- marcosscriven 6y agoCan you recommend a good brand? I tried buying something from Amazon UK but contrary to reviews it turned out to be awful.
- bambax 6y agoGood brands are expensive but I have had some luck with Neewer, a cheap Chinese brand. Stands are usually flimsy but if you can you should buy wall mounting arms for either your walls or your ceiling; it also preserves floor space.
- rimliu 6y agoGodox is very good price-performance wise. I am not sure under what brand they sell their video lights in US. I know that their strobes are sold as Flashpoint.
- yarcob 6y agoTo be honest I have no idea what photo and video lights cost now. When I looked into it a couple of years ago a minimum set of two strobes, mounts and a reflector would have cost more than 300€.
- bambax 6y agoI bought a set 7 years ago for $80; it's cheap not just in price: it's basic; but it works.
- lmilcin 6y agoYou don't need "pro" equipment for lighting. That's one area when you can get very creative. Most people can take lamps they already have and put some bit of white material on it, which is what I am doing for a very good effect.
- bambax 6y agoIf you already have something then great; but if you're buying it's easier to just get a lightning set and bulbs with a specific color temp than do a lot of trial and errors with bed sheets and whatnot.
