Bought a Control POD 3.0 kit at the NEC earlier this year and have had great fun. Macro work needs precise lighting, often from multiple angles and this certainly delivers.

The app works very well giving full control without having to touch the setup which means nothing moves as you change settings.

Just bought a couple of POD Mini 2s to play with, not had a chance yet but I’ve no doubt they’ll be every bit as useful.

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

I am relatively new to Adaptalux. I bought a Pod mini pack at the Photography Show in 2024. One of my Pod minis suddenly stopped charging. Having tried all the tricks in the troubleshooting section, I contacted Adaptalux support via email, and within a few minutes help was on the line with solutions to try, that unfortunately were unsuccessful. I was asked to return my Pod mini for repair as soon as possible. Having done so, and a couple of days later I received an email telling me that a new pod mini was on its way. Now that is what I call great support. Absolutely first class service!

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.

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
