I have been eying this one. Got 2 recommendations from people I know that have used it with DSLR successfully.

Go for either kit 5 or 6, both are excellent even for outdoor shoots.

Before buying make sure you order the kits which have the compatible voltage in your country! UK for instance has I beleve 240/220 v but US has 110/120 v

Are you an Amazon affiliate?

Wow! No, just researched this. BTY, its been almost an year, I've been using ephoto lighting kit. Its very soft in terms of texture, so I couple it with videolights bounced off from umbrellas.

Wow! that's nice to hear from you...

Same here

Have you had any problems with the stands? The legs of mine don't tighten well and I haven't heard any problems from others.

They are loose but tight enough that the height i set to stays constant. Use sandbags on something equalent in case the load is heavy on the stand.
