Forward several years and I needed just a kiss of light in a series of photos and I returned to your site. The single arm control pod is perfect! The USB connection is greatly improved and my 4 year old arms continue to function perfectly! Thank you for your innovation and commitment to this amazing line of products!

So after a long time looking at the systems and trying to justify spending so much cash I thought what the hell and went ahead a purchased a system and im glad I did the lights are of really good quality as is the main unit all comes well packaged and worked straight out of the box. Only tried using it a couple of times so far but things look very promising although bit of a new learning curve for me.
If you are looking at this system then do it can highly recommend it.

Lightweight, versatile, easy to use.
Using adaptalux lighting with macro in the field is superb, so light and versatile easy to carry and use. I’m the envy of my photographic friends.

The build quality of all the elements of the adaptalux pod and lighting arms are solid and very well designed and built. Fantastic

It opens me up to be more creative
I purchased a basic built my own set with four arms. I shoot mostly weddings and was looking for lighting my macro ring shots. This system certainly opened me up to many creative options. It’s easy to use and the results are fantastic. Fast shipping Great customer service

作品の色味を最大限に引き出す
私の今まで使っていたライトでは、マクロ撮影でのライティングでは細かい設定が出来ませんでした。 でも、adaptalux studioのLEDアームは対象への細かいライティングの設定が出来て、私の撮影の幅を広げてくれました。 本当に感謝です、ありがとうございます。

Best lightning system
Definitely the best lightning system ever for photography!
Markus
Excellent product
The Adaptalux studio lights and filters do exactly what they promise and give great results. And I’m a big fan of their YouTube videos giving lots of tips for new macro subjects and techniques. Their customer support is also rapid and effective. Maybe a small company but perfectly formed!

A very versatile solution to macro photography! The quality of the system is wonderful. We are rare coin dealers so the system does work well for that purpose. (Not a criticism!) I would like to see a unit offered that would have like 2 ports so I could use a unit on each side. It’s too expensive to do this pairing. The alternative with the current unit might be to offer options of longer light shafts. I use a “shoot from above system from a copy stand and the focal length I need for certified coins in slabs doesn’t allow me to reach a lateral lighting scheme when using the unit from the supplied cold shoe configuration. Longer arms would be the solution. Good product otherwise.

Superb product!
It is a pleasure to work with a well-designed lighting system. I use it for Macro, Photomicrography and UVIVF photography, and it is well worth the investment.

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.

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.

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.

It was marvelous using the adaptlux lighting system and I am planning to add to what I have thank you

Adaptalux perfect for irises
I bought the adaptalux kit mainly to take iris photos and I’m completely satisfied. The system with the Android application works perfectly, the boost mode is a real plus and it’s very easy to use.
Garves Sébastien
All the options with the app
Device is really cool with all the features. Along with the app there’s a ton of options on how to use the lights for Macro photography. Well built, well packaged. A high quality product.
Allen
First ever adaptalux shooting with mushrooms
First setup a little bit tricky whe outside in the forest. However, I got used to it quite fast. So just look at the attached picture. That was No. five on this very first day with adaptalux.
Dirk
Highest quality of focused lightning
Adaptalux led arms are very flexible to be precisely set where needed on my settings. I really enjoy power dosing of each light through the app. Pod mini and control pod are very complementary, according to your settings. I highly recommend the adaptalux system for the light quality (precised colour temperature, beam angle adjustable).

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.

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.
Mike
Nice
The little pack with @ UV lights and 2 mini pods that I bought is just beautiful. Really, the first thing you notice is the build quality and an incredibly pleasant feeling on touch. I wish the lights were somewhat more powerful, but instead of complaining I will order 3 more and a Control Pod.
Viktor
Absolutely Brilliant
The uses of the individual light sources on the object is ingenious. It’s like post-processing images in the beginning… I still have a lot to practice, especially in the macro area, but with this system it is really fun. (The first fly looked somewhat extraterrestrial) I can really recommend this system.

The pod and arms seem very well made. The pro-mount seems a little less well made and I am not sure how well, or how long it will last. I plan on expanding my set up in the near future with some more lights, so I would definitely recommend it. Overall, I am very pleased with the product.
Patty
Most innovative and flexible macro lighting
A clever and well thought out dedicated design for macro photography. Great flexibility for lighting angles and colors for small subjects. App for controlling the unit is a bit futsy, but that is a minor gripe.
Kevin
Perfect fit for macro
Its great having a lighting system that is specifically tailored for macro. Being able to craft the lighting like any still life or portrait it elevates the creative choices for even the smallest of things. I love the system thank you

Great accessory for Macro photography
My favourite genre is macro flower photography. I often use my Adaptalux Studio for lighting staged flowers to produce great artistic effects. Adaptalux is simple to use, flexible and offers numerous lighting options due to the blending of colours and light intensity.

