CowboyStudio Photography Photo Studio 480 Watt Three Monolight Flash Lighting Light Kit with Carrying Cae - 3 Studio Flash/Strobe, 2 Softboxes, 1 Barndoor, 1 Reflector, 1 Reflective Umbrella, 1 Snoot

I love this kit! I was leary at first buying it because I'm new to strobes. I'm use to constant light so this was a little scary for me. When it arrived, everything was packaged great - nice bag to carry it in. The stands are great - very durable and sturdy! Shipping was very quick - arrived in about 4 days.

The softboxes are easy to put together once you figure out what goes where. The other accessories are great too - barn doors w/ colored gels you can change out, very nice gold/black umbrella, etc.

This set was pretty easy to figure out as well. I didn't have experience w/ strobes at all but have been into photography for several years now. It was pretty easy to figure out how to set them up and how to trigger them - even without directions. The directions that came with the kit were in french and german so they were useless to my southern english twang, lol. None the less, I still managed to put it all together and in about an hour.

Definitely worth the money. I had considered a more expensive "brand name" set but am glad I went with these instead. The day may come when I decide to upgrade but for now, these are perfect!

I received exactly what was advertised. I shipped the items to a hotel I was staying in downtown Miami. Something came up and I had to change hotels. The staff at Cowboy Studio was very helpful and was happy to assist me in redirecting my package to the new address so I was able to get my package before I left Miami. This was a good buy the only thing I had to buy separately was two extra remote triggers for the strobes.

I bought this outfit on a leap of faith, and was not disappointed. I was concerned about the power of the lights, but did not need to worry about it. other than blowing two fuses, I have had no problems. I will be buying more lights and larger soft-boxes, and the included ones don't cover well for shooting multiple people. the kit is a great place to start if you are just starting out. I had no experience with studio lights and was a little scared getting into it. This setup made it easy.
