That is pretty quick!

What do you guys think about the battery strobes vs the plug in mono heads?



PS...some nice pano at your site tirediron!

Thanks - I need to update those one of these days too!

I like the idea of battery-pack units, but they're too darn expensive for my tastes. I can make/buy power-supplies for my monolights for a LOT less than a decent single head and battery from any of the major brands. Personally, I like using the old 300/500 series Sunpak hammerheads. Great flashes, nearly bullet-proof, use 'AA' batteries or line voltage... and you can get 'em used for $40-50 each.

I use some small woodworking clamps to attach the black or white sheets to the shelves of a tall bookcase. Works fine. Be gentle, you don't need much pressure, and you don't want to damage the shelves!
