Review on Neewer Umbrellas Reflective Umbrella Yongnuo Camera & Photo by Jim Worthington

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheap. That's why you're looking at this set, right? Well, very cheap.

You get what you pay for and I quickly upgraded my lighting kit but if you just want to try a stand and some umbrellas or want a cheap support (or second light) this is it . Big. Look this is a value proposition not complete bullshit so 4* from me. The stand is very unstable. No problem indoors, but outside your umbrella will fall over in a light breeze. My new LumoPro stand has ground level legs and spikes. Bracket - plastic, cheap. Didn't fall apart, but think twice before trusting him with your flash. If you use cheap Neewer. Why not? Umbrellas are quite good. You get 3 so you can play with different styles. Bag - I'm glad they gave me a bag. No padding but I was able to carry everything that was included plus the monopod. Attention: included, spec. The stand and umbrella are not compact enough to fit in hand luggage. In fact, before checking, you need to put it diagonally in a regular suitcase. There are coasters and umbrellas that are as compact as carry-on luggage. Just pay attention to the sizes. So, like I said, this is a cheap kit, the emphasis is on cheap. It's $33 to see if you want to dip your hand into flash photography, maybe pairs well with a Neewer or YN flash (under $100), but if you're even a little bit serious , just opt for the better options, in particular. Stand and mount potentially protecting a much more expensive investment.
