It does look too good to be true, but I can't see anything obvious which would set alarm bells ringing...

The items come from "Happy Sales UK", which rang an alarm bell - visions of some back street lock-up in Shanghai. But their sales record seems fine - and if anything went wrong I would think Amazon would want to keep it quiet.

Was at a studio Sunday and they have just got a portable light for £200, If you look at UK prices the battery will set you back £700+

Seller rating on Amazon looks ok. Don't know about the product though, not a name I've heard of. Personally, I would spend that little bit extra and go for Interfit or one of the better name brands.

That's what I thought too!
Oh well! I have no need for a studio kit, thought I would share my findings though!

Just be aware that Amazon have a Market Place, which these might be using, and Amazon accept no responsibility for any transaction that go wrong on there.
