Flashpoint II 320A

Just received my first monolight today. I bought the beginner kit which comes with a light stand and an umbrella. I'll have to say it came with better accessories than I had expected including a 10ft air cusioned light stand and a 40" umbrella which converts from a reflective to a shoot through. The manual was a whole 1 page front and back which was probably more than was necessary to figure out how to setup and use it. Seems like solid semi-professional build quality of course this will take much testing to determine if this is actually the case or not. Hopefully I'll have some test shots up later tonight (self-portraits are a pain).

What to test my strobes on.

Your sexy girlfriend, preferably scantily dressed of course!

Such a newbie question!

If I had a sexy girlfriend (or any girlfriend) I'd have already done that and it wouldn't have been clad period (I mean how would that be fun)...

One thing I find interesting about these lights is that they're advertised as having stepless power control from full to 1/8th power but the little knoby thing seems to go down to 1/16th (mind you I don't have a light meter so I'm not sure that is the actual output ratio).
