Hello Everyone,
Lets see the input I can get from you on this one.
I'm looking for a lighting set up that can do the following for me:
- Portable : For portraits all over town, from athletes to bands, and even quick *shudder* for-hire portraits
- Powerful : A two light and power pack that can throw light for snowboard and other action sports sequences
- Fast : I'm trying to strobe these sports sequences (a basic two, light set up for swimming and volleyball, obviously you'd ideally have 4, but an expandable system might cover this in the future)
- Durable : if I'm taking these everywhere, it needs to be durable. Nuff said.
So who has tips?
I'm obviously looking to balance cost versus all of these things. I've looked at the Elinchrom Ranger AS but I worry about the power output being assymetrical. I looked at the Paul Buff Einsteins but worry they aren't powerful enough or won't refresh fast enough being self-contained. Profoto seems way too expensive. Help??
