The best you can buy
If you want reliability, control and flexibility these are the best on the market, they let you make precise adjustments much the same way you would in a studio environment while being out enjoying the environment, what more can I say.
Trevor
A brilliant innovative product
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
Rob
Adaptability
The ability to quickly swap arms and move light around is amazing. The only thing I can think of that might make this system better is a more secure feeling click when I seat an arm.
Rob
I have had an excellent experience
I have had an excellent experience thanks to Sam in customer service… thank you Sam… will buy and use many more times as the products are also first class and would recommend them to anyone looking to get into Macro photography.

✨ Adaptalux Lighting Arms – Product Review ✨
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.

J’aime beaucoup ces petites diodes que j’emmène facilement dans mon sac. De plus elles tiennent longtemps en autonomie. C’est avec plaisir que je ferai des éloges d’Adaptalux. 😊
Patrick
An amazing solution to Macro lighting!
I recently purchased a complete bundle of Adaptalux products and couldn’t be happier with the quality and possibilities these lights now give me when taking creative Macro shots. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to experiment with Macro lighting.
Alex
Great but still room to improve
I’m genuinely loving the Adaptalux kit I’ve bought and whilst I went big early, I’m already getting strong results. That said still very very useful.
Shaun
Adaptalux la qualité
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.
Patrick
Takes photos to the next level
Used these a few times with the main Control Pod 3.0 and a few single Pod Mini and to have this much control on lighting is really good.
Tyne
I’m very impressed with Adaptalux!
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.
Vladyslav
Very versatile
Got the nature pack. Great to have some different colours but also to increase the white where it can get a bit dark.
Paul
Versatility and modularity
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.
Philippe
Easy to manage
I purchased the pod mini and they have proven to be very versatile and effective for outdoor macro work.
Tim
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.
Wim
Excellent Product
The lights I used previously didn't allow for precise lighting adjustments during macro photography.
However, the Adaptalux Studio LED arms enable fine-tuned lighting control on the subject, expanding the scope of my photography.
I am truly grateful—thank you very much.
HARUYUKI
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
Andy
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).
JC
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.

Ergonomie flexibilité précis magnifique
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
jerome
Versatility & build quality.
A versatile for numerous applications both inside & in the field
The UV options give extended versatility, and the flexibility means you can put the light exactly where you want it,
Build quality is excellent, and should last me many years
Kevin
ease of use and quality of product
I had been using the Nikon flash system but didn’t fully meet my lighting needs. When shooting extreme macro shots, it was hard to get the proper light in the correct location. Since using the adaptalux lighting system it is so much easier to place the lighting arms precisely and see in real time, what effect it has. 100% satisfied.
alex
Great product
Rarely does a product surpass the hype but this does, a game changer for your photography.
Sean
Effet créatif assuré en macro
Le système Adaptalux permet des effets de flares colorés en macro qui apportent une touche créative.
Très facile d’utilisation grâce à la flexibilité des bras.
Ravie de mon achat.
Delphine
Small size, light weight, many colours on hand
Having only recently received your product I’m still experimenting with multi lights, spread patterns, ease of placement, very happy so far with all my multiple choices.
Robert Jolliffe
Exactly what I needed.
I was relatively new to macro photography but the Adaptalux studio has elevated my photos to new heights. The ease of use and flexibility is what I enjoy the most. The videos are informative and provide valuable inspiration. The way you can angle the arms to provide just the right lighting is unsurpassed. I am currently saving to purchase more colors. Well done to the team for a wonderful product.
Eddy
I found it great to use
It was marvelous using the adaptlux lighting system and I am planning to add to what I have thank you
tony
Adaptalux Studio is very adaptable 😉
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.
Bryan
A world of light and fun awaits
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
Quality
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.
andy
Its ease of use.
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.
Robert
Unlocking a new world of photography
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
Rob
UVIVF
Having used and loved the regular arms and the Xenon Flash arms I thought I would try the UV lighting. A good decision. They need a blacked out room and tripods because of long exposures. The results are spectacular and very different. Unlike other UV lights I have tried, these give off a pure UV light. If you are considering trying UVIVF photography you will enjoy it. I have 3 arms but plan to buy two more. I can recommend the Adaptalux UV arms.
Ken
my favorite thing about Adaptalux is
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.
Carole
The app rocks. Easy and intuitive to use.
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.
Peter
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.
Tim
Ease of use and teaching me so much
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.
Mat Dudley
The “flexibility” is real!
Lighting Arms are very useful but the versatility of the setup also allows you to accomplish macro targets that are challenging.
Marsha
Great product! Customer Service is amazing!
Great product! From ordering, to shipping to receiving the Adaptalux kit was simple, received when stated. When I had questions , they were answered in a timely fashion. Great experience.
Cosimo Cavaliere
Easy to use and very versatile
I have found the Adaptalux Studio pod and lighting arms to be very easy to use and versatile in their application. The products are of high quality and have proved to be very useful in my macro photography helping me to get light to exactly where I want it.
Phil
Adaptalux Studio SUPER Ultimate Pack
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.
Adrian
Versatile and Useful
I first purchased the Adaptalux Studio at the Photography Show around 2016 (ish) this was the original adaptalux pod. I bought a kit. Over the years I have added UV arms and upgraded to the new improved POD recently. I have also just purchased the green lighting arm for some Christmas projects. If you have not watched the YouTube Channel you really need to do so. So many ideas and very well presented.
Barry
Well built and easy to use
The lighting arms are very well built and provide a most excellent light. Very easy to set up and focus.
Bob
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.
Kent
Adaptability
Nice and easy to use indoors and outdoors. Helps me get the lighting just where I need it. The kit is well-made and feels robust.
dave
A wonderful, innovative lighting system that works
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.
Highly recommended
Steve
Clever bit of kit
Enjoying using my recent purchase and the uv arms open new possibilities to macro photography.Very clever
John
Great service combined with a great product
I ordered my Adaptalux studio over the New Year period when typically shipping anything to Australia is difficult. Not so with my Adaptalux starter pack, it arrived in 4 days. Everything was very well packed and I was able to start using it the day it arrived. Thanks for a great product backed by great service.
Jen
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
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!
David
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.
Tom
How versatile the studio is. Easy and quick to use and set up.
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’ 😁
Andrea Maloney
Super
It really is super. It’s compact and easy to use. The light it produces is beautiful and easy to manage. I do a lot of petal portraits and this really helps to reveal their hidden beauty and personality. It really is an incredible value.
Dennis
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!
