I used this for six days while I shot yearbook photos. The flash units performed admirably, meeting and exceeding my expectations. The tripods are super lightweight and flimsy, but I rather expected that, and I can cope with it. The lights are the critical element, and they were easy to set up, produced perfect light, and as long as I take care of them they should last many, many years. The soft box is sturdy and not too difficult to set up. The sand bags were a nice addition, and while they’re not durable they are serviceable. The remote trigger works flawlessly, but I don’t like the tiny power switch or the over all minimal build quality. I’m going to have to figure out a better long term solution to storage and transportation – right now all the pieces are stuffed into differed surplus bags I had lying around and I’d like something neater and easier, I just don’t want to spend $200 on a Pelican large enough.
Bottom line: the lights themselves are fantastic, soft boxes are great, the trigger works, the stands are flimsy, and the sand bags should not be tossed around carelessly. I highly recommend to those looking for their first remote flash set.
