I have the opporunity to purchase a Dynalite kits with 2 800w/s packs and 3 heads, all I have to do is cancel the 5D MKIII preorder.
I'm really thinking about doing it right now as I can purchase the lights, sell my Speedos, and then save some cash up for the MKIII. At that point, the 5D3 will have been out for a little while and I'll be able to see hands on rather than being a first run test mule. There's negative with doing this over keeping my Speedos. I go from 5 lights to 3 for the time being. I do however go from a 1200 w/s pack and a 400 w/s pack to two 800 w/s packs. I'll not have the option for all out power; it's about 2/3 of a stop less light available to me from one pack. I will be purchasing at least one more head that will work with my beauty dish and maybe a 1600w/s-2000w/s pack in the future sometime. There's always good deals on ebay. The biggest bonus is that my lighting kit will no longer weigh over 100lbs loaded up into the giant Pelican 1654 and I'll be more apt to just go shoot rather than just working for other people.
Musings on the subject?
