Works as advertised

A bit pricey, but does a great job of adding a unique highlight to the subject's eyes, reducing or eliminating shadows on the neck, and providing just the right amount of shading from below. Not sure yet if I will be using this for corporate work as it seems to give the look a more glamorous look than a corporate client (especially male) would want.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.

Impressive highlights!

It's been copied time and time again, but nobody makes it quite like the Westcott original. It will take some time to get it right, but once you get it, it will be very easy after that. Part of the joy is the highlights, but the other part is the sheer quality of the reflected light. This is installed in my studio where it is now a permanent fixture for portraits. 100% recommend this great product!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Out of fashion

I like it, but I don't like it

I just bought an Eyelighter II. Three areas of feedback: 1. Difficulty getting the curved bar into the mount to screw on the grip. There is a significant gap. I think the hole that the screw goes in is either slightly off center or too small for the screw to go through. So there are almost no handles. (see photo #3 for reference) 2. I don't like that the fabric is not smooth. There isn't enough tension on the fabric to pull it tight enough to smooth it out, so it looks like it's going to stay…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • No performance
