Is this a good lighting setup for photographing newborns?

It's cheap bang for your buck. It's not quick to setup and teardown, but I use it for documentary interviews and it works great. Gives me a nice soft daylight balanced light. Matches my other daylight balanced lights. The stands are cheap, but that's what you get for such a cheap price

Because you have to pull the bulbs to pack it up it won't be really practical for quick packing up to move but for a location set I think it's a great deal. You have one tempature but it's a pretty versatile one. Short answer yes!

Is this a good lighting setup for photographing newborns?- Only if your lens shoots under low light. If it does not, you can purchase two sets and it will be more then enough.

It should work just fine. If you use the two lights to create soft light on your subject, you won't have a lot of control over the amount of light on your background. So your background may be darker depending on how far away it is from the subject. That might be the desired effect though.

I am strictly an amateur/casual photographer but I've had pretty good results in all lighting situations. I mostly use the preset modes.

I personally felt these were of sub-standard quality and I was not happy with the quality of light. I am not sure how your setup would be, but this one is suitable for small setups and I got this for product photography.

No the lights are not bright. They utilize infrared light sources and have CMOS detectors sensitive to that spectrum. In laymen's terms its night vision. The light that is emanated and used to image is virtually imperceptible to the Human Eye. Human eyes are more sensitive at night but will most likely only pick up a very faint light at the source but will not be able to detect an ambient reflection created by that source. All in all it should work fine as a nanny cam.

Its pretty decent for portraiture, but for event shooting, i'd go with either reflections off the walls or a diffuser. When using the softbox, you just have to make sure its not going all flimsy on you and that the leather isnt blocking any of the flash (Have the soft box erect as possible)

I think this will give you a lot more than the option to take "kids pictures". :) I'm a novice abd really bright it for it's videography caPabilities. it is almost professional grade without the price. the add-ons however are rather disappointing. (sorry)

I would say no for video, because the modeling lights are pretty dim and they are not white. For pictures they would light that well.

The way I'm using it (for portraits, the room is not completely dark, and I use flashes), they are ok. I have noticed a very, very minor brightness when the flash was directed at it (i.e. I was trying to make it reflective to see how it reacts), but it was barely noticeable since I was looking for it.

They have light in gyms but it's not good light. The lights they use often cause a strange tint. UNLESS you have a camera that does manual white balance like this one does. Hopefully that feature will make everything okay.I switched my order from amazon directly to butterflyphoto through amazon. Delivery estimate is before the 1st. I am hoping to video a gymnastics performance on the 5th. Here's hoping the HD performs well.

The camera has a couple settings for indoor lighting, candles, etc. I am pleased with the results.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with the great results in photographing people in very low lighting conditions that I would have thought required a flash. Make sure you change the setting on the dial from A (for automatic) to P and turn off the flash unit when taking pics of people in low lighting.

I don`t recommend you this LED ring for Filming because, it is not too powerful .... I bought this for photography

Hi, I use it for the makeup shoots . But you need to know that it's not enought if you stand as far as a foot from you client. Better use some really good lighting

Yes, this lens would get very close ups of a newborn. The pictures would be very sharp but unless you stopped down on the f/ stop, the depth of field will be very shallow. This shallow dof may or may not be what you're looking for. For fingers or toes you can focus down to about 4 in. away but you have to watch your lighting. This lens is excellent for portraits.

No. This is a flash, not a continuous light. I think you are looking for some king of light to video recording, this is for photography.

I just bought these, and they are adequate...not much light, but I didn't want much..just a little fill in my studio when it is an overcast day..I shoot mostly natural light, and wanted these for my newborn shoots :-)
