Reddit mentions of LimoStudio Photo Shooting Kit with Background Support System & Umbrella Softbox Lighting Kit, Photo Video Studio, AGG1388

A lot of people will start off with the Panasonic G7. It's basically the cheapest 4K interchangeable lens camera you can get right now. The quality of the video is really good, and if has a microphone input if you eventually choose to add one of those to your setup. Using a 4K camera will also help you be a little more accurate with your post production when working with a green screen.


For the green screen and lighting, just start with a backdrop kit. The key to green screen is not necessarily using an expensive kit. What you really need, is consistent lighting across the backdrop, and that kit will be a good start to be able to do that.

[This is the one I am planning on purchasing.] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LV46738/)

Yes, it is basically a strong light bulb, but I mainly want to play around and see how my photos change with the diffused and directed lighting, changing angles and distances etc.

I ordered a bundle from Amazon about 3 years ago from LimoStudio. It was about $150 and came with a backdrop stand with three different fabric backdrops, a bunch of clamps, two softboxes with diffusers, two umbrellas, four light stands, four bulbs, and a bag to carry it all in. I don't use it much anymore, but it's still going strong. I know $150 is over your budget, but the same company offers smaller bundles that are well within your budget. I used the two softboxes more than anything else, and for a while, I always carried one of them in my car. They really do produce beautiful light.

Weekends are my busiest streaming days since I normally run from 12pm-1am but I'll try to throw a guide together this weekend and post it on the sub.

But for you:

LimoStudio Green Screen Stand - $35

LimoStudio Green Screen - $18

LimoStudio Studio Light Umbrella Kit - $52

Alternatively, you could get the softboxes instead:

LimoStudios Light Softbox Kit - $77

What's interesting is Limo no longer sells the green screen and stand together without the lighting kit but I don't think that's a deal killer.

Alternatively, if you want the full setup in one go, with two umbrellas, two softboxes, four light stands, a green screen and stand, and a black and a blue backdrop. The only thing substantially different from this kit is that it leaves out the third, small light stand from the umbrella kit that is typically used to project light on the subject's back to create a "highlight" on the outline of the subject to help the chromakey separate from the subject and the green screen but I don't use this and don't have any issues.

LimoStudios Full Light and Backdrop Kit - $143

Also, quick question, when I make this guide do you think it would be helpful to provide light setup and position guides as well as chromakey guides?

I bought this recently. It's fucking great. Two umbrellas two softboxes three backdrops and frames and tripods for all of it. Works great so far.
