High
Quality Photography Studio Equipment, suitable for professional
use.
The core of your photography studio equipment is your
studio lights. It is the ability to control
the light that often makes the difference between taking a photo
and making a work of art. With a decent set of studio strobes
or even continuous lights and a few relatively inexpensive accessories,
you can replicate or simulate just about any light you want.
For a working photo studio, the requirements we place on
our studio lights are simple yet demanding. They must be
reliable, consistant and accurate in color and output power,
and fast to recycle. Simple controls, and a wide range
readily available light shaping accesories, modelling lamps and
flash tubes are more important than any computer wizardry to
the studio photographer. Other desirable features are wireless
compatability, wide range of power, low sync voltage and the
ability to use a mobile battery unit, for those of us who need
loads of controlled lighting power out in the field.
We Highly recommend these Calumet Travelites because they
give all the features a pro studio needs. Fast,
accurate, reliable, readily available accessories, great output
power control, all backed up by a 5 year parts and labor warranty.
Best of all they are very attractively priced. Make no
mistake though, these are pro quality units.
The wireless feature is very desirable to reduce cord
clutter in the studio. You can also just have one unit
radio enabled, (or attached to a sync cord) and let the rest
fire off their built in optical trigger. The other bonus
I just love about these Travelites is the ability to add the
Travel-Pak Battery unit for loads of controlled lighting power
outdoors or where AC power is unavailable, once again, very well
priced for such good quality.
If you are starting from scratch building up your photo
studio, or even if a couple more stands etc could be handy,
these studio lighting kits are a great value way to start or
augment your professional or home photography studio. These kits
include case, stands, umbrellas, and are wireless trigger compatible
or are included depending on the kit. They also accept
the Travel-Pak battery for outdoor use, available separately.