Point of my medical history ? well prior to finding this system my setup took days which by the time I was sorted I simply couldnt then actually take a dam photo because of the pain/tiredness, so I therefore rarely actualy got my camera out.
With this setup I think photography is going to be fun again, creative and spectacular I hope.
Oh customer service is first class as well.

Working with constant lighting takes the guesswork out of the equation. The ability to place and project light in different colours and at different strengths continually makes you think about your composition and the many ways you could light your subject.
The portability of the system allows you to get down and dirty with your macro subjects and see the possibilities you never ever saw before.
In addition, you can add to the system as you go along or as you skills and photography needs develop.
The Adaptalux system is innovative and fun to use. Moreover, it’s a demonstration of what can be achieved when you have a clear goal.

My order was delivered Down Under in little more than a week and Sam/Ben answered a couple of beginner’s queries overnight.
The products are sturdy and versatile. I discovered that the pod plus lights were best used attached to a spare tripod. I’ve been trying to watch all the excellent videos. I’ve been trying out various lenses and thinking of imaginative subjects. This is going to be so much fun!!

I was impressed by the packaging of the delivered items. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. I’ve been busy photographing wildlife outside, so I really haven’t had a change to use my A. Studio. As soon as we start getting some flora and fauna, I may try it outdoors. It’s still pretty bare on the landscape here in New England, USA. I will be setting up a macro area in my studio soon. I can wait to try it all out.

No matter how bright a light source is, with smaller subjects you always need, more light!
These are, The Answer to that problem. I have a smile on my face, every time, I use them!
If you are into creating different lighting, especially on small and macro subjects, these will put a smile, on your face!

A compact setup to light your macro setups

I ordered the ADAPTALUX Nature LED macro lighting starter pack with one extra light arm. The set is compact and lightweight and easy to set up. Differences in light colour temperature are very apparent which gives great opportunities. The control pod can be easily manipulated either on the knob, or through the app.
Learning how to manipulate lights can be tricky, depending on what you want to do. This requires training.
Attaching the arms to the pod did not always give stable light; it depends on the orientation I bring in the arm.
All in, I’m learning, and apart from the small quirks I mentioned I really love the set.

A lightweight flexible lighting system.
I started with the mini pods and lighting arms for lightweight easy additional lighting. However then purchased the main pod and the brighter lighting arms which provide that extra detailed focus of light. Great effects. I’m impressed with the products and excellent customer service. Looking forward to the new flash arms when they come out.
Sans
Flexibility, compact and easy to use.
Good experience with this system and the accompanying videos helped me to get to grips with the system pretty quickly. Looking forward to eventually getting the UV lights and possibly a strobe or two even though I am a big fan of the always on lighting.
John
Adjustable arms,light, app
Brilliant idea and works a charm, love the flexibility and the app, will be using this many many times, my only gripe is built in batteries, wished I had the option of changing batteries, something like an 18650, that’s just me

I recently received my Christmas package with the Adaptalux Pod starter kit. I’m impressed with the setup and ease of use of the pod with the cell phone app. My primary use will be macro photography of mosses using my Canon Rebel SL1 with EFS-60 macro lens. I am enjoying the ability to shoot without a flash yet still have plenty of light and be able to shut the f stop down for sufficient depth of field. The coloured background cards are handy!

Pod version 3 as update to version 1
I updated my version 1 pod to version 3 due to the boost mode, which I like for iris-photography. It is not a cheap tool, but for macro-photography the best on the market.

The sheer micro adjustments possible with the lighting
I recently completed Macro video filming of Gemstones and Jewellery for a Japanese National Television program. The very well built Adaptalux kit helped me get some amazing shots and the producers were not only impressed with the kit but how the images turned out and the kind of intricate control I had over the lighting.

One of the best things I’ve got in my kit, totally flexible, easy to use and with amazing results.

Solid build
As I start to use my kit I’m finding the flexibility of control over the lights with the associated app is very useful. I also referred to the FAQ’s on the website to successfully solve a question by following the recommended advice – problem solved!

UV light tubes are great!
I recently purchased the UV light tubes with the combo pack and have been really happy with their performance for reflected UV-light macro photography.

