Lately I've been doing just portraits of my kids using a remote hotshoe flash. My portability requirements have gotten low and I'd like to keep it simple and not go through a lot of batteries. I'd like to get an inexpensive monolight with variable output.
My kids are still toddlers so I don't need a lot of power - probably equivalent to a head shot. I'll be shooting through translucent umbrellas from about 4-5' away.
I'm lost concerning semi-reliable brands and power requirements. Online sales sometimes either provide watt-seconds or simple wattages. I'm always reading wonderful things about AlienBees but they are too expensive for me. Recommendations?
Thanks!
