Would you recommend this lighting kit for an open-style photo booth?

its not that strong of a light source. i order a different more powerful set to go along with it.

They are not really bright enough for multiple people in a dark setting (like a wedding reception). When I used these for a photo booth application, I also had to have my speedlight flash on the camera - of course the camera was on a tripod to minimize camera shake. If you are using them in a bright space, they should work well. I have successfully used these for photos of couples where you can get the lights real close without worrying about the lights getting in the shot.

Yes, the umbrellas keep most of the light pointed to one directional area, perfect for you.

Yes I would, they are not wonderful quality but considering the price they are great, so I am happy with them.

If the camera can be placed on a tripod and if there is no danger that someone will trip over the lightstands.

These units are light weight ( nice way of saying flimsy) , they have served me well for textile photography in a close room. Not sure what your application is , but I use 2 sets.

probably a 2 light option would be best, for intense lighting to apply makeup, etc.

Yes its a cheap and effective solution for bias lighting. I have mine set in a USB port on the back of my iMac pointed towards my wall. It makes working in a dark environment very pleasant with less eye strain.

Google "TRMA" they have tons, and I mean TONS of info on this model, including a tutorial on lighting... Be wary of the light shining through where it's not meant to. You can simply put in a few lights to show through portholes or go as far as a full fiber optic system to illuminate the light poles. I would also recommend the photo etched railings, benches and cranes. Although they can be quite pricy ($70 for all of them, more than the kit price) so only if you are experienced. The mini craft "deluxe" edition comes with photo etched railings, but if you opt for the full set get the regular edition and buy the full set of photo etched parts all at once, you will save a bit of cash Google "TRMA" they have tons, and I mean TONS of info on this model, including a tutorial on lighting...

I would say "yes, definitely". I think you just need to determine the proper setting for the lighting involved, but after that, it should be great.

I'm looking at buying a studio light kit with muslin backdrops. I will use it mainly for photoshoots with models but will also do portrait sets with a DSLR. The kit needs to bright, sturdy and relatively portable. I have not used studio lighting previously but i have studied studio photography methods. I want to get good results and I'm looking for experienced advice on buying a full featured studio light kit. Please post pertinent product links in your reply. Thanks in advance for your comments!

Sure you can. I've used it in my small space and got nice results. but now I want more stands and lights.. Basicly its great for the price.. Have fun..

Nice kit, if all you ever want is head on lighting. I like the ability to dim it, but that said you can always easily add gels to the light box. I prefer the lightbox because I can place them where ever I need to achieve the effect I want, then I'm free to go where ever I need with the camera. Its all down to preference and the results desired. If I wasn't on a budget I'd buy the Dimmab just for the hell of it and so that I had it there to play with if the need arose, but I'd still have to have my light boxes.

They are already hotter than the sun, so probably not. You could of course use your own lights with the light tent, but I think the point of this particular kit is the convenience of buying an okay photo tent with some okay lights at a cheap price and all at once.

Probably. The lighting works well for podcasting. It's easy to assemble and carry. Good setup directions.

This camera should work just fine for photos in this type of lighting. I would just suggest you use a tripod to ensure the pictures are sharp.

I don't think you would be happy with this light kit as the light are the small "flame" tip lights. I wanted a regular light kit that uses regular type of light bulbs. The light from the "flame" tip bulbs are more for 'mood' than light.

Yes, depending on your product (size/color, etc...), with the right distance and # of lights, it should be good for almost anything. For me it was barely good enough for some modeling photos, which require much higher film speed due to some movement... but for inanimate objects, use a tripod and you should be good for almost anything, anywhere. I even use one of these units to enhance light for indoor table tennis!

In that kind of environment, where you're standing in the dark but the kids on stage are lit, it performs very well. In fact, we had a concert at my church a couple weeks ago and I shot in those precise conditions... and the pictures turned out great! Oh... don't be afraid to bump your ISO, even up to 3200, and you should be fine. ヅ

Yes this table top light kit would be excellent for macro photography, however I would suggest purchasing a higher wattage bulb such as a 65 watt bulb which we sell on our website at www.skaeser.com. For full control of the wattage output, we recommend a four light table top kit. Please call us at 1-800-495-8148 for further assistance. Regards,

As long as there is enough light, you should be fine. I've seen people cover pro tennis matches from the stands and the images were great.

I think so. The bulbs don't get very hot. 110 is plenty. I'm thinking anymore than that it will look over exposed... And this also depends on the type of photography/video productions you're going to do. I was satisfied with them but only a little close up. I think you would have to find a bigger soft box. The bigger the soft box the better quality the light. These really need to be used close unless you adjust your camera settings and even then, some come out grainy looking. This really is a good deal for the price, but the boom stand is really sensitive and the soft boxes tip over easy. I broke one of the bulbs in mine. I think so.
