Hello guys. I didn't post for along time here, but I kept reading you. There's lot of info around here.
So what's my problem? Well, I have 1500$ and by the end of this month I need to buy a 2 lights setup. I will also need a battery since I am going to shoot mostly outdoors. I tried to look for something good but in the 1500$ (+,- 200$) cap, so I ended up asking for your help.
So this is what I need. So the accessories (like light stands, umbrellas, soft-boxes, etc) are irrelevant, so the 1500$ are strictly for flash heads and battery. I don't need wireless triggers because I have some skyports that I use with my 2 flashes. I need something in the range of 300W to 600W (preferable 600W) and a battery that can sustain both of the flash heads at half of their power. I mean if i have 2 lights of 600W i will need a 600W battery.
What I am going to do with the lights? Mostly outside beauty/fashion/portrait shoots, but I will also use them in the studio. Many of the times i will try to overpower the sun, so the power will mater.
I need something good, durable and consistent. I know I am picky and somewhat cheap, but I need something good, and that's the money I can invest at this time.
Any ideas will be very welcomed. I hope you'll help me decide. Looking forward for your answer.
Thanks guys.
