Studio Reflective
A look at what is currently available on eBay
I am wanting to set up a small photographic studio at home?
I have just purchased the Cannon 40D and Flash 580 EX II. I am very happy with them, but would like to set up a small studio at home..
I'm looking at a basic, cheap setup - like the Glanz studio lighting kit...
Anyone familiar with it..
Kit Contents:
3x Pro 160Di flash heads
3x light stands
2x translucent white umbrellas
1x reflective silver umbrella
1x heavy duty case
1x radio trigger flash
3x PC sync cables
1x Modelling lamp
I can get this for $546, will add a background and softbox..
Any advice or opinions on this would be appreciated...
Flash setup versus constant light too!!!
thanks...
This is a cheap Chinese light set that will give you nothing but headaches. You have little recourse when they break down (and they will) and your money could be in the trash within a year.
Here is a testimony from one user: "I have had a Glanz 160Di flash for a year or so now, and it has been a major headache. I can accept the cheap construction because it is a cheap strobe, but my unit has failed several times, and been back to Madsens a couple of times for repair. The first problem was that with the sync cable attached, even without a camera at the other end the strobe would self-trigger, sometimes machine-gun style. Next problem was the smoke and flame that came out after maybe 50 1/2 power shots in a session. They replaced this unit, but the replacement suffered the same problem. This unit they replaced the fuse and returned it as-is, partly melted case and all. Then this weekend I found the slave function no longer works. "
I suggest you put your money into one Alien Bee (alienbee.com), when it needs repair it will be simple, cheap and quick. Build your system as you can and it will last decades.
