SpinLight 360 EXTREME Modular System for Various Shoe Mount Flashes

2016-12-25T10:41:52

I have used the system for some time, first with a starter set and then purchased the extreme set. Shot a wedding a week ago and pictures are great. It was good to have two modules for doing various portraits using flags and grids. Realistically, the system is expensive for what you get. Then again, you can say that for 1,000's of photography accessories. If this sysyem lasts well (as I I believe it will), then it will have been a great investment. Over all - I highly recommend the Spinlight 360 system if you like to bounce and want a quality quick change modifier system.

As a freelance news photographer I am constantly dealing with some of the most challenging lighting conditions. Things happen quickly and rarely is there time to move our subjects to where the half-decent light is. Press conferences, political rallies, ceremonies, and celebrations often take place in dark corridors or poorly lit auditoriums. But I am responsible for getting good shots, in spite of bad conditions. I also volunteer my photographic services to the Southeastern Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) chapter of the Red Cross. I'm covering fires, often in the dark of night, photographing people in makeshift shelters, chronicling fund raisers, children's holiday parties, celebrations, post-fire walk-throughs often in tenement conditions, and the annual Red Ball. Red Ball is the Chapter's key fund raiser each year and it is held in "Memorial Hall" (now the Please Touch Museum), a building erected in 1876 to commemorate the first centennial of the United State. This cavernous room is decked out for the occasion in red atmospheric lighting and there are no white ceilings or walls from which to bounce flash. The first year, I had the Red Carpet assignment, and I used the Spinlight 360 with my camera mounted on a tripod. In fact, it was my Spinlight's debut on my camera and it did not let me down. I used the large white card (to create a "little ceiling" and we had the best red carpet shots ever! This year I graduated to candids at the ball, where the dim lights and red accents were my biggest challenge. Spinlight 360 was a shining star, and so was the photographer! The success stories with my Spinlight 360 are mounting. A few weeks ago I photographed the Northeast Philadelphia Hall of Fame inductions in a VERY dimly lit auditorium. I was the only photographer with flash and I was the only photographer who had GREAT shots from the event. I'm thrilled with the Spinlight 360's performance and recommend it to every photographer in my circle. It comes with me on every assignment and gives me the confidence to know I'll be coming home with great photos.

I'm making a change from (mainly) "sports & Events" photography to "home & outdoor" portrait photography. This is just what I needed for a portable lighting setup. Light weight easy to use easy to change and most of all total control of light modification. Umbrellas and other large area modifiers are difficult to work with in the confines of most furnished homes and there is always the wind factor out of doors. With all the various attachments available to me in the spinlight 360 system, I just about eliminate the need for them. I have five speedlites, the complete spinlight 360 system, gels, snoot, bounce cards and grids. I purchased three extra spin rings for multi flash setups. There are two things I would like to see, that would bring this review up to 5 stars; 1 A barn door type of attachment 2. The reseller offer the separate spin ring attachment (I had to go to the manufacture's web site to order extras)

So glad to see SpinLight 360 expanding their offerings with the more complete gel kit. When I first discovered this system at PhotoPlus Expo in 2012 I immediately purchased an Extreme Kit. I now have 3 and they have become my favorite mod system for location fitness and adventure work. I LOVE the grids and use them more than the other mods. I like the way the Spinlight 360 turns the strobe into a circular light source. The round gels seat solidly and don't interfere at all with the attachment or removal of the modifiers. Even though I mostly use the CTO's to warm skin tones when shooting near the ends of the day I look forward to having their complete gel kit. https://www.facebook.com/MichaelDeYoungPhotography

The Spinlight allows you to bounce light from the ceiling or walls to your subject but flags any direct light, preventing any harsh lighting.
