Flimsy, lights stand are light

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

These flashheads are wonderful. Ease of use is very important. The adjustable flash is prob the best feature on these heads as you can addjust to your subject and back ground to get lighting that is life like and great skin tones. The lights stands were a bit disappointing was expecting something a bit beefier to hand these lights. Over all this is a great set of flashheads without spending all your budget. Would like to see a 3 light set.

Flashpoint II Monolights - ROCK

By OLp Photography

from Medford, NY on 2/12/2007

Pros:

Attach Securely, Durable, Flexible output, Good Color Value, Long-Lasting, Powerful

Best Uses:

Indoors, Professional Work

Describe Yourself:

Professional

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For years I have lugged around a Norman 2400 powerpack and heads. I finally broke down and selected a monolight set. After some investigation I found the Flashpoint II [...]. Based upon, price, features, flexibility, color level I made my choice. I bought 3 units, two softboxes, two unbrellas, three stands, a boom, snoot and barn doors with grid. The units have been remarkable. Using the adjustable power levels and the ability of high output I have yet to be stumped with these units. The only negative I have is that I can't find a case that all these items can fit into. I recommed these units to all.

The 1820 monolight has good lighting

By Perfect ~ Image

from Windsor, CT. on 2/12/2007

Pros:

Durable, Simple and strait forword

Cons:

Unit needs more power, Weak

Best Uses:

General Use, Group Portraits, Indoors, Low Light, Night Time, Professional Work, Single Portraits, Special Events

Describe Yourself:

Professional

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The unit is very good in small to medium areas, inlarger areas the uint is under powered. Has even consistant lighting, good color balance. The modeling light is a big plus, in noisy enviornments it dimms to signal the flash has fired. The variable output control is great in smaller settings, good range for selecting f stops.
