what is a tripot?

is it 3 pots?

btw those are not real lights, i am not saying they cannot be used

" Professional light system including two light tripots and 125W bulbs."
I guess it's tripod? typo error? backdrop w/o lighting possible? I mean just using flash?

wat do u mean by flash (portable or studio)? sorry... i'm totally new to all this gadjets...

go to the studio equipment websites and read their publications
then visit studios to see what it actually does

then rent a studio to play with the equipment

after all of that then you can decise to buy or not to buy

do your sum, all these items PQ23 is also selling, add them up together you will have your answers.

but do not the flash is not very powerful, and no modeling lamp.

portable means is able to power by batteries

studio means is running on AC.

usually we call it lights stand, tripod is referring to camera tripod.

btw, the light shows in the photo is AC powered slave flash, you better check properly is he giving you a 125w household light bulb or the AC powered slave flash?

mostly people would want to shoot everything..

than the one which you show is good enough, but I would spend $$ on lights rather than on background system for the beginning, you can make do with whatever things as background.
