Review on GVM 80W Softbox Lighting Kit - APP Control, Professional Studio Photography Lighting with Digital Display, LED Video Light - 5600K Color Temperature and CRI 97+ - Ideal for Portrait, Product, and Fashion Shooting by Cathy Blount

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good, even light, adjustable, affordable

Buy it for the light and Bowens mount and treat everything else as gravy. The softbox is NOT suitable for on-site use, as you have to attach each individual metal rail of the screen into it. This is a labor intensive process. Comes in a large sturdy box for easy storage. It fits the Bowens mount - and comes with one - so you can have one and fit in any of your other boxes, which is possibly the best option for portability. It seems solid enough and the light is adjustable. This is a good price to get good steady light for your work. They never answered my question about how to replace a lightbulb when it's burned out - it seems to be an English understanding problem on the manufacturer/retailer site.

Pros
  • Good looking
Cons
  • Good but not great
