S-V (401455) KF2U 2-LITE THRIFTY KIT Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While there is no ability to adjust the flash intensity, this is still a very useful lighting set due to the low investment needed to purchase it. An additional recommendation is the quick response and shipping. I chose the standard shipping option and was amazed to have it at my front door only four days later.

EXD200 2-Head Home Studio Lighting Kit INT119 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The infared controller is a must have. I just tried these lights after 20 years away from the buisiness, my how things have gotten simpiler. These lights give plenty of light for an Olympus Evolt 510 which doesn't have very fast lenses. I've been almost able to do all that I want to do. I am ordering a second kit. Two lights are not enough for me. However, for $400.00 these two lights do a nice job, a two soft box set up woud be nice for ebayers, that's what I used it for. I just turned the umbrella down a bit, which is so esy with these lights.
so far I am very pleased, after a week.

DMKFoto 180 watt-second Studio Monolight Portrait Kit with Softbox and Light Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These lights are more powerful than I thought they would be and they work great as slaves. They are plastic so they won't take much abuse, but if you're careful with them they will be fine. I would like to have a cover for the modeling lamp and strobe for protection while transporting.

(More customer reviews)This was the best thing I could purchase on a budget. I have owned this set for over a year now and I have not had any trouble with it at all. Works perfect every time. And for the one guy that was complaining that he couldn't hook it up to his camera, all he had to do was but an adapter that cost 10 bucks. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this to anyone on a budget. Great product.

ePhoto Off Camera Flash Beauty Dish Strobie Flash Bracket Photographic Flash Bracket Flash Mount Beauty Dish For Canon Nikcon by ePhoto INC A120Bracket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the engineered shape and design. It' has a highly reflective silver interior that returns the maximum light from the Speedlights. I LOVE the mounting bracket that attaches to a standard light stand. For $60.00 this offers so many advantages over the DIY Beauty Dish and is something I would highly recommend.
The e-Photo 16' silver Beauty Dish connected up to my Alien Bees 1600's like it was designed for it. First, I really must say; WOW, I had no idea how much light my white Alien Bees Beauty Dish was eating... From the beginning I had to reduce the power down to about 1/3 on my AB 1600 (shooting at ISO 100 with the dish about 10' from my model). I managed to get the feathered lighting effect I love so much and it was exactly where I expected it. So aiming was easy and there was relativity no learning curve jumping from the 22' white dish to the 16' silver dish.
My first attempt with this dish connected to a "Speedlight" was with my SB-800 connected directly to the camera through an i-TTL cable. I have no idea why I decided to connect the i-TTL cable, but thank God, I did. I love this setup and I love this Beauty Dish!!

CowboyStudio Flash Strobe Studio Lighting Portrait Umbrella Kit with Hot Shoe and Carry Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So i got this in a few days back, I have had a little time to play with it but not much.
What you get.
2 Umbrella stands
2 Flash bulbs
2 heads
White umbrella
Black/Silver Umbrella
Hotshoe - PC adapter
Carrying bag
2 PC cables.
Build quality
Umbrella stands - Fine for the price. They extend up to 7 feet in height, easy to adjust, and the bulbs screw right in. They are lightweight and not the sturdiest things out there, but more than enough for thier purposes. any outdoor shooting, you will want to consider beanbags or stakes if you are on soft ground.
Flash bulbs- awwwhh man these things are pretty cool. First time playing with studio equipment so keep this all in perspective. So you plug the bulb into the head, flip on the power switch. A green light lets you know the bulb is alive, the amber light means its ready to fire. I have used these in several settings already and the flash detectors on these rock! Not once have i had a misfire! The flash ONLY when they see a flash! I tried to trigger them by flipping a room light on and off as fast as i could, they wouldnt fire. I have hit shutter speeds of about 1,500 and they sync up pretty good! So far i have been unable to make them slip up, and i have tried! I am shooting with a Nikon D40 with the pop-up flash, and an SB-600. it triggers on either fine. TTL mode is a No-No! as they WILL prematurly discharge off the TTL pre-flash. I set my SB-600 on Manual with 1/64 power and it has no power triggering them even in a large room with vaulted ceilings.
PC Hotshot Adapter. I dunno, it works, but it feels like a piece of junk. I dont know if i expect it to last or not. The PC cables are short also. 4-5 feet tops, so yer better off triggering with a flash IMO unless you want to upgrade the Hotshoe adapter. Honestly, even without this thing the whole setup is still a great deal at this price. So, this is unimportant.
Umbrellas. Not huge, but they seem to collapse / expand just fine. Light weight. Some people complained they got 2 white umbrellas, i got one of each. i rule.
The carrying bag, i have another one identical to this from a 9ft collapsable background support stand from Steve Kaiser. This one is just smaller, other than that, it is a clone. like a Mini-Me.
Anyways, i JUST got the bag in today. Like a lot of people ordering through coyboystudio they forgot to send something in the order, and like a lot of other reviewers coyboy studio immediatly mailed me a bag and got it here quick. great service! That said, the bag is better than expected. I expected a bare bones glorified canvas sack with a crappy zipper. Instead i get a pretty well designed back with an internal compartment on either side with a decent zipper, padded throughout with 1/8th inch padding. it has a side pocket, and can be opened down the middle or on the end. Im sure it will fit everything just fine. if not, i will edit my review. Summary
This is worth the price along for the bulbs, stands, and umbrellas. Throw in a shoddy PC hotshoe adapter that works, and a decent carrying bag and this is a no brainer. I dont think you can possible get better gear for this price. if you can, please let me know, cause im pretty impressed. Everything works flawlessly, and while it is not of professional build, for the price it cannot be beat.
EDIT:
The bag is not really large enough to accommodate the stands, umbrellas, bulbs, and the rest of it..... it fits my manfrotto Tripod and ballhead great though, plus room for my monopod.
have a Hakuba p100 bag, it fits this kit perfectly.

