 You Get What You Pay For September 2, 2010
Ashley Oliver (AshleyO)
The Digital Concepts Ps-101 Portable Lighting Studio is just okay. If I had it to do over again I would pay the extra $20 for the nicer kit.
As others have said, the lights are not bright enough. It's not possible to get rid of all the shadows and I had to set my f-stop so low that I could only keep a small fraction of the item I was trying to photograph in focus. After working with the kit for just a few minutes I had already decided to upgrade the bulbs when one of the bulbs blew out on its own. Nice.
The backgrounds are not so hot. The texture of the fabric makes weird diagonal lines on the finished pictures like you see when someone wears a striped shirt on TV. That may improve with better lighting. The backgrounds are really just strips of fabric with velcro at the top so it should be no problem to make new backgrounds out of better material.
Really, the only nice thing I have to say about this kit is that it's very portable. It takes the whole dining room table to set up everything to take pictures but the kit folds up nice and small for transport or storage.
Once I get new bulbs and make some better backgrounds this set up should be pretty handy, but if I'd spent the extra money up front I'd have a lot of nice pictures by now instead of a burned out bulb and a couple of shadowy pictures that aren't fit for my website.
UPDATE: I replaced the old bulbs with new 50 watt bulbs and the pictures are much better. The diagonal lines on the background are still there but the shadows and depth of field issues are resolved. The new bulbs cost me $14.
 Great Product! August 17, 2010

I was even surprised how easy it is to use this studio. Unfold, plug-in the lights and there you go!
The quality is great, lights could be brighter, but they are good enough for what I am shooting. It does take some space, but if it was smaller, perhaps, it wouldn't be so - almost - universal. I really loved using it, and will stick with it for a while, I believe it's a great quality for the price and it takes almost no space to store.
Highly recommend!
GREAT!!!!! July 26, 2010

Easy to set up and take down for travel. I am able to create great pictures. Lights are nice and bright. Way better than my old method of taking pictures, which was placing items on a gray piece of construction paper.
 Flimsy construction July 20, 2010
T. P. Obrien (San Antonio, Texas)
This product has all it claims to have, but the construction is very flimsy in a key area. The legs for the lights are very thin sheet metal, and on mine the legs jammed and bent within minutes of unpacking. I called the vendor, Big Value, and got a refund (except for shipping). So, the rating for the product is "no stars at all" but the rating for Big Value is five stars. I bought a similar product by Sunpak that is very sturdy and well made.
Great price - Easy to use July 18, 2010
Jennifer Grau
For simple product photos this little lightbox serves it's purpose nicely. It comes with everything you need: two backdrops, mini tripod, and lighting. It is easy to set up and take down. The item itself turns into a bag that stores everything making it very portable. For the price, I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
