Photography Lighting kit with Backdrops, 8.5x10ft Backdrop Stands, UL Certified 5700K 800W Equivalent 24W LED Umbrella Softbox Continuous Lighting, Photo Studio Equipment for Photo Video Shoot

Updated Review: October 4th 2016 My wife and I wanted to update our initial review from a 3 stars rating to a 5 star rating based on the amazing costumer service we received from a customer service representative by the name of Sue from the seller standbyon. After mentioning the same issues we experienced as we discussed in the original review below, Sue was able to resolve everything within a week's time. It was unfortunate that the initial kit arrived with a few dysfunctional items, but after receiving replacement lights and soft boxes without any current malfunctioning issues, we can only assume that the original items either were damaged during packaging or more likely, during shipping. In either case, Sue was wonderful to work with and she completely resolved our issues. As mentioned in our original review, you are getting what you are paying for; however, it is a wonderful starter kit and standbyon's costumer service was amazing in resolving our concerns. I hope this review helps. Original Review: First, this packaged arrived on time and the external shipping package was undamaged. Ironically, many of the interior boxes were dented due to the two poorly designed bags and one bulb box appeared to be opened prior with multiple punctures and dents in it. This punctured, potentially pre-opened box, may mean the bulb was used and/or tested prior and thus it would explain why it blew 3 minutes after turning it on. Why I Bought This Kit: I recently bought this product for my wife as an introductory kit so she could explore her photography hobby. In general we are happy with the amount of items you get with this kit. However, you do definitely get what you pay for. Pros: -This kit is a good starting point with many of the introductory components a photography might need to get started as a hobby photographer. -The backdrop bars allow for future backdrop growth with wider or shorter attaching bars for future backdrops purchases. However, it already comes with 3 backdrops (Green, Black, White). Cons: - Both of the Softbox diffusers as incredibly unstable (one more than the other). They frequently shift down no matter how tight you tighten the knobs. We had to rig them both in order to get them to stay stationary, but for the price, it's doable. - 2 out of the 4 bulbs already blew out. We hope this is merely the bulbs getting bounced around during shipping, but it is disappointing; especially since one bulb (from the previously mentioned damaged/opened box) blew out within 3 minutes of turning it on. The other one lasted 45 minutes. The other two are holding up well, and we replaced the burnt out ones with new bulbs with out future incident thus far so we do not believe it is an electrical dysfunction with the product. - All of the stands are a bit wobbly, but again, they work and you get what you pay for. - The 2 bags that come with the kit are designed in a manner that doesn't protect any of the equipment placed within it. Sadly, that are very loss and bounce around quite a bit. Yet again, for the price, it is fixable and not an issue. Conclusion: My wife loves the kit, but she is concerned about its longevity and future performance after a few sessions of setup and takedown. We know it is a cheaper set, but we would have hoped the soft box diffusers would have at least all functioned as advertised. It was also disappointing that 2 out of the 4 included bulbs already blew out (within 45 minutes). We hope this review helps.

I recently purchased the NEEWER Photography Lighting kit with Backdrops, and I must say that it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This comprehensive photo studio equipment has proven to be an excellent investment for my photography needs. First and foremost, the build quality of this kit is outstanding. The stands and backdrops are sturdy and well-designed, providing a stable foundation for my photo shoots. I appreciate the attention to detail and the durability of the materials used. It gives me the confidence that this equipment will last for a long time. The lighting components of the kit are simply fantastic. The UL Certified 5700K 800W Equivalent 24W LED bulbs deliver a consistent and natural light source, allowing me to capture stunning photos and videos. The softbox and umbrella attachments further enhance the quality of the light, providing a soft and diffused effect that is perfect for portrait photography. Setting up the kit was a breeze. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and all the components fit together seamlessly. NEEWER has done a great job in ensuring that users can quickly and effortlessly assemble the equipment without any hassle. I also appreciate the versatility of this kit. The backdrops included are of high quality and provide various options for different types of shoots. Whether I need a solid background or a more creative pattern, this kit has it all. The adjustable backdrop stands allow me to customize the setup to suit my specific requirements. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the NEEWER Photography Lighting kit with Backdrops. It has provided me with everything I needed to enhance my photography skills and take my work to the next level. The combination of sturdy construction, excellent lighting, and versatile backdrops makes it a truly outstanding investment for any photographer or videographer. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality, and versatile lighting kit, I highly recommend considering the NEEWER Photography Lighting kit with Backdrops. It delivers on its promises and has become an essential part of my photography setup.

The umbrella lights are surprisingly helpful—ironically, they are actual umbrellas. Be careful with the umbrellas; their rod sticks out at eye-level height. The square lights are incredibly bright. Each light is easy to assemble. My middle schooler put them together when we first purchased them without issue. Now, as a high schooler, he efficiently sets up and tears down the lights for school filming projects and movie contests. The included cases are well-designed for space efficiency, and the light bulbs come in protective boxes (which we recommend keeping). The only drawback is that the cords are shorter than we’d like, which can create a tripping hazard if not taped down. The lights work well in a standard bedroom-sized room, but they become less effective for larger spaces. We haven’t used the screens, as the camera's field of view extends beyond their size. Instead, we found it more efficient to paint a wall green. If someone were to do a photoshoot of a small object, not a person, then the screen would work great. It did not fit our needs. Since we frequently engage in online interactions, these lights help create a more professional appearance on camera. We want to upgrade one day, but this works for now.

