Comment on Fancierstudio 2400 Watt Lighting Kit Video Lighting Kit With Hairlight Boom StandBy Fancierstudio 9004SB2 by G. Keast.
Can’t Really Beat The Price,
I can’t believe how much you can get for your money some times. This comes with three stands, a boom, three soft boxes, three lamps with built-in “speed rings”, 12 carbon fiber rods, and twelve 200-watt CFLs. Plus a carrying bag and diffuser sheets and covers! My only complaint is no instructions for how to put together and for that, I dropped a star.
The Fancier website didn’t provide much help. Someone did respond to my email, but didn’t resolve.
It turns out you do not need speed rings to assemble the soft boxes. The holes are already drilled into the side of lights. All you need to do is an internet search for “how to put together a softbox” and just know that the “speed ring” is not needed and the holes to hold the rods are built into the side of the light already.
Also, you can’t dim these, but you can control brightness by simply controlling the number of lights, their wattage, and/or the distance from the subject.
Other than that, you really can’t go wrong at this price.
