Used these a few times with the main pod and a few single pods and to have this much control on lighting is really good.

Very easy to use. Large choice of color filters.

No problems at all. Quick response when stock was available again, protective packaging as my mail was to Australia. Can’t fault anything.

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.

So easy to use, great light and colors.

Got the nature pack. Great to have some different colours but also to increase the white where it can get a bit dark.

I bought a mixture of neutral, warm and cold light arms mostly for photographing fungi in the South of France. I’ve always been frustrated with using flash photography especially when I need to focus stack in the field. So far I’ve only experimented with some bracket fungi but the Adaptalux system allows me to put light where ever I want it and varying intensity. It takes a while to set up by the early results are impressive. I do a few experimental test shots, when I get the desired effect I set the camera to photostack and leave it to do its thing. I’ll certainly try UV lighting in the near future when I set up a studio.

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

So I bought a pod 3, a few lightning 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.

I purchased the pod mini and they have proven to be very versatile and effective for outdoor macro work.

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.

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!

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
