The studio Kit is truly innovative photography equipment. With its high build quality and intuitive design, it was easy to use straight out of the box with a short learning curve. The supporting app is user-friendly, allowing me to unlock the kit’s full potential immediately. Online support is comprehensive
The lights occasionally lose contact and turn off when adjusting the arms, requiring a slight readjustment to turn back on, and the arms have some stiffness that causes them to spring out of position at times, these are very minor quirks that don’t detract from an excellent product.
This kit has opened up new creative lighting possibilities for my photography. Highly recommended

The Adaptalux lighting arms are an incredibly intuitive and creative macro lighting system designed for close-up photography. Each lighting arm is flexible, highly adjustable, and allows you to position light exactly where it’s needed with precision and ease.

One of the standout features is the magnetic system. The arms attach instantly and securely, while the colour filters snap on just as easily. There’s no fiddling with clips or complicated fittings – everything is quick, seamless, and genuinely enjoyable to use in practice.

The wide beam 200-lumen 5700K white light delivers a clean, natural daylight balance that works perfectly for macro subjects. It produces soft, even illumination.

I have now had the Adaptalux system for a few months and can now write an honest review. I see two advantages to this system: the very precise positioning of the light thanks to the arms, and total control over the brightness/diffusion of the light thanks to the Bluetooth Control Pod 3.0 and the different filters/diffusers.
I only encountered one problem where the pod stopped working, but I was able to fix it by using the reset button on the pod itself.
I just noticed that the Android version (as of today) has slightly fewer features than the iOS app: it doesn’t let me select the magnetic filter I added to the arm, but that’s just a detail.
Overall, it’s a very good product.

I’ve seen quite a few Videos by highly respected Macro Photographers using and recommending Adaptalux Lighting Products.
SubsequentIy I ordered a full range of their lighting systems.
Simply put, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
The system is so well designed, simple to use, affordable, and It arrived in Minnesota in just a days from the UK. ATAPTALUX IS THE BEST OF IT’S KIND!
Sales/customer service is prompt, very personal.
I am glad to have found ADAPTALUX .

Great quality, very pleased with the items and fast delivery. Well packaged, and eco- friendly. The only thing stopping 5 stars is , it would be neat to maybe have a bit more length on the lighting arms, and it would be nice to have a carry case that could be used in the field. I realise that you have gone the eco route, but still would be nice. But hey, thanks anyway for a great product

I bought the super adaptalux studio, you can immediately notice the quality of the manufacturing, the advisor for my purchase was very pleasant, responsive and very professional. My pods charge quickly. Yes it costs a certain price but it is really worth it, it is a very good investment. No regrets for this purchase, I did not take the Stabiliser base that they sold and I regret it, as well as the clamps to hold the objects. This will be the subject of a future order.

I got the full kit (not the starter) — each arm lets you adjust both the intensity and diffusion of light. The ultraviolet is truly fascinating, giving me an image that can’t be replicated with any other light source.

I’m still getting used to the flashes, but they look promising — you can mount them on the camera or use them separately. I recommend getting diffusers and an extra second pod, which is useful for lighting from two sides.

The only downside: my Pod 3 didn’t connect to the Android app, but it has its own on-body controls, and the flashes have their own controls that are even more convenient.

When I first saw an Adaptalux video on YouTube, I thought this would be a good occasion to reconnect with macro photo.

So I bought a pod 3, a few lighting arms (including UV, I have a full spectrum camera, so that’s B&W pictures, works somehow as the white lightning arms in « normal » photography). I was amazed by the quality of the packaging.

In a month, I didn’t have time enough to shoot a lot (actually quite bad weather …), and, although I am still learning how to master the light with this new equipment, I already have other ideas (moss and fungis), and bought a xenon flash and pod mini, which came with the same perfect packaging.

Adaptalux Studio lighting is amazing! The versatility of this system is fantastic, and the ease of use is unmatched. Just opening the box was a delight and the product inside is quite impressive. I love the simplicity of the magnetic connections, the flexibility of the light rods, and the wide variety of options that can be used with this system. Top notch! Thanks for making such a wonderful product!

Système super adaptable ergonomique flexible
Permet la réalisation d’une mise en lumière précise et juste
La flexibilité et l’ergonomie permettent de pouvoir transporter le système dans un faible volume
Je ne quitte plus le système il m’accompagne dans toutes mes sorties macro
Les lumières ont une balance des blancs juste et précise
J’adore ce système

I have been using Adaptalux for a few years and have just upgraded to the Control POD 3.0, these are great for my Forced Perspective (TOY) Photography. The kit can be used for all kinds of close-up, macro and product photography, for which I have just lent part of my kit to a camera club member to do glass products and also used for a Forced Perspective Workshop I ran at our camera club receiving great interest. You can start small and build up to suit each type of photography that you participate in. I have met Sam & Ben a few times and they are a great team to chat and deal with. These products are well worth considering.

