W/s Basic Studio 2 Light Soft Box Kit (120V AC) is a great way to achieve studio-quality lighting in-house or on location at a price point that won't strain your budget. The kit is built around the lightweight, dependable StudioMax III flash head. Like its big brother the Solair flash head, the StudioMax III employs Constant Color Technology. While it's quite common for other brands' color temperature to vary wildly when dropping from full to minimum power, the StudioMax III varies a virtually indiscernible 200K from full to 1/128 power. The two 160W/s heads are capable of fast recycling (1.5 sec.) at full power as well as fast flash durations at minimum power which is ideal for capturing every fleeting gesture with subjects in motion like athletes or dancers.

Photogenic AKC160 Reviews

My 2nd One

By Skip
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2015-06-30

I use this Photogenic Studiomax III flash for mostly medical photography and this is my 2nd one. The first I had lasting over 10 years and took tens of thousands of shots. If something last that long and takes the abuse of a professional who takes it to two different hospitals in our system. You can't say anything bad about it. It's small, easy to set up and powerful for what I need. A great studio flash for a price that can't be beat from B & H Photovideo.

Good for Portraits

Very easy to use and enough power for portrait setup. The price is right for the job it does. Recycle time is good. Very easy to attach to light stand and easy to operate. Great for beginners.
