Great price SUPERB Portable Light Box Kit

As a semi-professional amateur photographer, I have many lighting setups with parabolic mirrors, reflective foils, umbrella focuses and just lots of light. . They all do a great job and really set the stage for a great photo shoot. However, they are bulky, heavy, complex and difficult to transport. Since I can't take all my photos outside of the house and I have to travel, I really don't want to do 10 different trips to build my setup. The first few times I was excited to adjust all my stuff to get the perfect lighting and shots, but believe me after about 2-3 times it gets boring very quickly! So I wanted to go with a portable folding option rather than an insanely heavy street machine. I initially focused on the broncolor setup which has everything you need. This is a great setup, but it's also close to 1,000. I've seen some of the cheaper ones on Amazon and figured less than 100 IDs would give one of these a try first. No, in the preface to this, you won't get an Elinchrom Broncolor rig for less than 100, but you will get a rig that does exactly what you want for a fraction of the price but without all the upgrades of the expensive stuff. . This Tecdigbo rig comes with everything, just like its 1k brethren. Lights, reflectors, consoles, diffusers, boxes, tripods, cables and cases. It's literally everything you need and fits into a lightweight bag for easy portability. Everything is of good quality for this price range and I really think it will last a while and not give me any problems. The LEDs are easy to adjust, the tripods are stable outdoors even when it's windy, the drawers are secure and the case is big enough for everything. The only negative I can say about this set is the remote control as it is IR not RF so you have to point it at a light to set it up. I usually set up the light how I want it and leave it as is. So you really don't need a remote control. A fun fact I recently discovered is that you don't even need a remote control. When you turn on the device with the switch, it alternates between different lighting options and brightness. It's not as easy as the remote, but if you forget or don't want to use the remote, it works really well. All in all, I'm pleasantly surprised at the cost of this setup and the almost $900 I saved as a result. Now I have more money for lenses! HOORAY!
