Which one should I choose? I'm a beginner and I have continuos lighting that is OK but need flash now. Let me know which one or neither. I do have a budget.
Option 1 is from my local camera store ($280):
The PROMASTER SystemPRO Basic 2-Head Studio Flash Kit is perfect for the beginning photographer ready to venture into using studio flash. This kit comes complete with compact 160ws flash heads, light stands, umbrellas, and a carrying bag for all of your gear.
Specifications:
The Basic 3-Head Kit includes:
2 -160ws flash heads
with built in slave, modeling lamp, variable power, audible
ready signal and replaceable flash tube
2 - Deluxe light stands
1 - White umbrellas
1 - Silver umbrella
Deluxe carrying bag
Option 2 is from Cowboy Studio ($160)
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Two (2) 7ft Light Stands
Two (2) 180 Watt Strobe Flash MonoLights
One (1) 33" Soft umbrella
One (1) 33" Black and Silver Umbrella
One (1) 15 ft Sync Cord
Two (2) 50 Watt Model Light
One (1) 10 ft Power Cord
One (1) Carrying Case for the Kit (optional)
I did notice that that option 1 does not come with any cords and not sure how much that is. I do have one other question. How do the flashes know when to fire? Do you attach a cord to one of the flash units and the other senses the light or what?
