Before plunking down over $5,000 to buy a Westcott Cine Flex kit I wanted to experience it for myself and see if the results were really that different from my Flashpoint/Godox AD300s with glow softboxes. So Kevin Thai and I did a headtohead comparison of the two systems for taking headshots. In this video we review the time it takes to setup each system, how long it takes to dial in lighting for an individual, and compare the resulting headshots taken of 3 individuals that were photographed using both the strobes and the flex kit setup.



What was our conclusion???? Don't feel like watching the whole thing? Fine, fine! Here's the answer:

It's TOTALLY worth the money! After I used it that afternoon I went right home and put in my order for a flex kit. Worth EVERY PENNY!!!! I love my flex kit and never want to go back to strobes! Ok, ok. Strobes have their place in photography, no question. But when it comes to doing headshots, give me my flex kit any day of the week! Thanks Peter Hurley and Westcott lighting for creating such an AMAZING product!
