The seamless backdrop comes with three color sheets. The fabric isn't very thick, but is suitable unless you have a light source like a window behind it. The stands are lightweight but sturdy. I've used them for tradeshows to hang other banners because they are so easy to carry and assemble.
Weakest point is probably the lighting. It's not really enough light, nor can the lights be aimed or focused enough, to provide lighting you need for video or good photography. But it's a good starter kit, and will be good added filler lighting.
The umbrella light bulbs are gigantic (about 12 inches long) and throw a tremendous about of light. I'm using this kit's lights to light the muslins behind my model and then I use my main softboxes to light my subjects.
Set up is easy and although the bars feel a bit light, they do hold up well.
The backdrop extends up to 9 feet and the muslins are 12 feet long, well above anyone's height so shooting a full body shot, including their feet to the top of the head and beyond, is no problem.
My only real complaint, and this does make a HUGE difference for portability, is the carry bag does not hold the whole kit. For example, I already have a 3000 WATT Cowboy Studio softbox kit and hair light boom and everything fits in the large carry bag that came with that kit, blubs, lamps, softboxes, stands, boom, etc... everything fits so I can carry it all in one large bag.
However, with this kit, the bag really isn't a bag at all, it's a fold over flat case. Only some of the bars from the back drop fit into it's pockets along with the umbrellas. Forget the blubs and lights, the whole back drop doesn't even fit in the carry bag as there isn't any room for the stands. I'm not sure why the bag was even included, it doesn't even hold half of the kit. There's no where to put the large light bulbs or the stands or the muslins. I need to purchase a larger carry bag to have everything together.