On boost mode, they’re bright enough that I can use a relatively low ISO while stopping down the lens to get additional depth of field. I can tell that they’ll also be great for UV-induced fluorescence, because when I’m using them I see objects fluorescing in my studio!
Aaron
Ease of use
Just a simple and well thought out device. Works as advertised. It would be great having some longer lights in the system. It would give you more room when you need to bend the light in a larger arch. Still a great product.

In fairness since receiving my kit I have not had the time to give it the justice it deserves (partly due to recently completing a very complex desktop publishing project, in between regular hospital visits for cancer treatment).
However the tests I have done show the future potential of the lighting system admirably. being able to accurately position the continuous lights and selectively control individual light output via the app is fantastic.
I am sure my initial kit will be complemented in future as I gain more experience of Adaptalux Studio in a macro rig environment.

Product’s mobility

I have owned my studio for just over a year. After stumbling across a video on YouTube, I was impressed with what I saw. And thought this is something even I could use, and I was right. With everything being compact as they are, it is quite easy to maneuver around just about any set up I can come up with. And being able to take the lights outside in the dark, I am not stumbling around heavy equipment. So, the mobility I have with my studio, is very satisfying.
The photo I submitted was a mistake photo, I was only focusing, but I pressed to hard, but I do like the results.

Quality of LED’s and master control unit
I have used the studio with various setup for macro illustrations. Lighting is perfect for all applications. I would recommend this product for others using macro lighting for their projects.
William J Miller
The control that is available to each light/arm
I have been using the control pod/lighting arms for a little bit now and Really have had no issues with the product. Really appreciate the control available through the App on the smart phone and save different profiles, allowing all the control of the lighting.

Manage light
I love the flexibility to manage the light intensity and position of the arms. I still didn’t have time to test a lot of the product because it was a Christmas present.

The Adaptalux Studio proved invaluable in letting me position lights of different colors and intensities to illuminate not only macro scenes but also still life compositions. The flexibility of the lighting arms together with use of the iphone app allowed me to adjust, balance and dial in just the right amount of light in real time, in live view, to bring the atmosphere I was looking for to life. This versatility of the Adaptalux Studio has opened up many new opportunities to explore the creative use of lighting.
Ted
Very much satisfied with LED lighting & S-Arm
It gives daylight colour temperature, easy to use. Light intensity can be adjusted from mobile app. It is must for macro photography in my opinion. Very much satisfied with the product

Four lighting arms of my choice, with a little advice from the Adaptalux team.
Three defusers.
Two colour filters, again with advice from the Adaptalux team.
Various cables, a charging adapter and cold shoe fitting.
With the help and advice from Adaptalux this combination of lighting arms and filters gave me a great start. I will of course be adding lighting arms and filters in the near future.

Expand Your Creative Horizons…
The Adaptalux Studio has enabled me to take my creativity to another level. The UV Arms in particular have taken me down a new path in my photographic journey. One of my favorite sayings is “in the right light, even the ordinary can look extraordinary’ – the Adaptalux Studio helps make this all possible.

I am so happy with my Adaptalux lights! I photograph miniature scenes for children’s books and it’s always been difficult to find lights small enough. My work tabletop is a sheet of metal, so the magnetic bases I bought are perfect for easy and secure placement. The lights’ flexibility, dimming function and beam angle adjustment give me a great range of control, and the magnetic filters are genius. Excellent online tutorials by Ben helped to get me started.
The whole experience with Adaptalux was a pleasure; expeditious delivery, gorgeous packaging, well-made products and helpful communications. Great thought and care are apparent in every aspect of Adaptalux. Highly recommend!

Flexibility and diversity
Although I haven’t had the chance to use the system yet, I have conducted several dry run mock-ups in preparation for getting out this weekend. I primarily purchased the system for outdoor macro photography and I am sure it will more than fulfil my requirements.

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.

When it come to customizing and personalizing macro shots, Adaptalux far surpasses other lighting. Like that placements, directions and intensity can be adjusted to suit YOU!! Very light, very portable!! What’s not to like?

It’s not cheap, but the build quality is fantastic. Just like a photo studio set up, you can set it up beautifully with the adaptalux app. I can recommend it to everyone for macro photography.

In a time when personalized service & interaction with online companies is non-existent Adaptalux is above & apart! The email I sent asking for assistance was replied to within hours followed by a further interchange on tweaking my custom package – then they shipped out asap & it arrived in 3 days! (UK to South Africa – this is a type of world record! in Dec!) but that is not where it stops. Upon opening the large box there was a letter…yes a letter. A personal thank you for my order & a Yorkshire tea bag! – amazing extra touch! followed by a welcome email – with “let’s get started“ links tutorials & tips – I saw some moans about the cost, but here you get far more than you pay for!
