Also, anyone ever work with studio lighting? Have a preference between the two? And finally, how's your day going
Like everyone I started with speedlight and I still find them useful for certain situations. I have a TTL one and a manual one on me at all times. But I also have my strobe kit in the boot of my car with me these days too. I prefer to use them due to the ease of connecting light modifiers and their extra output. I have a Jinbei DM3 dual head kit...
Ahem!
They are a lesser known Chinese brand but here in Australia they get highly recommended by a number of Pros as good quality, great value bit of gear. And I have to agree. They have equivalent specs to brands like Elinchrom lower spec strobes at half the price. This allowed me to also buy their battery pack to go along with them, so I can use them anywhere. I am thinking of buying another higher spec strobe from them that has a battery pack incorporated into the head (no cables or battery pack required) and also caters for HSS which these ones don't.
The extra power let's you overpower day light which is handy at times. Or even the ability to equalise it. This was taken in the middle of the day in the Australian summer...

You can see there are no harsh shadows as you would expect from a photo taken at this time of the day.
