MS300 Studio flash kit

I am taking amazing dramatic sports photos for my high schoolers. They're loving my light kit and I am as well.

Great product and good for what I need to do. I am leaving 4 stars instead of 5 because one of the stands was cracked when I got it but Amazon made it right by reimbursing me some money back.

The strobes work great. They are very bright and the amount to which you can dim them is great. The modeling light is also a very nice feature. That being said, the accessories are just OK. The only thing that's of decent quality are the shadow boxes (the exteriors, not diffusers) and the light cones (again, the structure itself, not the diffusers). I clarify because the diffusers are cheap and awful. They barely diffuse the light. You can have a diffuser on the light cone WITH the umbrella on 1/32 brightness and STILL see a harsh glare on the object you're photographing. You can find much better accessories, but they suffice for an introductory strobe kit.All said, the stands are the worst of all. They constantly stick. They're cheap, thin aluminum that quickly becomes bent out of shape by the stand itself/the knobs to tighten them into place. If you raise your light on it fully extended, it's somewhat wobbly. Both of mine had a piece of plastic shoot out from them from deep within the tube, which prevented the stands from being able to be set at one height, or even tighten any rod at all. So, they sort of just bounced when I would take them down. Contacted the seller, they said it's normal and to just shove the plastic back inside the extension rod. Threw the plastic away because, to me, it looked like broken plastic. So now I have two stands that I can barely use because I had to shove wadded up paper into the tubes in lieu of the proper piece, which--again--looks exactly like a piece of plastic that just snapped in half.I recommend buying the strobes separate from the accessories and buying the accessories and stands elsewhere.
