Portable Lighting Studio
Here is what one happy customer had to say: Great item for the money. Folds up to a carrying case that holds the lights and tripod. Tripos is metal and holds my Fuji S5000 without issue. Feet on tripod need to have a non slip surface though as the tips are plastic and easily slide. But again, you CANNOT beat this deal as it is the perfect choice for a beginner or novice.
