Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Professional Studio Photography Softbox Lighting Kit by HPUSN - Ideal for Portraits, Product, and Fashion Photography (Bulb and Light Stand not Included) by Heidi Young

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor construction, bad lighting and lack of quality control.

Where is the quality control? I was completely shocked when I opened the box and found a canvas storage bag covered in mold. I do not understand. I don't even know how that happens. Second, some of the screws holding the extension rings together were rusty. I quickly reported this to Revain and they sent me a replacement. As for the product itself. I was very depressed about almost everything. Frames are very thin; It won't take long for them to tip over, so be very careful with them. The knobs to turn everything are rough (rough plastic everywhere). The actual part of the softbox is attached to the stand rather poorly. The softbox's pitch can only be adjusted in vertical position (similar to portrait or landscape), which is strange given that the softbox's shape is rectangular instead of square; this configuration, in my opinion, results in poor light distribution. Finally; The lights are significantly dimmer than the product images in this listing. They are definitely not that bright and don't have that large a beam radius. I would definitely say that this is false advertising. To be honest I have several LED table lamps that are brighter and would work better than these if they were bigger. You definitely get what you pay for with this product. Poor quality lighting not relevant to a professional environment. A major disadvantage is also the poor quality control.
