This is a great starter set for those getting more serious about their photography. I purchased this set because I needed to take photos with a green backdrop. The cost for a small portable green backdrop alone without any lighting or supports is already around $70. You can’t really go wrong with this set as you get a lot for your money. Everything arrived in new condition and there were no missing pieces.
Pros: Value for your money, equipment is sturdy and does the job, carrying cases for portability and storage. Cons: Setup took a little more time as there are no instructions provided. Thanks to YouTube I was able to get everything set up.

Good: The kit would light up a room for portrait photography and will do the job. Comes with a nice and roomy storage bag. Comes with two storage bags. First bag has 2 umbrellas, 2 softboxes, 4 bulbs, 4 tripod stands, 3 backdrop cloths, 2 light holders for umbrella, 6 clamps for backdrop and 2nd storage bag has backdrop kit consisting of 4 bars & 2 tripod stands.
Could be improved: The quality of the items are much lower than what I anticipated for the price (I’ve bought other NEEWER products in the past). The tripod stands feel cheap, though they will do the job (I don’t buy into the weight factor as other reviewers mentioned). The backdrop stand will bend if you use all 4 bars. It would have been a much better idea to provide sleeves for umbrella and softboxes to protect them from the tripod stand while storing them.
All in all, this is a decent set for the beginners. You might find a much more reasonable kit on ebay with the same items. As for durability, time will tell.

I use this for snapping photos of clothing to sell on various platforms. Very easy to set up and like the fact can be stored compactly. I believe a good value.

2 of my clips came smashed in the box and another one broke apart while assembling my backdrop. The backdrops are very see through so for the black I used a blanket behind it. I wish the light bulbs were more powerful but pleased with the value of this kit as I’m a beginner.

I was skeptical (despite good reviews) about this purchase when it first arrived. Having set it up and using it, I can say that it’s a great piece of kit! The only draw back were the included lights, but that’s not a big deal. They include 4 CFL light bulbs that tend to washout the subject (even with a diffuser). So I simply replaced them with color changing LED lights and haven’t looked back. I can color-grade my subjects (to a degree!) before filming or photographing them to help save time in post-production and editing. It’s amazing what color changing lighting can provide without the need for color gels/diffusers!
This is such an impressive kit for the price, it’s full of the necessities required for properly lighting and filming/photographing your subjects indoors. It comes with two separate bags. One bag is for the backdrop mounts, the poles required for hanging the backgrounds, and tripods to mount the backgrounds to. The second bag is for your background cloths (included are: black, white, green), tripods for the softbox lights, two softbox lights, two umbrella lights and mounting clamps, 4 CFL light bulbs, and 8 clamps for the backdrops. Impressive and it’s massively easy to coordinate set up with another person, or to set it up alone.
Let me be clear, it’s not a $3000 set up, so don’t fool yourself into thinking it will perform as such. However, the price for this kit is well worth it and it is something that help your videos or pictures “pop” that much more. For a beginner, this is a perfect gateway into photography and filming and it will make a difference in what you’re filming or photographing. Easily 5 stars and I highly recommend it for others.

It’s incredible how they packed this; the entire kit fits inside 2 carrying bags and when it’s assembled, everything is huge. Everything is easy to set-up and use, and I really like that the background support system is adjustable. You can adjust the height and width, which I really needed because I have it set up in a very small room at the moment. Definitely a must buy for beginner photographers.

This lighting kit arrived this morning. It was easy to set up. I am doing a low-budget photo shoot of some bronze sculptures for an artist. (My previous studio shoots were small items and I used a small, home-made flash setup.) I needed a better lighting system as one of the bronzes I will be shooting (a bear) is a big as a mid-sized dog. I’ve done some quick tests and the lighting is good. Look, this is not a pro-grade setup that a full-time studio photographer would use. The stands are lightweight, but this is a completely functional studio lighting set. I am most pleased with this purchase. The test photos were taken with this studio lighting. I purchased a blue backdrop cloth at a quilt shop for a few dollars.

So far so good. I bought this to start a little side hustle selling stuff online. It was easy to set up. The directions aren’t great, but just look at the pictures carefully and you’ll get it. You do need to steam the backdrop. All the pieces were included, set up quick and easy. Great starter kit.

