5 star review
A 5-star award by AP is very rare, so we're sure you won't mind us shouting about it!

Not only were they very impressed with the things that we believe really matter to our customers - the performance, the build quality, the ease of use and the accessories we include with the kit, they also describe it as 'Amazing value' on their cover! See cover image, top right

The ElitePro kits
All of our ElitePro 300 kits have the same flash heads that AP tested, the differences between the various kits is in the accessories, such as softboxes, background support system and backgrounds etc included.
As you can see, the only thing that AP wasn't totally happy about was that we don't include our optional  3-head carry bag, which has plenty of room in it for all the bits and pieces, in the Starter Kit.

But, as they pointed out, it's available as an optional extra extra - and the 3-head bag is one of the many items that we've reduced in price too, which makes the pain of buying it a bit less!