I am absolutely thrilled with this NEEWER lighting and backdrop kit, as it has completely transformed the quality of my content. Setting up the 8.5x10ft backdrop stand was much more straightforward than I anticipated, and it provides a professional, clean look that instantly elevates my videos and photos. The LED umbrella softboxes are the real stars here; the 5700K light is crisp and natural, giving me that perfect daylight glow without any harsh shadows. I love how bright the 800W equivalent output is while only drawing 24W, so I don't have to worry about the equipment getting too hot during long shoots. Having the softboxes and umbrellas together gives me so much flexibility to play with cinematic lighting styles, which has been a huge boost for my creative projects. It feels like a high-end studio setup but is simple enough for me to manage solo, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to get serious about their photography or video work.

I originally purchased a cheaper package, battery powered LED lighting, which was not nearly as extensive in terms of lighting provided. That package was junk but kudos to Amazon for allowing return, no questions asked. This array of gear will get anybody started in portrait photography or minor video production. The stands are sturdy for the pricing and the lights are nice and bright and more than adequate. The fixtures themselves are robust and look like they will last quite some time and the carry bags are nice, too. It's not the most costly package out there, but it sure gives you bang for your buck. Setup was easy and quick and all the parts were there. The backdrops are heavier than a stand-alone backdrop I purchased earlier from another manufacturer and will offer some nice choices for backgrounds; again, the backdrop stands provided are more than adequate. My only word of advice is to let the fluorescent bulbs warm up for at least ten minutes before shooting to insure proper color temperature; that's just the nature of the beast. I will probably eventually replace them with LED bulbs, but not any time soon. I particularly liked the little note from the CEO...yeah, yeah, it was a form note, but still a nice touch, plus it gives you contact info for customer service. If you can't get some great shots with this setup, don't blame the equipment. I like 'em.

I debated buying this set up for months, read every review and eventually bought it. I am extremely happy with it. The green screen is perfect for filming one person. The lights and the tri-pods work great. They are not heavy duty but this is what I expected for the price. There are travel bags but if you travel, know this is very delicate. I personally bought it to set up once and that's it. Set up was extremely easy, these guys should teach Ikea about set-up. The green screen does have fold marks but I put in the dryer with a steam refresh. There were still normal wrinkles which freaked me out but overall it did not ruin my first test video. If I could redo my studio this package would be included but.... I would buy a lavalier microphone with a longer cable, I am going to paint my walls green in the studio but would still buy this unit for the lighting and 3 different backdrops it comes with. I am extremely satisfied with this green screen kit for price and functionality. To me these are 3 most important things for green screening, 1. Software ( i use wondershare) 2. A good camera ( I use my phone, Google Pixel XL3 ) 3. Lighting ( I obviously use this green screen kit for lighting.

It's impressive at first when you don't have anything at all. Not saying it's a bad purchase, but the quality is definitely worth the price. After a few uses, it's already become loose and an overall hassle to set up. The included backdrops are also smaller than the max-width of the stand (which is okay) they're just really thin. I'll most likely keep as a backup.

I was skeptical (despite good reviews) about this purchase when it first arrived. Having set it up and using it, I can say that it's a great piece of kit! The only draw back were the included lights, but that's not a big deal. They include 4 CFL light bulbs that tend to washout the subject (even with a diffuser). So I simply replaced them with color changing LED lights and haven't looked back. I can color-grade my subjects (to a degree!) before filming or photographing them to help save time in post-production and editing. It's amazing what color changing lighting can provide without the need for color gels/diffusers! This is such an impressive kit for the price, it's full of the necessities required for properly lighting and filming/photographing your subjects indoors. It comes with two separate bags. One bag is for the backdrop mounts, the poles required for hanging the backgrounds, and tripods to mount the backgrounds to. The second bag is for your background cloths (included are: black, white, green), tripods for the softbox lights, two softbox lights, two umbrella lights and mounting clamps, 4 CFL light bulbs, and 8 clamps for the backdrops. Impressive and it's massively easy to coordinate set up with another person, or to set it up alone. Let me be clear, it's not a $3000 set up, so don't fool yourself into thinking it will perform as such. However, the price for this kit is well worth it and it is something that help your videos or pictures "pop" that much more. For a beginner, this is a perfect gateway into photography and filming and it will make a difference in what you're filming or photographing. Easily 5 stars and I highly recommend it for others.

Good price. Parts are good. Green cloth is small and less quality.

como fotógrafo aficionado, lo considero un kit de inicio bastante completo a las necesidades, llego en perfectas condiciones. En cuanto a las medidas esta mas que perfecto para un cuarto de tamaño medio (podría decirse que incluso parece mas grande) , aun así cumplen con la función y estoy mas que satisfecho. El armado no es problema, en unos 30 minutos tendrás todo el equipo levantado y listo para poder sacar esas tomas que tanto deseas. si de igual forma deseas este kit, considero comprarlo con un tripie para mayor apoyo en el estudio (considero que un estudio en casa esta igual de bien, depende de las necesidades). Saludos!!

This lighting kit arrived this morning. It was easy to set up. I am doing a low-budget photo shoot of some bronze sculptures for an artist. (My previous studio shoots were small items and I used a small, home-made flash setup.) I needed a better lighting system as one of the bronzes I will be shooting (a bear) is a big as a mid-sized dog. I've done some quick tests and the lighting is good. Look, this is not a pro-grade setup that a full-time studio photographer would use. The stands are lightweight, but this is a completely functional studio lighting set. I am most pleased with this purchase. The test photos were taken with this studio lighting. I purchased a blue backdrop cloth at a quilt shop for a few dollars.

Product is good.

I was Looking for a starter Photostudio online and checked out different companies thankfully I found Neewer had the best price with what I was looking for. I've already set up the product (No instructions But Youtube Helped me out) it took a good 20-30 minutes to set up everything came in the package as described. I havent had any problems with the backgrounds being too thin works wonderfully im very satisfied and would recommend to others.
