StudioFX H9004SB2 2400 Watt Large Photography Softbox Continuous Photo Lighting Kit 16" x 24" + Boom Arm Hairlight with Sandbag H9004SB2 by Kaezi

To begin, ensure that the stand's height is lower than your own. Isn't it self-evident? Then, when you've reached the LAST ROD, lower the stand, sit down in a chair, and insert it. I'm not kidding when I say that sitting while putting in the last rod makes a huge difference. It was an absolute nightmare trying to get that thing in standing up. Just give it a shot. =)br>br>Let's move on to the review. These are fantastic lighting fixtures. I've had a lot of fun with them over the last few months, and they're a lot of fun to use. I've told my friends about them, and I'd buy them again. Later, I'll upload a picture. br>br>If this is your first time purchasing soft boxes and you aren't familiar with lighting, I would recommend researching 3 point lighting and purchasing grids to go over them to create more beautiful focused lighting that doesn't spill everywhere. These will work fine without one, but they will give you better results if you use one!.

The lighting has a great impact on me. The product was well-made, and the setup was a breeze. It's unbeatable value for money! A portrait lens with an aperture of f1 was used to take the photo. ISO: 8200 This photograph has not been altered in any way.

YGWYPF. It's a good buy if you're looking for a low-cost light kit to see if this is something you want to pursue. you will have everything you require There were, however, a few issues to be concerned about.
1. The instructions for setting up the game are a little hazy. It took me around 2 minutes to complete. The first time I set it up, it took me 5 hours to figure out the best order to put the soft boxes together. It'll take about 30 minutes once you've got it figured out. [Hint: finish with the lights last!]br>2. When you take something apart, it has a box or a case to go into. At this price point, it's a nice touch.
3. The stands and light boxes are of good construction quality. The stands aren't "professional" quality, but they're adequate. It should be able to withstand a lot of hobbyist use for a long time. The soft boxes have a good build quality as well. The setup is a little difficult, but an umbrella-style mechanism would have increased the cost significantly. br>The light heads are the main reason for the low score. On the surface, it doesn't appear to be a bad situation. When you put the ribbing in to support the soft box, however, the point where the metal rod connects to the plastic is plastic, and you have a metal rod under tension to hold the SB in place. I noticed that the plastic at the point where the rod enters the head is already (one setup! ) is beginning to deform as a result of the tension. This isn't promising in terms of long-term viability. The problem could be solved by using a stronger/thicker plastic or metal reinforcement at the insertion point. I would have given the product a four out of five stars if not for that issue.

It took less than an hour to put this together. However, it took more than 15 minutes to complete. They work well and provide pleasant illumination. br>There are two reasons why this item did not receive five stars:
1. One of the bulbs popped and burned out after about 30 minutes of use.
2. The item I received appears to be in good condition. The boom arm was scratched, and the handle for tightening it to the stand was broken. br>br>I'll contact the seller to see if I can get a replacement for these two issues. br>When transporting these items, care must be taken. br>I had a hard time figuring out where the softbox should go on the sticks when I was putting it together. The velcro strips on the corners do lift up, allowing for the insertion of sticks. It may be difficult to get into this space at first.

I'm a self-taught actor who uses this set to practice my craft. Photographs and tapes (auditions). With a few exceptions, I enjoy the setup overall. My overhead light is no longer functional because a piece of the pole that holds it together broke off, and the pole will no longer extend and lock into place. The pole is split in half and one half is inserted into the other. In addition, the piece that encircles the light bulbs - It's one of the four individual pieces that make up the light's four slotted light bulb section (it's tan in color) - The bag was broken in; It was shattered into a number of pieces. A tear has also appeared in one of my diffusers. As a result, the material isn't the most durable, and I'm disappointed in those aspects. Installing and dismantling the setup can be a pain. Aside from that, I'm satisfied with the piece for the most part. It accomplishes the goal. No, this isn't the best setup available, but it does the job.

As a seller on the internet; Great lighting is the key to getting amazing product photos without having to do a lot of time-consuming post-production work. Each softbox has four heads (sockets), with the ability to turn off/on two of the four lights on each head for your key/fill light, etc. They come with 5200K CFL daylight bulbs (quantity of 12 bulbs total - sold separately). For each of the three softboxes, there are four. There are two light filters in each softbox. one on the inside and one on the outside of the box- both can be easily removed with a hook Closures of loops Because the boxes are fairly heavy, the stands are sturdy. Another reviewer suggested that the overhead boom be counterweighted with water bottles. He was right on the money. Because they can be top heavy, I have all of my lighting weighed down at the base with sandbags. I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE MANUFACTURER, KAEZI, HAS AMAZING AFTER-SALES CUSTOMER SUPPORT--I had a problem with flicker in a bulb, and they quickly replaced it. I zoomed in to show my setup as well as the insides of the softboxes. NOTE- This is a lighting setup that runs indefinitely. They also generate a lot of heat! Decide whether you want your lighting to be landscape or portrait before you start putting it together. If you change your mind, you'll have to disassemble and rotate each box. This is a fantastic lighting kit. much superior to my previous single head- Umbrellas were used to provide continuous lighting. I hope that this review proves useful to anyone looking for a good light kit at a reasonable price. After using this kit on a daily basis for 5 months, I can't say enough good things about it. (Note: I used a Canon T6i and shot tethered).
