Austin Academy For Excellence School Supply List

I'm a volunteer with the Austin School of Film, a non-profit organization that helps independent filmmakers. I bought two of these kits and our students use them all the time. The case on wheels can take a beating, rolls smoothly, and is organized with 3 partitions for the lights and stands. The cords are long and sturdy, and the fresnel lights work as described. While the stands are just sturdy enough for the big 650 light, I recommend using a sandbag on the feet to prevent it from tipping over. I recommend throwing a pair of heavy gloves inside - the lights get HOT! The softbox works well but is problematic - it's difficult to assemble as four steel rods must be bent nearly 90 degrees. So we keep it assembled instead of putting it back in the bag. We just have to be careful not to tear the fabric. The filter rings are very poorly understood by the majority of filmmakers I talk to. They use diffusion paper or filters taped to the outside of the light instead. Unfortunatly, our rings were quickly lost. All in all, an excellent kit.

Excellence!!

EXTEME EXCELLENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This product is excellence.

This thing is awesome! Does everything I need it to do. One thing to be aware of - it DOES come with a power supply, even though it's not listed in the What's In The Box list.

I didn't know what these were for when I bought it, I just bought what was on my class supply list. I think it was a little pricy, but it works great and I do like having different colored sides.

I use This mic for recording Choral At the LasVegas Academy of Performing Arts

Very well its works with excellence

The service excellence was bar none the best

is excellence light easy to use awsome
