I got the flash light and trigger they are really good and meets my requirements.. I enjoy using them

My LED lights and Mini Pods have opened up new options for my forest macro photography. The flexibility of the lights gives me far more choices in what I shoot & how I do so.

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。

Very rapid service and delivery. Very impressed.
The lighting i purchased was 2 UV lights. They did not disappoint! I applied them to various items, flowers, lichen on old sticks and bank notes. The results were beyond my expectations
Thankyou.

Had a problem with the delivery requiring a signature…. DPD would only deliver on Monday to Friday’s, when I am at work, they also had no local pickup points. Emailed my dilemma to customer support. Response was very rapind. After a brief chat the delivery was changed to a day which I had booked off. The delivery went smoothly. Packaging was good and in perfect condition. All parts were correct and all tested OK. Very good customer service. Five 🌟

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

Only just started playing with it. But it’s well made and effective.

I have been a serious hobby photographer, for 40+ years. I have always looked and wanted these very type of light system. These lights are a tremendous amount of help with creating special lighting on smaller subjects. The adaptability and color schemes are a dream come true!
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!

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!

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?

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).

Very good product I am very happy with it. It will be my production setup.

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.

My Iris Photography LED Lighting Pack is ideal for my new Iris photography setup, And will be a great addition to my other photography ideas

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.

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

So far so good with everything item that I have ordered. I am very pleased with the quality of the light arms/rods Unfortunately I have not had enough time to go out into the forest and give the system a proper going over. Spring is just around the corner.
My next purchase will be a flash. I keeping an eye on updates and am looking forward to the next iteration.

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.

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

Had a little bit of trouble setting up the pod with the app but Ben’s patient and friendly help soon got me up and running. The lights are so flexible in use and simply ideal for macro use especially when photo stacking. I look forward to adding to ‘my studio’ when funds permit and will share my very positive experiences with members of my camera club. Adaptalux seems to be a real success story – my thanks and congratulations to all of the team!!

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.

Amazing flexibility for macro lighting control. One of the finest systems available, perhaps the best.

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 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!

I tested the starting pack on my flower photography, and the results were fantastic. It was easy to use, and the educational video helped me a lot.

Rarely does a product surpass the hype but this does, a game changer for your photography.

excellent product I do like the idea of giving me an English tea packet

I was happy with the efficient ordering process online, and how promptly I received my order. I was impressed with the design and build of the UV lighting system. It produces a much cleaner, and effective narrow band light that brings out the best in UV subjects. I like the way the system can be controlled through the Adaptalux app on my phone.

C’est vite mis en place
Assez simple d’utilisation
Super simple l’application
On pourrait l’améliorer

I ordered LED light and it is, in one word, great! easy to carry and rotate perfectly, place where you want and provides beautiful light for beautiful results with macro photography. see my results: https://fotosquad.nl/collectie/?id=14558&collectie=macro-bloemen-insecten

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is only the 2nd product review I’ve done in the past 35 Years (‘Im 55), anyways around 20 years ago I was diagnosed with a condition called fybromylgia which has now progressed to chronic pain in every joint (think constant toothache in your bones 24/7).

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.

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.

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

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

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.

That was really interesting in using pod 3.0.

You will find your own way to exam your idea and creative.

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

I am just finishing up my new studio build and haven’t had the chance to try out either the white light or UV wands yet. The quality and looks of the product is excellent looking and I can’t wait to use them.

Unit is well made and functions well

I opened the box and within minutes I was using the pod/LED & UV lights and filers with ease. It is well made and I was happy with the product, customer service and shipping to Canada. It arrived quicker than expected which was a bonus. I am excited about delving more deeply into macro & close up photography with these great new tools and expect another purchase to fill in my set up.

I recently bought a bunch of Adaptalux lighting – and threw in a set of UV arms cause I thought ‘I’m here now, might as well’. And turns out they are just really nice tools! I’ve been taking awesome new pictures and am completely revitalised for flower photography!

In the 4 years since my original purchase, I’ve seen the time and commitment you’ve put into these products. I originally bought the 5 arm control unit, you kindly repaired the power connection. 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.

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.

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.

I am only just getting used to the lighting having done very little macro photography. However I am more than pleased with everything and cannot wait to experiment and learn more. The online Adaptalux videos are brilliant, giving me lots of ideas.

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

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.

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.

Love my flower results with UV lighting arms. Only thing I had to correct: should have gotten 3 rather than just 2 UV arms.

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.

Even though the parcel to Norway took a long time due to a PayPal problem. I am very satisfied with the product. Everything is ok.
Regards. Nice product.