Firstly I would like to say how well built the pod/arms are. They feel premium quality to the touch. The Bluetooth connection with the mobile phone also works very well. I recently tried one of the very professional videos on how to utilise the lighting system etc. (the spinning ring one) and was impressed by the colouring I got from just one Bright White and Amber light. Hoping to buy more to expand my macro photography.

I absolutely LOVE how efficient and quick, not to mention FUN, this system is! I got the 5 port system with 3 lights (Blue, warm white and amber) and had amazing results from the start! Love finding new ways of creativity with Macro photography and Adaptalux does NOT disappoint! Being in Canada, the package was received in a reasonable time and I had it up and going within minutes. I use the app on my phone to control the lighting levels and blend, and I am thrilled with the whole experience! One of my favourite products for photography.

When I first saw the Adaptalux system on a YouTube video, its small size and flexibility blew me away, as did the possibility of controlling the intensity with an app. This was the first time I had seen this system, at least in Norway, and after some thought, I decided to order one. The system is just great and works like promised. Taking these pictures is still a big job, but the system makes it much easier.
The Adaptalux system truly shines when lighting small objects for macro photography.

The adapalux studio is a very versatile lighting system. You really have to try it for yourself to discover the endless lighting options at your fingertips. Different colour lights, colour filters, diffusers all help to create what you want to achieve in your macro photography. The accompanying App makes it even easier, giving you a hands free approach to concentrate on your lighting setup.

The adaptulux website contains very helpful information on how to get the best out of the adaptulux studio and the system is modular, so you can add to it later if you want. The buying process was straightforward and the contents arrived in a lovely carbon neutral packaging. I highly recommend it.

Hi guys, after watching many of Ben’s YouTube tutorials for quite a while, I bought a pack of lighting equipment and found them to be of very good quality in both design and manufacturing. Haven’t had much time to use them but found them a little tricky at first but getting used to them, learning to get them in close enough to the subject and can see endless opportunities to capture macro abstracts. I found the controller wheel a little fiddly so pleased that you have put the controls on an app, however wouldn’t work on my mobile android poss a screen protector issue as it works brilliantly on my iPad. Now the seasons are changing hopefully plenty of fun to be had with the various set ups.

The product is beautifully designed and fit for the job. My macro photography setup has become so much more user-friendly as the Adaptalux lights have a wonderfully small footprint compared to the much larger array of table lights I was using. The packaging deserves a special mention as it is extremely well-designed as befits high-quality equipment. The magnetic pop-on filters are simply inspirational. I wish I had bought from you years ago. I’ll be back for more kit in the very near future.

The ultraviolet lighting arm is a must-have for this surreal photography world. Simple setup – I produced fantastic otherworldly images in minutes. Just get used to working in the dark and be patient, adjusting exposures. There are lots of resources available on the website. Unlocks new creative possibilities with unique glowing results unlike traditional lighting. Highly recommended for photographers​​​​​​​​​​ wanting to try something new

II bought the complete kit, the one with the UV light. So far I have tested the UV lamps the results are really impressive, next test will be the flowers with and without tonic water. As for the colored lamps, I tried the paper effects and a few miniature photos and I am more and more impressed, the only regret is that I should have made this purchase much earlier. Now I’m impatiently waiting for the Flash Zenon to come back in stock.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your good work on your channel, the examples and ideas you give are very good and the explanations are always very clear.

First off, it works exactly as advertised. The arms snap in and out easily and produce beautiful color precisely where you want them. I started in macro photography last year and wasn’t pleased with the lighting solutions was using. I am so happy to have found the studio pod. It’s already had a real, and beautiful impact on my photos. Also, the background cards included with the purchase are extremely handy and were a greatly appreciated bonus.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my thoughts on the Adaptalux Studio Ultimate Pack. As someone who loves tinkering with photography but isn’t a pro, this thing is a game-changer! Setting it up was surprisingly easy. No complicated manuals or tech jargon—just plug and play. And the results? Mind-blowing! The lighting is on point, bringing out details I never knew existed in my macro shots. But what I love most is how it’s helping me learn. Experimenting with different lighting setups is like a fun puzzle, and I can see myself improving with each shot. It’s like having a mini photography workshop in my own home.

I received this pack in December and have begun using it to help light my macro subjects. The lighting arms make a big difference, allowing me to use a much shorter shutter time. I am waiting for the adapters to be delivered to allow the mounts I bought to be fitted to the Pod Minis. These adapters will enable me to position the pods and lighting arms more precisely and become more creative.

So easy from purchase to delivery to follow up.
Great quality product. Really versatile. I follow Ben on YouTube for project ideas.
I just wonder if you may create warm white light as I sometimes find the white light arms pretty cold , just an idea though 🙂
I love the UV lamps, still practicing to get my camera settings right though.
2 photos I’ve taken so far, a UV flower and a still life called ‘a grate family photo’ 😁
