When I say portable lighting system I mean you could buy some type of power generator and then buy some strong lights to hook up to it.
With the horrendous cost for a generator and crappy lighting results... its a waste, big time.
A lighting stand (maybe not even needed), an optical (peanut) trigger and an off camera strobe will do 100 times better at 1/10th the price.
- light stand: $20
- peanut trigger: $10
- off camera strobe: $80-100
The results: compared to a generator and constant on lights? TREMENDOUSLY better and a good start. Of course if you want more strobes or better control, thats where the money starts to come in... but the above setup is VERY functional.
