Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Abigail U. ★★★★★

Setup was a breeze, and the compact case makes it easy to pack everything for location shoots. The modeling lamp is bright enough to see exactly where the shadows fall before I fire the flash.

Emma S. ★★★★★

These are built tough—I’ve knocked mine over a few times and they just keep flashing. The modeling lamp is a huge help for previewing light placement. Just note you’ll need to grab a Skyport trigger separately if you don’t have one.

James ★★★★★

The build quality is fantastic—the heads feel solid and the reflectors snap on securely. Used them for a full day of headshots and the power consistency was flawless, no color shift at all. Charged up quickly and handled a busy shoot without a hitch.
