2.6 x 2M/8.5 x 6.5FT Background Support System and 5500K Umbrellas Softbox Continuous Lighting Kit for Photo Studio Product Portrait and Video Shoot Photography

We wanted a portable / standalone green screen for online meetings while working from home; and ordered this kit, as it seemed good value.It has the larger size frame (which we want/need) and with the extra lighting would cover all basis, when we need additional lighting. The kit has all the essentials for a small home studio, whether portrait photography, capturing listing images for online sales or green screen photo/video.All items were neatly boxed up and packaged individually inside of the the factory box. Our factory box showed damage from original shipping to AMZ, the factor box is very weak cardboard, but thanks to the extra AMZ box to ship it upon our purchase, things survived the retail trip intact.There is no manual, but all assembly is completely self explanatory.The horizontal bar has several segments, but they do not lock together in a secure fashion. There are two indentations and only holds together minimally, there is no positive twist lock. Good enough for portability and at home use, but that really should have some kind of a twist or screw fitting that locks. The top rod could easily come apart with a knock or tap against a tripod.The carry bags are very lightweight material, and wrapping all things back in it would probably be a tight fit.One will need to come up with some separate container to protect the bulbs and delicate fittings and umbrellas.The biggest downside, we learned the hard way, is that while this listing is for 8.5 H x 10 W, that is the frame dimension, and the provided cloths are 6x9 plus they only have the pocket loop on the short side.Due to the existing office space, where we want to place the screen and the wide angle on the camera, we really need that 10 ft wide coverage ... so, the ideal setup we were after has not been possible with this kit. I was able to use the clamps and clip the screen cloth the other way around, but that should not have been necessary, imo, and we were short width wise, moving things forward means more of a trip hazard ...So, for the perfect setup, we will have to source a larger green screen cloth separately.The cloths do have lots of fold lines, from being folded into 8x12, understandably. It works ok for green screen, but for other photography, with the white and black cloths, one will have to figure out a way to get those wrinkles out.

Opened it all, sorted it out, set it up, plugged in the lamps and bam one of the fixtures doesn’t work

Would’ve gave a higher start rating but, all of my bulbs came broken or blown out already and they’re supposed to be new. That really pissed me off. All excited to set my lighting up and none of the bulbs worked..😤

Absolutely awful. Packaging looked like it was shipped by eBay. Missing the 24” diffuser. No instructions whatsoever. One of the tripods for the lights was bent backwards? The camera tripod was wobbly and flimsy.

You definitely get a lot for your money. Some pieces like the tripod are fragile.

Easy to assemble

Got this for my husband and he loves it. Though it doesn't come with instructions it was fairly easy to put together he plans to edit this review and add a video showing how to put it together.

Perfect for my photos
