Have subscribers send it pictures or short clips of their home studios, maybe pick some of the more unique ones, and sort of tell us how you would not necessarily redo it, but tweak it a little or change angles to make it better.

I just received mine yesterday. I bought a 2x set on Amazon for 56 euro (around 60$). The only thing that I'm worried about is the screws that tighten the stand. They look very cheap and not built to last. The good thing is that it looks like it could be repaired. I left the bulbs in the boxes and put them in a bag. I'll need something better to protect it. For the price (30$ a piece) is fantastic. Other than my fatastic Neewer on camera RGB light and a cheap 10 inch RGB selfie ring, these are my first real video lights. Let's hope for the best.
