ePhoto 10 X 20 Large Chromakey Chroma Key Green Screen Support Stands 3 Point Continuous Video Photography Lighting Kit H9004SB-1020G

Awesome setup. I use this at work to film client successes, and weekly videos that we put on our webpage. The backdrop is easy to work with and a perfect green for keying. You will have to Iron it when you get it because it has wrinkles from it being folded in the packaging. Other than that the screen is great. The lights are also very good for the price. Granted they are flimsy and lightweight, and all of the fasteners are plastic but it works for my application and we move them around all the time. Break down and setup is kind of a pain in the ass, so if you are planning on traveling with them, you may want to get a different set. Not a huge deal though, just a bit of a pain.

Buy this Kit!! Using a Chroma key green screen is fairly simple if you have the right software and even simpler if you have the right light package. I recently purchased the ePhoto 10' X 20' Large Chroma key Chroma KEY Green Screen Support Stands 3 Point Continuous Video Photography Lighting Kit H9004SB-1020G and I am so pleased with everything about it. First, the kit arrived in three days and there was a smashed corner of the box. I opened it up and although ePhoto packed everything quite well, all of the bulbs were in individual boxes with styro-foam blocks, I tested them and the two 45Watt CFL bulbs near the end had crushed corners on their respective boxes and were not working. I emailed ePhoto and they sent me two replacements immediately. Everything else worked just perfectly. The stands are nice and firm and do not have any loose parts or play so they stay still, the soft box lights give me the equivalent of about 3800 Kelvin for my video shoots and that is plenty good. I have a few more lights from a previous purchase to boost me up to 5600K for daylight look. Most importantly for me was the Muslin screen. I have purchased green screens prior to this one that had too much synthetic fiber which reflected light or they were so thin you could almost see through them. This one is a dense mostly cotton blend that absorbs the light, stays wrinkle free with proper care and it is huge. I have used it vertically with the train down below my subjects and have run it horizontally against the back wall for motion tracking shots as well. It has proven to be very versatile and I will definitely get my moneys worth out of this one.This is an amazing kit for the money and I highly recommend it for starting enthusiasts or small budget crews. The only down side to the kit is the boom pole soft box , or overhead "hair" light. It appears that the fixture for the boom to the upright stand was an afterthought because they do not fit exactly. They hold with the screw tightened down but it is a bit askew at that point. The sand bag counter weight is not very durable and does not seal so you need to empty the sand or whatever weights you are using into a gallon zip lock bag so it will not get everywhere during transport. The nice large bag that comes with the kit is great for transport and after a few set ups, you will find you can set it all up in about ten to fifteen minutes which is very nice. If you are on a budget and would like a portable lighting kit, I highly recommend buying this one.

Very long assembly required, it does all kind of work, as others have mentioned the stitching on the attached diffusion front material is about as good as tape, poor stitching that completly failed, and the only good light was the single bulb one. Aside from the lights the stands were fine, and it is quite a large greenscreen

I was disappointed about many things with this set. 1. the large light for the over hanging light was broken AND there is a short in the switch to turn it on and off (very dangerous). 2. There were no instructions on how to set everything up 3. When I told them that the things were broken and I was leaving to go on a trip that I needed this equipment, they told me to return everything. I told them I could not because I had to go so they gave me a credit but it is not enough to fix the light or switch. The hassle to send it back seems senseless. It was my first experience buying on Amazon and it was not a good one. On a good note, I keep reminding my self of the price. You get what you pay for. It was a cheap price and I got a cheap set. I just wish it was atleast working properly. The other lights worked fine for the other 2 lights

- the packaging was neat and everything was intact and unharmed when i opened everything. - i didnt have much hope for the carrying case, but it was perfect for the equipment, though i wouldn't recommend walking long distances with it becuase it is uncomfortable. - the setup is pretty self explanatory as long you take your time with it. it took me like 2 hrs the first time, but only because i have no experience with this stuff. - the light bulbs are properly protected and work great for me. - the chromakey drape is pretty much nothing but a.....a chromakey drape, so thats cool and it does fine job covering an average amount of space for a small room. - overall this whole product make matte and photo projects alot better and easier.

The green screen is a nice size however if you want to make it a little more narrow you'll have to do some folding. The stitched area at the top for the top bar is continuous with no open cut areas to adjust for size. You could do it yourself easy enough or buy another more narrow green muslin. The light stands are very light weight and could be knocked over very easily which will probably happen if you have more than 3 people on a set. A few sand bags will help that situation. If a light falls I can see a bit of damage to the soft box and or the bulbs. Over all if you're thinking about getting a start up kit I would recommend getting something like this one. For what you get the price is good. I would also suggest picking up 4 or more 5lb sandbags (saddle type are fine), a couple extra 45w bulbs and an extra 105w bulb. (If one goes out, they are not easy to find right away / hardware stores just don't have that wattage at 5500K) Possibly a few color gels to give some accent lighting / clothes pins from your local store (50 for $1.50) A couple packs of clamps to hold your green screen tight. The 3.75 and 4.5 inch both work. (The 3.75 are a little trickier) A good amount to do a good job would be minimum 8 clamps. I use 16 ( 8 - 4.5 in and 8 - 3.75 in) and have not had one pop off. That keeps your screen taunt and help get the wrinkles out. *Note* once the screen is up I used a cheap portable steamer and watched all the wrinkles disappear. Over all I do recommend this gear for starting out.... Good luck...

Really like this kit for the money. I use mine for light duty projects in the basement. Skits for kid's sports videos, etc. Not sure how durable for lots of travel to different sites. I did get the clamps to hold the screen tight on sides. Lighting is good for subjects but I bought two 600watt work lights (on stand) for 30 bucks each at Lowes--used these to light the green screen. An inexpensive solution that works great. Assembly is easy despite weak instructions--except for putting together soft boxes. There are rods that have to be placed into the light fixture and then into each corner of box. To make this a LOT easier, mount the light on the stand first. Two of the rods will fit into velcro corners. Do not close velcro until all rods are in place. Also, the larger end of the rods goes into the light fixture. I thought the kit was well packaged. All lights were intact and nothing was damaged. Highly recommend this kit. I'd even travel with it but would just take a lot of care. CAN NOT go wrong for the price.

To be frank (even though i'm Morgen) this set up is PERFECT for any sort of web series, or interview session, even small scale weather stuff. I really enjoy this set up, the biggest complaint is that the light poles are flimsy. They are, no two ways about it, the first day I had it, i over tightened the head and it broke. But with some gorilla glue and some hard work it was fine. YOU NEED SANDBAGS!!! do not buy this kit without also buying sandbags, especially if you are operating a web series by yourself. The lights that come in this kit are SUPER fragile. while filming with them the bulb actually fell out of the base (not on the head but the actual plastic base of the bulb) But the truth is that all three issues were easy to fix, and while I don't recommend making this kit a mobile kit, it is incredible for the price! for 200 dollars you can get three lights, and a green screen stand, A 10x20 GREENSCREEN, and all of the light bulbs you need!