I am really enjoying my experience with Adaptalux. I dove in headfirst and purchased both control pods, 5 UV arms, and an assortment of other arms & accessories. It’s amazing to see what and how various things fluoresce – things opens up a whole new genre of photo opportunities!

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.

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 added 3 UV arms to my Adaptalux outfit. UVIVF has added a new dimension to my photography. They are easy to use (a white handkerchief is an easy way to see where the UV light falls). The results can be spectacular. If you are thinking about buying UV Arms go for it. You will not regret it.

Flexible rods are very useful but the versatility of the setup also allows you to accomplish macro targets that are challenging.

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.

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.

A really useful quality LED Lighting Kit for macro tabletop photography. Excellent Adaptalux web site for instruction and technique on using the kit. Highly recommended.

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.

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

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.

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.

From pre purchase through to after sales, there is always a prompt and friendly response from a real person during office hours, rather than an automated response. If out of hours, communications are always answered next day.
Dispatch of their excellent products is very fast, well packed and tracked.

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.

Recently purchased. Still getting used to using the components. I am looking to develop my skills doing iris photography. Enjoying the portability and ease of use.

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.

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!

I left a review on my product but I also want to leave a review on your customer service. I give you five stars for your quick response to my questions as well as how quickly I received my product. I am thoroughly happy with your company.

I’m really pleased with my Mini Pods. I like how they can be repositioned easily and how I can focus light onto a small portion of my subject.

It’s not often, when opening a parcel, I smile. After receiving the beautifully packaged lighting system I realised this was money well spent. I suspect there has been an incredible amount of effort in the design and execution of Adaptalux and would highly recommend purchasing. I popped onto chat and the Gentlemen I dealt with were patient, courteous and informative. I’m recovering from major surgery, finally being able to play around and can’t wait to make a hash of it all as i’m pretty hopeless when it comes to artificial lighting, but confident i’ll crack it with their excellent products and supportive backing. Best wishes and good luck for the future.

Great light source for macro and close-up subjects. Composing in live view, using in-body focus bracketing and auto focus makes a macro photo session a joy.

So far, Ben has been my only contact at Adaptalux and he has been my EVERYTHING! Amazing customer service! In spite of me being in the US and he in the UK, my emails to him (and there have been many) are quickly and thoroughly answered. He has been happy to work with me on a couple of different issues and everything has worked out great! So happy to have not only found SUPERIOR products but customer service that matches that quality. I am going to be a long term customer with this company! Thank you Ben, for all that you have helped me with!

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.

Really love the system. Easy to set up shoot, and control the settings via the app for the main pod. The mini pod is great for side or backlight. Just had one shoot with uv light so far and can’t wait to do more.

For over 15 years, I have been volunteering within the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) dealing with macro photography. They require quality imagery of the objects, and lighting is key to that. I followed the Adaptalux system, but it was above our needs.
Adaptalux then produced the Pod Mini, a pair of lamps, with diffusers. The British Museum purchased a set for me to test. They are a game changer in the use of lights for the macro photography of small the objects, rings, brooches etc. and coins. They are very easy to set up and adjust as key and fill lights, using the camera live view screen.
Brilliant, thank you Ben, for your advice and great customer service with the system.

… have just dipped my toe in the water and purchased a mini, base, light, clamp and defuser. Really pleased the product oozes quality and is beautifully made and performs well. Everything about the company from the website, product, packaging and support has attention to detail. I’m so pleased I went down this route and will be adding items to my set up.

The lighting arms are very well built and provide a most excellent light. Very easy to set up and focus.

Excellent in all areas… Customer service is 100%

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.

The company is fantastic. Your videos giving technique advice are excellent and a big reason why I got interested in adaptalux in the first place. The website is unbelievably comprehensive and easy to use, with easy to find info. I ordered on sunday and it all arrived today, Tuesday, even on ‘standard’ free postage. Finally your packaging is superb, it rivals Apple and Sonos, 2 companies I really ratre for quality. So well done guys!

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.

I haven’t had a lot of opportunity to use the Adaptalux Studio that I purchased; however, the little I have used it, it seems to be a very versatile & easy set up. 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.

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.

I’ve been playing around with my new Adaptalux Studio for around 3 weeks, loving it so far! Thanks guys, great system.

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.

I commend Adaptalux for coming up with a very useful and well made resource for lighting a macro setup. The app too is well thought out and a joy to use.
The documentation makes you feel part of a community and the inclusion of a Yorkshire Tea Bag was a very nice personal touch.
Every aspect of Adaptalux is well thought out. The design of the product, packaging and documentation is impeccable. Thoroughly recommended.

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.

