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.

4-Channel Wireless Radio / Slave / Strobe Trigger Solution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those who are new to this product and looking at it in wonder as to how to replace the battery. The answer is simple, as well as comical. Before you go prying it open (as I attempted to do and got a good pinch for my troubles), or just tossing it in the trash ... try scrapping the "QC" label off. You will find a tiny phillips-head screw that will allow you to easily open the transmitter and gain access to the battery and save your fingers from a crab-like pinch.

2 PROFESSIONAL STROBE LIGHTING UMBRELLA KITS FOR PHOTO STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY Review

Average Reviews:

(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.

CowboyStudio 24" Black / White Photo Softbox Light Tent Shooting Cube BW - 4 Chroma Key Backdrops Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered the Speedlight Lighting kit on Dec. 10th and received it on the 16th from Cowboystudio. It came packaged very nicely in 1 box in quality condition. The first thing I noticed was that there were no instructions on how to assemble the head to the frame body. The stand was very sturdy and folded in and out very nicely. The tricky part was putting the head assembly onto the frame. Without instructions I had a really hard time figuring out how too do it. I went back on Amazon and looked at the pictures included with the product and compared it to what I had received and they didn't match. I was ready to return the kit and then eventually figured out how to assemble the head to the body.
Wow, it worked and I proceeded to attach my Nikon SB-600 and the umbrella to the unit. I set up my camera and took a few test shots and was very happy with the results. I then took a few pictures with out the speedlight on the stand and there was no comparison.
The lighting kit is of good quality once you figure out how to assemble it and I only gave it 4 stars because of the difficulty in assembly.

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.

CowboyStudio Photography Photo Studio Monolight Flash Lighting Light Kit - 2 Studio Flash/Strobe, 2 Softboxes, 1 Background Support System, Black & White Muslin Backdrops and Carry Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I loved my starter photography lighting kit! I'm fairly new to photography and want to learn more about studio lighting. I did some research and Cowboy Studio's basic photography kits came into the forefront. This is the perfect starter kit to take family portraits, still life or other product shots. The description on items included is somewhat of a misnomer. There is one full size backdrop stand, two muslin backdrop cloths (one white, one black), two tripod light stands & two lights. The lights can be used in one of three ways: softbox, monolight/continuous strobe or studio flash, one function at a time. The product description seemed as if there were one of each light. The lights are very versatile. The basic monolight can be converted to a softbox merely by slipping the softbox panel over the monolight. The light can be further enhanced by plugging in the studio-sync cords that attach directly to your camera for studio flash. I recommend buying some sandbags for base light supports to prevent tipping. Pro sandbags are made by other manufacturers but they are expensive. To save money you can use Ziploc bags and a few cubic feet of sand from the hardware store. That does the job. The muslin backdrop cloths are 5 ft. x 10 ft. so they aren't big enough to cover the backdrop stand when fully extended. Bigger muslin cloths of 10 x 13 ft & 10 x 20 ft are available from CowboyStudio as accessories.
I took a few test still life shots and self-portraits and they look great! It's amazing what a little light and some shadows can do for a photo. Don't be confused when assembling the kit. See link below for assembly directions. No instructions were included with the kit. It was fairly simple once I saw the illustrations. The whole kit weighs only 24 lbs. and comes with a bag for the sofbox attachments and backdrop frame. It's a very easy to use kit and of high quality. I highly recommend it. I will definitely buy more accessories from CowboyStudios in the near future. Enjoy.[...]

ePhoto Photography Studio Lighting Kit Fluorescent Photo Digital Video Umbrella Continuous Lighting Kit Set & 6 X9 Black White Muslin Backdrop Background Supporting System Carrying Case by ePhoto INC Kit K103 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm just a wannabe/beginner when it comes to photography, but I think this kit rocks! I really shopped around to find the most bang for my buck & this did it for me.
I received just about everything that's in the picture (2 backdrop stands w/ crossbar, 3 light stands, 2 umbrellas, 3 lightbulbs, 3 light sockets, a white backdrop, and a black backdrop) plus a carrying case for the backdrop stands & crossbar pieces.
The photo shows the backdrop being held in place by two clamps, but those weren't included. The backdrops have an opening at the top to put the crossbar through. It's just like hanging a curtain.
I would've loved an extra carrying case for the light stands but considering what you already get for this price, that might be greedy. I had a 30" rolling duffle bag at home that I was able to easily fit all of the light stands into(without boxes) as well as the boxed bulbs & light sockets. There's plenty of room left over for me to also stash the backdrops plus one or two others.
I received my kit just in time to do a photo shoot with my new nephew. I really think this helped me to get some good looking shots.

PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO CONTINUOUS LIGHTING UMBRELLA KIT + Free 27 Watts 5500K Fluorescent Photo Lamp Bulb Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the package arrived, it said "Photography Eqipment" on the box. The missing "u" from "equipment" made me worry. Opening up the box, I found everything packed quite nice. However, all the screws in the frame were completely rusted. I've replaced them myself instead of going through the hassle of dealing with this company. I have since used this for 10 studio portrait shoots with varying degrees of success. For adults portraits, this set produces adequate light (I purchased 2 and use one as a main light and one as a fill light), but for shooting high energy children it isn't powerful enough unless you shoot at a higher ISO and risk a grainy photo.
