Review 2 of 5
Price Paid:
$300.00
from Ebay Summary: I purchased these as my first foray into studio photography about 4 years ago (for bridals, etc.) because the kit price was such a deal. I received 2 HS1000's, a PS300H, two 8' stands, a backlight stand, two umbrellas, stand bag and a light bag for somewhere between $300 and $500 (Sorry for the range, but it was four years ago!)
They served me fairly well for a start up. The lack of variable power output is a real pain. If you are a hobbyist and don't need much, you can use them nicely.
If you intend to depend on them for an income, I would strongly suggest Alien Bees or White Lightening (Same Company). Strengths: A whole bunch of kit for not a lot of money.
Recycle times are very fast.
Light output is very even. Weaknesses: Very cheap construction.
Light stand socket is poor.
The HS1000's are large (My hair light is right UP against the ceiling)
Difficult to find accessories.
Support is nearly non-existant.
Limited power variability (1/4, 1/2 Full on 1000's... 1/2, full on 300). Similar Products Used: Alien Bees AB800. Customer Service: All but non-existant.
