The MS300V Indoor Studio Flash Lighting Kit for Pet & Animal Photography is designed for photographers who need flexibility, speed and control when working with animals in a studio environment.
Built around three Godox MS300V studio flash heads, this kit allows you to create a complete lighting setup with a main light, fill light and hair or background light. The included softboxes with grids help shape the light while reducing spill, which is especially useful when working with reflective fur, darker coats or lively pets that move unpredictably.
With a boom stand for overhead or back lighting and wireless power control from the camera position, this kit is designed to help you work efficiently and safely while keeping attention on the animal.

The MS300V is a 300Ws mains-powered flash head with adjustable output and an LED modelling lamp. Using three lights allows you to build a classic three-point lighting setup.
Why it matters:
Multiple lights give you control over shadows, highlights and background separation, even with animals that have challenging fur tones or textures.
The kit includes both 30×90cm and 60×90cm umbrella softboxes with grids.
The 60×90cm softbox works well as a soft, flattering key light.
The 30×90cm softbox is ideal for rim, side or background lighting.
The grids help prevent light spilling onto backgrounds or floors.
Why it matters:
Controlled light reduces unwanted reflections in eyes and keeps contrast manageable on shiny or dark fur.
The reclined 2-in-1 boom stand allows you to position a light safely above or slightly behind the animal for hair lighting or separation from the background.
Why it matters:
Overhead or rim lighting adds depth and shape, helping subjects stand out from darker backdrops.
Two 240cm air-cushioned light stands provide stable support for the key and fill lights. The Godox XT16 trigger allows you to adjust flash power wirelessly from the camera.
Why it matters:
Less walking around the set means you can react quickly to expressions and movement.

Is flash safe for animals?
Yes, when used responsibly and not fired excessively at very close range. Many professional pet photographers use studio flash safely; animals typically respond more to noise than light, so calm handling and gradual introduction to the setup are important.
Can this be used for human portraits as well?
Absolutely. The three-light setup is equally suitable for classic portrait photography.
Can I add more lights later?
Yes. The MS300V uses the Bowens S-mount and Godox 2.4GHz system, making it easy to expand your lighting setup.
