Misleading photos. - Softboxes

I am a professional videographer who creates over 100 15-20 minute videos a year for use on the web. This set has potential, the main problem is that the softboxes are too small. This creates a very narrow and focused light area. Great for a single subject, terrible for lighting a room or even a modestly small area for video recording. The biggest problem with all of this is that the listing photos would lead you to believe the softboxes are bigger than they are. While they list them as 15 inches, they don't clearly define what those 15 inches measure. So, like many people, I used the photos on the list to get some information. Look at the photo of the model in the black dress. The softbox next to her extends from her head to her upper chest. They're not even close to that big. As with the last photo, the soft boxes around the model look much larger than they really are. The main reason I bought this set is the arrow. Which works fine. The foot of the three coasters is quite narrow, so they all tip over easily. I will actually mix this set with my old umbrella set and feel better than before. However, keep in mind that alone they cannot illuminate even a small room.

Pros
  • Lighting and Studio
Cons
  • Expensive
