This is great for the price and the stands do the job. I make guitar videos and what a difference these lights made.

I bought this kit over a year ago and have used it in many settings for my professional video needs. It is easy to transport to a shot location and quickly sets up with no issues. The lights are well made and come with a dimmer and option to switch from a warm 2300k light all the way up to 6800k, and in between. The battery option is what sold it for me. The ability to light from any location regardless of having power is paramount. I recommend this kit to anyone looking to elevate their shot scene.

These lights came in a nice reusable travel bag, which I greatly appreciate. I can lug these around safely. The tripods are not the easiest to work with because you need to twist screws loose, adjust it, and then tighten. The tripods are tall and sturdy, which is the most important part. Finally, the lights are great. They are bright and the color temperature can be easily adjusted. I use multiple lights for taking a video. I am excited to start recording YouTube videos at night.

I must say I am impressed by these lights. The light output is considerable for such compact lights and the fit and finihs of the product reminds me of much more expensive units I have used in the past. If you routinely shoot in different locations or in on-site scenarios you will really appreciate the padded case! The case is good quality and keeps everything in a single package while simultaneously protecting your investment.

I read a lot of the reviews and I went for it. I purchased the GVM 480's and they work great. Came with the barn doors and diffusers. The legs are not the sexiest. They are sturdy enough to hold the lights but not fantastic. The quality of light though is great. I do a lot of video interviews and these lights worked great for what I needed.The case works great and is very handy. You can store everything you need and then some. You will need batteries. Me personally I do not like cords all over the place so the batteries do come in handy. Overall, great lights for quick gig's. You'll be happy you got them. But that is just my humble opinion.

I have uploaded images which show the fixture in just three of the many possible colour temperatures available, as well as some profile shots of the fixture with it's diffuser, and barndoors attached. The fixture was about three feet from the curtain.This kit came with three each of stands, barn doors, diffusers, stands, and the LED panels, as well as mounting hardware, and tools.The case is big enough to house everything, when packed for transport to shoots. It has Velcro dividers inside, to allow for the three panels, and all afore mentioned accessories. The case is good enough for transport in a private vehicle, but if you're doing serious PA work, you'll want to put it in a suitable hard case for further protection on professional film shoots.The fixtures are made of thick aluminum. The yokes that hold the fixtures are very thick, and rugged. You can mount the fixture so the yoke is horizontal, allowing for a 180 degree vertical tilting of the fixture, when diffuser, and barn doors are attached. Otherwise, without the diffuser, or bar doors, you can mount the yoke vertically on the stand.Important to note, is the gap between diffuser, and panel will allow a lot of light spilling from the fixture, so if your camera is getting light pollution from the fixture, you'll need to flag off that light by adding a DIY baffle around the fixture, to fill the gap with. Otherwise, you should be fine.The beam angle, without diffusers is around 30 to 40 degrees. With diffusion, it's considerably wider, around 60 degrees for the brightest central area of the beam, gradually dimming as you go out from center. The shorter stand off pegs will allow for brighter light source, which is a bit tighter beam angle, whilst the longer pegs will provide a bit more diffusion, with a dimmer, but wider beam angle.I recommend you get a small, pocket sized tackle box, or min I tool box, to keep all the stand off pegs sorted for easy setup, on arrival to your shoots. By the way, there are some silvery looking gnarled thumb screws which are used to attach the diffuser to the stand off pegs. There are thumb screws with slightly longer threaded bolts that are used to attach a barn door, over the diffuser, so keep that in mind, when sorting your hardware.What I love about these fixtures:Being legally blind, I really appreciate the big, bright LED digital display, which indicates intensity, and colour settings. The knobs feel smooth, whilst turning them, and the transition between colours is very smooth.The rugged, yet compact design is a plus.I also appreciated the inclusion of the diffusers, and barn doors.I also like that you can opt to attach either diffuser, or barn doors.The battery powered option is a huge plus! Just wish batteries had been included, but that would've increased the cost.What I don't like:I did notice all three electrical mains had bent legs, which had to be straightened with pliers. No biggie, but could've been prevented with mains protectors for shipping, and packing.The stands are more for lighting you would use as a table top product lighting setup. The legs are very short, so I don't recommend using these at full height, without substantial weight at the base, like with a sand bag, or stand weights. The stand's shaft is a bit wavy, when fully extended.I did not like how long it takes to attach, and remove the diffusers, and bar doors. Three fixtures mean 12 of every thumb screw, and stand off peg having to be inserted, and then removed, before you can pack up the gear. That's extra time on set. would've been nice if the diffusers, and barn doors were designed with quick release features in mind. However, since these are permanently in the studio, that's not such a big deal.The only other dislike, is the fact the LEDs are all hanging out to dry. meaning, you can touch them. That means, if you carry a strong static charge, after coming into set on a cold, dry day, and happen to touch the bare LEDs, you can damage them with the discharge of ESD (electrostatic discharge). Would've been nice if these LEDs had a glass, or plastic ESD proof pane in front of them.I doubt these would survive rain, or moist environments.Also would've been nice if the cord from fixture to power brick were much longer, or if there was a way to clamp the power brick to the stand, so it wouldn't tug on the power connector that goes into the panel.The panels are NOT 10 inches wide. They're 8, and 1/4 inches wide. It's the diffuser, and yoke, with it's tension knobs that are 10 inches wide, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Just would've been nice if the panel were actually 10 inches.Final thoughts:Overall, I feel like these fixtures are great for small film sets, product lighting, and for live streaming.Oh, you MUST have both battery slots occupied, in order for the fixture to be powered by batteries.