Interfit Strobies STR100 Portrait Kit with Beauty Dish Reflector, Globe Diffuser, Softbox, Barn Door, Snoot, Honeycomb Grid and SGM100 Flex Mount for Nikon Speedlight SB-600 / SB-800 & Olympus FL-36R Flash Units + Tripod + Accessory Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Interfit Strobies set is pretty cool for what it is and how much it costs. Let me explain. I use off camera hot shoe flashes for portrait work. I've used umbrellas and got bored with its simplicity and was ready to take the next step: light modifiers. I would recommend this set for beginners who want to learn to use the tools before investing in "the real deal."
This product is pretty poor quality; it can easily break if you're a brute. However, if you treat the items well, they'll be good to you. The softbox is a little annoying to put together (make sure you preassemble this before a shoot that you KNOW you'll need a softbox for), the beauty dish looks like it was put together with some metal and a glue gun, but does the job. The other items are just fine.
I feel pretty comfortable knowing that when I decide to invest in some real studio strobes, I can comfortably use the modifiers that go along with those lights.
This set is ideal for cheap, light, portable lighting gear, or if you just want to play around and learn by experimenting. Just be careful with this stuff, and DO NOT FORCE parts to fit together (except for the flexmounts on the flashes, that takes some elbow grease).

ePhoto 16" off Camera Flash Beauty Dish Photographic Flash Bracket Flash Mount Beauty Dish Photography Studio Light Lighting Beauty Dish Reflector Dish with Honeycomb Grid for Nikon Canon Flash by ePhoto A120Bracket Honeycomb Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I saw this, I was excited. Here was a nice looking beauty dish complete with a full sized honeycomb filter for my 580EXII. It had the hardware, it was something I could use in front of clients rather than a DIY dish.
I got it yesterday and tried to set up my flash. First thing I noticed after seeing the mounting hardware was that there was no parts list. (There were two sets of metal washers, 2 sets of plastic washers and one knob. I couldn't see anything that required two knobs so i wondered if it was a spare set. I still don't know. Of course there are no directions either. Not even a diagram.
I put it together by using the product pics on the page. After playing with it for a while, I managed to get the assembly onto a stand, with my 580 on the cold shoe. There is an order u must follow to be able to mount the flash to a receiver, mount he receiver to the shoe, attach the assembly to the dish, adjust the flash position and tighten the ball joints.
The cold shoe, is extremely flimsy and tends to tighten to a degree before loosening again. (Almost like it is stripped.)
The dish is large and heavy and puts a strain on the ball joints so they must be very tight or the dish will simply flop down or to the side. The flash can be adjusted to be outside of the dish to inside of the dish but you will need to block the open area with some sort of dark cloth to prevent light from being lost out of the back of the dish.
Maybe it's from the DIY plans I saw but I expected the inside dish to be more of a mirror but the metal reflects the light fine. What confused me was that the reflector dish was positioned with the concave side facing back to the flash. I expected the opposite so the light would reflect in a wider pattern and fill the outer dish before being reduced by the honeycomb.
I took away one star because of its total lack of even the slightest information (like a parts list) so I'd know what those extra part s were for. I took another one away because of the undersized knobs for tightening the head to keep the dish steady.
I don't expect to get a lot of life from this equipment. And while it didn't cost $250+ like other dishes it's not THAT cheap at $90.
At least I have a functional beauty dish that I can use with my off camera flashes.