Pros – easier to carry around, well packaged. Setup easy, backdrop crossbar is a nice design in that you don’t have to use all the pieces if you don’t need.
Cons – must have sandbags or some weight to hold the stands in place. Don’t attempt to use outdoors, stands too light and unstable.
Probably wouldn’t buy again. But will certainly use the set and not replace it quickly.

Updated Review: October 4th 2016 My wife and I wanted to update our initial review from a 3 stars rating to a 5 star rating based on the amazing costumer service we received from a customer service representative by the name of Sue from the seller standbyon. After mentioning the same issues we experienced as we discussed in the original review below, Sue was able to resolve everything within a week’s time. It was unfortunate that the initial kit arrived with a few dysfunctional items, but after receiving replacement lights and soft boxes without any current malfunctioning issues, we can only assume that the original items either were damaged during packaging or more likely, during shipping. In either case, Sue was wonderful to work with and she completely resolved our issues. As mentioned in our original review, you are getting what you are paying for; however, it is a wonderful starter kit and standbyon’s costumer service was amazing in resolving our concerns. I hope this review helps.
Original Review: First, this packaged arrived on time and the external shipping package was undamaged. Ironically, many of the interior boxes were dented due to the two poorly designed bags and one bulb box appeared to be opened prior with multiple punctures and dents in it. This punctured, potentially pre-opened box, may mean the bulb was used and/or tested prior and thus it would explain why it blew 3 minutes after turning it on.
Why I Bought This Kit: I recently bought this product for my wife as an introductory kit so she could explore her photography hobby. In general we are happy with the amount of items you get with this kit. However, you do definitely get what you pay for.
Pros: -This kit is a good starting point with many of the introductory components a photography might need to get started as a hobby photographer. -The backdrop bars allow for future backdrop growth with wider or shorter attaching bars for future backdrops purchases. However, it already comes with 3 backdrops (Green, Black, White).
Cons: – Both of the Softbox diffusers as incredibly unstable (one more than the other). They frequently shift down no matter how tight you tighten the knobs. We had to rig them both in order to get them to stay stationary, but for the price, it’s doable. – 2 out of the 4 bulbs already blew out. We hope this is merely the bulbs getting bounced around during shipping, but it is disappointing; especially since one bulb (from the previously mentioned damaged/opened box) blew out within 3 minutes of turning it on. The other one lasted 45 minutes. The other two are holding up well, and we replaced the burnt out ones with new bulbs with out future incident thus far so we do not believe it is an electrical dysfunction with the product. – All of the stands are a bit wobbly, but again, they work and you get what you pay for. – The 2 bags that come with the kit are designed in a manner that doesn’t protect any of the equipment placed within it. Sadly, that are very loss and bounce around quite a bit. Yet again, for the price, it is fixable and not an issue.
Conclusion: My wife loves the kit, but she is concerned about its longevity and future performance after a few sessions of setup and takedown. We know it is a cheaper set, but we would have hoped the soft box diffusers would have at least all functioned as advertised. It was also disappointing that 2 out of the 4 included bulbs already blew out (within 45 minutes). We hope this review helps.

Por el precio, la calidad y cantidad de accesorios que incluye es muy buena. Sirve muy bien para cualquier tipo de fotografía o video siempre y cuando no sea algo muy grande. Los focos tienen suficiente intensidad para objetos pequeños, pero para fotografías de personas o objetos grandes es necesario cambiar los focos por otros con mayor intensidad. Las telas de fondos son un poco delgadas por lo que de transparentan, hay que cuidar no tener luces atrás.
Cabe mencionar que el servicio con el vendedor fue muy bueno. Una pieza llegó rota y en cuanto contacté al vendedor me enviaron una pieza adicional para reponerla (de un valor aproximado de 400 pesos). No me pidieron enviar de regreso la rota, ni dar información, ni ningún otro proceso, simplemente me la enviaron en cuanto los contacté y les hablé del problema. Es decir, aunque el producto llegue defectuoso, el vendedor responde bien y rápido, al menos en mi experiencia.
