    Better off buying the pieces separately

    Quality was not that great on all of the components. I thought I would luck out with this all in one kit, but I ended getting a mediocre mic, stand, and light. I love the fact that this is truly turnkey, but quality is low.

    This is my first tripod, It was a fairly easy setup. I like the light power it has and tried the mic. Not bad for the price range. I would of liked an extender to the stabilizer but it is practical and fun.

    I give it one star for the mini tripod. Otherwise this is a plastic piece of junk. It certainly is not worth 75 $. I have not tried the mic.

    Poor quality. Feels like a toy. The microphone keeps cutting off. I ended up recording with the iPhone’s microphone. I would have returned but lost half the pieces.

    I regret buying this! After recording a video interview with the microphone, there was a big crackle in the persons voice. The microphone is faulty, and it is not worth the price that I paid.

    Cheap, poor quality for the price your paying. Better off getting a cheap off brand kit from amazon. The light is very very small and ineffective.

    Lot of stuff in a compact setup. Would be great for traveling. A lot of it is stored in the tripod when you take it apart. Have not used the mic yet so can’t comment on how well it works.

    It was flimsy and didn’t fit on my phone. My phone was listed but it didn’t work. Every piece felt like cheap plastic.
