NEEWER Photography Lighting Kit with Backdrops,8.5x10ft Backdrop Stands,5700K 800W Equivalent 24W LED Umbrella Softbox Continuous Lighting,60cm Light Reflector, Photo Studio Equipment for Video Shoot

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 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.

I've recently purchased the Neewer Light Kit, and overall, I find it to be a great value for the cost. The quality of the lights themselves is quite impressive, providing excellent brightness and versatility for various photography and videography needs. They have a professional feel and deliver consistent lighting, which is crucial for my work. However, there is one aspect that could use improvement: the supporting legs. They tend to feel a bit flimsy and less sturdy than I would prefer. While they get the job done, they don't inspire a lot of confidence in terms of stability, especially in more demanding setups or environments. Despite this, the Neewer Light Kit remains a solid choice for anyone looking for good-quality lighting on a budget. It's functional, reliable, and offers great value for its price. If Neewer could enhance the sturdiness of the supporting legs, this kit would be nearly perfect.

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.

Good quality with easy setup. Works great for portrait photography with digital camera. The carrying case is a great convenience and appears well made. Easy to cary and transport.Incredible value! I wish light intensity was adjustable, but if it was that would change color balance.

This NEEWER lighting kit is fantastic for anyone looking to set up a home studio or take their photography to the next level. The backdrop stands are sturdy snd light, as it weighs no more than 15lbs for everything in the included large storage bag, and the included backdrops give you flexibility for various shoots. The LED lights provide bright, even lighting, and the softboxes and umbrellas help diffuse it beautifully. Setup was straightforward, and everything feels well-made for the price. It’s a great value and perfect for photo or video projects. Highly recommend for beginners or hobbyists!

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.

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.
