RALENO Photography Lighting Kit, 8.5 x 10ft Backdrop Stand with Green Screen, 5 x 85W 5500K Softbox Studio Lighting Kit with Umbrellas for Product, Portrait and Video Shoot Photography

Second time I purchased this item. I bought one for my son for his photography business and my daughter decided she would like to do it too. It is easy to set up and has all the parts that they need. The backdrops are larger than I though which is great!!! Very easy to pack up in the case and easy to set up!! Seems very sturdy. Shipping was fast. Great product for the price!

I'm just getting started with studio lighting and needed an inexpensive, quick setup to play around with. After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance on RALENO and I'm honestly glad I did. This kit has everything you need to take great photos/videos. It's quick & easy to put it all together, the lights are good and the backdrop is huge. Love the heft of the screens, they aren't see-through and seem well made. VERY good value for the money. Best of all the company stands behind their product. This kit has a lot of plastic pieces, and my kit had a few snags. One of the stands had a problem with the screw and didn't want to stand straight, along with a bulb that didn't work and an issue with the crossbar. They were quick to respond to my email, and went over and above to make sure I quickly got a replacement and was happy (thanks for all your help Cassie!). Really great customer service. As others have said, this is a complete studio setup and a steal for the price. It's not pro quality build, but it is sturdy enough to get started and get some good use out of before you level up. Customer service is very helpful and they'll get you sorted out quickly if you have any problems. The downsides are minimal. Everything is adjustable, and if you like jigsaw puzzles you may be able to get it all back in the handy travel bag. I'm not so optimistic I can do it - definitely follow the reviews that mention taking a pic at unboxing. And the reflector is so small as to be laughable. But then you're not buying this for the reflector. There's a lot of plastic, and it's obviously not an industrial/pro grade setup. That said, I'm very happy with everything I got for the price. Excellent value, excellent customer service.

Decided to get this product after starting my side hobby/business in photography. This setup is more than worth the cost. It came with a great carrying case, 3 back drops, 4 lights and much more. I've used it numerous times for indoor shoots and once you set it up the first time, it is a breeze to setup every other time. The stand that holds the backdrops is not the fanciest and can be a little flimsy, but it has been worth it's weight in gold for me and my business. I was very impressed with the quality of the kit for such a low price. I would recommend this to any beginning and mid-level photographer.

First up, this is not a professional studio lighting kit, the price should tell you that, but this is VERY good for what it costs. Here are some more details: PROS: The stands are all metal and hold the lighting and back drops just fine, IF you are indoors in a controlled environment. The LEDs are beautiful with large heatsinks to keep the LEDs cool. Lighting is even and predictable. Well-made carrying bag (be sure to keep the boxes the tripods and LEDs came in just to keep them from banging around in the carrying bag if you intend to take them with you). The bag repacks easily. Weight is manageable by most. The tripods are easily adjustable from quite low to ground to quite tall, with the backdrop tripods going well above my 8' ceiling. DRAWBACKS (there really aren’t any “cons” for a kit at this price point): I would not recommend using these outdoors if there's even the slightest amount of wind. The LEDs can’t be dimmed or have their colours adjusted, but that’s easy to mitigate in post. The backdrops are not wide enough to go the fully assembled width of the backdrop rigging. They're wide enough to go about 2.5 bars wide, but the last 1.5 bars will have no backdrop if you install the entire rigging. They show all 3 hung, but I can't imagine a scenario where I'd want black, white, and green all at the same time so expect to buy wide backdrops if you want to use the entire width. In the end, despite some minor issues, this is a decent kit for an amateur or prosumer who doesn't want/need to spend $500-$1000 or more on mid to high-end studio lighting, but wants to have a small studio setup with controlled lighting.

Super easy to assemble, but when you put it in the bag, you need to make sure you are aware of where everything is going in order to make it all fit. The material on the back drops are nice and thick. Super easy to steam/ iron the wrinkles out. Just with there were a couple extra packing bags to help keep all of the different poles/ stands together. Value is spot on for what I received