Until now I did not have much time to use the flashes. But what I did was very successful.
I really like the flexibility with the flex-arms. You don’t get such a result with a normal flash or continuous lighting.
one thing I do want is more infrared connecting points on the flash. Until now I am very happy with the flash and it can only get better!!

I bought the Combo to use instead of a speedlight when taking macro shots in the field. The quality is excellent, the design is amazing and the service superb. Adaptalux kit is not cheap but performs better than anything else. A true investment in my photography that will get a lot of use over coming months and years.

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.

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

Enjoying using my recent purchase and the uv arms open new possibilities to macro photography.Very clever

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.

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!!

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!

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.

I recently purchased this system and love it! Used purple and green lights with diffusers to highlight fresh asparagus and I thought it looked awesome. I will continue to play with the lights and macro lens! I would definitely recommend this and in the future, I plan on adding the led arms.
I am in Canada and I still find it hard to believe that this arrived in 3 days! Good job!

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!

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.

Since receiving my Adaptalux Studio lighting it has been a game changer. The flexibility that it provides and the ability to the light and more so the color of the lighting is exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to add other lighting arms. The build quality is fantastic. Kudos to the team at Adaptalux.

Regards
Brian

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.

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.

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

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. Macro video shooting can be challenging and the Adaptalux kit was in my opinion was essential – in speed, getting the look I wanted and the kind of micro adjustments needed to make it all come together.

Love the system. I even ordered the carry case to put them in. The box they came in was good, but I just wanted better protection and easy access.
Love the lights and the MACRO video ideas you share.

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’ 😁

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.

The studio system was easy to set up and use. So many possibilities with the colours available

Excellent customer service. Very quick delivery. Fantastic advice given if you are hesitant about purchasing these lights or any Adaptalux equipment. My lights that I ordered are fantastic & will be adding to them. Can’t wait for the flash to be released. I would highly recommend Adaptalux whether you are a beginner like me or a professional

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.

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!

I was drawn to the Adatalux system by the color arms and filters. Both have worked great to this point, and I’m still experimenting. Great Product

My workspace is quite small and I don’t have room for lighting stands and sophisticated lighting equipment. The Adaptalux Studio will work nicely in my limited space.
I received the Adaptalux Studio about 3 weeks ago and so far, I have performed a couple of test shoots with flowers to become familiar with the operation of the equipment. I am very pleased with the results and I look forward to some fun springtime macro and closeup photography with flowers and other nature subjects.
I have had several questions for Adaptalux support, and I have been quite impressed with their response time and the quality of the responses.

I love how adaptable and versatile this system is. It has not only allowed for quick changes in lighting during a shooting session but because of the options of the mobile app along with the ability to focus the light, it also allows for a surprising amount of precision and control of the light, especially at such a small scale.

I have set up some flowers inside for trying out my lighting arm, and adjusted the angle of the arm to try and get the best shot. This is still a work in progress, but I know it will improve the quality of my work. I am looking forward to trying my flash arms when they arrive.

The adaptalux setup provides customizable lighting for any type of photostand.

I have used it twice (I’m preparing my move to Taiwan). I used it to make a macro stack-up picture. I use 2 Arms, white and red and illuminated my subject from the top. The effect was really great and it is easy to change the settings with the downloaded app.
I look forward to using it in the near future for some high-speed photography.

Very innovative lighting set up and great customer service – had an issue with mine and the problem was dealt with swiftly and in a no quibble, polite and friendly way – highly recommended.

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

Great controllable lighting system that is perfect for Macro photography

This is a great product. It has completely changed my macro photos. It is so flexible and easy to use. Controlled from my iPhone or from the pod itself, it turns macro photos into great macro pictures. The lighting combinations are just about endless.

I bought the Combo Pack, this included:
The Pod
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.

Definitely the best lightning system ever for photography!

Eu recomendo o Adaptalux, uma ferramenta a não perder para a nossa creatividade na fotografia, não esperem mais, não pensam mais, vale mesmo a pena comprar excelente..

I recommend Adaptalux, a tool not to be missed for our creativity in photography, do not wait any longer, do not think anymore, it’s worth buying excellent.

Very well engineered and very practical for serious macro photographers

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.

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.

I purchased 3 UV arms and the pod. I love the lights and the app really makes them easy to use.

Well, I must say I enjoy using the product both indoors and out. Very versatile and the only limitation would be one’s imagination for all the possibilities it can be used/applied to. I purchased all the arms in varying quantities and one of each diffuser. Easy to use and the app to control the arms is awesome. Would highly recommend it. Customer service has been excellent and responsive. No regrets!!!
