Have the lamp stand set bought together with a favorable soft box to enter the world of unleashed flashing. Could the set now also test extensively. I'm very satisfied with the set actually - especially as the price is simply very good. Of course, one must not expect too much also. It is a lightweight aluminum tripod with a lot of plastic - which makes the part badly now. Just an affordable entry tripod. Its light weight, the stability suffers naturally something. But who wants to assemble a softbox and only an external flash on, can not go wrong with this. Also Outdoor is set wonderfully usable. For my purposes, so perfectly adequate!
