XPRO Professional Studio Continuous Lighting Umbrella Kit

Although this lighting kit is great for the price, it falls very short of \"studio quality\".
The stands and reflectors are fine. They are fairly sturdy, and they are the reason for the large shipping box. I think that if the manufacturer could figure out a way to supply either by turning it into a fabric couterpart, they would.
The reflector covers are made of cheap nylon, and they do a fine job of diffusing the light. But the drawstring design is imperfect, as they slip off easily, and they are hard to install.
The light bulbs are fairly bright, they cast good light, but the set ships with 1 bulb short for all sockets, and some bulbs are loose and I\'d not be suprised at all if lts of people were shipped product with non-working bulbs. My bulbs were all good, but half of them were loosely built (the glass of the bulb rattles around inside the plastic socket part of the bulb).
Make sure you use a long-corded power plug strip with this set. You\'ll need it.
Overall, it\'s definitely easy to use, and it\'s cheap. The value is there. But don\'t expect anything high-end or easy to set up. You get what you pay for. |
