About Us

Thank you for visiting our website.

Offering quality products for demanding photographers is our goal and passion. We are proud to be the premier SMDV distributor in the U.S.

SMDV's founder, Mr. JS Kim was a professional photographer and has been operating his own studio for 10 years when he decided to establish SMDV in 2003. Unsatisfied with his photographic equipment at the time, JS sought to develop and manufacture quality photographic lighting equipment that he himself would be happy to buy and use as a professional photographer. That has been his passion and unwavering goal ever since: to make quality equipment that he himself would be happy to use as a demanding professional photographer.

Since 2003, SMDV has helped photographers all over the world with many highly regarded photographic lighting accessories such as the FlashWave radio flash triggers, RFN-4 wireless shutter releases, and Speedbox softboxes. SMDV products are designed, engineered, and made in Korea.

As we continuously strive to improve our products and services, we would love to hear from our customers.

Thank you.
