Fovitec Product Review: A New Player in Studio Lighting Worth Checking Out

As many photographers that are starting out, or even those of us who are seasoned professionals, it is a constant that as gear gets put to use, it sooner or later breaks or wears out. Or, as it was in my case, you have this really great shoot coming and you know you need that “special” softbox or strobe to get the job done. We are constantly shopping for gear and always looking for quality products at prices within our budgets. And, we don’t mind spending the money it takes to get the quality we desire even if it means putting off a few purchases to make that one we must have now.

As I was shopping for a large octabox- one over 5′- I ran across a new comer in the Studio photography lighting world- Fovitec. I had never heard of them and wondered if this was another of those lighting and photography online sellers that really had just sprung up with not-so-great quality products since their prices seemed more than reasonable. Well, “cheap” actually. I had actually considered renting since this might be something for a “one time’ shoot, but then again, it would be nice to own one for studio work too.
