great first studio light kit
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I recently purchased the three-light kit and it is perfect! Everything comes in a nicely packaged travel case. The instructional DVD is excellent. It guides you through the whole process of setting up the lights, and how to adjust them for your subject. It’s very easy to use. All the portraits I have taken so far have turned out great!
Overall good but had product issues

Delivery time was great. I received an open item product and it was missing quite a few items. But the dealer was very responsive in correcting the situation. They shipped the missing parts immediately and replaced a broken item promptly.

IT’S VERY GOOD FOR HOME USE, I RECOMMEND THE 3 LIGHT SYSTEM SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY ONE LATER, UNLESS YOU HAVE ONE EXTRA LIGHT AT HOME
Disaster.

While this product looks really nice, comes with a DVD explaining everything. The bottom line is: It does not work. At least not for more than a couple of hours if you get a GOOD set. One of the lights blew a fuse presumably during my first big shoot and I had to return the whole thing. Bought another set immediately from Ritz Camera online. Amazon promised to cover the shipping. They did not. Upon receipt of the second set, a light blew in the first 5 minutes! Then, Ritz was uncooperative about the return. Obviously, this product is DEFECTIVE!
Great Product!

This is a great product. With the matt to lay out all the lights and where to set things, comes in really handy.Was able to take reallly nice pictures and with more practice, pictures will improve.
Cheap!!

THis is a horrible product!! It was made from very cheap plastic. The tripods were cheap. I also did not see anywhere in the ad that these are CONSTANT lights. I sent mine back, I am going to spend a little more for a better quality product.

The lights work great, and I like how they fold up. The rest of the information, nice, but not enough. Used the posing mat once, but was kind of cheesy. Be very careful with the bulbs, they have a tendency to burn out easy and get very hot. So shut them off between clothing changes. But over all a good light system to have when you are just starting out.
