Josh A - 11/03/2022
Unlike the photo that Filmtools has of the product, it does NOT come with a carrying case. Just a cardboard tube. Misleading!

The belt is very thick and stiff, so it's a little hard to work with.

Great tripod !

The price for the 650 bulb seems to hold its price consistent. I use for my ARRI 650w video production lights.

One of 3 of the ok bulbs were on back order...Filmtools handled the transaction professionally. Communication was key. And just received the last bulb yesterday. (Less than a week)

The first one I received would not charge past 53 percent. So I returned and just got another to test. I like everything else about it: power output, variable kelvin, dimmer, size. Perfect eye light for run and gun. The rubber chemera works well to soften. The small belt pack works for me, easy access for hand holding when running a ronnin.

The fixture is high quality craftsmanship and well worth the price. However, the cheap paper china ball broke tore I was attaching it to the frame. I taped it and used zip ties to latch it to the frame. The china ball is too shallow for the 24" frame, but I got it to work for the video podcast. In the future I will purchase a nylon fabric ball and adapt it to the frame.

You sell the Lanternlock Light Fixture.

I've tried many other China balls and want a fixture that will hold up for a long time.

The paper China ball ripped immediately while I was attaching it to the Lanternlock frame. There is not any guarantee on the paper China ball, so I'm forced to purchase another, but the shipping cost is greater than the cost of the paper China ball.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
